This patch replaces the code for getting an unsigned long from a userspace buffer by a simple call to kstroul_from_user. This makes it easier to read and less error prone. Signed-off-by: Peter Huewe <peterhuewe@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

This is the same as fd8a7de1 "x86: cpu-hotplug: Prevent softirq wakeup on wrong CPU". Unlike on x86 this doesn't fix a bug on s390 since we do not have threaded interrupt handlers. However we want to keep the same initialization order like on x86. This should prevent bugs caused by code which assumes (and relies on) the init order is the same on each architecture.

To use raw track access some special storage server commands are needed. Older storage hardware may not support these commands. So check if raw track access is possible while setting the DASD online.

For kdump we need a store status function to save the registers for the current CPU. Therefore this patch exports a function "store_status()". In addition to that now also floating point registers are saved correctly. Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

The size of the buffer that is used to store DASD statistics input strings depends on the user input. If the input string is to large, the write operation could fail with -ENOMEM.

With this patch a new S390 shutdown trigger "restart" is added. If under z/VM "systerm restart" is entered or under the HMC the "PSW restart" button is pressed, the PSW located at 0 (31 bit) or 0x1a0 (64 bit) bit is loaded. Now we execute do_restart() that processes the restart action that is defined under /sys/firmware/shutdown_actions/on_restart. Currently the following actions are possible: reipl (default), stop, vmcmd, dump, and dump_reipl.

The SIGA-W may return with the busy bit set which means the device was blocked. The busy loop which retries the SIGA-W for 100us may not be long enough when running under a heavily loaded hypervisor. Extend the retry mechanism by adding a longer second stage which retries the SIGA-W for up to 10s. In difference to the first retry loop the second stage is using mdelay to stop the cpu between the retries and thereby avoid additional preassure in on the hypervisor. If the second stage retry is successfull a device reset is avoided. Signed-off-by: Jan Glauber <jang@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

If a patch is working with an of_match_table it's probably adding an OF binding to a driver in which case the binding ought to be reviewed by the device tree folks to make sure that things like the device matches are set up correctly.

DM has always advertised both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA flush capabilities regardless of whether or not a given DM device's underlying devices also advertised a need for them. Block's flush-merge changes from 2.6.39 have proven to be more costly for DM devices. Performance regressions have been reported even when DM's underlying devices do not advertise that they have a write cache. Fix the performance regressions by configuring a DM device's flushing capabilities based on those of the underlying devices' capabilities.

Add optional parameter field to dmcrypt table and support "allow_discards" option. Discard requests bypass crypt queue processing. Bio is simple remapped to underlying device. Note that discard will be never enabled by default because of security consequences. It is up to the administrator to enable it for encrypted devices. (Note that userspace cryptsetup does not understand new optional parameters yet. Support for this will come later. Until then, you should use 'dmsetup' to enable and disable this.)

Jonathan Brassow authored
Add the ability to parse and use metadata devices to dm-raid. Although not strictly required, without the metadata devices, many features of RAID are unavailable. They are used to store a superblock and bitmap. The role, or position in the array, of each device must be recorded in its superblock. This is to help with fault handling, array reshaping, and sanity checks. RAID 4/5/6 devices must be loaded in a specific order: in this way, the 'array_position' field helps validate the correctness of the mapping when it is loaded. It can be used during reshaping to identify which devices are added/removed. Fault handling is impossible without this field. For example, when a device fails it is recorded in the superblock. If this is a RAID1 device and the offending device is removed from the array, there must be a way during subsequent array assembly to determine that the failed device was the one removed. This is done by correlating the 'array_position' field and the bit-field variable 'failed_devices'.

Exactly one of name, uuid or device must be specified when referencing an existing device.

Move parameter filling from find_device to __find_device_hash_cell.

If we write a full chunk in the snapshot, skip reading the origin device because the whole chunk will be overwritten anyway. This patch changes the snapshot write logic when a full chunk is written. In this case: 1. allocate the exception 2. dispatch the bio (but don't report the bio completion to device mapper) 3. write the exception record 4. report bio completed Callbacks must be done through the kcopyd thread, because callbacks must not race with each other. So we create two new functions: dm_kcopyd_prepare_callback: allocate a job structure and prepare the callback. (This function must not be called from interrupt context.) dm_kcopyd_do_callback: submit callback. (This function may be called from interrupt context.) Performance test (on snapshots with 4k chunk size): without the patch: non-direct-io sequential write (dd): 17.7MB/s direct-io sequential write (dd): 20.9MB/s non-direct-io random write (mkfs.ext2): 0.44s with the patch: non-direct-io sequential write (dd): 26.5MB/s direct-io sequential write (dd): 33.2MB/s non-direct-io random write (mkfs.ext2): 0.27s Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>

Add a new flag DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL to struct mapped_device to indicate whether the device can accept bios larger than the size its merge function returns. When set, use this to send large bios to snapshots which can split them if necessary. Snapshot I/O may be significantly fragmented and this approach seems to improve peformance. Before the patch, dm_set_device_limits restricted bio size to page size if the underlying device had a merge function and the target didn't provide a merge function. After the patch, dm_set_device_limits restricts bio size to page size if the underlying device has a merge function, doesn't have DMF_MERGE_IS_OPTIONAL flag and the target doesn't provide a merge function. The snapshot target can't provide a merge function because when the merge function is called, it is impossible to determine where the bio will be remapped. Previously this led us to impose a 4k limit, which we can now remove if the snapshot store is located on a device without a merge function. Together with another patch for optimizing full chunk writes, it improves performance from 29MB/s to 40MB/s when writing to the filesystem on snapshot store. If the snapshot store is placed on a non-dm device with a merge function (such as md-raid), device mapper still limits all bios to page size.
