Instead of initializing null_blk hardware queues explicitly after the request queue has been created, provide .init_hctx() and .exit_hctx() callback functions. The latter functions are not only called during request queue allocation but also when the number of hardware queues changes. Allocate nr_cpu_ids queues during initialization to support increasing the number of hardware queues above the initial hardware queue count. This change fixes increasing the number of hardware queues above the initial number of hardware queues and also keeps nullb->nr_queues in sync with the number of hardware queues.

Jordy Zomer reported a KASAN out-of-bounds read in the floppy driver in wait_til_ready(). Which on the face of it can't happen, since as Willy Tarreau points out, the function does no particular memory access. Except through the FDCS macro, which just indexes a static allocation through teh current fdc, which is always checked against N_FDC. Except the checking happens after we've already assigned the value. The floppy driver is a disgrace (a lot of it going back to my original horrd "design"), and has no real maintainer. Nobody has the hardware, and nobody really cares. But it still gets used in virtual environment because it's one of those things that everybody supports. The whole thing should be re-written, or at least parts of it should be seriously cleaned up. The 'current fdc' index, which is used by the FDCS macro, and which is often shadowed by a local 'fdc' variable, is a prime example of how not to write code. But because nobody has the hardware or the motivation, let's just fix up the immediate problem with a nasty band-aid: test the fdc index before actually assigning it to the static 'fdc' variable.

As it is, vfs_parse_fs_string() makes "foo" and "foo=" indistinguishable; both get fs_value_is_string for ->type and NULL for ->string. To make it even more unpleasant, that combination is impossible to produce with fsconfig(). Much saner rules would be "foo" => fs_value_is_flag, NULL "foo=" => fs_value_is_string, "" "foo=bar" => fs_value_is_string, "bar" All cases are distinguishable, all results are expressable by fsconfig(), ->has_value checks are much simpler that way (to the point of the field being useless) and quite a few regressions go away (gfs2 has no business accepting -o nodebug=, for example).

The worst-case scenario on finding same element pages is that almost all elements are same at the first glance but only last few elements are different. Since the same element tends to be grouped from the beginning of the pages, if we check the first element with the last element before looping through all elements, we might have some chances to quickly detect non-same element pages. 1. Test is done under LG webOS TV (64-bit arch) 2. Dump the swap-out pages (~819200 pages) 3. Analyze the pages with simple test script which counts the iteration number and measures the speed at off-line Under 64-bit arch, the worst iteration count is PAGE_SIZE / 8 bytes = 512. The speed is based on the time to consume page_same_filled() function only. The result, on average, is listed as below: Num of Iter Speed(MB/s) Looping-Forward (Orig) 38 99265 Looping-Backward 36 102725 Last-element-check (This Patch) 33 125072 The result shows that the average iteration count decreases by 13% and the speed increases by 25% with this patch. This patch does not increase the overall time complexity, though. I also ran simpler version which uses backward loop. Just looping backward also makes some improvement, but less than this patch.

Today the Xen blkfront driver allocates memory for one struct blkfront_ring_info for each communication ring. This structure is statically sized for the maximum supported configuration resulting in a size of more than 90 kB. As the main size contributor is one array inside the struct, the memory allocation can easily be limited by moving this array to be the last structure element and to allocate only the memory for the actually needed array size.

Then, nbd_start_device will return ENOMEM to nbd_start_device_ioctl, and nbd_start_device_ioctl will return immediately without running flush_workqueue. However, we still have n recv threads. If nbd_release run first, recv threads may have to drop the last config_refs and try to destroy the workqueue from inside the workqueue. To fix it, add a flush_workqueue in nbd_start_device.

Each `blkif` has a free pages pool for the grant mapping. The size of the pool starts from zero and is increased on demand while processing the I/O requests. If current I/O requests handling is finished or 100 milliseconds has passed since last I/O requests handling, it checks and shrinks the pool to not exceed the size limit, `max_buffer_pages`. Therefore, host administrators can cause memory pressure in blkback by attaching a large number of block devices and inducing I/O. Such problematic situations can be avoided by limiting the maximum number of devices that can be attached, but finding the optimal limit is not so easy. Improper set of the limit can results in memory pressure or a resource underutilization. This commit avoids such problematic situations by squeezing the pools (returns every free page in the pool to the system) for a while (users can set this duration via a module parameter) if memory pressure is detected. Discussions =========== The `blkback`'s original shrinking mechanism returns only pages in the pool which are not currently be used by `blkback` to the system. In other words, the pages that are not mapped with granted pages. Because this commit is changing only the shrink limit but still uses the same freeing mechanism it does not touch pages which are currently mapping grants. Once memory pressure is detected, this commit keeps the squeezing limit for a user-specified time duration. The duration should be neither too long nor too short. If it is too long, the squeezing incurring overhead can reduce the I/O performance. If it is too short, `blkback` will not free enough pages to reduce the memory pressure. This commit sets the value as `10 milliseconds` by default because it is a short time in terms of I/O while it is a long time in terms of memory operations. Also, as the original shrinking mechanism works for at least every 100 milliseconds, this could be a somewhat reasonable choice. I also tested other durations (refer to the below section for more details) and confirmed that 10 milliseconds is the one that works best with the test. That said, the proper duration depends on actual configurations and workloads. That's why this commit allows users to set the duration as a module parameter. Memory Pressure Test ==================== To show how this commit fixes the memory pressure situation well, I configured a test environment on a xen-running virtualization system. On the `blkfront` running guest instances, I attach a large number of network-backed volume devices and induce I/O to those. Meanwhile, I measure the number of pages that swapped in (pswpin) and out (pswpout) on the `blkback` running guest. The test ran twice, once for the `blkback` before this commit and once for that after this commit. As shown below, this commit has dramatically reduced the memory pressure: pswpin pswpout before 76,672 185,799 after 867 3,967 Optimal Aggressive Shrinking Duration ------------------------------------- To find a best squeezing duration, I repeated the test with three different durations (1ms, 10ms, and 100ms). The results are as below: duration pswpin pswpout 1 707 5,095 10 867 3,967 100 362 3,348 As expected, the memory pressure decreases as the duration increases, but the reduction become slow from the `10ms`. Based on this results, I chose the default duration as 10ms. Performance Overhead Test ========================= This commit could incur I/O performance degradation under severe memory pressure because the squeezing will require more page allocations per I/O. To show the overhead, I artificially made a worst-case squeezing situation and measured the I/O performance of a `blkfront` running guest. For the artificial squeezing, I set the `blkback.max_buffer_pages` using the `/sys/module/xen_blkback/parameters/max_buffer_pages` file. In this test, I set the value to `1024` and `0`. The `1024` is the default value. Setting the value as `0` is same to a situation doing the squeezing always (worst-case). If the underlying block device is slow enough, the squeezing overhead could be hidden. For the reason, I use a fast block device, namely the rbd[1]: # xl block-attach guest phy:/dev/ram0 xvdb w For the I/O performance measurement, I run a simple `dd` command 5 times directly to the device as below and collect the 'MB/s' results. $ for i in {1..5}; do dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/xvdb \ bs=4k count=$((256*512)); sync; done The results are as below. 'max_pgs' represents the value of the `blkback.max_buffer_pages` parameter. max_pgs Min Max Median Avg Stddev 0 417 423 420 419.4 2.5099801 1024 414 425 416 417.8 4.4384682 No difference proven at 95.0% confidence In short, even worst case squeezing on ramdisk based fast block device makes no visible performance degradation. Please note that this is just a very simple and minimal test. On systems using super-fast block devices and a special I/O workload, the results might be different. If you have any doubt, test on your machine with your workload to find the optimal squeezing duration for you.

The rbd driver already provides additional information in sysfs under /sys/bus/rbd, so we should set the 'device' link in the block device to reference this information.

null_zone_write() only allows writing empty and implicitly opened zones. Writing to closed and explicitly opened zones must also be allowed and the zone condition must be transitioned to implicit open if the zone is not explicitly opened already.

There is no need for the special cases for the cdrom ioctls any more now, so make sure that each cdrom driver has a .compat_ioctl() callback and calls cdrom_compat_ioctl() directly there. Reviewed-by: NBen Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk> Signed-off-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

Each driver calling scsi_ioctl() gets an equivalent compat_ioctl() handler that implements the same commands by calling scsi_compat_ioctl(). The scsi_cmd_ioctl() and scsi_cmd_blk_ioctl() functions are compatible at this point, so any driver that calls those can do so for both native and compat mode, with the argument passed through compat_ptr(). With this, we can remove the entries from fs/compat_ioctl.c. The new code is larger, but should be easier to maintain and keep updated with newly added commands.

Various block drivers implement the CDROMMULTISESSION, CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY, and CDROMEJECT ioctl commands, relying on the block layer to handle compat_ioctl mode for them. Move this into the drivers directly as a preparation for simplifying the block layer later. When only integer arguments or no arguments are passed, the same handler can be used for .ioctl and .compat_ioctl, and when only pointer arguments are passed, the newly added blkdev_compat_ptr_ioctl can be used.

This is the only ioctl command that does not have a proper compat handler. Making the normal implementation do the right thing is actually very simply, so just do that by using an in_compat_syscall() check to avoid the special case in the pkcdvd driver.

There is only one implementation of this ioctl, so move the handling out of the common block layer code into the place where it's actually needed. It also gets called indirectly through pktcdvd, which needs to be aware of this change. As I noticed, the old implementation of the compat handler failed to convert the structure on the way out, so the updated fields never got written back to user space. This is either not important, or it has never worked and should be fixed now. Reviewed-by: NBen Hutchings <ben.hutchings@codethink.co.uk> Signed-off-by: NArnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>

These drivers implement the HDIO_GET_IDENTITY and CDROMVOLREAD ioctl commands, which are compatible between 32-bit and 64-bit user space and traditionally handled by compat_blkdev_driver_ioctl(). As a prerequisite to removing that function, make both drivers use blkdev_compat_ptr_ioctl() as their .compat_ioctl callback.
