      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).

      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;
  }

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.
