      block: don't kick empty queue in blk_drain_queue() · 4eabc941
      Tejun Heo authored 
      While probing, fd sets up queue, probes hardware and tears down the
queue if probing fails.  In the process, blk_drain_queue() kicks the
queue which failed to finish initialization and fd is unhappy about
that.

Avoid it by making blk_drain_queue() kick queue iff dispatch queue has
something on it.

      block/swim3: Locking fixes · b3025457
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored 
      The old PowerMac swim3 driver has some "interesting" locking issues,
using a private lock and failing to lock the queue before completing
requests, which triggered WARN_ONs among others.

This rips out the private lock, makes everything operate under the
block queue lock, and generally makes things simpler.

We used to also share a queue between the two possible instances which
was problematic since we might pick the wrong controller in some cases,
so make the queue and the current request per-instance and use
queuedata to point to our private data which is a lot cleaner.

We still share the queue lock but then, it's nearly impossible to actually
use 2 swim3's simultaneously: one would need to have a Wallstreet
PowerBook, the only machine afaik with two of these on the motherboard,
and populate both hotswap bays with a floppy drive (the machine ships
only with one), so nobody cares...

While at it, add a little fix to clear up stale interrupts when loading
the driver or plugging a floppy drive in a bay.

      loop: Fix discard_alignment default setting · dfaf3c03
      Lukas Czerner authored 
      discard_alignment is not relevant to the loop driver since it is
supposed to be set as a workaround for the old sector 63 alignments.
So set it to zero rather than block size.

      cfq-iosched: fix cfq_cic_link() race confition · 5eb46851
      Yasuaki Ishimatsu authored 
      cfq_cic_link() has race condition. When some processes which shared ioc
issue I/O to same block device simultaneously, cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST
sometimes. The race condition might stop I/O by following steps:

step  1: Process A: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda
step  2: Process A: Get an ioc (iocA here) in get_io_context() which does not
		    linked with a cic for the device
step  3: Process A: Get a new cic for the device (cicA here) in
		    cfq_alloc_io_context()

step  4: Process B: Issue an I/O to /dev/sda
step  5: Process B: Get iocA in get_io_context() since process A and B share the
		    same ioc
step  6: Process B: Get a new cic for the device (cicB here) in
		    cfq_alloc_io_context() since iocA has not been linked with a
		    cic for the device yet

step  7: Process A: Link cicA to iocA in cfq_cic_link()
step  8: Process A: Dispatch I/O to driver and finish it

step  9: Process B: Try to link cicB to iocA in cfq_cic_link()
		    But it fails with showing "cfq: cic link failed!" kernel
		    message, since iocA has already linked with cicA at step 7.
step 10: Process B: Wait for finishig I/O in get_request_wait()
		    The function does not wake up, when there is no I/O to the
		    device.

When cfq_cic_link() returns -EEXIST, it means ioc has already linked with cic.
So when cfq_cic_link() return -EEXIST, retry cfq_cic_lookup().

      block: initialize request_queue's numa node during · 5151412d
      Mike Snitzer authored 
      struct request_queue is allocated with __GFP_ZERO so its "node" field is
zero before initialization.  This causes an oops if node 0 is offline in
the page allocator because its zonelists are not initialized.  From Dave
Young's dmesg:

	SRAT: Node 1 PXM 2 0-d0000000
	SRAT: Node 1 PXM 2 100000000-330000000
	SRAT: Node 0 PXM 1 330000000-630000000
	Initmem setup node 1 0000000000000000-000000000affb000
	...
	Built 1 zonelists in Node order, mobility grouping on.
	...
	BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 0000000000001c08
	IP: [<ffffffff8111c355>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xb5/0x870

and __alloc_pages_nodemask+0xb5 translates to a NULL pointer on
zonelist->_zonerefs.

The fix is to initialize q->node at the time of allocation so the correct
node is passed to the slab allocator later.

Since blk_init_allocated_queue_node() is no longer needed, merge it with
blk_init_allocated_queue().

      Btrfs: sectorsize align offsets in fiemap · 4d479cf0
      Josef Bacik authored 
      We've been hitting BUG()'s in btrfs_cont_expand and btrfs_fallocate and anywhere
else that calls btrfs_get_extent while running xfstests 13 in a loop.  This is
because fiemap is calling btrfs_get_extent with non-sectorsize aligned offsets,
which will end up adding mappings that are not sectorsize aligned, which will
cause problems in some cases for subsequent calls to btrfs_get_extent for
similar areas that are sectorsize aligned.  With this patch I ran xfstests 13 in
a loop for a couple of hours and didn't hit the problem that I could previously
hit in at most 20 minutes.  Thanks,

      Btrfs: wait on caching if we're loading the free space cache · 291c7d2f
      Josef Bacik authored 
      We've been hitting panics when running xfstest 13 in a loop for long periods of
time.  And actually this problem has always existed so we've been hitting these
things randomly for a while.  Basically what happens is we get a thread coming
into the allocator and reading the space cache off of disk and adding the
entries to the free space cache as we go.  Then we get another thread that comes
in and tries to allocate from that block group.  Since block_group->cached !=
BTRFS_CACHE_NO it goes ahead and tries to do the allocation.  We do this because
if we're doing the old slow way of caching we don't want to hold people up and
wait for everything to finish.  The problem with this is we could end up
discarding the space cache at some arbitrary point in the future, which means we
could very well end up allocating space that is either bad, or when the real
caching happens it could end up thinking the space isn't in use when it really
is and cause all sorts of other problems.

The solution is to add a new flag to indicate we are loading the free space
cache from disk, and always try to cache the block group if cache->cached !=
BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED.  That way if we are loading the space cache anybody else
who tries to allocate from the block group will have to wait until it's finished
to make sure it completes successfully.  Thanks,
