Empty barrier required special handling in __elv_next_request() to complete it without letting the low level driver see it. With previous changes, barrier code is now flexible enough to skip the BAR step using the same barrier sequence selection mechanism. Drop the special handling and mask off q->ordered from start_ordered(). Remove blk_empty_barrier() test which now has no user.

Barrier completion had the following assumptions. * start_ordered() couldn't finish the whole sequence properly. If all actions are to be skipped, q->ordseq is set correctly but the actual completion was never triggered thus hanging the barrier request. * Drain completion in elv_complete_request() assumed that there's always at least one request in the queue when drain completes. Both assumptions are true but these assumptions need to be removed to improve empty barrier implementation. This patch makes the following changes. * Make start_ordered() use blk_ordered_complete_seq() to mark skipped steps complete and notify __elv_next_request() that it should fetch the next request if the whole barrier has completed inside start_ordered(). * Make drain completion path in elv_complete_request() check whether the queue is empty. Empty queue also indicates drain completion. * While at it, convert 0/1 return from blk_do_ordered() to false/true.

In all barrier sequences, the barrier write itself was always assumed to be issued and thus didn't have corresponding control flag. This patch adds QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_BAR and unify action mask handling in start_ordered() such that any barrier action can be skipped. This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

Separate out ordering type (drain,) and action masks (preflush, postflush, fua) from visible ordering mode selectors (QUEUE_ORDERED_*). Ordering types are now named QUEUE_ORDERED_BY_* while action masks are named QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_*. This change is necessary to add QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_BAR and make it optional to improve empty barrier implementation.

Allow the scsi request REQ_QUIET flag to be propagated to the buffer file system layer. The basic ideas is to pass the flag from the scsi request to the bio (block IO) and then to the buffer layer. The buffer layer can then suppress needless printks. This patch declutters the kernel log by removed the 40-50 (per lun) buffer io error messages seen during a boot in my multipath setup . It is a good chance any real errors will be missed in the "noise" it the logs without this patch. During boot I see blocks of messages like " __ratelimit: 211 callbacks suppressed Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242847 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 1 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242878 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242872 " in my logs. My disk environment is multipath fiber channel using the SCSI_DH_RDAC code and multipathd. This topology includes an "active" and "ghost" path for each lun. IO's to the "ghost" path will never complete and the SCSI layer, via the scsi device handler rdac code, quick returns the IOs to theses paths and sets the REQ_QUIET scsi flag to suppress the scsi layer messages. I am wanting to extend the QUIET behavior to include the buffer file system layer to deal with these errors as well. I have been running this patch for a while now on several boxes without issue. A few runs of bonnie++ show no noticeable difference in performance in my setup. Thanks for John Stultz for the quiet_error finalization.

This patch swaps the role of libcrc32c and crc32c. Previously the implementation was in libcrc32c and crc32c was a wrapper. Now the code is in crc32c and libcrc32c just calls the crypto layer. The reason for the change is to tap into the algorithm selection capability of the crypto API so that optimised implementations such as the one utilising Intel's CRC32C instruction can be used where available.

It is often useful to save the partial state of a hash function so that it can be used as a base for two or more computations. The most prominent example is HMAC where all hashes start from a base determined by the key. Having an import/export interface means that we only have to compute that base once rather than for each message. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

This patch allows shash algorithms to be used through the ahash interface. This is required before we can convert digest algorithms over to shash. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
-
由 Herbert Xu 提交于
The shash interface replaces the current synchronous hash interface. It improves over hash in two ways. Firstly shash is reentrant, meaning that the same tfm may be used by two threads simultaneously as all hashing state is stored in a local descriptor. The other enhancement is that shash no longer takes scatter list entries. This is because shash is specifically designed for synchronous algorithms and as such scatter lists are unnecessary. All existing hash users will be converted to shash once the algorithms have been completely converted. There is also a new finup function that combines update with final. This will be extended to ahash once the algorithm conversion is done. This is also the first time that an algorithm type has their own registration function. Existing algorithm types will be converted to this way in due course. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

This patch reintroduces a completely revamped crypto_alloc_tfm. The biggest change is that we now take two crypto_type objects when allocating a tfm, a frontend and a backend. In fact this simply formalises what we've been doing behind the API's back. For example, as it stands crypto_alloc_ahash may use an actual ahash algorithm or a crypto_hash algorithm. Putting this in the API allows us to do this much more cleanly. The existing types will be converted across gradually. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

The type exit function needs to undo any allocations done by the type init function. However, the type init function may differ depending on the upper-level type of the transform (e.g., a crypto_blkcipher instantiated as a crypto_ablkcipher). So we need to move the exit function out of the lower-level structure and into crypto_tfm itself. As it stands this is a no-op since nobody uses exit functions at all. However, all cases where a lower-level type is instantiated as a different upper-level type (such as blkcipher as ablkcipher) will be converted such that they allocate the underlying transform and use that instead of casting (e.g., crypto_ablkcipher casted into crypto_blkcipher). That will need to use a different exit function depending on the upper-level type. This patch also allows the type init/exit functions to call (or not) cra_init/cra_exit instead of always calling them from the top level. Signed-off-by: NHerbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

Impact: Code transformation, new functions added should have no effect. Drivers use mmap followed by pgprot_* and remap_pfn_range or vm_insert_pfn, in order to export reserved memory to userspace. Currently, such mappings are not tracked and hence not kept consistent with other mappings (/dev/mem, pci resource, ioremap) for the sme memory, that may exist in the system. The following patchset adds x86 PAT attribute tracking and untracking for pfnmap related APIs. First three patches in the patchset are changing the generic mm code to fit in this tracking. Last four patches are x86 specific to make things work with x86 PAT code. The patchset aso introduces pgprot_writecombine interface, which gives writecombine mapping when enabled, falling back to pgprot_noncached otherwise. This patch: While working on x86 PAT, we faced some hurdles with trackking remap_pfn_range() regions, as we do not have any information to say whether that PFNMAP mapping is linear for the entire vma range or it is smaller granularity regions within the vma. A simple solution to this is to use vm_pgoff as an indicator for linear mapping over the vma region. Currently, remap_pfn_range only sets vm_pgoff for COW mappings. Below patch changes the logic and sets the vm_pgoff irrespective of COW. This will still not be enough for the case where pfn is zero (vma region mapped to physical address zero). But, for all the other cases, we can look at pfnmap VMAs and say whether the mappng is for the entire vma region or not.
