2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

The size regression is fixed by moving all dax helpers into the dax-core and only specifying "select DAX" for FS_DAX and dax-capable drivers.

For configurations that do not enable DAX filesystems or drivers, do not require the DAX core to be built. Given that the 'direct_access' method has been removed from 'block_device_operations', we can also go ahead and remove the block-related dax helper functions from fs/block_dev.c to drivers/dax/super.c. This keeps dax details out of the block layer and lets the DAX core be built as a module in the FS_DAX=n case. Filesystems need to include dax.h to call bdev_dax_supported().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "The bulk of this has been in multiple -next releases. There were a few late breaking fixes and small features that got added in the last couple days, but the whole set has received a build success notification from the kbuild robot. Change summary: - Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax" or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section 9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices. - Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for dax capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations. This fixes the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures and platforms to add customized persistent memory support. - 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger memory controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would otherwise be flushed automatically by the platform ADR (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh) mechanism at a power loss event. Support for "locked" DIMMs is included to prevent namespaces from surfacing when the namespace label data area is locked. Finally, fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes, also tagged for -stable. - ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to add DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM payload debug available by default, and various fixes.

2017-04-20dax: introduce dax_direct_access()Dan Williams1-0/+1
Replace bdev_direct_access() with dax_direct_access() that uses dax_device and dax_operations instead of a block_device and block_device_operations for dax. Once all consumers of the old api have been converted bdev_direct_access() will be deleted. Given that block device partitioning decisions can cause dax page alignment constraints to be violated this also introduces the bdev_dax_pgoff() helper. It handles calculating a logical pgoff relative to the dax_device and also checks for page alignment. Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

2016-11-10block: hook up writeback throttlingJens Axboe1-0/+26
Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity. Background writeback should be, by definition, background activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads, which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback, unless someone is waiting for it. The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the windows where we get good behavior. Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window. When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's stable state of a zero scale count. The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and 75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting. We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will rely on CFQ doing that for us. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-11-02blk-mq: Introduce blk_mq_quiesce_queue()Bart Van Assche1-0/+1
blk_mq_quiesce_queue() waits until ongoing .queue_rq() invocations have finished. This function does *not* wait until all outstanding requests have finished (this means invocation of request.end_io()). The algorithm used by blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is as follows: * Hold either an RCU read lock or an SRCU read lock around .queue_rq() calls. The former is used if .queue_rq() does not block and the latter if .queue_rq() may block. * blk_mq_quiesce_queue() first calls blk_mq_stop_hw_queues() followed by synchronize_srcu() or synchronize_rcu(). The latter call waits for .queue_rq() invocations that started before blk_mq_quiesce_queue() was called. * The blk_mq_hctx_stopped() calls that control whether or not .queue_rq() will be called are called with the (S)RCU read lock held. This is necessary to avoid race conditions against blk_mq_quiesce_queue().

However, that name is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot arg processing, when it really is block specific. Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_ prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it is block specific. In addition, fix up the following less critical items: - help text was not really at all helpful. - index file for Documentation was not updated - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt - clarify wording in source comments Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Cai Zhiyong <caizhiyong@huawei.com> Cc: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@trendmicro.com.cn> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2011-01-20kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERTDavid Rientjes1-1/+1
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

2010-04-26blk-cgroup: config options re-arrangementVivek Goyal1-23/+0
This patch fixes few usability and configurability issues. o All the cgroup based controller options are configurable from "Genral Setup/Control Group Support/" menu. blkio is the only exception. Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers. o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED. This option currently does two things. - Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace - Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat files in cgroup. If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of all the additional debug stat files which is not desired. Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which can be enabled through config menu.

2009-04-28block: enable by default support for large devices and files on 32-bit archsBartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz1-4/+7
Enable by default support for large devices and files (CONFIG_LBD): - With 1TB disks being a commodity hardware it is quite easy to hit 2TB limitation while building RAIDs etc. and many distros have been using CONFIG_LBD=y by default already (at least Fedora 10 and openSUSE 11.1). - This should also prevent a subtle ext4 filesystem compatibility issue: mke2fs.ext4 defaults to creating filesystems with huge_files feature enabled and such filesystems cannot be later mounted read-write on machines with CONFIG_LBD=n (it should be quite easy to hit this issue when trying to use filesystem created using distro kernel on system running the self-build kernel, think about USB disk enclosures & co.). While at it: - Clarify config option help text w.r.t. mounting ext4 filesystems (they can be mounted with CONFIG_LBD=n but in the read-only mode).

2008-04-21Kconfig: clean up block/Kconfig help descriptionsNick Andrew1-23/+42
Modify the help descriptions of block/Kconfig for clarity, accuracy and consistency. Refactor the BLOCK description a bit. The wording "This permits ... to be removed" isn't quite right; the block layer is removed when the option is disabled, whereas most descriptions talk about what happens when the option is enabled. Reformat the list of what is affected by disabling the block layer. Add more examples of large block devices to LBD and strive for technical accuracy; block devices of size _exactly_ 2TB require CONFIG_LBD, not only "bigger than 2TB". Also try to say (perhaps not very clearly) that the config option is only needed when you want to have individual block devices of size >= 2TB, for example if you had 3 x 1TB disks in your computer you'd have a total storage size of 3TB but you wouldn't need the option unless you want to aggregate those disks into a RAID or LVM. Improve terminology and grammar on BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE. I also added the boilerplate "If unsure, say N" to most options. Precisely say "2TB and larger" for LSF. Indent the help text for BLK_DEV_BSG by 2 spaces in accordance with the standard.
