If a SCSI device is removed while the device is still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release. When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up dereferencing already freed bdi. Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated queue is very unusual and error-prone. Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are complete.

A dm-multipath user reported[1] a problem when trying to boot a kernel with commit 4853abaa (block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flags) applied. It turns out that an empty flush request can be sent into blk_insert_flush. When the BUG_ON was fixed to allow for this, I/O on the underlying device would stall. The reason is that blk_insert_cloned_request does not kick the queue. In the aforementioned commit, I had added a special case to kick the queue if data was sent down but the queue flags did not require a flush. A better solution is to push the queue kick up into blk_insert_cloned_request. This patch, along with a follow-on which fixes the BUG_ON, fixes the issue reported.

A user reported a regression due to commit 4853abaa (block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flags). Part of the problem is that blk_insert_flush required a single bio be attached to the request. In reality, having no attached bio is also a valid case, as can be observed with an empty flush.

bio originally has the functionality to set the complete cpu, but it is broken. Chirstoph said that "This code is unused, and from the all the discussions lately pretty obviously broken. The only thing keeping it serves is creating more confusion and possibly more bugs." And Jens replied with "We can kill bio_set_completion_cpu(). I'm fine with leaving cpu control to the request based drivers, they are the only ones that can toggle the setting anyway". So this patch tries to remove all the work of controling complete cpu from a bio.

init_emergency_pool() does not create the page pool for bouncing block requests if the current count of high pages is zero. If high memory may be added later (either via memory hotplug or a balloon driver in a virtualized system) then a oops occurs if a request with a high page need bouncing because the pool does not exist. So, always create the pool if memory hotplug is enabled and change the test so it's valid even if all high pages are currently in the balloon (the balloon drivers adjust totalhigh_pages but not max_pfn).

request_queue is refcounted but actually depdends on lifetime management from the queue owner - on blk_cleanup_queue(), block layer expects that there's no request passing through request_queue and no new one will. This is fundamentally broken. The queue owner (e.g. SCSI layer) doesn't have a way to know whether there are other active users before calling blk_cleanup_queue() and other users (e.g. bsg) don't have any guarantee that the queue is and would stay valid while it's holding a reference. With delay added in blk_queue_bio() before queue_lock is grabbed, the following oops can be easily triggered when a device is removed with in-flight IOs. sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Stopping disk ata1.01: disabled general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU 2 Modules linked in: Pid: 648, comm: test_rawio Not tainted 3.1.0-rc3-work+ #56 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8137d651>] [<ffffffff8137d651>] elv_rqhash_find+0x61/0x100 ...

Similar problem exists for blk-throtl. On queue cleanup, blk-throtl is shutdown whether it has requests in it or not. Depending on timing, it either oopses or throttled bios are lost putting tasks which are waiting for bio completion into eternal D state. The way it should work is having the usual clear distinction between shutdown and release. Shutdown drains all currently pending requests, marks the queue dead, and performs partial teardown of the now unnecessary part of the queue. Even after shutdown is complete, reference holders are still allowed to issue requests to the queue although they will be immmediately failed. The rest of teardown happens on release. This patch makes the following changes to make blk_queue_cleanup() behave as proper shutdown. * QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is now set while holding both q->exit_mutex and queue_lock. * Unsynchronized DEAD check in generic_make_request_checks() removed. This couldn't make any meaningful difference as the queue could die after the check. * blk_drain_queue() updated such that it can drain all requests and is now called during cleanup. * blk_throtl updated such that it checks DEAD on grabbing queue_lock, drains all throttled bios during cleanup and free td when queue is released.

attempt_plug_merge() accesses elevator without holding queue_lock and may call into ->elevator_bio_merge_fn(). The elvator is guaranteed to be valid because it's accessed iff the plugged list has requests and elevator is never exited with live requests, so as long as the elevator method can deal with unlocked access, this is safe. Explain the sync rules around attempt_plug_merge() and drop the unnecessary @tsk parameter. This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

Currently get_request[_wait]() allocates request whether queue is dead or not. This patch makes get_request[_wait]() return NULL if @q is dead. blk_queue_bio() is updated to fail the submitted bio if request allocation fails. While at it, add docbook comments for get_request[_wait](). Note that the current code has rather unclear (there are spurious DEAD tests scattered around) assumption that the owner of a queue guarantees that no request travels block layer if the queue is dead and this patch in itself doesn't change much; however, this will allow fixing the broken assumption in the next patch.

blk_throtl_bio() and throtl_get_tg() have rather unusual interface. * throtl_get_tg() returns pointer to a valid tg or ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), and drops queue_lock in the latter case. Different locking context depending on return value is error-prone and DEAD state is scheduled to be protected by queue_lock anyway. Move DEAD check inside queue_lock and return valid tg or NULL. * blk_throtl_bio() indicates return status both with its return value and in/out param **@bio. The former is used to indicate whether queue is found to be dead during throtl processing. The latter whether the bio is throttled. There's no point in returning DEAD check result from blk_throtl_bio(). The queue can die after blk_throtl_bio() is finished but before make_request_fn() grabs queue lock. Make it take *@bio instead and return boolean result indicating whether the request is throttled or not. This patch doesn't cause any visible functional difference.

blk_get/put_queue() in scsi_cmd_ioctl() and throtl_get_tg() are completely bogus. The caller must have a reference to the queue on entry and taking an extra reference doesn't change anything. For scsi_cmd_ioctl(), the only effect is that it ends up checking QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD on entry; however, this is bogus as queue can die right after blk_get_queue(). Dead queue should be and is handled in request issue path (it's somewhat broken now but that's a separate problem and doesn't affect this one much). throtl_get_tg() incorrectly assumes that q is rcu freed. Also, it doesn't check return value of blk_get_queue(). If the queue is already dead, it ends up doing an extra put. Drop them.

The size is always valid, but variable-length arrays generate worse code for no good reason (unless the function happens to be inlined and the compiler sees the length for the simple constant it is). Also, there seems to be some code generation problem on POWER, where Henrik Bakken reports that register r28 can get corrupted under some subtle circumstances (interrupt happening at the wrong time?). That all indicates some seriously broken compiler issues, but since variable length arrays are bad regardless, there's little point in trying to chase it down. "Just don't do that, then".

Currently the loop device tries to call directly into write_begin/write_end instead of going through ->write if it can. This is a fairly nasty shortcut as write_begin and write_end are only callbacks for the generic write code and expect to be called with filesystem specific locks held. This code currently causes various issues for clustered filesystems as it doesn't take the required cluster locks, and it also causes issues for XFS as it doesn't properly lock against the swapext ioctl as called by the defragmentation tools. This in case causes data corruption if defragmentation hits a busy loop device in the wrong time window, as reported by RH QA. The reason why we have this shortcut is that it saves a data copy when doing a transformation on the loop device, which is the technical term for using cryptoloop (or an XOR transformation). Given that cryptoloop has been deprecated in favour of dm-crypt my opinion is that we should simply drop this shortcut instead of finding complicated ways to to introduce a formal interface for this shortcut.

The w83627ehf driver is improperly reporting thermal diode sensors as type 2, instead of 3. This caused "sensors" and possibly other monitoring tools to report these sensors as "transistor" instead of "thermal diode". Furthermore, diode subtype selection (CPU vs. external) is only supported by the original W83627EHF/EHG. All later models only support CPU diode type, and some (NCT6776F) don't even have the register in question so we should avoid reading from it.

Currently we have a few issues with the way the workqueue code is used to implement AIL pushing: - it accidentally uses the same workqueue as the syncer action, and thus can be prevented from running if there are enough sync actions active in the system. - it doesn't use the HIGHPRI flag to queue at the head of the queue of work items At this point I'm not confident enough in getting all the workqueue flags and tweaks right to provide a perfectly reliable execution context for AIL pushing, which is the most important piece in XFS to make forward progress when the log fills. Revert back to use a kthread per filesystem which fixes all the above issues at the cost of having a task struct and stack around for each mounted filesystem. In addition this also gives us much better ways to diagnose any issues involving hung AIL pushing and removes a small amount of code.
