This patch has the driver automatically reread partitions if a namespace has a separate metadata format. Previously revalidating a disk was sufficient to get the correct capacity set on such formatted drives, but partitions that may exist would not have been surfaced.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm subsystem from Dan Williams: "The libnvdimm sub-system introduces, in addition to the libnvdimm-core, 4 drivers / enabling modules: NFIT: Instantiates an "nvdimm bus" with the core and registers memory devices (NVDIMMs) enumerated by the ACPI 6.0 NFIT (NVDIMM Firmware Interface table). After registering NVDIMMs the NFIT driver then registers "region" devices. A libnvdimm-region defines an access mode and the boundaries of persistent memory media. A region may span multiple NVDIMMs that are interleaved by the hardware memory controller. In turn, a libnvdimm-region can be carved into a "namespace" device and bound to the PMEM or BLK driver which will attach a Linux block device (disk) interface to the memory. PMEM: Initially merged in v4.1 this driver for contiguous spans of persistent memory address ranges is re-worked to drive PMEM-namespaces emitted by the libnvdimm-core. In this update the PMEM driver, on x86, gains the ability to assert that writes to persistent memory have been flushed all the way through the caches and buffers in the platform to persistent media. See memcpy_to_pmem() and wmb_pmem(). BLK: This new driver enables access to persistent memory media through "Block Data Windows" as defined by the NFIT. The primary difference of this driver to PMEM is that only a small window of persistent memory is mapped into system address space at any given point in time. Per-NVDIMM windows are reprogrammed at run time, per-I/O, to access different portions of the media. BLK-mode, by definition, does not support DAX. BTT: This is a library, optionally consumed by either PMEM or BLK, that converts a byte-accessible namespace into a disk with atomic sector update semantics (prevents sector tearing on crash or power loss). The sinister aspect of sector tearing is that most applications do not know they have a atomic sector dependency. At least today's disk's rarely ever tear sectors and if they do one almost certainly gets a CRC error on access. NVDIMMs will always tear and always silently. Until an application is audited to be robust in the presence of sector-tearing the usage of BTT is recommended.

Improvement idea by Marcin Jabrzyk. comp_algorithm_store() silently accepts any supplied algorithm name, because zram performs algorithm availability check later, during the device configuration phase in disksize_store() and emits the following error: "zram: Cannot initialise %s compressing backend" this error line is somewhat generic and, besides, can indicate a failed attempt to allocate compression backend's working buffers. add algorithm availability check to comp_algorithm_store(): echo lzz > /sys/block/zram0/comp_algorithm -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> Reported-by: Marcin Jabrzyk <m.jabrzyk@samsung.com> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Cc: Nitin Gupta <ngupta@vflare.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2015-06-25zram: add dynamic device add/remove functionalitySergey Senozhatsky
We currently don't support on-demand device creation. The one and only way to have N zram devices is to specify num_devices module parameter (default value: 1). IOW if, for some reason, at some point, user wants to have N + 1 devies he/she must umount all the existing devices, unload the module, load the module passing num_devices equals to N + 1. And do this again, if needed. This patch introduces zram control sysfs class, which has two sysfs attrs: - hot_add -- add a new zram device - hot_remove -- remove a specific (device_id) zram device hot_add sysfs attr is read-only and has only automatic device id assignment mode (as requested by Minchan Kim). read operation performed on this attr creates a new zram device and returns back its device_id or error status. Usage example: # add a new specific zram device cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add 2 # remove a specific zram device echo 4 > /sys/class/zram-control/hot_remove Returning zram_add() error code back to user (-ENOMEM in this case) cat /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add cat: /sys/class/zram-control/hot_add: Cannot allocate memory NOTE, there might be users who already depend on the fact that at least zram0 device gets always created by zram_init().

2015-06-25zram: close race by open overridingSergey Senozhatsky
[ Original patch from Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> ] Commit ba6b17d68c8e ("zram: fix umount-reset_store-mount race condition") introduced bdev->bd_mutex to protect a race between mount and reset. At that time, we don't have dynamic zram-add/remove feature so it was okay. However, as we introduce dynamic device feature, bd_mutex became trouble. CPU 0 echo 1 > /sys/block/zram<id>/reset -> kernfs->s_active(A) -> zram:reset_store->bd_mutex(B) CPU 1 echo <id> > /sys/class/zram/zram-remove ->zram:zram_remove: bd_mutex(B) -> sysfs_remove_group -> kernfs->s_active(A) IOW, AB -> BA deadlock The reason we are holding bd_mutex for zram_remove is to prevent any incoming open /dev/zram[0-9]. Otherwise, we could remove zram others already have opened. But it causes above deadlock problem. To fix the problem, this patch overrides block_device.open and it returns -EBUSY if zram asserts he claims zram to reset so any incoming open will be failed so we don't need to hold bd_mutex for zram_remove ayn more. This patch is to prepare for zram-add/remove feature.

This patch looks big, but basically it just moves code blocks. No functional changes. Our current code layout looks like a sandwitch. For example, a) between read/write handlers, we have update_used_max() helper function: static int zram_decompress_page static int zram_bvec_read static inline void update_used_max static int zram_bvec_write static int zram_bvec_rw b) RW request handlers __zram_make_request/zram_bio_discard are divided by sysfs attr reset_store() function and corresponding zram_reset_device() handler: static void zram_bio_discard static void zram_reset_device static ssize_t disksize_store static ssize_t reset_store static void __zram_make_request c) we first a bunch of sysfs read/store functions. then a number of one-liners, then helper functions, RW functions, sysfs functions, helper functions again, and so on. Reorganize layout to be more logically grouped (a brief description, `cat zram_drv.c | grep static` gives a bigger picture): -- one-liners: zram_test_flag/etc. -- helpers: is_partial_io/update_position/etc -- sysfs attr show/store functions + ZRAM_ATTR_RO() generated stats show() functions exception: reset and disksize store functions are required to be after meta() functions. because we do device create/destroy actions in these sysfs handlers. -- "mm" functions: meta get/put, meta alloc/free, page free static inline bool zram_meta_get static inline void zram_meta_put static void zram_meta_free static struct zram_meta *zram_meta_alloc static void zram_free_page -- a block of I/O functions static int zram_decompress_page static int zram_bvec_read static int zram_bvec_write static void zram_bio_discard static int zram_bvec_rw static void __zram_make_request static void zram_make_request static void zram_slot_free_notify static int zram_rw_page -- device contol: add/remove/init/reset functions (+zram-control class will sit here) static int zram_reset_device static ssize_t reset_store static ssize_t disksize_store static int zram_add static void zram_remove static int __init zram_init static void __exit zram_exit Signed-off-by: Sergey Senozhatsky <sergey.senozhatsky@gmail.com> Acked-by: Minchan Kim <minchan@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2015-06-25rbd: queue_depth map optionIlya Dryomov
nr_requests (/sys/block/rbd<id>/queue/nr_requests) is pretty much irrelevant in blk-mq case because each driver sets its own max depth that it can handle and that's the number of tags that gets preallocated on setup. Users can't increase queue depth beyond that value via writing to nr_requests. For rbd we are happy with the default BLKDEV_MAX_RQ (128) for most cases but we want to give users the opportunity to increase it. Introduce a new per-device queue_depth option to do just that: $ sudo rbd map -o queue_depth=1024 ... Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org>

2015-06-25rbd: bump queue_max_segmentsIlya Dryomov
The default queue_limits::max_segments value (BLK_MAX_SEGMENTS = 128) unnecessarily limits bio sizes to 512k (assuming 4k pages). rbd, being a virtual block device, doesn't have any restrictions on the number of physical segments, so bump max_segments to max_hw_sectors, in theory allowing a sector per segment (although the only case this matters that I can think of is some readv/writev style thing). In practice this is going to give us 1M bios - the number of segments in a bio is limited in bio_get_nr_vecs() by BIO_MAX_PAGES = 256. Note that this doesn't result in any improvement on a typical direct sequential test. This is because on a box with a not too badly fragmented memory the default BLK_MAX_SEGMENTS is enough to see nice rbd object size sized requests. The only difference is the size of bios being merged - 512k vs 1M for something like $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/rbd0 oflag=direct bs=$RBD_OBJ_SIZE $ dd if=/dev/rbd0 iflag=direct of=/dev/null bs=$RBD_OBJ_SIZE Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org>
2015-06-25rbd: timeout watch teardown on unmap with mount_timeoutIlya Dryomov
As part of unmap sequence, kernel client has to talk to the OSDs to teardown watch on the header object. If none of the OSDs are available it would hang forever, until interrupted by a signal - when that happens we follow through with the rest of unmap procedure (i.e. unregister the device and put all the data structures) and the unmap is still considired successful (rbd cli tool exits with 0). The watch on the userspace side should eventually timeout so that's fine. This isn't very nice, because various userspace tools (pacemaker rbd resource agent, for example) then have to worry about setting up their own timeouts. Timeout it with mount_timeout (60 seconds by default). Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov <idryomov@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Alex Elder <elder@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Sage Weil <sage@redhat.com>
2015-06-25libceph: store timeouts in jiffies, verify user inputIlya Dryomov
There are currently three libceph-level timeouts that the user can specify on mount: mount_timeout, osd_idle_ttl and osdkeepalive. All of these are in seconds and no checking is done on user input: negative values are accepted, we multiply them all by HZ which may or may not overflow, arbitrarily large jiffies then get added together, etc. There is also a bug in the way mount_timeout=0 is handled. It's supposed to mean "infinite timeout", but that's not how wait.h APIs treat it and so __ceph_open_session() for example will busy loop without much chance of being interrupted if none of ceph-mons are there. Fix all this by verifying user input, storing timeouts capped by msecs_to_jiffies() in jiffies and using the new ceph_timeout_jiffies() helper for all user-specified waits to handle infinite timeouts correctly.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 core updates from Ingo Molnar: "There were so many changes in the x86/asm, x86/apic and x86/mm topics in this cycle that the topical separation of -tip broke down somewhat - so the result is a more traditional architecture pull request, collected into the 'x86/core' topic. The topics were still maintained separately as far as possible, so bisectability and conceptual separation should still be pretty good - but there were a handful of merge points to avoid excessive dependencies (and conflicts) that would have been poorly tested in the end. The next cycle will hopefully be much more quiet (or at least will have fewer dependencies). The main changes in this cycle were: * x86/apic changes, with related IRQ core changes: (Jiang Liu, Thomas Gleixner) - This is the second and most intrusive part of changes to the x86 interrupt handling - full conversion to hierarchical interrupt domains: [IOAPIC domain] ----- | [MSI domain] --------[Remapping domain] ----- [ Vector domain ] | (optional) | [HPET MSI domain] ----- | | [DMAR domain] ----------------------------- | [Legacy domain] ----------------------------- This now reflects the actual hardware and allowed us to distangle the domain specific code from the underlying parent domain, which can be optional in the case of interrupt remapping. It's a clear separation of functionality and removes quite some duct tape constructs which plugged the remap code between ioapic/msi/hpet and the vector management. - Intel IOMMU IRQ remapping enhancements, to allow direct interrupt injection into guests (Feng Wu) * x86/asm changes: - Tons of cleanups and small speedups, micro-optimizations. This is in preparation to move a good chunk of the low level entry code from assembly to C code (Denys Vlasenko, Andy Lutomirski, Brian Gerst) - Moved all system entry related code to a new home under arch/x86/entry/ (Ingo Molnar) - Removal of the fragile and ugly CFI dwarf debuginfo annotations. Conversion to C will reintroduce many of them - but meanwhile they are only getting in the way, and the upstream kernel does not rely on them (Ingo Molnar) - NOP handling refinements. (Borislav Petkov) * x86/mm changes: - Big PAT and MTRR rework: making the code more robust and preparing to phase out exposing direct MTRR interfaces to drivers - in favor of using PAT driven interfaces (Toshi Kani, Luis R Rodriguez, Borislav Petkov) - New ioremap_wt()/set_memory_wt() interfaces to support Write-Through cached memory mappings. This is especially important for good performance on NVDIMM hardware (Toshi Kani) * x86/ras changes: - Add support for deferred errors on AMD (Aravind Gopalakrishnan) This is an important RAS feature which adds hardware support for poisoned data. That means roughly that the hardware marks data which it has detected as corrupted but wasn't able to correct, as poisoned data and raises an APIC interrupt to signal that in the form of a deferred error. It is the OS's responsibility then to take proper recovery action and thus prolonge system lifetime as far as possible. - Add support for Intel "Local MCE"s: upcoming CPUs will support CPU-local MCE interrupts, as opposed to the traditional system- wide broadcasted MCE interrupts (Ashok Raj) - Misc cleanups (Borislav Petkov) * x86/platform changes: - Intel Atom SoC updates ... and lots of other cleanups, fixlets and other changes - see the shortlog and the Git log for details" * 'x86-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (222 commits) x86/hpet: Use proper hpet device number for MSI allocation x86/hpet: Check for irq==0 when allocating hpet MSI interrupts x86/mm/pat, drivers/infiniband/ipath: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/mm/pat, drivers/media/ivtv: Use arch_phys_wc_add() and require PAT disabled x86/platform/intel/baytrail: Add comments about why we disabled HPET on Baytrail genirq: Prevent crash in irq_move_irq() genirq: Enhance irq_data_to_desc() to support hierarchy irqdomain iommu, x86: Properly handle posted interrupts for IOMMU hotplug iommu, x86: Provide irq_remapping_cap() interface iommu, x86: Setup Posted-Interrupts capability for Intel iommu iommu, x86: Add cap_pi_support() to detect VT-d PI capability iommu, x86: Avoid migrating VT-d posted interrupts iommu, x86: Save the mode (posted or remapped) of an IRTE iommu, x86: Implement irq_set_vcpu_affinity for intel_ir_chip iommu: dmar: Provide helper to copy shared irte fields iommu: dmar: Extend struct irte for VT-d Posted-Interrupts iommu: Add new member capability to struct irq_remap_ops x86/asm/entry/64: Disentangle error_entry/exit gsbase/ebx/usermode code x86/asm/entry/32: Shorten __audit_syscall_entry() args preparation x86/asm/entry/32: Explain reloading of registers after __audit_syscall_entry() ...
