Linus Torvalds a015d33c98 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe:
 "Two smaller fixes for this cycle:

   - A fixup from Keith so that NVMe compiles without BLK_INTEGRITY,
     basically just moving the code around appropriately.

   - A fixup for shm, fixing an oops in shmem_mapping() for mapping with
     no inode.  From Sasha"

[ The shmem fix doesn't look block-layer-related, but fixes a bug that
  happened due to the backing_dev_info removal..  - Linus ]

Joonsoo Kim 2ea55a2cae zram: use proper type to update max_used_pages
max_used_pages is defined as atomic_long_t so we need to use unsigned
long to keep temporary value for it rather than int which is smaller
than unsigned long in a 64 bit system.

Keith Busch 0c0f9b95c8 NVMe: Fix potential corruption on sync commands
This makes all sync commands uninterruptible and schedules without timeout
so the controller either has to post a completion or the timeout recovery
fails the command. This fixes potential memory or data corruption from
a command timing out too early or woken by a signal. Previously any DMA
buffers mapped for that command would have been released even though we
don't know what the controller is planning to do with those addresses.

Keith Busch 07836e659c NVMe: Fix potential corruption during shutdown
The driver has to end unreturned commands at some point even if the
controller has not provided a completion. The driver tried to be safe by
deleting IO queues prior to ending all unreturned commands. That should
cause the controller to internally abort inflight commands, but IO queue
deletion request does not have to be successful, so all bets are off. We
still have to make progress, so to be extra safe, this patch doesn't
clear a queue to release the dma mapping for a command until after the
pci device has been disabled.

This patch removes the special handling during device initialization
so controller recovery can be done all the time. This is possible since
initialization is not inlined with pci probe anymore.

Keith Busch b3fffdefab NVMe: Register management handle under nvme class
This creates a new class type for nvme devices to register their
management character devices with. This is so we do not rely on miscdev
to provide enough minors for as many nvme devices some people plan to
use. The previous limit was approximately 60 NVMe controllers, depending
on the platform and kernel. Now the limit is 1M, which ought to be enough
for anybody.

Since we have a new device class, it makes sense to attach the block
devices under this as well, so part of this patch moves the management
handle initialization prior to the namespaces discovery.

Keith Busch 4f1982b4e2 NVMe: Update SCSI Inquiry VPD 83h translation
The original translation created collisions on Inquiry VPD 83 for many
existing devices. Newer specifications provide other ways to translate
based on the device's version can be used to create unique identifiers.

Version 1.1 provides an EUI64 field that uniquely identifies each
namespace, and 1.2 added the longer NGUID field for the same reason.
Both follow the IEEE EUI format and readily translate to the SCSI device
identification EUI designator type 2h. For devices implementing either,
the translation will use this type, defaulting to the EUI64 8-byte type if
implemented then NGUID's 16 byte version if not. If neither are provided,
the 1.0 translation is used, and is updated to use the SCSI String format
to guarantee a unique identifier.

Knowing when to use the new fields depends on the nvme controller's
revision. The NVME_VS macro was not decoding this correctly, so that is
fixed in this patch and moved to a more appropriate place.

Since the Identify Namespace structure required an update for the NGUID
field, this patch adds the remaining new 1.2 fields to the structure.

Keith Busch e1e5e5641e NVMe: Metadata format support
Adds support for NVMe metadata formats and exposes block devices for
all namespaces regardless of their format. Namespace formats that are
unusable will have disk capacity set to 0, but a handle to the block
device is created to simplify device management. A namespace is not
usable when the format requires host interleave block and metadata in
single buffer, has no provisioned storage, or has better data but failed
to register with blk integrity.

The namespace has to be scanned in two phases to support separate
metadata formats. The first establishes the sector size and capacity
prior to invoking add_disk. If metadata is required, the capacity will
be temporarilly set to 0 until it can be revalidated and registered with
the integrity extenstions after add_disk completes.

The driver relies on the integrity extensions to provide the metadata
buffer. NVMe requires this be a single physically contiguous region,
so only one integrity segment is allowed per command. If the metadata
is used for T10 PI, the driver provides mappings to save and restore
the reftag physical block translation. The driver provides no-op
functions for generate and verify if metadata is not used for protection
information. This way the setup is always provided by the block layer.

If a request does not supply a required metadata buffer, the command
is failed with bad address. This could only happen if a user manually
disables verify/generate on such a disk. The only exception to where
this is okay is if the controller is capable of stripping/generating
the metadata, which is possible on some types of formats.

The metadata scatter gather list now occupies the spot in the nvme_iod
that used to be used to link retryable IOD's, but we don't do that
anymore, so the field was unused.

Ilya Dryomov cf32bd9c86 rbd: do not treat standalone as flatten
If the clone is resized down to 0, it becomes standalone.  If such
resize is carried over while an image is mapped we would detect this
and call rbd_dev_parent_put() which means "let go of all parent state,
including the spec(s) of parent images(s)".  This leads to a mismatch
between "rbd info" and sysfs parent fields, so a fix is in order.

    # rbd create --image-format 2 --size 1 foo
    # rbd snap create foo@snap
    # rbd snap protect foo@snap

Ganesh Mahendran 3eba0c6a56 mm/zpool: add name argument to create zpool
Currently the underlay of zpool: zsmalloc/zbud, do not know who creates
them.  There is not a method to let zsmalloc/zbud find which caller they
belong to.

Now we want to add statistics collection in zsmalloc.  We need to name the
debugfs dir for each pool created.  The way suggested by Minchan Kim is to
use a name passed by caller(such as zram) to create the zsmalloc pool.

    /sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/zram0

This patch adds an argument `name' to zs_create_pool() and other related

Minchan Kim 08eee69fcf zram: remove init_lock in zram_make_request
Admin could reset zram during I/O operation going on so we have used
zram->init_lock as read-side lock in I/O path to prevent sudden zram
meta freeing.

However, the init_lock is really troublesome.  We can't do call
zram_meta_alloc under init_lock due to lockdep splat because
zram_rw_page is one of the function under reclaim path and hold it as
read_lock while other places in process context hold it as write_lock.
So, we have used allocation out of the lock to avoid lockdep warn but
it's not good for readability and fainally, I met another lockdep splat
between init_lock and cpu_hotplug from kmem_cache_destroy during working
zsmalloc compaction.  :(

Yes, the ideal is to remove horrible init_lock of zram in rw path.  This
patch removes it in rw path and instead, add atomic refcount for meta
lifetime management and completion to free meta in process context.
It's important to free meta in process context because some of resource
destruction needs mutex lock, which could be held if we releases the
resource in reclaim context so it's deadlock, again.

As a bonus, we could remove init_done check in rw path because
zram_meta_get will do a role for it, instead.

The warning comes from bdev_write_node in blkdev_put path.

   static void bdev_write_inode(struct inode *inode)
   {
        spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
        while (inode->i_state & I_DIRTY) {
                spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
                WARN_ON_ONCE(write_inode_now(inode, true)); <========= here.
                spin_lock(&inode->i_lock);
        }
        spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock);
   }

The reason is dd process encounters I/O fails due to sudden block device
disappear so in filemap_check_errors in __writeback_single_inode returns
-EIO.

If we check bd_openers instead of bd_holders, we could address the
problem.  When I see the brd, it already have used it rather than
bd_holders so although I'm not a expert of block layer, it seems to be
better.

I can make following warning with below simple script.  In addition, I
added msleep(2000) below set_capacity(zram->disk, 0) after applying your
patch to make window huge(Kudos to Ganesh!)

script:

   echo $((60<<30)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize
   setsid dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/zram0 &
   sleep 1
   setsid echo 1 > /sys/block/zram0/reset

Sergey Senozhatsky a096cafc31 zram: rework reset and destroy path
We need to return set_capacity(disk, 0) from reset_store() back to
zram_reset_device(), a catch by Ganesh Mahendran.  Potentially, we can
race set_capacity() calls from init and reset paths.

The problem is that zram_reset_device() is also getting called from
zram_exit(), which performs operations in misleading reversed order -- we
first create_device() and then init it, while zram_exit() perform
destroy_device() first and then does zram_reset_device().  This is done to
remove sysfs group before we reset device, so we can continue with device
reset/destruction not being raced by sysfs attr write (f.e.  disksize).

Apart from that, destroy_device() releases zram->disk (but we still have
->disk pointer), so we cannot acces zram->disk in later
zram_reset_device() call, which may cause additional errors in the future.

So, this patch rework and cleanup destroy path.

1) remove several unneeded goto labels in zram_init()

2) factor out zram_init() error path and zram_exit() into
   destroy_devices() function, which takes the number of devices to
   destroy as its argument.

3) remove sysfs group in destroy_devices() first, so we can reorder
   operations -- reset device (as expected) goes before disk destroy and
   queue cleanup.  So we can always access ->disk in zram_reset_device().

4) and, finally, return set_capacity() back under ->init_lock.

Sergey Senozhatsky ba6b17d68c zram: fix umount-reset_store-mount race condition
Ganesh Mahendran was the first one who proposed to use bdev->bd_mutex to
avoid ->bd_holders race condition:

        CPU0                            CPU1
umount /* zram->init_done is true */
reset_store()
bdev->bd_holders == 0                   mount
...                                     zram_make_request()
zram_reset_device()

However, his solution required some considerable amount of code movement,
which we can avoid.

Apart from using bdev->bd_mutex in reset_store(), this patch also
simplifies zram_reset_device().

zram_reset_device() has a bool parameter reset_capacity which tells it
whether disk capacity and itself disk should be reset.  There are two
zram_reset_device() callers:

-- zram_exit() passes reset_capacity=false
-- reset_store() passes reset_capacity=true

So we can move reset_capacity-sensitive work out of zram_reset_device()
and perform it unconditionally in reset_store().  This also lets us drop
reset_capacity parameter from zram_reset_device() and pass zram pointer
only.

Ilya Dryomov e69b8d414f rbd: drop parent_ref in rbd_dev_unprobe() unconditionally
This effectively reverts the last hunk of 392a9dad7e ("rbd: detect
when clone image is flattened").

The problem with parent_overlap != 0 condition is that it's possible
and completely valid to have an image with parent_overlap == 0 whose
parent state needs to be cleaned up on unmap.  The next commit, which
drops the "clone image now standalone" logic, opens up another window
of opportunity to hit this, but even without it

    # cat parent-ref.sh
    #!/bin/bash
    rbd create --image-format 2 --size 1 foo
    rbd snap create foo@snap
    rbd snap protect foo@snap
    rbd clone foo@snap bar
    rbd resize --allow-shrink --size 0 bar
    rbd resize --size 1 bar
    DEV=$(rbd map bar)
    rbd unmap $DEV

leaves rbd_device/rbd_spec/etc and rbd_client along with ceph_client
hanging around.

My thinking behind calling rbd_dev_parent_put() unconditionally is that
there shouldn't be any requests in flight at that point in time as we
are deep into unmap sequence.  Hence, even if rbd_dev_unparent() caused
by flatten is delayed by in-flight requests, it will have finished by
the time we reach rbd_dev_unprobe() caused by unmap, thus turning
unconditional rbd_dev_parent_put() into a no-op.

Ilya Dryomov ae43e9d05e rbd: fix rbd_dev_parent_get() when parent_overlap == 0
The comment for rbd_dev_parent_get() said

    * We must get the reference before checking for the overlap to
    * coordinate properly with zeroing the parent overlap in
    * rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() when an image gets flattened.  We
    * drop it again if there is no overlap.

but the "drop it again if there is no overlap" part was missing from
the implementation.  This lead to absurd parent_ref values for images
with parent_overlap == 0, as parent_ref was incremented for each
img_request and virtually never decremented.

Fix this by leveraging the fact that refresh path calls
rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() under header_rwsem and use it for read in
rbd_dev_parent_get(), instead of messing around with atomics.  Get rid
of barriers in rbd_dev_v2_parent_info() while at it - I don't see what
they'd pair with now and I suspect we are in a pretty miserable
situation as far as proper locking goes regardless.

Martin K. Petersen d93ba7a5a9 block: Add discard flag to blkdev_issue_zeroout() function
blkdev_issue_discard() will zero a given block range. This is done by
way of explicit writing, thus provisioning or allocating the blocks on
disk.

There are use cases where the desired behavior is to zero the blocks but
unprovision them if possible. The blocks must deterministically contain
zeroes when they are subsequently read back.

This patch adds a flag to blkdev_issue_zeroout() that provides this
variant. If the discard flag is set and a block device guarantees
discard_zeroes_data we will use REQ_DISCARD to clear the block range. If
the device does not support discard_zeroes_data or if the discard
request fails we will fall back to first REQ_WRITE_SAME and then a
regular REQ_WRITE.

Also update the callers of blkdev_issue_zero() to reflect the new flag
and make sb_issue_zeroout() prefer the discard approach.

Boaz Harrosh c8fa31730f brd: Request from fdisk 4k alignment
Because of the direct_access() API which returns a PFN. partitions
better start on 4K boundary, else offset ZERO of a partition will
not be aligned and blk_direct_access() will fail the call.

By setting blk_queue_physical_block_size(PAGE_SIZE) we can communicate
this to fdisk and friends.

The call to blk_queue_physical_block_size() is harmless and will
not affect the Kernel behavior in any way. It is only for
communication to user-mode.

before this patch running fdisk on a default size brd of 4M
the first sector offered is 34 (BAD), but after this patch it
will be 40, ie 8 sectors aligned. Also when entering some random
partition sizes the next partition-start sector is offered 8 sectors
aligned after this patch. (Please note that with fdisk the user
can still enter bad values, only the offered default values will
be correct)

Note that with bdev-size > 4M fdisk will try to align on a 1M
boundary (above first-sector will be 2048), in any case.

Boaz Harrosh 937af5ecd0 brd: Fix all partitions BUGs
This patch fixes up brd's partitions scheme, now enjoying all worlds.

The MAIN fix here is that currently, if one fdisks some partitions,
a BAD bug will make all partitions point to the same start-end sector
ie: 0 - brd_size And an mkfs of any partition would trash the partition
table and the other partition.

Another fix is that "mount -U uuid" will not work if show_part was not
specified, because of the GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO flag.
We now always load without it and remove the show_part parameter.

[We remove Dmitry's new module-param part_show it is now always
 show]

So NOW the logic goes like this:
* max_part - Just says how many minors to reserve between ramX
  devices. In any way, there can be as many partition as requested.
  If minors between devices ends, then dynamic 259-major ids will
  be allocated on the fly.
  The default is now max_part=1, which means all partitions devt(s)
  will be from the dynamic (259) major-range.
  (If persistent partition minors is needed use max_part=X)
  For example with /dev/sdX max_part is hard coded 16.

* Creation of new devices on the fly still/always work:
  mknod /path/devnod b 1 X
  fdisk -l /path/devnod
  Will create a new device if [X / max_part] was not already
  created before. (Just as before)

  partitions on the dynamically created device will work as well
  Same logic applies with minors as with the pre-created ones.

TODO: dynamic grow of device size. So each device can have it's
      own size.
