      dm cache: reduce bio front_pad size in writeback mode · 19b0092e
      Mike Snitzer 提交于
      A recent patch to fix the dm cache target's writethrough mode extended
      the bio's front_pad to include a 1056-byte struct dm_bio_details.
      Writeback mode doesn't need this, so this patch reduces the
      per_bio_data_size to 16 bytes in this case instead of 1096.
      
      The dm_bio_details structure was added in "dm cache: fix writes to
      cache device in writethrough mode" which fixed commit e2e74d61 ("dm
      cache: fix race in writethrough implementation").  In writeback mode
      we avoid allocating the writethrough-specific members of the
      per_bio_data structure (the dm_bio_details structure included).

      dm cache: fix writes to cache device in writethrough mode · b844fe69
      Darrick J. Wong 提交于
      The dm-cache writethrough strategy introduced by commit e2e74d61
      ("dm cache: fix race in writethrough implementation") issues a bio to
      the origin device, remaps and then issues the bio to the cache device.
      This more conservative in-series approach was selected to favor
      correctness over performance (of the previous parallel writethrough).
      However, this in-series implementation that reuses the same bio to write
      both the origin and cache device didn't take into account that the block
      layer's req_bio_endio() modifies a completing bio's bi_sector and
      bi_size.  So the new writethrough strategy needs to preserve these bio
      fields, and restore them before submission to the cache device,
      otherwise nothing gets written to the cache (because bi_size is 0).
      
      This patch adds a struct dm_bio_details field to struct per_bio_data,
      and uses dm_bio_record() and dm_bio_restore() to ensure the bio is
      restored before reissuing to the cache device.  Adding such a large
      structure to the per_bio_data is not ideal but we can improve this
      later, for now correctness is the important thing.
      
      This problem initially went unnoticed because the dm-cache test-suite
      uses a linear DM device for the dm-cache device's origin device.
      Writethrough worked as expected because DM submits a *clone* of the
      original bio, so the original bio which was reused for the cache was
      never touched.

      MIPS: Delete definition of SA_RESTORER. · 80fa8181
      Ralf Baechle 提交于
      SA_RESTORER used to be defined as 0x04000000 but only the O32 ABI ever
      supported its use and no libc was using it, so the entire sa-restorer
      functionality was removed with lmo commit 39bffc12c3580ab [Zap sa_restorer.]
      for 2.5.48 retaining only the SA_RESTORER definition as a reminder to avoid
      accidental reuse of the mask bit.
      
      Upstream cdef9602fbf1871a43f0f1b5cea10dd0f275167d [signal: always clear
      sa_restorer on execve] adds code that assumes sa_sigaction has an
      sa_restorer field, if SA_RESTORER is defined which would break MIPS.
      So remove the SA_RESTORER definition before the v3.8.4 merge.
