cc8394d dm thin: provide userspace access to pool metadata This patch implements two new messages that can be sent to the thin pool target allowing it to take a snapshot of the _metadata_. This, read-only snapshot can be accessed by userland, concurrently with the live target. Only one metadata snapshot can be held at a time. The pool's status line will give the block location for the current msnap. Since version 0.1.5 of the userland thin provisioning tools, the thin_dump program displays the msnap as follows: thin_dump -m <msnap root> <metadata dev> Available here: https://github.com/jthornber/thin-provisioning-tools Now that userland can access the metadata we can do various things that have traditionally been kernel side tasks: i) Incremental backups. By using metadata snapshots we can work out what blocks have changed over time. Combined with data snapshots we can ensure the data doesn't change while we back it up. A short proof of concept script can be found here: https://github.com/jthornber/thinp-test-suite/blob/master/incremental_backup_example.rb ii) Migration of thin devices from one pool to another. iii) Merging snapshots back into an external origin. iv) Asyncronous replication.

3599165 dm mpath: allow ioctls to trigger pg init After the failure of a group of paths, any alternative paths that need initialising do not become available until further I/O is sent to the device. Until this has happened, ioctls return -EAGAIN. With this patch, new paths are made available in response to an ioctl too. The processing of the ioctl gets delayed until this has happened. Instead of returning an error, we submit a work item to kmultipathd (that will potentially activate the new path) and retry in ten milliseconds. Note that the patch doesn't retry an ioctl if the ioctl itself fails due to a path failure. Such retries should be handled intelligently by the code that generated the ioctl in the first place, noting that some SCSI commands should not be retried because they are not idempotent (XOR write commands). For commands that could be retried, there is a danger that if the device rejected the SCSI command, the path could be errorneously marked as failed, and the request would be retried on another path which might fail too. It can be determined if the failure happens on the device or on the SCSI controller, but there is no guarantee that all SCSI drivers set these flags correctly.

f220fd4 dm mpath: delay retry of bypassed pg If I/O needs retrying and only bypassed priority groups are available, set the pg_init_delay_retry flag to wait before retrying. If, for example, the reason for the bypass is that the controller is getting reset or there is a firmware upgrade happening, retrying right away would cause a flood of log messages and retries for what could be a few seconds or even several minutes.

4fc3acf Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) Make syn floods consume significantly less resources by a) Not pre-COW'ing routing metrics for SYN/ACKs b) Mirroring the device queue mapping of the SYN for the SYN/ACK reply. Both from Eric Dumazet. 2) Fix calculation errors in Byte Queue Limiting, from Hiroaki SHIMODA. 3) Validate the length requested when building a paged SKB for a socket, so we don't overrun the page vector accidently. From Jason Wang. 4) When netlabel is disabled, we abort all IP option processing when we see a CIPSO option. This isn't the right thing to do, we should simply skip over it and continue processing the remaining options (if any). Fix from Paul Moore. 5) SRIOV fixes for the mellanox driver from Jack orgenstein and Marcel Apfelbaum. 6) 8139cp enables the receiver before the ring address is properly programmed, which potentially lets the device crap over random memory. Fix from Jason Wang. 7) e1000/e1000e fixes for i217 RST handling, and an improper buffer address reference in jumbo RX frame processing from Bruce Allan and Sebastian Andrzej Siewior, respectively. * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: fec_mpc52xx: fix timestamp filtering mcs7830: Implement link state detection e1000e: fix Rapid Start Technology support for i217 e1000: look into the page instead of skb->data for e1000_tbi_adjust_stats() r8169: call netif_napi_del at errpaths and at driver unload tcp: reflect SYN queue_mapping into SYNACK packets tcp: do not create inetpeer on SYNACK message 8139cp/8139too: terminate the eeprom access with the right opmode 8139cp: set ring address before enabling receiver cipso: handle CIPSO options correctly when NetLabel is disabled net: sock: validate data_len before allocating skb in sock_alloc_send_pskb() bql: Avoid possible inconsistent calculation. bql: Avoid unneeded limit decrement. bql: Fix POSDIFF() to integer overflow aware. net/mlx4_core: Fix obscure mlx4_cmd_box parameter in QUERY_DEV_CAP net/mlx4_core: Check port out-of-range before using in mlx4_slave_cap net/mlx4_core: Fixes for VF / Guest startup flow net/mlx4_en: Fix improper use of "port" parameter in mlx4_en_event net/mlx4_core: Fix number of EQs used in ICM initialisation net/mlx4_core: Fix the slave_id out-of-range test in mlx4_eq_int 02 June 2012, 23:22:51 UTC

233e562 Merge 'for-linus' branches from git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/{vfs,signal} Pull vfs fix and a fix from the signal changes for frv from Al Viro. The __kernel_nlink_t for powerpc got scrogged because 64-bit powerpc actually depended on the default "unsigned long", while 32-bit powerpc had an explicit override to "unsigned short". Al didn't notice, and made both of them be the unsigned short. The frv signal fix is fallout from simplifying the do_notify_resume() code, and leaving an extra parenthesis. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: powerpc: Fix size of st_nlink on 64bit * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal: frv: Remove bogus closing parenthesis 02 June 2012, 16:03:54 UTC

8b8c0da nls: fix (and rename) mac NLS table files and config options The config options in the Kconfig file (with _CODEPAGE_ in the name) didn't match the config option name in the Makefile (no _CODEPAGE_). And both of them were of the hard-to-read MACXYZZY variety, which made them hard to parse for normal humans: MACROMAN easily reads as "macro man", not as "Mac Roman". So rename the options to be consistent, and be NLS_MAC_xyzzy. Rename the files to be mac-xyzzy.c too, and drop the "nls" part entirely (it's already in the directory name).

bad1a75 x86, x32, ptrace: Remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL for x32 When I added x32 ptrace to 3.4 kernel, I also include PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL support for x32 GDB For ARCH_GET_FS/GS, it takes a pointer to int64. But at user level, ARCH_GET_FS/GS takes a pointer to int32. So I have to add x32 ptrace to glibc to handle it with a temporary int64 passed to kernel and copy it back to GDB as int32. Roland suggested that PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL is obsolete and x32 GDB should use fs_base and gs_base fields of user_regs_struct instead. Accordingly, remove PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL completely from the x32 code to avoid possible memory overrun when pointer to int32 is passed to kernel.

fff3269 tcp: reflect SYN queue_mapping into SYNACK packets While testing how linux behaves on SYNFLOOD attack on multiqueue device (ixgbe), I found that SYNACK messages were dropped at Qdisc level because we send them all on a single queue. Obvious choice is to reflect incoming SYN packet @queue_mapping to SYNACK packet. Under stress, my machine could only send 25.000 SYNACK per second (for 200.000 incoming SYN per second).

20e2a86 cipso: handle CIPSO options correctly when NetLabel is disabled When NetLabel is not enabled, e.g. CONFIG_NETLABEL=n, and the system receives a CIPSO tagged packet it is dropped (cipso_v4_validate() returns non-zero). In most cases this is the correct and desired behavior, however, in the case where we are simply forwarding the traffic, e.g. acting as a network bridge, this becomes a problem. This patch fixes the forwarding problem by providing the basic CIPSO validation code directly in ip_options_compile() without the need for the NetLabel or CIPSO code. The new validation code can not perform any of the CIPSO option label/value verification that cipso_v4_validate() does, but it can verify the basic CIPSO option format. The behavior when NetLabel is enabled is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Paul Moore <pmoore@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> 01 June 2012, 18:18:29 UTC

44fbbb3 x86: get rid of calling do_notify_resume() when returning to kernel mode If we end up calling do_notify_resume() with !user_mode(refs), it does nothing (do_signal() explicitly bails out and we can't get there with TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME in such situations). Then we jump to resume_userspace_sig, which rechecks the same thing and bails out to resume_kernel, thus breaking the loop. It's easier and cheaper to check *before* calling do_notify_resume() and bail out to resume_kernel immediately. And kill the check in do_signal()... Note that on amd64 we can't get there with !user_mode() at all - asm glue takes care of that.

All architectures converted to it; block_sigmask() itself is gone now (merged into this one). I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate story (IMO we need a structure that would contain signal number + siginfo + k_sigaction, so that get_signal_to_deliver() would fill one, signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() - take one).

0ef97dc nfs: don't open in ->d_revalidate NFSv4 can't do reliable opens in d_revalidate, since it cannot know whether a mount needs to be followed or not. It does check d_mountpoint() on the dentry, which can result in a weird error if the VFS found that the mount does not in fact need to be followed, e.g.: # mount --bind /mnt/nfs /mnt/nfs-clone # echo something > /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar # echo x > /tmp/file # mount --bind /tmp/file /mnt/nfs-clone/tmp/bar # cat /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar cat: /mnt/nfs/tmp/bar: Not a directory Which should, by any sane filesystem, result in "something" being printed. So instead do the open in f_op->open() and in the unlikely case that the cached dentry turned out to be invalid, drop the dentry and return EOPENSTALE to let the VFS retry.

16b1c1c vfs: retry last component if opening stale dentry NFS optimizes away d_revalidates for last component of open. This means that open itself can find the dentry stale. This patch allows the filesystem to return EOPENSTALE and the VFS will retry the lookup on just the last component if possible. If the lookup was done using RCU mode, including the last component, then this is not possible since the parent dentry is lost. In this case fall back to non-RCU lookup.

0c75966 x86, efi: Add EFI boot stub documentation Since we can't expect every user to read the EFI boot stub code it seems prudent to have a couple of paragraphs explaining what it is and how it works. The "initrd=" option in particular is tricky because it only understands absolute EFI-style paths (backslashes as directory separators), and until now this hasn't been documented anywhere. This has tripped up a couple of users.

9fa7ded x86, efi; Add EFI boot stub console support We need a way of printing useful messages to the user, for example when we fail to open an initrd file, instead of just hanging the machine without giving the user any indication of what went wrong.

30dc0d0 x86, efi: Only close open files in error path The loop at the 'close_handles' label in handle_ramdisks() should be using 'i', which represents the number of initrd files that were successfully opened, not 'nr_initrds' which is the number of initrd= arguments passed on the command line. Currently, if we execute the loop to close all file handles and we failed to open any initrds we'll try to call the close function on a garbage pointer, causing the machine to hang.

e41f941 Btrfs: move over to use ->update_time Btrfs had been doing it's own file_update_time so we could catch ENOSPC properly, so just update our btrfs_update_time to work with the new stuff and then we'll be fancy later.

c3b2da3 fs: introduce inode operation ->update_time Btrfs has to make sure we have space to allocate new blocks in order to modify the inode, so updating time can fail. We've gotten around this by having our own file_update_time but this is kind of a pain, and Christoph has indicated he would like to make xfs do something different with atime updates. So introduce ->update_time, where we will deal with i_version an a/m/c time updates and indicate which changes need to be made. The normal version just does what it has always done, updates the time and marks the inode dirty, and then filesystems can choose to do something different. I've gone through all of the users of file_update_time and made them check for errors with the exception of the fault code since it's complicated and I wasn't quite sure what to do there, also Jan is going to be pushing the file time updates into page_mkwrite for those who have it so that should satisfy btrfs and make it not a big deal to check the file_update_time() return code in the generic fault path.

51eab60 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason: "This includes a fairly large change from Josef around data writeback completion. Before, the writeback wasn't completed until the metadata insertions for the extent were done, and this made for fairly large latency spikes on the last page of each ordered extent. We already had a separate mechanism for tracking pending metadata insertions, so Josef just needed to tweak things a little to end writeback earlier on the page. Overall it makes us much friendly to memory reclaim and lowers latencies quite a lot for synchronous IO. Jan Schmidt has finished some background work required to track btree blocks as they go through changes in ownership. It's the missing piece he needed for both btrfs send/receive and subvolume quotas. Neither of those are ready yet, but the new tracking code is included here. Most of the time, the new code is off. It is only used by scrub and other backref walkers. Stefan Behrens has added io failure tracking. This includes counters for which drives are causing the most trouble so the admin (or an automated tool) can choose to kick them out. We're tracking IO errors, crc errors, and generation checks we do on each metadata block. RAID5/6 did miss the cut this time because I'm having trouble with corruptions.

033369d reiserfs: get rid of resierfs_sync_super This patch stops reiserfs using the VFS 'write_super()' method along with the s_dirt flag, because they are on their way out. The whole "superblock write-out" VFS infrastructure is served by the 'sync_supers()' kernel thread, which wakes up every 5 (by default) seconds and writes out all dirty superblock using the '->write_super()' call-back. But the problem with this thread is that it wastes power by waking up the system every 5 seconds, even if there are no diry superblocks, or there are no client file-systems which would need this (e.g., btrfs does not use '->write_super()'). So we want to kill it completely and thus, we need to make file-systems to stop using the '->write_super()' VFS service, and then remove it together with the kernel thread.

5c5fd81 reiserfs: mark the superblock as dirty a bit later The 'journal_mark_dirty()' function currently first marks the superblock as dirty by setting 's_dirt' to 1, then does various sanity checks and returns, then actuall does all the magic with the journal. This is not an ideal order, though. It makes more sense to first do all the checks, then do all the internal stuff, and at the end notify the VFS that the superblock is now dirty.
