c0820cf dm: introduce per_bio_data Introduce a field per_bio_data_size in struct dm_target. Targets can set this field in the constructor. If a target sets this field to a non-zero value, "per_bio_data_size" bytes of auxiliary data are allocated for each bio submitted to the target. These data can be used for any purpose by the target and help us improve performance by removing some per-target mempools. Per-bio data is accessed with dm_per_bio_data. The argument data_size must be the same as the value per_bio_data_size in dm_target. If the target has a pointer to per_bio_data, it can get a pointer to the bio with dm_bio_from_per_bio_data() function (data_size must be the same as the value passed to dm_per_bio_data).

70d6c40 dm kcopyd: add WRITE SAME support to dm_kcopyd_zero Add WRITE SAME support to dm-io and make it accessible to dm_kcopyd_zero(). dm_kcopyd_zero() provides an asynchronous interface whereas the blkdev_issue_write_same() interface is synchronous. WRITE SAME is a SCSI command that can be leveraged for more efficient zeroing of a specified logical extent of a device which supports it. Only a single zeroed logical block is transfered to the target for each WRITE SAME and the target then writes that same block across the specified extent. The dm thin target uses this.

e808807 dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block There is a race when discard bios and non-discard bios are issued simultaneously to the same block. Discard support is expensive for all thin devices precisely because you have to be careful to quiesce the area you're discarding. DM thin must handle this conflicting IO pattern (simultaneous non-discard vs discard) even though a sane application shouldn't be issuing such IO. The race manifests as follows: 1. A non-discard bio is mapped in thin_bio_map. This doesn't lock out parallel activity to the same block. 2. A discard bio is issued to the same block as the non-discard bio. 3. The discard bio is locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_discard to lock out parallel activity against the same block. 4. The non-discard bio's mapping continues and its all_io_entry is incremented so the bio is accounted for in the thin pool's all_io_ds which is a dm_deferred_set used to track time locality of non-discard IO. 5. The non-discard bio is finally locked in a dm_bio_prison_cell in process_bio. The race can result in deadlock, leaving the block layer hanging waiting for completion of a discard bio that never completes, e.g.: INFO: task ruby:15354 blocked for more than 120 seconds. "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message. ruby D ffffffff8160f0e0 0 15354 15314 0x00000000 ffff8802fb08bc58 0000000000000082 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08a010 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 0000000000012900 ffff8802fb08bfd8 0000000000012900 ffff8803324b9480 ffff88032c6f14c0 Call Trace: [<ffffffff814e5a19>] schedule+0x29/0x70 [<ffffffff814e3d85>] schedule_timeout+0x195/0x220 [<ffffffffa06b9bc1>] ? _dm_request+0x111/0x160 [dm_mod] [<ffffffff814e589e>] wait_for_common+0x11e/0x190 [<ffffffff8107a170>] ? try_to_wake_up+0x2b0/0x2b0 [<ffffffff814e59ed>] wait_for_completion+0x1d/0x20 [<ffffffff81233289>] blkdev_issue_discard+0x219/0x260 [<ffffffff81233e79>] blkdev_ioctl+0x6e9/0x7b0 [<ffffffff8119a65c>] block_ioctl+0x3c/0x40 [<ffffffff8117539c>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x8c/0x340 [<ffffffff8119a547>] ? block_llseek+0x67/0xb0 [<ffffffff811756f1>] sys_ioctl+0xa1/0xb0 [<ffffffff810561f6>] ? sys_rt_sigprocmask+0x86/0xd0 [<ffffffff814ef099>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b The thinp-test-suite's test_discard_random_sectors reliably hits this deadlock on fast SSD storage. The fix for this race is that the all_io_entry for a bio must be incremented whilst the dm_bio_prison_cell is held for the bio's associated virtual and physical blocks. That cell locking wasn't occurring early enough in thin_bio_map. This patch fixes this. Care is taken to always call the new function inc_all_io_entry() with the relevant cells locked, but they are generally unlocked before calling issue() to try to avoid holding the cells locked across generic_submit_request. Also, now that thin_bio_map may lock bios in a cell, process_bio() is no longer the only thread that will do so. Because of this we must be sure to use cell_defer_except() to release all non-holder entries, that were added by the other thread, because they must be deferred. This patch depends on "dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_except".

b7ca9c9 dm thin: replace dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_except Change existing users of the function dm_cell_release_singleton to share cell_defer_except instead, and then remove the now-unused function. Everywhere that calls dm_cell_release_singleton, the bio in question is the holder of the cell. If there are no non-holder entries in the cell then cell_defer_except behaves exactly like dm_cell_release_singleton. Conversely, if there *are* non-holder entries then dm_cell_release_singleton must not be used because those entries would need to be deferred. Consequently, it is safe to replace use of dm_cell_release_singleton with cell_defer_except. This patch is a pre-requisite for "dm thin: fix race between simultaneous io and discards to same block".

e910d7e dm ioctl: prevent unsafe change to dm_ioctl data_size Abort dm ioctl processing if userspace changes the data_size parameter after we validated it but before we finished copying the data buffer from userspace. The dm ioctl parameters are processed in the following sequence: 1. ctl_ioctl() calls copy_params(); 2. copy_params() makes a first copy of the fixed-sized portion of the userspace parameters into the local variable "tmp"; 3. copy_params() then validates tmp.data_size and allocates a new structure big enough to hold the complete data and copies the whole userspace buffer there; 4. ctl_ioctl() reads userspace data the second time and copies the whole buffer into the pointer "param"; 5. ctl_ioctl() reads param->data_size without any validation and stores it in the variable "input_param_size"; 6. "input_param_size" is further used as the authoritative size of the kernel buffer. The problem is that userspace code could change the contents of user memory between steps 2 and 4. In particular, the data_size parameter can be changed to an invalid value after the kernel has validated it. This lets userspace force the kernel to access invalid kernel memory. The fix is to ensure that the size has not changed at step 4. This patch shouldn't have a security impact because CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to run this code, but it should be fixed anyway.

891348c SGI-XP: handle non-fatal traps We found a user code which was raising a divide-by-zero trap. That trap would lead to XPC connections between system-partitions being torn down due to the die_chain notifier callouts it received. This also revealed a different issue where multiple callers into xpc_die_deactivate() would all attempt to do the disconnect in parallel which would sometimes lock up but often overwhelm the console on very large machines as each would print at least one line of output at the end of the deactivate. I reviewed all the users of the die_chain notifier and changed the code to ignore the notifier callouts for reasons which will not actually lead to a system to continue on to call die().

c4e1849 linux/kernel.h: fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST with unsigned divisors Commit 263a523d18bc ("linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST") fixes a warning seen with W=1 due to change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST. Unfortunately, the C compiler converts divide operations with unsigned divisors to unsigned, even if the dividend is signed and negative (for example, -10 / 5U = 858993457). The C standard says "If one operand has unsigned int type, the other operand is converted to unsigned int", so the compiler is not to blame. As a result, DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U) and similar operations now return bad values, since the automatic conversion of expressions such as "0 - 2U/2" to unsigned was not taken into account. Fix by checking for the divisor variable type when deciding which operation to perform. This fixes DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(0, 2U), but still returns bad values for negative dividends divided by unsigned divisors. Mark the latter case as unsupported. One observed effect of this problem is that the s2c_hwmon driver reports a value of 4198403 instead of 0 if the ADC reads 0. Other impact is unpredictable. Problem is seen if the divisor is an unsigned variable or constant and the dividend is less than (divisor/2).

5abe257 revert "rtc: recycle id when unloading a rtc driver" Revert commit 2830a6d20139df2198d63235df7957712adb28e5. We already perform the ida_simple_remove() in rtc_device_release(), which is an appropriate place. Commit 2830a6d20 ("rtc: recycle id when unloading a rtc driver") caused the kernel to emit ida_remove called for id=0 which is not allocated. warnings when rtc_device_release() tries to release an alread-released ID. Let's restore things to their previous state and then work out why Vincent's kernel wasn't calling rtc_device_release() - presumably a bug in a specific sub-driver.

b66c598 exec: do not leave bprm->interp on stack If a series of scripts are executed, each triggering module loading via unprintable bytes in the script header, kernel stack contents can leak into the command line. Normally execution of binfmt_script and binfmt_misc happens recursively. However, when modules are enabled, and unprintable bytes exist in the bprm->buf, execution will restart after attempting to load matching binfmt modules. Unfortunately, the logic in binfmt_script and binfmt_misc does not expect to get restarted. They leave bprm->interp pointing to their local stack. This means on restart bprm->interp is left pointing into unused stack memory which can then be copied into the userspace argv areas. After additional study, it seems that both recursion and restart remains the desirable way to handle exec with scripts, misc, and modules. As such, we need to protect the changes to interp. This changes the logic to require allocation for any changes to the bprm->interp. To avoid adding a new kmalloc to every exec, the default value is left as-is. Only when passing through binfmt_script or binfmt_misc does an allocation take place.

9f9c9cb drivers/firmware/dmi_scan.c: fetch dmi version from SMBIOS if it exists The right dmi version is in SMBIOS if it's zero in DMI region This issue was originally found from an oracle bug. One customer noticed system UUID doesn't match between dmidecode & uek2. - HP ProLiant BL460c G6 : # cat /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/product_uuid 00000000-0000-4C48-3031-4D5030333531 # dmidecode | grep -i uuid UUID: 00000000-0000-484C-3031-4D5030333531 From SMBIOS 2.6 on, spec use little-endian encoding for UUID other than network byte order. So we need to get dmi version to distinguish. If version is 0.0, the real version is taken from the SMBIOS version. This is part of original kernel comment in code.

c8b74c2 mm: fix calculation of dirtyable memory The system uses global_dirtyable_memory() to calculate number of dirtyable pages/pages that can be allocated to the page cache. A bug causes an underflow thus making the page count look like a big unsigned number. This in turn confuses the dirty writeback throttling to aggressively write back pages as they become dirty (usually 1 page at a time). This generally only affects systems with highmem because the underflowed count gets subtracted from the global count of dirtyable memory. The problem was introduced with v3.2-4896-gab8fabd Fix is to ensure we don't get an underflowed total of either highmem or global dirtyable memory.
