      block: loop: fix another reread part failure · 06f0e9e6
      Ming Lei authored
      loop_clr_fd() can be run piggyback with lo_release(), and
      under this situation, reread partition may always fail because
      bd_mutex has been held already.
      
      This patch detects the situation by the reference count, and
      call __blkdev_reread_part() to avoid acquiring the lock again.
      
      In the meantime, this patch switches to new kernel APIs
      of blkdev_reread_part() and __blkdev_reread_part().

      block: loop: don't hold lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open · f8933667
      Ming Lei authored
      The lo_ctl_mutex is held for running all ioctl handlers, and
      in some ioctl handlers, ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART) is called for
      rereading partitions, which requires bd_mutex.
      
      So it is easy to cause failure because trylock(bd_mutex) may
      fail inside blkdev_reread_part(), and follows the lock context:
      
      blkid or other application:
      	->open()
      		->mutex_lock(bd_mutex)
      		->lo_open()
      			->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex)
      
      losetup(set fd ioctl):
      	->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex)
      	->ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART)
      		->trylock(bd_mutex)
      
      This patch trys to eliminate the ABBA lock dependency by removing
      lo_ctl_mutext in lo_open() with the following approach:
      
      1) make lo_refcnt as atomic_t and avoid acquiring lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open():
      	- for open vs. add/del loop, no any problem because of loop_index_mutex
      	- freeze request queue during clr_fd, so I/O can't come until
      	  clearing fd is completed, like the effect of holding lo_ctl_mutex
      	  in lo_open
      	- both open() and release() have been serialized by bd_mutex already
      
      2) don't hold lo_ctl_mutex for decreasing/checking lo_refcnt in
      lo_release(), then lo_ctl_mutex is only required for the last release.

      block: replace trylock with mutex_lock in blkdev_reread_part() · b04a5636
      Ming Lei authored
      The only possible problem of using mutex_lock() instead of trylock
      is about deadlock.
      
      If there aren't any locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(),
      deadlock can't be caused by this conversion.
      
      If there are locks held before calling blkdev_reread_part(),
      and if these locks arn't required in open, close handler and I/O
      path, deadlock shouldn't be caused too.
      
      Both user space's ioctl(BLKRRPART) and md_setup_drive() from
      init/do_mounts_md.c belongs to the 1st case, so the conversion is safe
      for the two cases.
      
      For loop, the previous patches in this pathset has fixed the ABBA lock
      dependency, so the conversion is OK.
      
      For nbd, tx_lock is held when calling the function:
      
      	- both open and release won't hold the lock
      	- when blkdev_reread_part() is run, I/O thread has been stopped
      	already, so tx_lock won't be acquired in I/O path at that time.
      	- so the conversion won't cause deadlock for nbd
      
      For dasd, both dasd_open(), dasd_release() and request function don't
      acquire any mutex/semphone, so the conversion should be safe.

      block: export blkdev_reread_part() and __blkdev_reread_part() · be324177
      Jarod Wilson authored
      This patch exports blkdev_reread_part() for block drivers, also
      introduce __blkdev_reread_part().
      
      For some drivers, such as loop, reread of partitions can be run
      from the release path, and bd_mutex may already be held prior to
      calling ioctl_by_bdev(bdev, BLKRRPART, 0), so introduce
      __blkdev_reread_part for use in such cases.

      blk-mq: make plug work for mutiple disks and queues · 5b3f341f
      Shaohua Li authored
      Last patch makes plug work for multiple queue case. However it only
      works for single disk case, because it assumes only one request in the
      plug list. If a task is accessing multiple disks, eg MD/DM, the
      assumption is wrong. Let blk_attempt_plug_merge() record request from
      the same queue.
      
      V2: use NULL parameter in !mq case. Fix a bug. Add comments in
      blk_attempt_plug_merge to make it less (hopefully) confusion.

      blk-mq: do limited block plug for multiple queue case · f984df1f
      Shaohua Li authored
      plug is still helpful for workload with IO merge, but it can be harmful
      otherwise especially with multiple hardware queues, as there is
      (supposed) no lock contention in this case and plug can introduce
      latency. For multiple queues, we do limited plug, eg plug only if there
      is request merge. If a request doesn't have merge with following
      request, the requet will be dispatched immediately.
      
      V2: check blk_queue_nomerges() as suggested by Jeff.

      Shaohua Li authored
      If we directly issue a request and it fails, we use
      blk_mq_merge_queue_io(). But we already assigned bio to a request in
      blk_mq_bio_to_request. blk_mq_merge_queue_io shouldn't run
      blk_mq_bio_to_request again.

      blk-mq: fix plugging in blk_sq_make_request · e6c4438b
      Jeff Moyer authored
      The following appears in blk_sq_make_request:
      
      	/*
      	 * If we have multiple hardware queues, just go directly to
      	 * one of those for sync IO.
      	 */
      
      We clearly don't have multiple hardware queues, here!  This comment was
      introduced with this commit 07068d5b (blk-mq: split make request
      handler for multi and single queue):
      
          We want slightly different behavior from them:
      
          - On single queue devices, we currently use the per-process plug
            for deferred IO and for merging.
      
          - On multi queue devices, we don't use the per-process plug, but
            we want to go straight to hardware for SYNC IO.
      
      The old code had this:
      
              use_plug = !is_flush_fua && ((q->nr_hw_queues == 1) || !is_sync);
      
      and that was converted to:
      
      	use_plug = !is_flush_fua && !is_sync;
      
      which is not equivalent.  For the single queue case, that second half of
      the && expression is always true.  So, what I think was actually inteded
      follows (and this more closely matches what is done in blk_queue_bio).
      
      V2: delete the 'likely', which should not be a big deal

      sched: always use blk_schedule_flush_plug in io_schedule_out · 5596d0d5
      Shaohua Li authored
      block plug callback could sleep, so we introduce a parameter
      'from_schedule' and corresponding drivers can use it to destinguish a
      schedule plug flush or a plug finish. Unfortunately io_schedule_out
      still uses blk_flush_plug(). This causes below output (Note, I added a
      might_sleep() in raid1_unplug to make it trigger faster, but the whole
      thing doesn't matter if I add might_sleep). In raid1/10, this can cause
      deadlock.
      
      This patch makes io_schedule_out always uses blk_schedule_flush_plug.
      This should only impact drivers (as far as I know, raid 1/10) which are
      sensitive to the 'from_schedule' parameter.

      blk: clean up plug · dd6cf3e1
      Shaohua Li authored
      Current code looks like inner plug gets flushed with a
      blk_finish_plug(). Actually it's a nop. All requests/callbacks are added
      to current->plug, while only outmost plug is assigned to current->plug.
      So inner plug always has empty request/callback list, which makes
      blk_flush_plug_list() a nop. This tries to make the code more clear.

      lib: make memzero_explicit more robust against dead store elimination · 7829fb09
      Daniel Borkmann authored
      In commit 0b053c95 ("lib: memzero_explicit: use barrier instead
      of OPTIMIZER_HIDE_VAR"), we made memzero_explicit() more robust in
      case LTO would decide to inline memzero_explicit() and eventually
      find out it could be elimiated as dead store.
      
      While using barrier() works well for the case of gcc, recent efforts
      from LLVMLinux people suggest to use llvm as an alternative to gcc,
      and there, Stephan found in a simple stand-alone user space example
      that llvm could nevertheless optimize and thus elimitate the memset().
      A similar issue has been observed in the referenced llvm bug report,
      which is regarded as not-a-bug.
      
      Based on some experiments, icc is a bit special on its own, while it
      doesn't seem to eliminate the memset(), it could do so with an own
      implementation, and then result in similar findings as with llvm.
      
      The fix in this patch now works for all three compilers (also tested
      with more aggressive optimization levels). Arguably, in the current
      kernel tree it's more of a theoretical issue, but imho, it's better
      to be pedantic about it.
      
      It's clearly visible with gcc/llvm though, with the below code: if we
      would have used barrier() only here, llvm would have omitted clearing,
      not so with barrier_data() variant:
      
        static inline void memzero_explicit(void *s, size_t count)
        {
          memset(s, 0, count);
          barrier_data(s);
        }
      
        int main(void)
        {
          char buff[20];
          memzero_explicit(buff, sizeof(buff));
          return 0;
        }
      
        $ gcc -O2 test.c
        $ gdb a.out
        (gdb) disassemble main

        End of assembler dump.
      
        $ clang -O2 test.c
        $ gdb a.out
        (gdb) disassemble main

         0x0000000000400507 <+23>: retq
        End of assembler dump.
      
      As gcc, clang, but also icc defines __GNUC__, it's sufficient to define
      this in compiler-gcc.h only to be picked up. For a fallback or otherwise
      unsupported compiler, we define it as a barrier. Similarly, for ecc which
      does not support gcc inline asm.
