      block: fix diskstats access · c9959059
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
      underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
      disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters.  It's unclear
      whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
      entry as some callers don't do that.
      
      This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
      and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
      access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access).  diskstats access
      should always be enclosed between the two functions.  As such, there's
      no need for the versions which disables preemption.  They're removed
      and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars.  As an
      extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
      unconverted.
      
      disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
      diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
      argument to help RT.
      
      This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
      collapses several preemption ops into one at others.  Overall, the
      performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
      very lightweight per-cpu ones.

      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.
      
      * Use disk_put_part() in __blkdev_put() instead of directly putting
        the contained kobject.

      * Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly

        Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of
        block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as
        ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the
        disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary.  However,
        convert them for consistency.
      
      * Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing
        genhd->minors.
      
      * Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor
        space.
      
      * Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it
        the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).

      block: move cmdfilter from gendisk to request_queue · abf54393
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      cmd_filter works only for the block layer SG_IO with SCSI block
      devices. It breaks scsi/sg.c, bsg, and the block layer SG_IO with SCSI
      character devices (such as st). We hit a kernel crash with them.
      
      The problem is that cmd_filter code accesses to gendisk (having struct
      blk_scsi_cmd_filter) via inode->i_bdev->bd_disk. It works for only
      SCSI block device files. With character device files, inode->i_bdev
      leads you to struct cdev. inode->i_bdev->bd_disk->blk_scsi_cmd_filter
      isn't safe.
      
      SCSI ULDs don't expose gendisk; they keep it private. bsg needs to be
      independent on any protocols. We shouldn't change ULDs to expose their
      gendisk.
      
      This patch moves struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter from gendisk to
      request_queue, a common object, which eveyone can access to.
      
      The user interface doesn't change; users can change the filters via
      /sys/block/. gendisk has a pointer to request_queue so the cmd_filter
      code accesses to struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter.

      [PATCH] relax check for AIX in msdos partition table · 4419d1ac
      Olaf Hering 提交于
      The patch to identify AIX disks and ignore them has caused at least one
      machine to fail to find the root partition on 2.6.19. The patch is:
      
      http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/31/117
      
      The problem is some disk formatters do not blow away the first 4 bytes
      of the disk. If the disk we are installing to used to have AIX on it,
      then the first 4 bytes will still have IBMA in EBCDIC.
      
      The install in question was debian etch. Im not sure what the best fix
      is, perhaps the AIX detection code could check more than the first 4
      bytes.
      
      The whole partition info for primary partitions is in this block:
      
        dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be ))
      
      All other data do not matter, beside the 0x55aa marker at the end of the

      [PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute. · d18d7682
      Fabio Massimo Di Nitto 提交于
      Some partitioning systems create special partitions that
      span the entire disk.  One example are Sun partitions, and
      this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the
      extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block
      and do other things.
      
      Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions,
      because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one.
      So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which
      we do not want.  udev and friends can thus search for this
      'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the
      partition.

      [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6] · 9361401e
      David Howells 提交于
      Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
      it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
      the block layer to be present.
      
      This patch does the following:
      
       (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
           support.
      
       (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
           an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:
      
           (*) Block I/O tracing.
      
           (*) Disk partition code.
      
           (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.
      
           (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
           	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
           	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.
      
           (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
           	 drivers.
      
           (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.
      
           (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
           	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.
      
       (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
           linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
           however, still used in places, and so is still available.
      
       (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
           parts of linux/fs.h.
      
       (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
           is not enabled.
      
       (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
           required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:
      
           (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).
      
       (*) Makes some /proc changes:
      
           (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.
      
           (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
           given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.
      
       (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.
      
       (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
           error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).
      
       (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

      [PATCH] BLOCK: delay all uevents until partition table is scanned · d4d7e5df
      Kay Sievers 提交于
      [BLOCK] delay all uevents until partition table is scanned
      
      Here we delay the annoucement of all block device events until the
      disk's partition table is scanned and all partition devices are already
      created and sysfs is populated.
      
      We have a bunch of old bugs for removable storage handling where we
      probe successfully for a filesystem on the raw disk, but at the
      same time the kernel recognizes a partition table and creates partition
      devices.
      Currently there is no sane way to tell if partitions will show up or not
      at the time the disk device is announced to userspace. With the delayed
      events we can simply skip any probe for a filesystem on the raw disk when
      we find already present partitions.

      [BLOCK] increase size of disk stat counters · 837c7878
      Ben Woodard 提交于
      The kernel's representation of the disk statistics uses the type unsigned
      which is 32b on both 32b and 64b platforms.  Unfortunately, most system
      tools that work with these numbers that are exported in /proc/diskstats
      including iostat read these numbers into unsigned longs.  This works fine
      on 32b platforms and when the number of IO transactions are small on 64b
      platforms.  However, when the numbers wrap on 64b platforms & you read the
      numbers into unsigned longs, and compare the numbers to previous readings,
      then you get an unsigned representation of a negative number.  This looks
      like a very large 64b number & gives you bizarre readouts in iostat:
      
      ilc4: Device:    rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s    w/s  rsec/s  wsec/s    rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz   await  svctm  %util
      ilc4: sda        5.50   0.00   143.96 0.00 307496983987862656.00 0.00 153748491993931328.00     0.00 2136028725038430.00     7.94   55.12    5.59  80.42
      
      Though fixing iostat in user space is possible, and a quick survey
      indicates that several other similar tools also use unsigned longs when
      processing /proc/diskstats.  Therefore, it seems like a better approach
      would be to extend the length of the disk_stats structure on 64b
      architectures to 64b.  The following patch does that.  It should not affect
      the operation on 32b platforms.

      [PATCH] more for_each_cpu() conversions · 394e3902
      Andrew Morton 提交于
      When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch
      the percpu data for not-possible CPUs at all.  The correct way of doing this

      This patch is a kernel-wide sweep of all instances of NR_CPUS.  I found very
      few instances of this bug, if any.  But the patch converts lots of open-coded
      test to use the preferred helper macros.

      [BLOCK] Unify the seperate read/write io stat fields into arrays · a362357b
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two
      into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch
      several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the
      actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in
      just the core (not counting the various drivers).
