Kees Cook 87c1d2d373 lightnvm: Convert timers to use timer_setup()
In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to
all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer()
to pass the timer pointer explicitly.

Linus Torvalds e2c5923c34 Merge branch 'for-4.15/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block storage for 4.15-rc1.

  Nothing out of the ordinary in here, and no API changes or anything
  like that. Just various new features for drivers, core changes, etc.
  In particular, this pull request contains:

   - A patch series from Bart, closing the whole on blk/scsi-mq queue
     quescing.

   - A series from Christoph, building towards hidden gendisks (for
     multipath) and ability to move bio chains around.

   - NVMe
        - Support for native multipath for NVMe (Christoph).
        - Userspace notifications for AENs (Keith).
        - Command side-effects support (Keith).
        - SGL support (Chaitanya Kulkarni)
        - FC fixes and improvements (James Smart)
        - Lots of fixes and tweaks (Various)

   - bcache
        - New maintainer (Michael Lyle)
        - Writeback control improvements (Michael)
        - Various fixes (Coly, Elena, Eric, Liang, et al)

   - lightnvm updates, mostly centered around the pblk interface
     (Javier, Hans, and Rakesh).

   - Removal of unused bio/bvec kmap atomic interfaces (me, Christoph)

   - Writeback series that fix the much discussed hundreds of millions
     of sync-all units. This goes all the way, as discussed previously
     (me).

   - Fix for missing wakeup on writeback timer adjustments (Yafang
     Shao).

   - Fix laptop mode on blk-mq (me).

   - {mq,name} tupple lookup for IO schedulers, allowing us to have
     alias names. This means you can use 'deadline' on both !mq and on
     mq (where it's called mq-deadline). (me).

   - blktrace race fix, oopsing on sg load (me).

   - blk-mq optimizations (me).

   - Obscure waitqueue race fix for kyber (Omar).

   - NBD fixes (Josef).

   - Disable writeback throttling by default on bfq, like we do on cfq
     (Luca Miccio).

   - Series from Ming that enable us to treat flush requests on blk-mq
     like any other request. This is a really nice cleanup.

   - Series from Ming that improves merging on blk-mq with schedulers,
     getting us closer to flipping the switch on scsi-mq again.

   - BFQ updates (Paolo).

   - blk-mq atomic flags memory ordering fixes (Peter Z).

   - Loop cgroup support (Shaohua).

   - Lots of minor fixes from lots of different folks, both for core and

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Javier González 8da10cce7c lightnvm: pblk: avoid being reported as hung on rated GC
The amount of GC I/O on the write buffer is managed by the rate-limiter,
which is calculated as a function of the number of available free
blocks. When reaching the stable point, we risk having scheduled more
I/Os for GC than are allowed on the write buffer. This would result on
the GC semaphore balancing the outstanding read GC I/Os to be reported
as "hung", though the behavior is normal.

Solve this by allowing to schedule when we detect that the read GC path
is not moving forward.

Hans Holmberg 75610cd974 lightnvm: pblk: consider bad sectors in emeta during recovery
When recovering lines we need to consider that bad blocks in a line
affect the emeta area size.

Previously it was assumed that the emeta area would grow by the
number of sectors per page * number of bad blocks in the line.

This assumption is not correct - the number of "extra" pages that are
consumed could be both smaller (depending on emeta size) and bigger
(depending on the placement of the bad blocks).

Fix this by calculating the emeta start by iterating backwards
through the line, skipping ppas that map to bad blocks.

Also fix the data types used for ppa indices/counts in
pblk_recov_l2p_from_emeta - we should use u64.

Javier González 21d2287119 lightnvm: pblk: enable 1 LUN configuration
Metadata I/Os are scheduled to minimize their impact on user data I/Os.
When there are enough LUNs instantiated (i.e., enough bandwidth), it is
easy to interleave metadata and data one after the other so that
metadata I/Os are the ones being blocked and not vice-versa.

We do this by calculating the distance between the I/Os in terms of the
LUNs that are not in used, and selecting a free LUN that satisfies a
the simple heuristic that metadata is scheduled behind. The per-LUN
semaphores guarantee consistency. This works fine on >1 LUN
configuration. However, when a single LUN is instantiated, this design
leads to a deadlock, where metadata waits to be scheduled on a free LUN.

This patch implements the 1 LUN case by simply scheduling the metadada
I/O after the data I/O. In the process, we refactor the way a line is
replaced to ensure that metadata writes are submitted after data writes
in order to guarantee block sequentiality. Note that, since there is
only one LUN, both I/Os will block each other by design. However, such
configuration only pursues tight read latencies, not write bandwidth.

pblk schedules user I/O, metadata I/O and erases on the write path in
order to minimize collisions at the media level. Until now, there has
been a dependency between user and metadata I/Os that could lead to a

This path removes this dependency and guarantees forward progress at a
per I/O granurality.

Javier González 7bd4d370db lightnvm: pblk: guarantee line integrity on reads
When a line is recycled during garbage collection, reads can still be
issued to the line. If the line is freed in the middle of this process,
data corruption might occur.

This patch guarantees that lines are not freed in the middle of reads
that target them (lines). Specifically, we use the existing line
reference to decide when a line is eligible for being freed after the
recycle process.

Javier González a4809fee4e lightnvm: pblk: check lba sanity on read path
As part of pblk's recovery scheme, we store the lba mapped to each
physical sector on the device's out-of-bound (OOB) area.

On the read path, we can use this information to validate that the data
being delivered to the upper layers corresponds to the lba being
requested. The cost of this check is an extra copy on the DMA region on
the device and an extra comparison in the host, given that (i) the OOB
area is being read together with the data in the media, and (ii) the DMA
region allocated for the ppa list can be reused for the metadata stored
on the OOB area.

Javier González e2cddf2082 lightnvm: pblk: improve naming for internal req.
Each request type sent to the LightNVM subsystem requires different
metadata. Until now, we have tailored this metadata based on write, read
and erase commands. However, pblk uses different metadata for internal
writes that do not hit the write buffer. Instead of abusing the metadata
for reads, create a new request type - internal write to improve
code readability.

In the process, create internal values for each I/O type instead of
abusing the READ/WRITE macros, as suggested by Christoph.

Javier González d340121eb7 lightnvm: pblk: simplify data validity check on GC
When a line is selected for recycling by the garbage collector (GC), the
line state changes and the invalid bitmap is frozen, preventing
invalidations from happening. Throughout the GC, the L2P map is checked
to verify that not data being recycled has been updated. The last check
is done before the new map is being stored on the L2P table. Though
this algorithm works, it requires a number of corner cases to be checked
each time the L2P table is being updated. This complicates readability
and is error prone in case that the recycling algorithm is modified.

Instead, this patch makes the invalid bitmap accessible even when the
line is being recycled. When recycled data is being remapped, it is
enough to check the invalid bitmap for the line before updating the L2P
table.

pblk holds two sector bitmaps: one to keep track of the mapped sectors
while the line is active and another one to keep track of the invalid
sectors. The latter is kept during the whole live of the line, until it

in this case, get rid of the mempool and simply allocate memory through
kmalloc.

Javier González b84ae4a8b8 lightnvm: pblk: simplify work_queue mempool
In pblk, we have a mempool to allocate a generic structure that we
pass along workqueues. This is heavily used in the GC path in order
to have enough inflight reads and fully utilize the GC bandwidth.

However, the current GC path copies data to the host memory and puts it
back into the write buffer. This requires a vmalloc allocation for the
data and a memory copy. Thus, guaranteeing the allocation by using a
mempool for the structure in itself does not give us much. Until we
implement support for vector copy to avoid moving data through the host,
just allocate the workqueue structure using kmalloc.

This allows us to have a much smaller mempool.

Javier González bd43241768 lightnvm: pblk: fix min size for page mempool
pblk uses an internal page mempool for allocating pages on internal
bios. The main two users of this memory pool are partial reads (reads
with some sectors in cache and some on media) and padded writes, which
need to add dummy pages to an existing bio already containing valid
data (and with a large enough bioset allocated). In both cases, the
maximum number of pages per bio is defined by the maximum number of
physical sectors supported by the underlying device.

This patch fixes a bad mempool allocation, where the min_nr of elements
on the pool was fixed (to 16), which is lower than the maximum number
of sectors supported by NVMe (as of the time for this patch). Instead,
use the maximum number of allowed sectors reported by the device.

When a REQ_FLUSH reaches pblk, the bio cannot be directly completed.
Instead, data on the write buffer is flushed and the bio is completed on
the completion pah. This might require some sectors to be padded in
order to guarantee a successful write.

This patch fixes a memory leak on the padded pages. A consequence of
this bad free was that internal bios not containing data (only a flush)
were not being completed.
