      dm: add target num_write_bios fn · b0d8ed4d
      Alasdair G Kergon authored
      Add a num_write_bios function to struct target.
      
      If an instance of a target sets this, it will be queried before the
      target's mapping function is called on a write bio, and the response
      controls the number of copies of the write bio that the target will
      receive.
      
      This provides a convenient way for a target to send the same data to
      more than one device.  The new cache target uses this in writethrough
      mode, to send the data both to the cache and the backing device.

      dm kcopyd: introduce configurable throttling · df5d2e90
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      This patch allows the administrator to reduce the rate at which kcopyd
      issues I/O.
      
      Each module that uses kcopyd acquires a throttle parameter that can be
      set in /sys/module/*/parameters.
      
      We maintain a history of kcopyd usage by each module in the variables
      io_period and total_period in struct dm_kcopyd_throttle. The actual
      kcopyd activity is calculated as a percentage of time equal to
      "(100 * io_period / total_period)".  This is compared with the user-defined
      throttle percentage threshold and if it is exceeded, we sleep.

      dm ioctl: allow message to return data · a2606241
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      This patch introduces enhanced message support that allows the
      device-mapper core to recognise messages that are common to all devices,
      and for messages to return data to userspace.
      
      Core messages are processed by the function "message_for_md".  If the
      device mapper doesn't support the message, it is passed to the target
      driver.
      
      If the message returns data, the kernel sets the flag
      DM_MESSAGE_OUT_FLAG.

      dm ioctl: optimize functions without variable params · 02cde50b
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      Device-mapper ioctls receive and send data in a buffer supplied
      by userspace.  The buffer has two parts.  The first part contains
      a 'struct dm_ioctl' and has a fixed size.  The second part depends
      on the ioctl and has a variable size.
      
      This patch recognises the specific ioctls that do not use the variable
      part of the buffer and skips allocating memory for it.
      
      In particular, when a device is suspended and a resume ioctl is sent,
      this now avoid memory allocation completely.
      
      The variable "struct dm_ioctl tmp" is moved from the function
      copy_params to its caller ctl_ioctl and renamed to param_kernel.
      It is used directly when the ioctl function doesn't need any arguments.

      dm ioctl: introduce ioctl_flags · e2914cc2
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      This patch introduces flags for each ioctl function.
      
      So far, one flag is defined, IOCTL_FLAGS_NO_PARAMS.  It is set if the
      function processing the ioctl doesn't take or produce any parameters in
      the section of the data buffer that has a variable size.

      dm: merge io_pool and tio_pool · 5f015204
      Jun'ichi Nomura authored
      This patch merges io_pool and tio_pool into io_pool and cleans up
      related functions.
      
      Though device-mapper used to have 2 pools of objects for each dm device,
      the use of bioset frontbad for per-bio data has shrunk the number of
      pools to 1 for both bio-based and request-based device types.
      (See c0820cf5 "dm: introduce per_bio_data" and
       94818742 "dm: Use bioset's front_pad for dm_rq_clone_bio_info")
      
      So dm no longer has to maintain 2 different pointers.
      
      No functional changes.

      dm: fix truncated status strings · fd7c092e
      Mikulas Patocka authored
      Avoid returning a truncated table or status string instead of setting
      the DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG when the last target of a table fills the
      buffer.
      
      When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status
      calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero,
      retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets
      DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG.
      
      However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method
      on overflow. Most targets returns always zero.
      
      If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the
      table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in
      retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it
      goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned.
      
      In the current code, the targets behave in the following way:
      * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the
        key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows.
      * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened.
        This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error
        code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow.
      * all the other targets always return 0.
      
      This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because
      most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in
      retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space
      completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

      The regression was introduced by the change
      c0820cf5 "dm: introduce per_bio_data", where dm started to replace
      bioset during table replacement.
      For bio-based dm, it is good because clone bios do not exist during the
      table replacement.
      For request-based dm, however, (not-yet-mapped) clone bios may stay in
      request queue and survive during the table replacement.
      So freeing the old bioset could cause the oops in bio_put().
      
      Since the size of front_pad may change only with bio-based dm,
      it is not necessary to replace bioset for request-based dm.

       - idr_remove_all() had been added by a memory leak fix, but has since
         become deprecated since idr_destroy() does it for us now.
      
       - xs_local_connect() had been added by this branch to make AF_LOCAL
         connections be synchronous, but in the meantime Trond had changed the
         calling convention in order to avoid a RCU dereference.
      
      There were a couple of more obvious actual source-level conflicts due to
      the hlist traversal changes and one just due to code changes next to
      each other, but those were trivial.

        the client to speak a newer version of the protocol and implement an
        improved hashing strategy across storage nodes (when the server side
        supports it too).
      
        A pair of patches from Sam Lang fix the atomicity of open+create
        operations.  Several patches from Yan, Zheng fix various mds/client
        issues that turned up during multi-mds torture tests.
      
        A final set of patches expose file layouts via virtual xattrs, and
        allow the policies to be set on directories via xattrs as well
        (avoiding the awkward ioctl interface and providing a consistent
        interface for both kernel mount and ceph-fuse users)."

      SUNRPC: make AF_LOCAL connect synchronous · dc107402
      J. Bruce Fields authored
      It doesn't appear that anyone actually needs to connect asynchronously.
      
      Also, using a workqueue for the connect means we lose the namespace
      information from the original process.  This is a problem since there's
      no way to explicitly pass in a filesystem namespace for resolution of an
      AF_LOCAL address.

      hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators · b67bfe0d
      Sasha Levin authored
      I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
      
              list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
      
      The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
      
              hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
      
      Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
      they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
      exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
      
      Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
      
       - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
       - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
       - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
       was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
       - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
       properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
      
      The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

      kcmp: make it depend on CHECKPOINT_RESTORE · 1e142b29
      Cyrill Gorcunov authored
      Since kcmp syscall has been implemented (initially on x86 architecture) a
      number of other archs wire it up as well: xtensa, sparc, sh, s390, mips,
      microblaze, m68k (not taking into account those who uses
      <asm-generic/unistd.h> for syscall numbers definitions).
      
      But the Makefile, which turns kcmp.o generation on still depends on former
      config-x86.  Thus get rid of this limitation and make kcmp.o depend on
      CHECKPOINT_RESTORE option.

      kfifo: fix kfifo_alloc() and kfifo_init() · dfe2a77f
      Stefani Seibold authored
      Fix kfifo_alloc() and kfifo_init() to alloc at least the requested number
      of elements.  Since the kfifo operates on power of 2 the request size will
      be rounded up to the next power of two.
