Al Viro d4430d62fa [PATCH] beginning of methods conversion
To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.

Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

New methods:
	open(bdev, mode)
	release(disk, mode)
	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */
	compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
	locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)	/* Called with BKL, legacy */

Andrew Patterson 608aeef17a Call flush_disk() after detecting an online resize.
We call flush_disk() to make sure the buffer cache for the disk is
flushed after a disk resize. There are two resize cases, growing and
shrinking. Given that users can shrink/then grow a disk before
revalidate_disk() is called, we treat the grow case identically to
shrinking. We need to flush the buffer cache after an online shrink
because, as James Bottomley puts it,

     The two use cases for shrinking I can see are

     1. planned: the fs is already shrunk to within the new boundaries
        and all data is relocated, so invalidate is fine (any dirty
        buffers that might exist in the shrunk region are there only
        because they were relocated but not yet written to their
        original location).
     2. unplanned:  In this case, the fs is probably toast, so whether
        we invalidate or not isn't going to make a whole lot of
        difference; it's still going to try to read or write from
        sectors beyond the new size and get I/O errors.

Immediately invalidating shrunk disks will cause errors for outstanding
I/Os for reads/write beyond the new end of the disk to be generated
earlier then if we waited for the normal buffer cache operation. It also
removes a potential security hole where we might keep old data around
from beyond the end of the shrunk disk if the disk was not invalidated.

Andrew Patterson 56ade44b46 Added flush_disk to factor out common buffer cache flushing code.
We need to be able to flush the buffer cache for for more than
just when a disk is changed, so we factor out common cache flush code
in check_disk_change() to an internal flush_disk() routine.  This
routine will then be used for both disk changes and disk resizes (in a
later patch).

Include the disk name in the text indicating that there are busy
inodes on the device and increase the KERN severity of the message.

Andrew Patterson c3279d1454 Adjust block device size after an online resize of a disk.
The revalidate_disk routine now checks if a disk has been resized by
comparing the gendisk capacity to the bdev inode size.  If they are
different (usually because the disk has been resized underneath the kernel)
the bdev inode size is adjusted to match the capacity.

This is a wrapper for the lower-level revalidate_disk call-backs such

Tejun Heo b5d0b9df0b block: introduce partition 0
genhd and partition code handled disk and partitions separately.  All
information about the whole disk was in struct genhd and partitions in
struct hd_struct.  However, the whole disk (part0) and other
partitions have a lot in common and the data structures end up having
good number of common fields and thus separate code paths doing the
same thing.  Also, the partition array was indexed by partno - 1 which
gets pretty confusing at times.

This patch introduces partition 0 and makes the partition array
indexed by partno.  Following patches will unify the handling of disk
and parts piece-by-piece.

This patch also implements disk_partitionable() which tests whether a
disk is partitionable.  With coming dynamic partition array change,
the most common usage of disk_max_parts() will be testing whether a
disk is partitionable and the number of max partitions will become
much less important.

Tejun Heo e71bf0d0ee block: fix disk->part[] dereferencing race
disk->part[] is protected by its matching bdev's lock.  However,
non-critical accesses like collecting stats and printing out sysfs and
proc information used to be performed without any locking.  As
partitions can come and go dynamically, partitions can go away
underneath those non-critical accesses.  As some of those accesses are
writes, this theoretically can lead to silent corruption.

This patch fixes the race by using RCU for the partition array and dev
reference counter to hold partitions.

* Rename disk->part[] to disk->__part[] to make sure no one outside
  genhd layer proper accesses it directly.

* Use RCU for disk->__part[] dereferencing.

* Implement disk_{get|put}_part() which can be used to get and put
  partitions from gendisk respectively.

* Iterators are implemented to help iterate through all partitions
  safely.

* Functions which require RCU readlock are marked with _rcu suffix.

* Use disk_put_part() in __blkdev_put() instead of directly putting
  the contained kobject.

Tejun Heo f331c0296f block: don't depend on consecutive minor space
* Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly
  access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor.

  Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of
  block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as
  ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the
  disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary.  However,
  convert them for consistency.

* Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing
  genhd->minors.

* Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor
  space.

* Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it
  the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).

These changes clean up the code and will help disk->part dereference
fix and extended block device numbers.

Jan Blunck 4ac9137858 Embed a struct path into struct nameidata instead of nd->{dentry,mnt}
This is the central patch of a cleanup series. In most cases there is no good
reason why someone would want to use a dentry for itself. This series reflects
that fact and embeds a struct path into nameidata.

Together with the other patches of this series
- it enforced the correct order of getting/releasing the reference count on
  <dentry,vfsmount> pairs
- it prepares the VFS for stacking support since it is essential to have a
  struct path in every place where the stack can be traversed
- it reduces the overall code size:

Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed
from bi_size.  So don't do that either.

While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void.

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's

BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.

This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()

about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,

Christoph Lameter 50953fe9e0 slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag
I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

Peter Zijlstra f9a14399ae mm: optimize kill_bdev()
Remove duplicate work in kill_bdev().

It currently invalidates and then truncates the bdev's mapping.
invalidate_mapping_pages() will opportunistically remove pages from the
mapping.  And truncate_inode_pages() will forcefully remove all pages.

The only thing truncate doesn't do is flush the bh lrus.  So do that
explicitly.  This avoids (very unlikely) but possible invalid lookup
results if the same bdev is quickly re-issued.

It also will prevent extreme kernel latencies which are observed when
blockdevs which have a large amount of pagecache are unmounted, by avoiding
invalidate_mapping_pages() on that path.  invalidate_mapping_pages() has no
cond_resched (it can be called under spinlock), whereas truncate_inode_pages()
has one.

Chen, Kenneth W e61c90188b [PATCH] optimize o_direct on block devices
Implement block device specific .direct_IO method instead of going through
generic direct_io_worker for block device.

direct_io_worker() is fairly complex because it needs to handle O_DIRECT on
file system, where it needs to perform block allocation, hole detection,
extents file on write, and tons of other corner cases.  The end result is
that it takes tons of CPU time to submit an I/O.

For block device, the block allocation is much simpler and a tight triple
loop can be written to iterate each iovec and each page within the iovec in
order to construct/prepare bio structure and then subsequently submit it to
the block layer.  This significantly speeds up O_D on block device.

NeilBrown 37be41241f [PATCH] lockdep: simplify some aspects of bd_mutex nesting
When we open (actually blkdev_get) a partition we need to also open (get) the
whole device that holds the partition.  The involves some limited recursion.
This patch tries to simplify some aspects of this.

As well as opening the whole device, we need to increment ->bd_part_count when
a partition is opened (this is used by rescan_partitions to avoid a rescan if
any partition is active, as that would be confusing).

The main change this patch makes is to move the inc/dec of bd_part_count into
blkdev_{get,put} for the whole rather than doing it in blkdev_{get,put} for
the partition.

More specifically, we introduce __blkdev_get and __blkdev_put which do exactly
what blkdev_{get,put} did, only with an extra "for_part" argument
(blkget_{get,put} then call the __ version with a '0' for the extra argument).

If for_part is 1, then the blkdev is being get(put) because a partition is
being opened(closed) for the first(last) time, and so bd_part_count should be
updated (on success).  The particular advantage of pushing this function down
is that the bd_mutex lock (which is needed to update bd_part_count) is already
held at the lower level.

Note that this slightly changes the semantics of bd_part_count.  Instead of
updating it whenever a partition is opened or released, it is now only updated
on the first open or last release.  This is an adequate semantic as it is only
ever tested for "== 0".

Having introduced these functions we remove the current bd_part_count updates
from do_open (which is really the body of blkdev_get) and call
__blkdev_get(...  1).  Similarly in blkget_put we remove the old bd_part_count
updates and call __blkget_put(..., 1).  This call is moved to the end of
__blkdev_put to avoid nested locks of bd_mutex.

Finally the mutex_lock on whole->bd_mutex in do_open can be removed.  It was
only really needed to protect bd_part_count, and that is now managed (and
protected) within the recursive call.

The observation that bd_part_count is central to the locking issues, and the
modifications to create __blkdev_put are from Peter Zijlstra.

add_bd_holder() is called from bd_claim_by_kobject to put a given struct

There are 3 possible results of add_bd_holder():
  1. there is no matching entry and add the given one to the list
  2. there is matching entry, so just increment reference count of
     the existing one
  3. something failed during its course

1 and 2 are successful cases.  But for case 2, someone has to free the
unused struct bd_holder.

The current code frees it inside of add_bd_holder and returns same value
0 for both cases 1 and 2.  However, it's natural and less error-prone if
caller frees it since it's allocated by the caller.

In a nutshell, all filesystems should set .aio_read/.aio_write methods and use

Andrew Morton 4d7dd8fd95 [PATCH] blockdev.c: check driver layer errors
Check driver layer errors.

Fix from: "Jun'ichi Nomura" <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com>

In blockdevc-check-errors.patch, add_bd_holder() is modified to return error
values when some of its operation failed.  Among them, it returns -EEXIST when
a given bd_holder object already exists in the list.

However, in this case, the function completed its work successfully and need
no action by its caller other than freeing unused bd_holder object.  So I
think it's better to return success after freeing by itself.

Otherwise, bd_claim-ing with same claim pointer will fail.
Typically, lvresize will fails with following message:
  device-mapper: reload ioctl failed: Invalid argument
and you'll see messages like below in kernel log:
  device-mapper: table: 254:13: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed
  device-mapper: ioctl: error adding target to table

Similarly, it should not add bd_holder to the list if either one of symlinking
fails.  I don't have a test case for this to happen but it should cause
dereference of freed pointer.

If a matching bd_holder is found in bd_holder_list, add_bd_holder() completes
its job by just incrementing the reference count.  In this case, it should be
considered as success but it used to return 'fail' to let the caller free
temporary bd_holder.  Fixed it to return success and free given object by
itself.

Also, if either one of symlinking fails, the bd_holder should not be added to
the list so that it can be discarded later.  Otherwise, the caller will free
bd_holder which is in the list.

OK, I'm having a look here; its all new to me so bear with me.

blkdev_open() calls
  do_open(bdev, ...,BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) and takes
    mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_mutex, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL)

then something fails, and we're thrown to:

out_first: where
    if (bdev != bdev->bd_contains)
      blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains) which is
        __blkdev_put(bdev->bd_contains, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) which does
          mutex_lock_nested(&bdev->bd_contains->bd_mutex, BD_MUTEX_NORMAL) <--- lockdep trigger

When going to out_first, dbev->bd_contains is either bdev or whole, and
since we take the branch it must be whole. So it seems to me the
following patch would be the right one:

Teach special (recursive) locking code to the lock validator.

Effects on non-lockdep kernels:

- the introduction of the following function variants:

  extern struct block_device *open_partition_by_devnum(dev_t, unsigned);

  extern int blkdev_put_partition(struct block_device *);

  static int
  blkdev_get_whole(struct block_device *bdev, mode_t mode, unsigned flags);

 which on non-lockdep are the same as open_by_devnum(), blkdev_put()
 and blkdev_get().

- a subclass parameter to do_open(). [unused on non-lockdep]

- a subclass parameter to __blkdev_put(), which is a new internal
  function for the main blkdev_put*() functions. [parameter unused
  on non-lockdep kernels, except for two sanity check WARN_ON()s]

these functions carry no semantical difference - they only express
object dependencies towards the lockdep subsystem.

David Howells 454e2398be [PATCH] VFS: Permit filesystem to override root dentry on mount
Extend the get_sb() filesystem operation to take an extra argument that
permits the VFS to pass in the target vfsmount that defines the mountpoint.

The filesystem is then required to manually set the superblock and root dentry
pointers.  For most filesystems, this should be done with simple_set_mnt()
which will set the superblock pointer and then set the root dentry to the
superblock's s_root (as per the old default behaviour).

The get_sb() op now returns an integer as there's now no need to return the
superblock pointer.

This patch permits a superblock to be implicitly shared amongst several mount
points, such as can be done with NFS to avoid potential inode aliasing.  In
such a case, simple_set_mnt() would not be called, and instead the mnt_root
and mnt_sb would be set directly.

The patch also makes the following changes:

 (*) the get_sb_*() convenience functions in the core kernel now take a vfsmount
     pointer argument and return an integer, so most filesystems have to change
     very little.

 (*) If one of the convenience function is not used, then get_sb() should
     normally call simple_set_mnt() to instantiate the vfsmount. This will
     always return 0, and so can be tail-called from get_sb().

 (*) generic_shutdown_super() now calls shrink_dcache_sb() to clean up the
     dcache upon superblock destruction rather than shrink_dcache_anon().

     This is required because the superblock may now have multiple trees that
     aren't actually bound to s_root, but that still need to be cleaned up. The
     currently called functions assume that the whole tree is rooted at s_root,
     and that anonymous dentries are not the roots of trees which results in
     dentries being left unculled.

     However, with the way NFS superblock sharing are currently set to be
     implemented, these assumptions are violated: the root of the filesystem is
     simply a dummy dentry and inode (the real inode for '/' may well be
     inaccessible), and all the vfsmounts are rooted on anonymous[*] dentries
     with child trees.

     [*] Anonymous until discovered from another tree.

 (*) The documentation has been adjusted, including the additional bit of
     changing ext2_* into foo_* in the documentation.

OGAWA Hirofumi 09d967c6f3 [PATCH] Fix a race condition between ->i_mapping and iput()
This race became a cause of oops, and can reproduce by the following.

    while true; do
	dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/.static/dev/hdg1 bs=512 count=1000 & sync
    done

This race condition was between __sync_single_inode() and iput().

          cpu0 (fs's inode)                 cpu1 (bdev's inode)
          -----------------                 -------------------
                                       close("/dev/hda2")
                                       [...]
__sync_single_inode()
   /* copy the bdev's ->i_mapping */
   mapping = inode->i_mapping;

                                       generic_forget_inode()
                                          bdev_clear_inode()
					     /* restre the fs's ->i_mapping */
				             inode->i_mapping = &inode->i_data;
				          /* bdev's inode was freed */
                                          destroy_inode(inode);

   if (wait) {
      /* dereference a freed bdev's mapping->host */
      filemap_fdatawait(mapping);  /* Oops */

Since __sync_single_inode() is only taking a ref-count of fs's inode, the
another process can be close() and freeing the bdev's inode while writing
fs's inode.  So, __sync_signle_inode() accesses the freed ->i_mapping,
oops.

This patch takes a ref-count on the bdev's inode for the fs's inode before
setting a ->i_mapping, and the clear_inode() of the fs's inode does iput() on
the bdev's inode.  So if the fs's inode is still living, bdev's inode
shouldn't be freed.

Paul Jackson 4b6a9316fa [PATCH] cpuset memory spread: slab cache filesystems
Mark file system inode and similar slab caches subject to SLAB_MEM_SPREAD
memory spreading.

If a slab cache is marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD, then anytime that a task that's
in a cpuset with the 'memory_spread_slab' option enabled goes to allocate
from such a slab cache, the allocations are spread evenly over all the
memory nodes (task->mems_allowed) allowed to that task, instead of favoring
allocation on the node local to the current cpu.

The following inode and similar caches are marked SLAB_MEM_SPREAD:

The choice of which slab caches to so mark was quite simple.  I marked
those already marked SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT, except for fs/xfs, dentry_cache,
inode_cache, and buffer_head, which were marked in a previous patch.  Even
though SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT is for a different purpose, it marks the same
potentially large file system i/o related slab caches as we need for memory
spreading.

Given that the rule now becomes "wherever you would have used a
SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT slab cache flag before (usually the inode cache), use
the SLAB_MEM_SPREAD flag too", this should be easy enough to maintain.
Future file system writers will just copy one of the existing file system
slab cache setups and tend to get it right without thinking.

Arjan van de Ven c039e3134a [PATCH] sem2mutex: blockdev #2
Semaphore to mutex conversion.

The conversion was generated via scripts, and the result was validated
automatically via a script as well.

Jes Sorensen 1b1dcc1b57 [PATCH] mutex subsystem, semaphore to mutex: VFS, ->i_sem
This patch converts the inode semaphore to a mutex. I have tested it on
XFS and compiled as much as one can consider on an ia64. Anyway your
luck with it might be different.

(finished the conversion)

Arnd Bergmann bb93e3a52f [PATCH] block: add unlocked_ioctl support for block devices
This patch allows block device drivers to convert their ioctl functions to
unlocked_ioctl() like character devices and other subsystems.  All
functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that
way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl
functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves.

As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as
well, which looks like a bug.  I have checked that every user of
disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so
it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
