      bdi: reimplement bdev_inode_switch_bdi() · 018a17bd
      Tejun Heo authored 
      A block_device may be attached to different gendisks and thus
different bdis over time.  bdev_inode_switch_bdi() is used to switch
the associated bdi.  The function assumes that the inode could be
dirty and transfers it between bdis if so.  This is a bit nasty in
that it reaches into bdi internals.

This patch reimplements the function so that it writes out the inode
if dirty.  This is a lot simpler and can be implemented without
exposing bdi internals.

      bdi: explain the dirty list transferring in bdi_destroy() · 1a1e4530
      Tejun Heo authored 
      bdi_destroy() has code to transfer the remaining dirty inodes to the
default_backing_dev_info; however, given the shutdown sequence, it
isn't clear how such condition would happen.  Also, it isn't a full
solution as the transferred inodes stlil point to the bdi which is
being destroyed.  Operations on those inodes can end up accessing
already released fields such as the percpu stat fields.

Digging through the history, it seems that the code was added as a
quick workaround for a bug report without fully root-causing the
issue.  We probably want to remove the code in time but for now let's
add a comment noting that it is a quick workaround.

      bdi: make backing_dev_info->wb.dwork canceling stricter · c0ea1c22
      Tejun Heo authored 
      Canceling of bdi->wb.dwork is currently a bit mushy.
bdi_wb_shutdown() performs cancel_delayed_work_sync() at the end after
shutting down and flushing the delayed_work and bdi_destroy() tries
yet again after bdi_unregister().

bdi->wb.dwork is queued only after checking BDI_registered while
holding bdi->wb_lock and bdi_wb_shutdown() clears the flag while
holding the same lock and then flushes the delayed_work.  There's no
way the delayed_work can be queued again after that.

Replace the two unnecessary cancel_delayed_work_sync() invocations
with WARNs on pending.  This simplifies and clarifies the code a bit
and will help future changes in further isolating bdi_writeback
handling.

      bdi: remove bdi->wb_lock locking around bdi->dev clearing in bdi_unregister() · b6875734
      Tejun Heo authored 
      The only places where NULL test on bdi->dev is used are
bdi_[un]register().  The functions can't be called in parallel anyway
and there's no point in protecting bdi->dev clearing with a lock.
Remove bdi->wb_lock grabbing around bdi->dev clearing and move it
after device_unregister() call so that bdi->dev doesn't have to be
cached in a local variable.

This patch shouldn't introduce any behavior difference.

      block, bdi: an active gendisk always has a request_queue associated with it · ff9ea323
      Tejun Heo authored 
      bdev_get_queue() returns the request_queue associated with the
specified block_device.  blk_get_backing_dev_info() makes use of
bdev_get_queue() to determine the associated bdi given a block_device.

All the callers of bdev_get_queue() including
blk_get_backing_dev_info() assume that bdev_get_queue() may return
NULL and implement NULL handling; however, bdev_get_queue() requires
the passed in block_device is opened and attached to its gendisk.
Because an active gendisk always has a valid request_queue associated
with it, bdev_get_queue() can never return NULL and neither can
blk_get_backing_dev_info().

Make it clear that neither of the two functions can return NULL and
remove NULL handling from all the callers.

      block,scsi: fixup blk_get_request dead queue scenarios · a492f075
      Joe Lawrence authored 
      The blk_get_request function may fail in low-memory conditions or during
device removal (even if __GFP_WAIT is set). To distinguish between these
errors, modify the blk_get_request call stack to return the appropriate
ERR_PTR. Verify that all callers check the return status and consider
IS_ERR instead of a simple NULL pointer check.

For consistency, make a similar change to the blk_mq_alloc_request leg
of blk_get_request.  It may fail if the queue is dead, or the caller was
unwilling to wait.

Pull fix for ftrace function tracer/profiler conflict from Steven Rostedt:
 "The rewrite of the ftrace code that makes it possible to allow for
  separate trampolines had a design flaw with the interaction between
  the function and function_graph tracers.

  The main flaw was the simplification of the use of multiple tracers
  having the same filter (like function and function_graph, that use the
  set_ftrace_filter file to filter their code).  The design assumed that
  the two tracers could never run simultaneously as only one tracer can
  be used at a time.  The problem with this assumption was that the
  function profiler could be implemented on top of the function graph
  tracer, and the function profiler could run at the same time as the
  function tracer.  This caused the assumption to be broken and when
  ftrace detected this failed assumpiton it would spit out a nasty
  warning and shut itself down.

  Instead of using a single ftrace_ops that switches between the
  function and function_graph callbacks, the two tracers can again use
  their own ftrace_ops.  But instead of having a complex hierarchy of
  ftrace_ops, the filter fields are placed in its own structure and the
  ftrace_ops can carefully use the same filter.  This change took a bit
  to be able to allow for this and currently only the global_ops can
  share the same filter, but this new design can easily be modified to
  allow for any ftrace_ops to share its filter with another ftrace_ops.

  The first four patches deal with the change of allowing the ftrace_ops
  to share the filter (and this needs to go to 3.16 as well).

  The fifth patch fixes a bug that was also caused by the new changes
  but only for archs other than x86, and only if those archs implement a
  direct call to the function_graph tracer which they do not do yet but
  will in the future.  It does not need to go to stable, but needs to be
  fixed before the other archs update their code to allow direct calls
  to the function_graph trampoline"

      ftrace: Use current addr when converting to nop in __ftrace_replace_code() · 39b5552c
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      In __ftrace_replace_code(), when converting the call to a nop in a function
it needs to compare against the "curr" (current) value of the ftrace ops, and
not the "new" one. It currently does not affect x86 which is the only arch
to do the trampolines with function graph tracer, but when other archs that do
depend on this code implement the function graph trampoline, it can crash.

Here's an example when ARM uses the trampolines (in the future):

      ftrace: Fix function_profiler and function tracer together · 5f151b24
      Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) authored 
      The latest rewrite of ftrace removed the separate ftrace_ops of
the function tracer and the function graph tracer and had them
share the same ftrace_ops. This simplified the accounting by removing
the multiple layers of functions called, where the global_ops func
would call a special list that would iterate over the other ops that
were registered within it (like function and function graph), which
itself was registered to the ftrace ops list of all functions
currently active. If that sounds confusing, the code that implemented
it was also confusing and its removal is a good thing.

The problem with this change was that it assumed that the function
and function graph tracer can never be used at the same time.
This is mostly true, but there is an exception. That is when the
function profiler uses the function graph tracer to profile.
The function profiler can be activated the same time as the function
tracer, and this breaks the assumption and the result is that ftrace
will crash (it detects the error and shuts itself down, it does not
cause a kernel oops).

To solve this issue, a previous change allowed the hash tables
for the functions traced by a ftrace_ops to be a pointer and let
multiple ftrace_ops share the same hash. This allows the function
and function_graph tracer to have separate ftrace_ops, but still
share the hash, which is what is done.

Now the function and function graph tracers have separate ftrace_ops
again, and the function tracer can be run while the function_profile
is active.
