      [SCSI] libsas: sgpio write support · 8ec6552f
      Dan Williams 提交于
      Add SFF-8485 v0.7 / SAS-1 smp-write-gpio register support to libsas.
      Defer SAS-2 support unless/until it defines an sgpio interface.
      
      Minimum implementation needed to get the lights blinking.
      try_test_sas_gpio_gp_bit() provides a common method to parse the
      incoming write data (raw bitstream), and the to_sas_gpio_gp_bit() helper
      routine can be used as a basis for the set/clear operations for the
      'read' implementation.  Host implementations parse as many bits
      (ODx.[012]) as are locally supported and report the number of registers
      successfully written.  If the submitted data overruns the internal
      number of registers available report the write as a success with the
      number of bytes remaining reported in ->resid_len.
      
      Example (assuming an active backplane) set the "identify" pattern for
      the first 21 devices:
      
      smp_write_gpio --count=2 --data=92,49,24,92,24,92,49,24 -t 4 --index=1 /dev/bsg/sas_hostX

      [SCSI] genhd: add a new attribute "alias" in gendisk · a72c5e5e
      Nao Nishijima 提交于
      This patch allows the user to set an "alias" of the disk via sysfs interface.
      
      This patch only adds a new attribute "alias" in gendisk structure.
      To show the alias instead of the device name in kernel messages,
      we need to revise printk messages and use alias_name() in them.
      
      Example:
      (current) printk("disk name is %s\n", disk->disk_name);
      (new)     printk("disk name is %s\n", alias_name(disk));
      
      Users can use alphabets, numbers, '-' and '_' in "alias" attribute. A disk can
      have an "alias" which length is up to 255 bytes. This attribute is write-once.

      [SCSI] scsi scan: don't fail scans when host is in recovery · 76e4e12f
      Mike Christie 提交于
      The problem is that if we are doing a scsi scan then the device goes
      into recovery then we will wait for the recovery to complete. It waits
      because scsi-ml will send inquiries or report luns and the queueing code
      will have been blocked due to the host not being ready. However, if we
      are in recovery and then a scan is started the scan will silently fail
      and some devices will not be added.
      
      It is easy to hit the problem where devices do not show up with
      FC where we are doing tests that disrupt the target controllers.
      When the controller is disruprted (reboot, or setting firmware, etc),
      and we cause the dev loss tmo to fire then devices will be removed
      Then when the problem has been fixed, the rport will be scanned and
      devices should be added back. But if we cause another disruption before
      scanning has started then devices will not get added back. If the problem
      is not started until the scan is started then the devices will be added
      back.
      
      This patch fixes that problem by not failing scans when the host
      is in recovery. We will let scsi-ml send the IO and let the queueing
      and scsi error handling deal with it like is done if we went into
      recovery while scanning.
      
      For recovery cases where the host is being torn down then with the
      patch we will still fail the scan since there is not point in scanning.

      block: fix flush machinery for stacking drivers with differring flush flags · 4853abaa
      Jeff Moyer 提交于
      Commit ae1b1539, block: reimplement
      FLUSH/FUA to support merge, introduced a performance regression when
      running any sort of fsyncing workload using dm-multipath and certain
      storage (in our case, an HP EVA).  The test I ran was fs_mark, and it
      dropped from ~800 files/sec on ext4 to ~100 files/sec.  It turns out
      that dm-multipath always advertised flush+fua support, and passed
      commands on down the stack, where those flags used to get stripped off.
      The above commit changed that behavior:
      
      static inline struct request *__elv_next_request(struct request_queue *q)
      {
              struct request *rq;
      
              while (1) {
      -               while (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
      +               if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) {
                              rq = list_entry_rq(q->queue_head.next);
      -                       if (!(rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA)) ||
      -                           (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH_SEQ))
      -                               return rq;
      -                       rq = blk_do_flush(q, rq);
      -                       if (rq)
      -                               return rq;
      +                       return rq;
                      }
      
      Note that previously, a command would come in here, have
      REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA set, and then get handed off to blk_do_flush:
      
      struct request *blk_do_flush(struct request_queue *q, struct request *rq)
      {
              unsigned int fflags = q->flush_flags; /* may change, cache it */
              bool has_flush = fflags & REQ_FLUSH, has_fua = fflags & REQ_FUA;
              bool do_preflush = has_flush && (rq->cmd_flags & REQ_FLUSH);
              bool do_postflush = has_flush && !has_fua && (rq->cmd_flags &
              REQ_FUA);
              unsigned skip = 0;
      ...
              if (blk_rq_sectors(rq) && !do_preflush && !do_postflush) {
                      rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FLUSH;
      		if (!has_fua)
      			rq->cmd_flags &= ~REQ_FUA;
      	        return rq;
      	}
      
      So, the flush machinery was bypassed in such cases (q->flush_flags == 0
      && rq->cmd_flags & (REQ_FLUSH|REQ_FUA)).
      
      Now, however, we don't get into the flush machinery at all.  Instead,
      __elv_next_request just hands a request with flush and fua bits set to
      the scsi_request_fn, even if the underlying request_queue does not
      support flush or fua.
      
      The agreed upon approach is to fix the flush machinery to allow
      stacking.  While this isn't used in practice (since there is only one
      request-based dm target, and that target will now reflect the flush
      flags of the underlying device), it does future-proof the solution, and
      make it function as designed.
      
      In order to make this work, I had to add a field to the struct request,
      inside the flush structure (to store the original req->end_io).  Shaohua
      had suggested overloading the union with rb_node and completion_data,
      but the completion data is used by device mapper and can also be used by
      other drivers.  So, I didn't see a way around the additional field.
      
      I tested this patch on an HP EVA with both ext4 and xfs, and it recovers
      the lost performance.  Comments and other testers, as always, are
      appreciated.
      
      Cheers,
      Jeff

      move RLIMIT_NPROC check from set_user() to do_execve_common() · 72fa5997
      Vasiliy Kulikov 提交于
      The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC
      check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and
      similar functions.
      
      Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed
      number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on
      rlimit only.  But the check created new security threat: many poorly
      written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it
      cannot fail if executed with root privileges.  So, the check is removed
      in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to
      buggy programs.
      
      The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons
      spawning user processes.  Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve().
      The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in
      setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues.
      
      Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the
      limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag.  With the change only
      this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve()
      behaviour is not changed.
      
      Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still
      exceeded at the moment of execve().  If the process was sleeping for
      days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down
      under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was
      exceeded days ago would be unexpected.  If the limit is not exceeded
      anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork().
      
      The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit
      was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one.
      
      Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag).
      
      v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().
