hh_lock was converted from rwlock to seqlock by Stephen. To have a 100% benefit of this change, I suggest to place read mostly fields of hh_cache in a separate cache line, because hh_refcnt may be changed quite frequently on some busy machines. Signed-off-by:

Back in 2.4 arp requests that were recevied by netpoll were processed in netconsole_receive_skb, where they were responded to using the src mac of the request sender. In the 2.6 kernel arp_reply is responsible for this function, but instead of using the src mac address of the incomming request, the stored mac address that was registered for the netconsole application is used. While this is usually ok, it can lead to failures in netpoll in some situations (specifically situations where a network may have two gateways, as arp requests from one may be responded to using the mac address of the other). This patch reverts the behavior to what we had in 2.4, in which all arp requests are sent back using the src address of the request sender. Signed-off-by:

Only the callsign but not the SSID part of an AX.25 address is ASCII based but Linux by initializes the SSID which should be just a 4-bit number from ASCII anyway. Fix that and convert the code to use a shared constant for both default addresses. While at it, use the same style for null_ax25_address also. Signed-off-by:

Jiri Kosina authored
This patch is a part of generic HID layer introduction. USB HID is disabled, so that the code split and changes could be introduced in a way that is reviewable (i.e. separate patches), but not to break git bisect by uncompilable kernel throughout different stages of the code splitup and changes. The last patch of this series enables HID again. Signed-off-by:

The complete_resync_work function only provides the ability to change an out-of-sync region to in-sync. This patch enhances the function to allow us to change the status from in-sync to out-of-sync as well, something that is needed when a mirror write to one of the devices or an initial resync on a given region fails.

Implement the pushback feature for the multipath target. The pushback request is used when: 1) there are no valid paths; 2) queue_if_no_path was set; 3) a suspend is being issued with the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag. Otherwise bios are returned to applications with -EIO. To check whether queue_if_no_path is specified or not, you need to check both queue_if_no_path and saved_queue_if_no_path, because presuspend saves the original queue_if_no_path value to saved_queue_if_no_path. The check for 1 already exists in both map_io() and do_end_io(). So this patch adds __must_push_back() to check 2 and 3. Test results: See the test results in the preceding patch.

In device-mapper I/O is sometimes queued within targets for later processing. For example the multipath target can be configured to store I/O when no paths are available instead of returning it -EIO. This patch allows the device-mapper core to instruct a target to transfer the contents of any such in-target queue back into the core. This frees up the resources used by the target so the core can replace that target with an alternative one and then resend the I/O to it. Without this patch the only way to change the target in such circumstances involves returning the I/O with an error back to the filesystem/application. In the multipath case, this patch will let us add new paths for existing I/O to try after all the existing paths have failed. DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING ---------------------- If the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is specified at suspend time, the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is set in md->flags during dm_suspend(). It is always cleared before dm_suspend() returns. The flag must be visible while the target is flushing pending I/Os so it is set before presuspend where the flush starts and unset after the wait for md->pending where the flush ends. Target drivers can check this flag by calling dm_noflush_suspending(). DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE / DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE ----------------------------------- A target's map() function can now return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to request the device mapper core queue the bio. Similarly, a target's end_io() function can return DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE to request the same. This has been labelled 'pushback'. The __map_bio() and clone_endio() functions in the core treat these return values as errors and call dec_pending() to end the I/O. dec_pending ----------- dec_pending() saves the pushback request in struct dm_io->error. Once all the split clones have ended, dec_pending() will put the original bio on the md->pushback list. Note that this supercedes any I/O errors. It is possible for the suspend with DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG to be aborted while in progress (e.g. by user interrupt). dec_pending() checks for this and returns -EIO if it happened. pushdback list and pushback_lock -------------------------------- The bio is queued on md->pushback temporarily in dec_pending(), and after all pending I/Os return, md->pushback is merged into md->deferred in dm_suspend() for re-issuing at resume time. md->pushback_lock protects md->pushback. The lock should be held with irq disabled because dec_pending() can be called from interrupt context. Queueing bios to md->pushback in dec_pending() must be done atomically with the check for DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag. So md->pushback_lock is held when checking the flag. Otherwise dec_pending() may queue a bio to md->pushback after the interrupted dm_suspend() flushes md->pushback. Then the bio would be left in md->pushback. Flag setting in dm_suspend() can be done without md->pushback_lock because the flag is checked only after presuspend and the set value is already made visible via the target's presuspend function. The flag can be checked without md->pushback_lock (e.g. the first part of the dec_pending() or target drivers), because the flag is checked again with md->pushback_lock held when the bio is really queued to md->pushback as described above. So even if the flag is cleared after the lockless checkings, the bio isn't left in md->pushback but returned to applications with -EIO. Other notes on the current patch -------------------------------- - md->pushback is added to the struct mapped_device instead of using md->deferred directly because md->io_lock which protects md->deferred is rw_semaphore and can't be used in interrupt context like dec_pending(), and md->io_lock protects the DMF_BLOCK_IO flag of md->flags too. - Don't issue lock_fs() in dm_suspend() if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is specified, because I/Os generated by lock_fs() would be pushed back and never return if there were no valid devices. - If an error occurs in dm_suspend() after the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is set, md->pushback must be flushed because I/Os may be queued to the list already. (flush_and_out label in dm_suspend()) Test results ------------ I have tested using multipath target with the next patch. The following tests are for regression/compatibility: - I/Os succeed when valid paths exist; - I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not set; - I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is set; - The queued I/Os above fail when suspend is issued without the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option. I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets also fail. The following tests are for the normal code path of new pushback feature: - Queued I/Os in the multipath target are flushed from the target but don't return when suspend is issued with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option; - The I/Os above are queued in the multipath target again when resume is issued without path recovery; - The I/Os above succeed when resume is issued after path recovery or table load; - Queued I/Os in the multipath target succeed when resume is issued with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option after table load. I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets also succeed. The following tests are for the error paths of the new pushback feature: - When the bdget_disk() fails in dm_suspend(), the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is cleared and I/Os already queued to the pushback list are flushed properly. - When suspend with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is interrupted, o I/Os which had already been queued to the pushback list at the time don't return, and are re-issued at resume time; o I/Os which hadn't been returned at the time return with EIO.

Tighten the use of return values from the target map and end_io functions. Values of 2 and above are now explictly reserved for future use. There are no existing targets using such values. The patch has no effect on existing behaviour. o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target map functions. Any positive value currently indicates "mapping complete", but all existing drivers use the value 1. We now make that a requirement so we can assign new meaning to higher values in future. The new definition of return values from target map functions is: < 0 : error = 0 : The target will handle the io (DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED). = 1 : Mapping completed (DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED). > 1 : Reserved (undefined). Previously this was the same as '= 1'. o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target end_io functions for similar reasons. DM_ENDIO_INCOMPLETE is introduced for a return value of 1. Test results: I have tested by using the multipath target. I/Os succeed when valid paths exist. I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is set. I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not set. Signed-off-by: -

Change the interface of dm_suspend() so that we can pass several options without increasing the number of parameters. The existing 'do_lockfs' integer parameter is replaced by a flag DM_SUSPEND_LOCKFS_FLAG. There is no functional change to the code.
