Merge emailed kgdb dmesg fixups patches from Anton Vorontsov: "The dmesg command appears to be broken after the printk rework. The old logic in the kdb code makes no sense in terms of current printk/logging storage format, and KDB simply hangs forever upon entering 'dmesg' command. The first patch revives the command by switching to kmsg_dumper iterator. As a side-effect, the code is now much more simpler. A few changes were needed in the printk.c: we needed unlocked variant of the kmsg_dumper iterator, but these can surely wait for 3.6. It's probably too late even for the first patch to go to 3.5, but I'll try to convince otherwise. :-) Here we go: - The current code is broken for sure, and has no hope to work at all. It is a regression - The new code works for me, and probably works for everyone else; - If it compiles (and I urge everyone to compile-test it on your setup), it hardly can make things worse." * Merge emailed patches from Anton Vorontsov: (4 commits) kdb: Switch to nolock variants of kmsg_dump functions printk: Implement some unlocked kmsg_dump functions printk: Remove kdb_syslog_data kdb: Revive dmesg command

We can't guarantee that REQ_DISCARD on dm-mirror zeroes the data even if the underlying disks support zero on discard. So this patch sets ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported. For example, if the mirror is in the process of resynchronizing, it may happen that kcopyd reads a piece of data, then discard is sent on the same area and then kcopyd writes the piece of data to another leg. Consequently, the data is not zeroed. The flag was made available by commit 983c7db3 (dm crypt: always disable discard_zeroes_data).

When process_discard receives a partial discard that doesn't cover a full block, it sends this discard down to that block. Unfortunately, the block can be shared and the discard would corrupt the other snapshots sharing this block. This patch detects block sharing and ends the discard with success when sending it to the shared block. The above change means that if the device supports discard it can't be guaranteed that a discard request zeroes data. Therefore, we set ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported. Thin target discard support with this bug arrived in commit 104655fd (dm thin: support discards).

This patch fixes a crash when a discard request is sent during mirror recovery. Firstly, some background. Generally, the following sequence happens during mirror synchronization: - function do_recovery is called - do_recovery calls dm_rh_recovery_prepare - dm_rh_recovery_prepare uses a semaphore to limit the number simultaneously recovered regions (by default the semaphore value is 1, so only one region at a time is recovered) - dm_rh_recovery_prepare calls __rh_recovery_prepare, __rh_recovery_prepare asks the log driver for the next region to recover. Then, it sets the region state to DM_RH_RECOVERING. If there are no pending I/Os on this region, the region is added to quiesced_regions list. If there are pending I/Os, the region is not added to any list. It is added to the quiesced_regions list later (by dm_rh_dec function) when all I/Os finish. - when the region is on quiesced_regions list, there are no I/Os in flight on this region. The region is popped from the list in dm_rh_recovery_start function. Then, a kcopyd job is started in the recover function. - when the kcopyd job finishes, recovery_complete is called. It calls dm_rh_recovery_end. dm_rh_recovery_end adds the region to recovered_regions or failed_recovered_regions list (depending on whether the copy operation was successful or not). The above mechanism assumes that if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING state, no new I/Os are started on this region. When I/O is started, dm_rh_inc_pending is called, which increases reg->pending count. When I/O is finished, dm_rh_dec is called. It decreases reg->pending count. If the count is zero and the region was in DM_RH_RECOVERING state, dm_rh_dec adds it to the quiesced_regions list. Consequently, if we call dm_rh_inc_pending/dm_rh_dec while the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING state, it could be added to quiesced_regions list multiple times or it could be added to this list when kcopyd is copying data (it is assumed that the region is not on any list while kcopyd does its jobs). This results in memory corruption and crash. There already exist bypasses for REQ_FLUSH requests: REQ_FLUSH requests do not belong to any region, so they are always added to the sync list in do_writes. dm_rh_inc_pending does not increase count for REQ_FLUSH requests. In mirror_end_io, dm_rh_dec is never called for REQ_FLUSH requests. These bypasses avoid the crash possibility described above. These bypasses were improperly implemented for REQ_DISCARD when the mirror target gained discard support in commit 5fc2ffea (dm raid1: support discard). In do_writes, REQ_DISCARD requests is always added to the sync queue and immediately dispatched (even if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING). However, dm_rh_inc and dm_rh_dec is called for REQ_DISCARD resusts. So it violates the rule that no I/Os are started on DM_RH_RECOVERING regions, and causes the list corruption described above. This patch changes it so that REQ_DISCARD requests follow the same path as REQ_FLUSH. This avoids the crash.

It is very common for the end of the file to be unaligned on stripe size. But since we know it's beyond file's end then the XOR should be preformed with all zeros. Old code used to just read zeros out of the OSD devices, which is a great waist. But what scares me more about this situation is that, we now have pages attached to the file's mapping that are beyond i_size. I don't like the kind of bugs this calls for. Fix both birds, by returning a global zero_page, if offset is beyond i_size.

In RAID_5/6 We used to not permit an IO that it's end byte is not stripe_size aligned and spans more than one stripe. .i.e the caller must check if after submission the actual transferred bytes is shorter, and would need to resubmit a new IO with the remainder. Exofs supports this, and NFS was supposed to support this as well with it's short write mechanism. But late testing has exposed a CRASH when this is used with none-RPC layout-drivers. The change at NFS is deep and risky, in it's place the fix at ORE to lift the limitation is actually clean and simple. So here it is below. The principal here is that in the case of unaligned IO on both ends, beginning and end, we will send two read requests one like old code, before the calculation of the first stripe, and also a new site, before the calculation of the last stripe. If any "boundary" is aligned or the complete IO is within a single stripe. we do a single read like before. The code is clean and simple by splitting the old _read_4_write into 3 even parts: 1._read_4_write_first_stripe 2. _read_4_write_last_stripe 3. _read_4_write_execute And calling 1+3 at the same place as before. 2+3 before last stripe, and in the case of all in a single stripe then 1+2+3 is preformed additively. Why did I not think of it before. Well I had a strike of genius because I have stared at this code for 2 years, and did not find this simple solution, til today. Not that I did not try. This solution is much better for NFS than the previous supposedly solution because the short write was dealt with out-of-band after IO_done, which would cause for a seeky IO pattern where as in here we execute in order. At both solutions we do 2 separate reads, only here we do it within a single IO request. (And actually combine two writes into a single submission) NFS/exofs code need not change since the ORE API communicates the new shorter length on return, what will happen is that this case would not occur anymore. hurray!!
