Since we are now, by default, applying timer slack to expiry times, the logic for when to modify a timer in the block code is suboptimal. The block layer keeps a forward rolling timer per queue for all requests, and modifies this timer if a request has a shorter timeout than what the current expiry time is. However, this breaks down when our rounded timer values get applied slack. Then each new request ends up modifying the timer, since we're still a little in front of the timer + slack. Fix this by allowing a tolerance of HZ / 2, the timeout handling doesn't need to be very precise. This drastically cuts down the number of timer modifications we have to make.

This allows to requeue a request that has been accepted by ->queue_rq earlier. This is needed by the SCSI layer in various error conditions. The existing internal blk_mq_requeue_request is renamed to __blk_mq_requeue_request as it is a lower level building block for this funtionality.

Split out the bottom half of blk_mq_end_io so that drivers can perform work when they know a request has been completed, but before it has been freed.

The current blk_mq_init_commands/blk_mq_free_commands interface has a two problems: 1) Because only the constructor is passed to blk_mq_init_commands there is no easy way to clean up when a comman initialization failed. The current code simply leaks the allocations done in the constructor. 2) There is no good place to call blk_mq_free_commands: before blk_cleanup_queue there is no guarantee that all outstanding commands have completed, so we can't free them yet. After blk_cleanup_queue the queue has usually been freed. This can be worked around by grabbing an unconditional reference before calling blk_cleanup_queue and dropping it after blk_mq_free_commands is done, although that's not exatly pretty and driver writers are guaranteed to get it wrong sooner or later. Both issues are easily fixed by making the request constructor and destructor normal blk_mq_ops methods. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

Drivers shouldn't have to care about the block layer setting aside a request to implement the flush state machine. We already override the mq context and tag to make it more transparent, but so far haven't deal with the driver private data in the request. Make sure to override this as well, and while we're at it add a proper helper sitting in blk-mq.c that implements the full impersonation.

Drivers can reach their private data easily using the blk_mq_rq_to_pdu helper and don't need req->special.

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago, most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't pointing at anything valid. Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data(). For the discard payload use case, just reference the page in the bio. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

This patch fixes I/O errors with the sym53c8xx_2 driver when the disk returns QUEUE FULL status. When the controller encounters an error (including QUEUE FULL or BUSY status), it aborts all not yet submitted requests in the function sym_dequeue_from_squeue. This function aborts them with DID_SOFT_ERROR. If the disk has full tag queue, the request that caused the overflow is aborted with QUEUE FULL status (and the scsi midlayer properly retries it until it is accepted by the disk), but the sym53c8xx_2 driver aborts the following requests with DID_SOFT_ERROR --- for them, the midlayer does just a few retries and then signals the error up to sd. The result is that disk returning QUEUE FULL causes request failures. The error was reproduced on 53c895 with COMPAQ BD03685A24 disk (rebranded ST336607LC) with command queue 48 or 64 tags. The disk has 64 tags, but under some access patterns it return QUEUE FULL when there are less than 64 pending tags. The SCSI specification allows returning QUEUE FULL anytime and it is up to the host to retry.

Commit 8f619b54 ("powerpc/ppc64: Do not turn AIL (reloc-on interrupts) too early") added code to set the AIL bit in the LPCR without checking whether the kernel is running in hypervisor mode. The result is that when the kernel is running as a guest (i.e., under PowerKVM or PowerVM), the processor takes a privileged instruction interrupt at that point, causing a panic. The visible result is that the kernel hangs after printing "returning from prom_init". This fixes it by checking for hypervisor mode being available before setting LPCR. If we are not in hypervisor mode, we enable relocation-on interrupts later in pSeries_setup_arch using the H_SET_MODE hcall.

Commits 11d4616b ("futex: revert back to the explicit waiter counting code") and 69cd9eba ("futex: avoid race between requeue and wake") changed some of the finer details of how we think about futexes. One was a late fix and the other a consequence of overlooking the whole requeuing logic. The first change caused our documentation to be incorrect, and the second made us aware that we need to explicitly add more details to it.

Pull yet more networking updates from David Miller: 1) Various fixes to the new Redpine Signals wireless driver, from Fariya Fatima. 2) L2TP PPP connect code takes PMTU from the wrong socket, fix from Dmitry Petukhov. 3) UFO and TSO packets differ in whether they include the protocol header in gso_size, account for that in skb_gso_transport_seglen(). From Florian Westphal. 4) If VLAN untagging fails, we double free the SKB in the bridging output path. From Toshiaki Makita. 5) Several call sites of sk->sk_data_ready() were referencing an SKB just added to the socket receive queue in order to calculate the second argument via skb->len. This is dangerous because the moment the skb is added to the receive queue it can be consumed in another context and freed up. It turns out also that none of the sk->sk_data_ready() implementations even care about this second argument. So just kill it off and thus fix all these use-after-free bugs as a side effect. 6) Fix inverted test in tcp_v6_send_response(), from Lorenzo Colitti. 7) pktgen needs to do locking properly for LLTX devices, from Daniel Borkmann. 8) xen-netfront driver initializes TX array entries in RX loop :-) From Vincenzo Maffione. 9) After refactoring, some tunnel drivers allow a tunnel to be configured on top itself.
