If a SCSI device is removed while the device is still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release. When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up dereferencing already freed bdi. Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated queue is very unusual and error-prone. Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are complete.

On the last close of an 'md' device which as been stopped, the device is destroyed and in particular the request_queue is freed. The free is done in a separate thread so it might happen a short time later. __blkdev_put calls bdev_inode_switch_bdi *after* ->release has been called. Since commit f758eeab bdev_inode_switch_bdi will dereference the 'old' bdi, which lives inside a request_queue, to get a spin lock. This causes the last close on an md device to sometime take a spin_lock which lives in freed memory - which results in an oops. So move the called to bdev_inode_switch_bdi before the call to ->release.

bd_super is currently reset to NULL in kill_block_super() so we rely on previous users of the block_device object to initialise this value for the next user. This quirk was exposed on RHEL5 when a third party filesystem did not always use kill_block_super() and therefore bd_super wasn't being reset when a block_device object was recycled within the cache. This may not be a problem upstream but makes sense to be defensive.

Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

This converts everybody to handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA properly. In some cases we just return -EINVAL, in others we do the normal generic thing, and in others we're simply making sure that the properly due-dilligence is done. For example in NFS/CIFS we need to make sure the file size is update properly for the SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA case, but since it calls the generic llseek stuff itself that is all we have to do.

Currently, only open(2) is defined as the 'clearing' point. It has two roles - first, it's an acknowledgement from userland indicating that the event has been received and kernel can clear pending states and proceed to generate more events. Secondly, it's passed on to device drivers as a hint indicating that a synchronization point has been reached and it might want to take a deeper look at the device. The latter currently is only used by sr which uses two different mechanisms - GET_EVENT_MEDIA_STATUS_NOTIFICATION and TEST_UNIT_READY to discover events, where the former is lighter weight and safe to be used repeatedly but may not provide full coverage. Among other things, GET_EVENT can't detect media removal while TUR can. This patch makes close(2) - blkdev_put() - indicate clearing hint for MEDIA_CHANGE to drivers. disk_check_events() is renamed to disk_flush_events() and updated to take @mask for events to flush which is or'd to ev->clearing and will be passed to the driver on the next ->check_events() invocation. This change makes sr generate MEDIA_CHANGE when media is ejected from userland - e.g. with eject(1). Note: Given the current usage, it seems @clearing hint is needlessly complex. disk_clear_events() can simply clear all events and the hint can be boolean @flush.

6b4517a7 (block: implement bd_claiming and claiming block) introduced claiming block to support O_EXCL blkdev opens properly. bd_start_claiming() looks up the part 0 bdev and starts claiming block. The function assumed that there is only one part 0 bdev and always used bdget_disk(disk, 0) to look it up; unfortunately, this isn't true for some drivers (floppy) which use multiple block devices to denote different operating parameters for the same physical device. There can be multiple part 0 bdev's for the same device number. This incorrect assumption caused the wrong bdev to be used during claiming leading to unbalanced bd_holders as reported in the following bug. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28522 This patch updates bd_start_claiming() such that it uses the bdev specified as argument if its partno is zero. Note that this means that different bdev's can be used for the same device and O_EXCL check can be effectively bypassed. It has always been broken that way and floppy is fortunately on its way out. Leave that breakage alone.

Split the global inode_wb_list_lock into a per-bdi_writeback list_lock, as it's currently the most contended lock in the system for metadata heavy workloads. It won't help for single-filesystem workloads for which we'll need the I/O-less balance_dirty_pages, but at least we can dedicate a cpu to spinning on each bdi now for larger systems.

Protect inode state transitions and validity checks with the inode->i_lock. This enables us to make inode state transitions independently of the inode_lock and is the first step to peeling away the inode_lock from the code. This requires that __iget() is done atomically with i_state checks during list traversals so that we don't race with another thread marking the inode I_FREEING between the state check and grabbing the reference. Also remove the unlock_new_inode() memory barrier optimisation required to avoid taking the inode_lock when clearing I_NEW. Simplify the code by simply taking the inode->i_lock around the state change and wakeup. Because the wakeup is no longer tricky, remove the wake_up_inode() function and open code the wakeup where necessary.

Not all block drivers clear events immediately after reporting. Some do so in ->revalidate_disk() or other steps during ->open(). There is a slim chance event poll may happen between the clearing event check from check_disk_change() and the actual clearing of the events which would result in spurious events. Block event checks while block device open is in progress. There is no need to kick explicit event check afterwards as events are always checked during open. -v2: The original patch could have called disk_unblock_events() with an already released or %NULL @disk causing oops. Fixed by making sure references are put after disk_unblock_events() is called. It also makes the error path of __blkdev_get() a bit simpler. This problem was reported by Jens.

The block event mechanism currently always checks events when the device is being closed regardless of the open mode. The intention was to allow detection of EJECT_REQUEST when a device is closed whether disk event polling is enabled or not. This is unnecessary as, for devices of interest, events are checked from either userland or kernel and in the former case ->check_events() is performed on open of each poll attempt anyway. Furthermore, this unconditional event check on close makes the code susceptible to event loop if the block driver doesn't clear reported events correctly - an event triggers userland to open and close the device which in turn causes another event, rinse and repeat. Check events on close only if it was blocked by excl write open. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>

There are two cases when we call flush_disk. In one, the device has disappeared (check_disk_change) so any data will hold becomes irrelevant. In the oter, the device has changed size (check_disk_size_change) so data we hold may be irrelevant. In both cases it makes sense to discard any 'clean' buffers, so they will be read back from the device if needed. In the former case it makes sense to discard 'dirty' buffers as there will never be anywhere safe to write the data. In the second case it *does*not* make sense to discard dirty buffers as that will lead to file system corruption when you simply enlarge the containing devices. flush_disk calls __invalidate_devices. __invalidate_device calls both invalidate_inodes and invalidate_bdev. invalidate_inodes *does* discard I_DIRTY inodes and this does lead to fs corruption. invalidate_bev *does*not* discard dirty pages, but I don't really care about that at present. So this patch adds a flag to __invalidate_device (calling it __invalidate_device2) to indicate whether dirty buffers should be killed, and this is passed to invalidate_inodes which can choose to skip dirty inodes. flusk_disk then passes true from check_disk_change and false from check_disk_size_change. dm avoids tripping over this problem by calling i_size_write directly rathher than using check_disk_size_change. md does use check_disk_size_change and so is affected. This regression was introduced by commit 608aeef1 which causes check_disk_size_change to call flush_disk, so it is suitable for any kernel since 2.6.27.

This reverts commit 75f1dc0d ("block: check bdev_read_only() from blkdev_get()"). That commit added stricter checking to make sure devices that were being used read-only were actually opened in that mode. It turns out that the change breaks a bunch of kernel code that opens block devices. Affected systems include dm, md, and the loop device. Because strict checking for read-only opens of block devices was not done before this, the code that opens the devices was opening them read-write even if they were being used read-only. Auditing all that code will take time, and new userspace packages for dm, mdadm, etc. will also be required.

Commit e09b457b (block: simplify holder symlink handling) incorrectly assumed that there is only one link at maximum. dm may use multiple links and expects block layer to track reference count for each link, which is different from and unrelated to the exclusive device holder identified by @holder when the device is opened. Remove the single holder assumption and automatic removal of the link and revive the per-link reference count tracking. The code essentially behaves the same as before commit e09b457b sans the unnecessary kobject reference count dancing. While at it, note that this facility should not be used by anyone else than the current ones. Sysfs symlinks shouldn't be abused like this and the whole thing doesn't belong in the block layer at all.

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow: - Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must. - sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking. - Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code - Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the page lock to follow page->mapping. The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts kicking over, this increases to about 20%. In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller. The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU, however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking, so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I doubt it will be a problem. Signed-off-by: NNick Piggin <npiggin@kernel.dk>

Currently, media presence polling for removeable block devices is done from userland. There are several issues with this. * Polling is done by periodically opening the device. For SCSI devices, the command sequence generated by such action involves a few different commands including TEST_UNIT_READY. This behavior, while perfectly legal, is different from Windows which only issues single command, GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION. Unfortunately, some ATAPI devices lock up after being periodically queried such command sequences. * There is no reliable and unintrusive way for a userland program to tell whether the target device is safe for media presence polling. For example, polling for media presence during an on-going burning session can make it fail. The polling program can avoid this by opening the device with O_EXCL but then it risks making a valid exclusive user of the device fail w/ -EBUSY. * Userland polling is unnecessarily heavy and in-kernel implementation is lighter and better coordinated (workqueue, timer slack). This patch implements framework for in-kernel disk event handling, which includes media presence polling. * bdops->check_events() is added, which supercedes ->media_changed(). It should check whether there's any pending event and return if so. Currently, two events are defined - DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE and DISK_EVENT_EJECT_REQUEST. ->check_events() is guaranteed not to be called parallelly. * gendisk->events and ->async_events are added. These should be initialized by block driver before passing the device to add_disk(). The former contains the mask of all supported events and the latter the mask of all events which the device can report without polling. /sys/block/*/events[_async] export these to userland. * Kernel parameter block.events_dfl_poll_msecs controls the system polling interval (default is 0 which means disable) and /sys/block/*/events_poll_msecs control polling intervals for individual devices (default is -1 meaning use system setting). Note that if a device can report all supported events asynchronously and its polling interval isn't explicitly set, the device won't be polled regardless of the system polling interval. * If a device is opened exclusively with write access, event checking is automatically disabled until all write exclusive accesses are released. * There are event 'clearing' events. For example, both of currently defined events are cleared after the device has been successfully opened. This information is passed to ->check_events() callback using @clearing argument as a hint. * Event checking is always performed from system_nrt_wq and timer slack is set to 25% for polling. * Nothing changes for drivers which implement ->media_changed() but not ->check_events(). Going forward, all drivers will be converted to ->check_events() and ->media_change() will be dropped.

After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get(). Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path(). blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum(). blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode. All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions. * btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put(). * gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in sb->s_mode. * With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect errors. The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments. While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

bdev read-only status can be queried using bdev_read_only() and may change while the device is being opened. Enforce it by checking it from blkdev_get() after open succeeds. This makes bdev_read_only() check in open_bdev_exclusive() and fsg_lun_open() unnecessary. Drop them.

With claim/release rolled into blkdev_get/put(), there's no reason to keep bd_abort/finish_claim(), __bd_claim() and bd_release() as separate functions. It only makes the code difficult to follow. Collapse them into blkdev_get/put(). This will ease future changes around claim/release. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev open, close, claim and release. * blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions. * bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open. * open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and the other way around, respectively. * bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave symlinks. * open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get(). The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that, * blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management. @holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses. * blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are removed automatically. * bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer necessary and either made static or removed. * bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder() is no longer necessary and removed. * open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev() and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only() test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get(). * open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to blkdev_get(). Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put() and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases. open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup - rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop special features. Well, let's leave them for another day. Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the same.

Code to manage symlinks in /sys/block/*/{holders|slaves} are overly complex with multiple holder considerations, redundant extra references to all involved kobjects, unused generic kobject holder support and unnecessary mixup with bd_claim/release functionalities. Strip it down to what's necessary (single gendisk holder) and make it use a separate interface. This is a step for cleaning up bd_claim/release. This patch makes dm-table slightly more complex but it will be simplified again with further changes.

The use of the same inode list structure (inode->i_list) for two different list constructs with different lifecycles and purposes makes it impossible to separate the locking of the different operations. Therefore, to enable the separation of the locking of the writeback and reclaim lists, split the inode->i_list into two separate lists dedicated to their specific tracking functions.

bdev inodes can remain dirty even after their last close. Hence the BDI associated with the bdev->inode gets modified duringthe last close to point to the default BDI. However, the bdev inode still needs to be moved to the dirty lists of the new BDI, otherwise it will corrupt the writeback list is was left on. Add a new function bdev_inode_switch_bdi() to move all the bdi state from the old bdi to the new one safely. This is only a temporary measure until the bdev inode<->bdi lifecycle problems are sorted out.
