Currently if some one try to advance bvec beyond it's size we simply dump WARN_ONCE and continue to iterate beyond bvec array boundaries. This simply means that we endup dereferencing/corrupting random memory region. Sane reaction would be to propagate error back to calling context But bvec_iter_advance's calling context is not always good for error handling. For safity reason let truncate iterator size to zero which will break external iteration loop which prevent us from unpredictable memory range corruption. And even it caller ignores an error, it will corrupt it's own bvecs, not others. This patch does: - Return error back to caller with hope that it will react on this - Truncate iterator size Code was added long time ago here 4550dd6c, luckily no one hit it in real life :) Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Reviewed-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Martin K.

Currently all integrity prep hooks are open-coded, and if prepare fails we ignore it's code and fail bio with EIO. Let's return real error to upper layer, so later caller may react accordingly. In fact no one want to use bio_integrity_prep() w/o bio_integrity_enabled, so it is reasonable to fold it in to one function.

bio_integrity_trim inherent it's interface from bio_trim and accept offset and size, but this API is error prone because data offset must always be insync with bio's data offset. That is why we have integrity update hook in bio_advance() So only meaningful values are: offset == 0, sectors == bio_sectors(bio) Let's just remove them completely.

Ming Lei authored
When mq-deadline is taken, IOPS of sequential read and seqential write is observed more than 20% drop on sata(scsi-mq) devices, compared with using 'none' scheduler. The reason is that the default nr_requests for scheduler is too big for small queuedepth devices, and latency is increased much. Since the principle of taking 256 requests for mq scheduler is based on 128 queue depth, this patch changes into double size of min(hw queue_depth, 128).

On each deactivation or re-scheduling (after being served) of a bfq_queue, BFQ invokes the function __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio(), to perform pending updates of ioprio, weight and ioprio class for the bfq_queue. BFQ also invokes this function on I/O-request dispatches, to raise or lower weights more quickly when needed, thereby improving latency. However, the entity representing the bfq_queue may be on the active (sub)tree of a service tree when this happens, and, although with a very low probability, the bfq_queue may happen to also have a pending change of its ioprio class. If both conditions hold when __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() is invoked, then the entity moves to a sort of hybrid state: the new service tree for the entity, as returned by bfq_entity_service_tree(), differs from service tree on which the entity still is. The functions that handle activations and deactivations of entities do not cope with such a hybrid state (and would need to become more complex to cope). This commit addresses this issue by just making __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() not perform also a possible pending change of ioprio class, when invoked on an I/O-request dispatch for a bfq_queue. Such a change is thus postponed to when __bfq_entity_update_weight_prio() is invoked on deactivation or re-scheduling of the bfq_queue.

Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some core cleanups. Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph already sent out. This pull request contains: - A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using different schemes for different places. - Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO scheduler interactions in blk-mq. - And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle and do bounce buffering in the block layer. - A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO hangs or stalls. - Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization differences across types of devices. - A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking. - Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to that of the underlying device. - Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with lightnvm, particular around pblk. - A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write amplification. - A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues. - Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew. - A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set support.

Pull MIPS fixes from Ralf Baechle: "Here's a final round of fixes for 4.12: - Fix misordered instructions in assembly code making kenel startup via UHB unreliable. - Fix special case of MADDF and MADDF emulation. - Fix alignment issue in address calculation in pm-cps on 64 bit. - Fix IRQ tracing & lockdep when rescheduling - Systems with MAARs require post-DMA cache flushes. The reordering fix and the MADDF/MSUBF fix have sat in linux-next for a number of days. The others haven't propagated from my pull tree to linux-next yet but all have survived manual testing and Imagination's automated test system and there are no pending bug reports" * 'upstream' of git://git.linux-mips.org/pub/scm/ralf/upstream-linus: MIPS: Avoid accidental raw backtrace MIPS: Perform post-DMA cache flushes on systems with MAARs MIPS: Fix IRQ tracing & lockdep when rescheduling MIPS: pm-cps: Drop manual cache-line alignment of ready_count MIPS: math-emu: Handle zero accumulator case in MADDF and MSUBF separately MIPS: head: Reorder instructions missing a delay slot

CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL=y (correctly) does not provide a refcount_sub(), which should not be part of proper refcount design patterns.

Pull pinctrl fix from Linus Walleij: "Brian noticed that this regression has not got a proper fix for the entire merge window and consequently we need to revert the offending commit. It's part of the RT-mainstream work, the dance goes like this, two steps forward, one step back. Summary: - A last fix for v4.12, an IRQ problem reported early in the merge window appears not to have been properly fixed, so the offending commit will be reverted and we will find the proper fix for v4.13.

uapi/linux/a.out.h uses a number of predefined macros that are deprecated because they're in the application namespace (e.g. '#ifdef linux' instead of '#ifdef __linux__'). This patch either corrects or just removes them if they are not applicable to Linux. The primary reason this is worth bothering to fix, considering how obsolete a.out binary support is, is that the GCC build process considers this such a severe error that it will copy the header into a private directory and change the macro names, which causes future updates to the header to be masked. This header probably doesn't get updated very often anymore, but it is the _only_ uapi header that gets this treatment, so IMHO it is worth patching just to drive that number all the way to zero.
