This patch fixes a bug where a handful of informational / control CDBs that should be allowed during ALUA access state Standby/Offline/Transition where incorrectly returning CHECK_CONDITION + ASCQ_04H_ALUA_TG_PT_*. This includes INQUIRY + REPORT_LUNS, which would end up preventing LUN registration when LUN scanning occured during these ALUA access states.

This patch fixes guest hang when booting seabios and guest. [ 0.576238] scsi0 : Virtio SCSI HBA [ 0.616754] virtio_scsi virtio1: request:id 0 is not a head! vq->last_used_idx is initialized only when /dev/vhost-scsi is opened or closed. vhost_scsi_open -> vhost_dev_init() -> vhost_vq_reset() vhost_scsi_release() -> vhost_dev_cleanup -> vhost_vq_reset() So, when guest talks to tcm_vhost after seabios does, vq->last_used_idx still contains the old valule for seabios. This confuses guest. Fix this by calling vhost_init_used() to init vq->last_used_idx when we set endpoint. Signed-off-by: Asias He <asias@redhat.com> Acked-by: Michael S.

Currently, vs->vs_endpoint is used indicate if the endpoint is setup or not. It is set or cleared in vhost_scsi_set_endpoint() or vhost_scsi_clear_endpoint() under the vs->dev.mutex lock. However, when we check it in vhost_scsi_handle_vq(), we ignored the lock. Instead of using the vs->vs_endpoint and the vs->dev.mutex lock to indicate the status of the endpoint, we use per virtqueue vq->private_data to indicate it. In this way, we can only take the vq->mutex lock which is per queue and make the concurrent multiqueue process having less lock contention. Further, in the read side of vq->private_data, we can even do not take the lock if it is accessed in the vhost worker thread, because it is protected by "vhost rcu".

This patch fixes a regression introduced in v3.8-rc1 code where a failed target_check_reservation() check in target_setup_cmd_from_cdb() was causing an incorrect SAM_STAT_GOOD status to be returned during a WRITE operation performed by an unregistered / unreserved iscsi initiator port. This regression is only effecting iscsi-target due to a special case check for TCM_RESERVATION_CONFLICT within iscsi_target_erl1.c:iscsit_execute_cmd(), and was still correctly disallowing WRITE commands from backend submission for unregistered / unreserved initiator ports, while returning the incorrect SAM_STAT_GOOD status due to the missing SAM_STAT_RESERVATION_CONFLICT assignment. This regression was first introduced with: commit de103c93 Author: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Date: Tue Nov 6 12:24:09 2012 -0800 target: pass sense_reason as a return value Go ahead and re-add the missing SAM_STAT_RESERVATION_CONFLICT assignment during a target_check_reservation() failure, so that iscsi-target code sends the correct SCSI status. All other fabrics using target_submit_cmd_*() with a RESERVATION_CONFLICT call to transport_generic_request_failure() are not effected by this bug.

Commit 1d9d8639 ("perf,x86: fix kernel crash with PEBS/BTS after suspend/resume") fixed a crash when doing PEBS performance profiling after resuming, but in using init_debug_store_on_cpu() to restore the DS_AREA mtrr it also resulted in a new WARN_ON() triggering. init_debug_store_on_cpu() uses "wrmsr_on_cpu()", which in turn uses CPU cross-calls to do the MSR update. Which is not really valid at the early resume stage, and the warning is quite reasonable. Now, it all happens to _work_, for the simple reason that smp_call_function_single() ends up just doing the call directly on the CPU when the CPU number matches, but we really should just do the wrmsr() directly instead. This duplicates the wrmsr() logic, but hopefully we can just remove the wrmsr_on_cpu() version eventually.

Users report that an extent map's list is still linked when it's actually going to be freed from cache. The story is that a) when we're going to drop an extent map and may split this large one into smaller ems, and if this large one is flagged as EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING which means that it's on the list to be logged, then the smaller ems split from it will also be flagged as EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING, and this is _not_ expected. b) we'll keep ems from unlinking the list and freeing when they are flagged with EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING, because the log code holds one reference. The end result is the warning, but the truth is that we set the flag EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING only during fsync. So clear flag EXTENT_FLAG_LOGGING for extent maps split from a large one.

This patch fixes a kernel crash when using precise sampling (PEBS) after a suspend/resume. Turns out the CPU notifier code is not invoked on CPU0 (BP). Therefore, the DS_AREA (used by PEBS) is not restored properly by the kernel and keeps it power-on/resume value of 0 causing any PEBS measurement to crash when running on CPU0. The workaround is to add a hook in the actual resume code to restore the DS Area MSR value. It is invoked for all CPUS. So for all but CPU0, the DS_AREA will be restored twice but this is harmless.

The vm_flags introduced in 6d7825b1 ("mm/fremap.c: fix oops on error path") is supposed to avoid a compiler warning about unitialized vm_flags without changing the generated code. However I am concerned that this is going to be very brittle, and fail with some compiler versions. The failure could be either of: - compiler could actually load vma->vm_flags before checking for the !vma condition, thus reintroducing the oops - compiler could optimize out the !vma check, since the pointer just got dereferenced shortly before (so the compiler knows it can't be NULL!) I propose reversing this part of the change and initializing vm_flags to 0 just to avoid the bogus uninitialized use warning.

Kudos to CAI Qian, whose testing uncovered this, to Eric Dumazet, who spotted root cause, and to Li Zefan, who tested this commit." * 'rcu/urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu: list: Fix double fetch of pointer in hlist_entry_safe()
-
Paul E. McKenney authored
The current version of hlist_entry_safe() fetches the pointer twice, once to test for NULL and the other to compute the offset back to the enclosing structure. This is OK for normal lock-based use because in that case, the pointer cannot change. However, when the pointer is protected by RCU (as in "rcu_dereference(p)"), then the pointer can change at any time. This use case can result in the following sequence of events: 1. CPU 0 invokes hlist_entry_safe(), fetches the RCU-protected pointer as sees that it is non-NULL. 2. CPU 1 invokes hlist_del_rcu(), deleting the entry that CPU 0 just fetched a pointer to. Because this is the last entry in the list, the pointer fetched by CPU 0 is now NULL. 3. CPU 0 refetches the pointer, obtains NULL, and then gets a NULL-pointer crash. This commit therefore applies gcc's "({ })" statement expression to create a temporary variable so that the specified pointer is fetched only once, avoiding the above sequence of events. Please note that it is the caller's responsibility to use rcu_dereference() as needed. This allows RCU-protected uses to work correctly without imposing any additional overhead on the non-RCU case. Many thanks to Eric Dumazet for spotting root cause! Reported-by: CAI Qian <caiqian@redhat.com> Reported-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
