      md: make devices disappear when they are no longer needed. · d3374825
      NeilBrown 提交于
      Currently md devices, once created, never disappear until the module
      is unloaded.  This is essentially because the gendisk holds a
      reference to the mddev, and the mddev holds a reference to the
      gendisk, this a circular reference.
      
      If we drop the reference from mddev to gendisk, then we need to ensure
      that the mddev is destroyed when the gendisk is destroyed.  However it
      is not possible to hook into the gendisk destruction process to enable
      this.
      
      So we drop the reference from the gendisk to the mddev and destroy the
      gendisk when the mddev gets destroyed.  However this has a
      complication.
      Between the call
         __blkdev_get->get_gendisk->kobj_lookup->md_probe
      and the call
         __blkdev_get->md_open
      
      there is no obvious way to hold a reference on the mddev any more, so
      unless something is done, it will disappear and gendisk will be
      destroyed prematurely.
      
      Also, once we decide to destroy the mddev, there will be an unlockable
      moment before the gendisk is unlinked (blk_unregister_region) during
      which a new reference to the gendisk can be created.  We need to
      ensure that this reference can not be used.  i.e. the ->open must
      fail.
      
      So:
       1/  in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which
           indicates that the array should be treated as active, even
           though there are no references, and no appearance of activity.
           This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it
           is no longer needed.
           This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and
           md_open.
      
       2/  In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches
           the gendisk that we did open.
           If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify
           __blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case.
           In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until
           the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so
           we loop at most once.
      
      Some udev configurations will always open an md device when it first
      appears.   If we allow an md device that was just created by an open
      to disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev
      configurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened
      and closed, then re-open due to the 'ADD' even from the first open,
      and then close and so on.
      So we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active
      at least until some md 'ioctl' has been made on it.  This means that
      all normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly
      when not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it
      cause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be
      removed).
      
      As an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute
        echo clear > /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state
      we need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other
      kobjects.  This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to
      complete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work().

      Call flush_disk() after detecting an online resize. · 608aeef1
      Andrew Patterson 提交于
      We call flush_disk() to make sure the buffer cache for the disk is
      flushed after a disk resize. There are two resize cases, growing and
      shrinking. Given that users can shrink/then grow a disk before
      revalidate_disk() is called, we treat the grow case identically to
      shrinking. We need to flush the buffer cache after an online shrink
      because, as James Bottomley puts it,
      
           The two use cases for shrinking I can see are
      
           1. planned: the fs is already shrunk to within the new boundaries
              and all data is relocated, so invalidate is fine (any dirty
              buffers that might exist in the shrunk region are there only
              because they were relocated but not yet written to their
              original location).
           2. unplanned:  In this case, the fs is probably toast, so whether
              we invalidate or not isn't going to make a whole lot of
              difference; it's still going to try to read or write from
              sectors beyond the new size and get I/O errors.
      
      Immediately invalidating shrunk disks will cause errors for outstanding
      I/Os for reads/write beyond the new end of the disk to be generated
      earlier then if we waited for the normal buffer cache operation. It also
      removes a potential security hole where we might keep old data around
      from beyond the end of the shrunk disk if the disk was not invalidated.

      block: introduce partition 0 · b5d0b9df
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      genhd and partition code handled disk and partitions separately.  All
      information about the whole disk was in struct genhd and partitions in
      struct hd_struct.  However, the whole disk (part0) and other
      partitions have a lot in common and the data structures end up having
      good number of common fields and thus separate code paths doing the
      same thing.  Also, the partition array was indexed by partno - 1 which
      gets pretty confusing at times.
      
      This patch introduces partition 0 and makes the partition array
      indexed by partno.  Following patches will unify the handling of disk
      and parts piece-by-piece.
      
      This patch also implements disk_partitionable() which tests whether a
      disk is partitionable.  With coming dynamic partition array change,
      the most common usage of disk_max_parts() will be testing whether a
      disk is partitionable and the number of max partitions will become
      much less important.

      block: fix disk->part[] dereferencing race · e71bf0d0
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      disk->part[] is protected by its matching bdev's lock.  However,
      non-critical accesses like collecting stats and printing out sysfs and
      proc information used to be performed without any locking.  As
      partitions can come and go dynamically, partitions can go away
      underneath those non-critical accesses.  As some of those accesses are
      writes, this theoretically can lead to silent corruption.
      
      This patch fixes the race by using RCU for the partition array and dev
      reference counter to hold partitions.
      
      * Rename disk->part[] to disk->__part[] to make sure no one outside
        genhd layer proper accesses it directly.
      
      * Use RCU for disk->__part[] dereferencing.
      
      * Implement disk_{get|put}_part() which can be used to get and put
        partitions from gendisk respectively.
      
      * Iterators are implemented to help iterate through all partitions
        safely.
      
      * Functions which require RCU readlock are marked with _rcu suffix.

        disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary.  However,
        convert them for consistency.
