      Return EBUSY from BLKRRPART for mounted whole-dev fs · 77032ca6
      Eric Sandeen 提交于
      Today, blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sda will fail with EBUSY if any
      partition of sda is mounted (and will fail with EINVAL if pointed
      at a partition).  But it will pass if the entire block device is
      formatted with a filesystem and mounted.  I don't think this makes
      sense; partitioning should surely not ever change out from under
      a mounted device.
      
      So check for bdev->bd_super, and fail that with -EBUSY as well.

      Thanks for report! After some investigation I found out we allocate
      elevator specific data in __get_request() only for non-flush requests. And
      this is actually required since the flush machinery uses the space in
      struct request for something else. Doh. So my patch is just wrong and not
      easy to fix since at the time __get_request() is called we are not sure
      whether the flush machinery will be used in the end. Jens, please revert
      1b2ff19e. Thanks!
      
      I'm somewhat surprised that you can reliably hit the race where flushing
      gets disabled for the device just while the request is in flight. But I
      guess during boot it makes some sense.
      
      --
      
      So let's just revert it, we can fix the queue run manually after the
      fact. This race is rare enough that it didn't trigger in testing, it
      requires the specific disable-while-in-flight scenario to trigger.

      KVM: nVMX: remove incorrect vpid check in nested invvpid emulation · b2467e74
      Haozhong Zhang 提交于
      This patch removes the vpid check when emulating nested invvpid
      instruction of type all-contexts invalidation. The existing code is
      incorrect because:
       (1) According to Intel SDM Vol 3, Section "INVVPID - Invalidate
           Translations Based on VPID", invvpid instruction does not check
           vpid in the invvpid descriptor when its type is all-contexts
           invalidation.
       (2) According to the same document, invvpid of type all-contexts
           invalidation does not require there is an active VMCS, so/and
           get_vmcs12() in the existing code may result in a NULL-pointer
           dereference. In practice, it can crash both KVM itself and L1
           hypervisors that use invvpid (e.g. Xen).

      NVMe: default to 4k device page size · c5c9f25b
      Nishanth Aravamudan 提交于
      We received a bug report recently when DDW (64-bit direct DMA on Power)
      is not enabled for NVMe devices. In that case, we fall back to 32-bit
      DMA via the IOMMU, which is always done via 4K TCEs (Translation Control
      Entries).
      
      The NVMe device driver, though, assumes that the DMA alignment for the
      PRP entries will match the device's page size, and that the DMA aligment
      matches the kernel's page aligment. On Power, the the IOMMU page size,
      as mentioned above, can be 4K, while the device can have a page size of
      8K, while the kernel has a page size of 64K. This eventually trips the
      BUG_ON in nvme_setup_prps(), as we have a 'dma_len' that is a multiple
      of 4K but not 8K (e.g., 0xF000).
      
      In this particular case of page sizes, we clearly want to use the
      IOMMU's page size in the driver. And generally, the NVMe driver in this
      function should be using the IOMMU's page size for the default device
      page size, rather than the kernel's page size. There is not currently an
      API to obtain the IOMMU's page size across all architectures and in the
      interest of a stop-gap fix to this functional issue, default the NVMe
      device page size to 4K, with the intent of adding such an API and
      implementation across all architectures in the next merge window.
      
      With the functionally equivalent v3 of this patch, our hardware test
      exerciser survives when using 32-bit DMA; without the patch, the kernel
      will BUG within a few minutes.

      Christoffer Dall 提交于
      We were incorrectly removing the active state from the physical
      distributor on the timer interrupt when the timer output level was
      deasserted.  We shouldn't be doing this without considering the virtual
      interrupt's active state, because the architecture requires that when an
      LR has the HW bit set and the pending or active bits set, then the
      physical interrupt must also have the corresponding bits set.
      
      This addresses an issue where we have been observing an inconsistency
      between the LR state and the physical distributor state where the LR
      state was active and the physical distributor was not active, which
      shouldn't happen.

      arm64: KVM: Fix AArch32 to AArch64 register mapping · c0f09634
      Marc Zyngier 提交于
      When running a 32bit guest under a 64bit hypervisor, the ARMv8
      architecture defines a mapping of the 32bit registers in the 64bit
      space. This includes banked registers that are being demultiplexed
      over the 64bit ones.
      
      On exceptions caused by an operation involving a 32bit register, the
      HW exposes the register number in the ESR_EL2 register. It was so
      far understood that SW had to distinguish between AArch32 and AArch64
      accesses (based on the current AArch32 mode and register number).
      
      It turns out that I misinterpreted the ARM ARM, and the clue is in
      D1.20.1: "For some exceptions, the exception syndrome given in the
      ESR_ELx identifies one or more register numbers from the issued
      instruction that generated the exception. Where the exception is
      taken from an Exception level using AArch32 these register numbers
      give the AArch64 view of the register."
      
      Which means that the HW is already giving us the translated version,
      and that we shouldn't try to interpret it at all (for example, doing
      an MMIO operation from the IRQ mode using the LR register leads to
      very unexpected behaviours).
      
      The fix is thus not to perform a call to vcpu_reg32() at all from
      vcpu_reg(), and use whatever register number is supplied directly.
      The only case we need to find out about the mapping is when we
      actively generate a register access, which only occurs when injecting
      a fault in a guest.

      ARM/arm64: KVM: test properly for a PTE's uncachedness · e6fab544
      Ard Biesheuvel 提交于
      The open coded tests for checking whether a PTE maps a page as
      uncached use a flawed '(pte_val(xxx) & CONST) != CONST' pattern,
      which is not guaranteed to work since the type of a mapping is
      not a set of mutually exclusive bits
      
      For HYP mappings, the type is an index into the MAIR table (i.e, the
      index itself does not contain any information whatsoever about the
      type of the mapping), and for stage-2 mappings it is a bit field where
      normal memory and device types are defined as follows:
      
          #define MT_S2_NORMAL            0xf
          #define MT_S2_DEVICE_nGnRE      0x1
      
      I.e., masking *and* comparing with the latter matches on the former,
      and we have been getting lucky merely because the S2 device mappings
      also have the PTE_UXN bit set, or we would misidentify memory mappings
      as device mappings.
      
      Since the unmap_range() code path (which contains one instance of the
      flawed test) is used both for HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings, and
      considering the difference between the two, it is non-trivial to fix
      this by rewriting the tests in place, as it would involve passing
      down the type of mapping through all the functions.
      
      However, since HYP mappings and stage-2 mappings both deal with host
      physical addresses, we can simply check whether the mapping is backed
      by memory that is managed by the host kernel, and only perform the
      D-cache maintenance if this is the case.

      blk-merge: fix blk_bio_segment_split · 02e70742
      Ming Lei 提交于
      Commit bdced438(block: setup bi_phys_segments after
      splitting) introduces function of computing bio->bi_phys_segments
      during bio splitting.
      
      Unfortunately both bio->bi_seg_front_size and bio->bi_seg_back_size
      arn't computed, so too many physical segments may be obtained
      for one request since both the two are used to check if one segment
      across two bios can be possible.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by computing the two variables in
      blk_bio_segment_split().

      vfs: Avoid softlockups with sendfile(2) · c2489e07
      Jan Kara 提交于
      The following test program from Dmitry can cause softlockups or RCU
      stalls as it copies 1GB from tmpfs into eventfd and we don't have any
      scheduling point at that path in sendfile(2) implementation:
      
              int r1 = eventfd(0, 0);
              int r2 = memfd_create("", 0);
              unsigned long n = 1<<30;
              fallocate(r2, 0, 0, n);
              sendfile(r1, r2, 0, n);
      
      Add cond_resched() into __splice_from_pipe() to fix the problem.

      vfs: Make sendfile(2) killable even better · c725bfce
      Jan Kara 提交于
      Commit 296291cd (mm: make sendfile(2) killable) fixed an issue where
      sendfile(2) was doing a lot of tiny writes into a filesystem and thus
      was unkillable for a long time. However sendfile(2) can be (mis)used to
      issue lots of writes into arbitrary file descriptor such as evenfd or
      similar special file descriptors which never hit the standard filesystem
      write path and thus are still unkillable. E.g. the following example
      from Dmitry burns CPU for ~16s on my test system without possibility to
      be killed:
      
              int r1 = eventfd(0, 0);
              int r2 = memfd_create("", 0);
              unsigned long n = 1<<30;
              fallocate(r2, 0, 0, n);
              sendfile(r1, r2, 0, n);
      
      There are actually quite a few tests for pending signals in sendfile
      code however we data to write is always available none of them seems to
      trigger. So fix the problem by adding a test for pending signal into
      splice_from_pipe_next() also before the loop waiting for pipe buffers to
      be available. This should fix all the lockup issues with sendfile of the
      do-ton-of-tiny-writes nature.

      fix sysvfs symlinks · 0ebf7f10
      Al Viro 提交于
      The thing got broken back in 2002 - sysvfs does *not* have inline
      symlinks; even short ones have bodies stored in the first block
      of file.  sysv_symlink() handles that correctly; unfortunately,
      attempting to look an existing symlink up will end up confusing
      them for inline symlinks, and interpret the block number containing
      the body as the body itself.
      
      Nobody has noticed until now, which says something about the level
      of testing sysvfs gets ;-/

      dm thin: fix regression in advertised discard limits · 0fcb04d5
      Mike Snitzer 提交于
      When establishing a thin device's discard limits we cannot rely on the
      underlying thin-pool device's discard capabilities (which are inherited
      from the thin-pool's underlying data device) given that DM thin devices
      must provide discard support even when the thin-pool's underlying data
      device doesn't support discards.
      
      Users were exposed to this thin device discard limits regression if
      their thin-pool's underlying data device does _not_ support discards.
      This regression caused all upper-layers that called the
      blkdev_issue_discard() interface to not be able to issue discards to
      thin devices (because discard_granularity was 0).  This regression
      wasn't caught earlier because the device-mapper-test-suite's extensive
      'thin-provisioning' discard tests are only ever performed against
      thin-pool's with data devices that support discards.
      
      Fix is to have thin_io_hints() test the pool's 'discard_enabled' feature
      rather than inferring whether or not a thin device's discard support
      should be enabled by looking at the thin-pool's discard_granularity.
