2013-07-03nbd: correct disconnect behaviorPaul Clements1-1/+6
Currently, when a disconnect is requested by the user (via NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl) the return from NBD_DO_IT is undefined (it is usually one of several error codes). This means that nbd-client does not know if a manual disconnect was performed or whether a network error occurred. Because of this, nbd-client's persist mode (which tries to reconnect after error, but not after manual disconnect) does not always work correctly. This change fixes this by causing NBD_DO_IT to always return 0 if a user requests a disconnect. This means that nbd-client can correctly either persist the connection (if an error occurred) or disconnect (if the user requested it).

2013-07-03block: do not pass disk names as format stringsKees Cook1-1/+2
Disk names may contain arbitrary strings, so they must not be interpreted as format strings. It seems that only md allows arbitrary strings to be used for disk names, but this could allow for a local memory corruption from uid 0 into ring 0.

2013-04-30nbd: increase default and max request sizesMichal Belczyk1-0/+2
Raise the default max request size for nbd to 128KB (from 127KB) to get it 4KB aligned. This patch also allows the max request size to be increased (via /sys/block/nbd<x>/queue/max_sectors_kb) to 32MB. The patch makes nbd network traffic more efficient by: - reducing request fragmentation (4KB alignment) - reducing the number of requests (fewer round trips, less network overhead) Especially in high latency networks, larger request size can make a dramatic Signed-off-by: Paul Clements <paul.clements@steeleye.com> Signed-off-by: Michal Belczyk <belczyk@bsd.krakow.pl> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

I just fixed this in "drivers/block/rbd.c" and I noticed that "drivers/block/nbd.c" has the same problem. Fix a warning issued by sparse by adding some lockdep annotations to indicate the queue lock gets dropped (because it's held when do_nbd_request() is called) and re-acquired within the function.

2013-02-27nbd: fsync and kill block device on shutdownPaolo Bonzini1-0/+10
There are two problems with shutdown in the NBD driver. 1: Receiving the NBD_DISCONNECT ioctl does not sync the filesystem. This patch adds the sync operation into __nbd_ioctl()'s NBD_DISCONNECT handler. This is useful because BLKFLSBUF is restricted to processes that have CAP_SYS_ADMIN, and the NBD client may not possess it (fsync of the block device does not sync the filesystem, either). 2: Once we clear the socket we have no guarantee that later reads will come from the same backing storage. The patch adds calls to kill_bdev() in __nbd_ioctl()'s socket clearing code so the page cache is cleaned, lest reads that hit on the page cache will return stale data from the previously-accessible disk. Example: # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sr0 # file -s /dev/nbd0 /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc. # qemu-nbd -d /dev/nbd0 # qemu-nbd -r -c/dev/nbd0 /dev/sda # file -s /dev/nbd0 /dev/stdin: # UDF filesystem data (version 1.5) etc. While /dev/sda has: # file -s /dev/sda /dev/sda: x86 boot sector; etc. Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Acked-by: Paul Clements <Paul.Clements@steeleye.com> Cc: Alex Bligh <alex@alex.org.uk> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2013-02-27nbd: support FLUSH requestsAlex Bligh1-2/+20
Currently, the NBD device does not accept flush requests from the Linux block layer. If the NBD server opened the target with neither O_SYNC nor O_DSYNC, however, the device will be effectively backed by a writeback cache. Without issuing flushes properly, operation of the NBD device will not be safe against power losses. The NBD protocol has support for both a cache flush command and a FUA command flag; the server will also pass a flag to note its support for these features. This patch adds support for the cache flush command and flag. In the kernel, we receive the flags via the NBD_SET_FLAGS ioctl, and map NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH to the argument of blk_queue_flush. When the flag is active the block layer will send REQ_FLUSH requests, which we translate to NBD_CMD_FLUSH commands. FUA support is not included in this patch because all free software servers implement it with a full fdatasync; thus it has no advantage over supporting flush only. Because I [Paolo] cannot really benchmark it in a realistic scenario, I cannot tell if it is a good idea or not. It is also not clear if it is valid for an NBD server to support FUA but not flush. The Linux block layer gives a warning for this combination, the NBD protocol documentation says nothing about it. The patch also fixes a small problem in the handling of flags: nbd->flags must be cleared at the end of NBD_DO_IT, but the driver was not doing that. The bug manifests itself as follows. Suppose you two different client/server pairs to start the NBD device. Suppose also that the first client supports NBD_SET_FLAGS, and the first server sends NBD_FLAG_SEND_FLUSH; the second pair instead does neither of these two things. Before this patch, the second invocation of NBD_DO_IT will use a stale value of nbd->flags, and the second server will issue an error every time it receives an NBD_CMD_FLUSH command. This bug is pre-existing, but it becomes much more important after this patch; flush failures make the device pretty much unusable, unlike Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alex Bligh <alex@alex.org.uk> Acked-by: Paul Clements <Paul.Clements@steeleye.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2012-10-06nbd: handle discard requestsPaul Clements1-1/+14
Add discard support to nbd. If the nbd-server supports discard, it will send NBD_FLAG_SEND_TRIM to the client. The client will then set the flag in the kernel via NBD_SET_FLAGS, which tells the kernel to enable discards for the device (QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD). If discard support is enabled, then when the nbd client system receives a discard request, this will be passed along to the nbd-server. When the discard request is received by the nbd-server, it will perform: fallocate(.. FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE ..) To punch a hole in the backend storage, which is no longer needed.

2012-10-06nbd: add set flags ioctlPaul Clements1-1/+7
Add a set-flags ioctl, allowing various option flags to be set on an nbd device. This allows the nbd-client to set the device flags (to enable read-only mode, or enable discard support, etc.). Flags are typically specified by the nbd-server. During the negotiation phase of the nbd connection, the server sends its flags to the client. The client then uses NBD_SET_FLAGS to inform the kernel of the options. Also included is a one-line fix to debug output for the set-timeout ioctl.

2012-09-17nbd: clear waiting_queue on shutdownPaul Clements1-0/+9
Fix a serious but uncommon bug in nbd which occurs when there is heavy I/O going to the nbd device while, at the same time, a failure (server, network) or manual disconnect of the nbd connection occurs. There is a small window between the time that the nbd_thread is stopped and the socket is shutdown where requests can continue to be queued to nbd's internal waiting_queue. When this happens, those requests are never completed or freed. The fix is to clear the waiting_queue on shutdown of the nbd device, in the same way that the nbd request queue (queue_head) is already being cleared.

2011-05-28nbd: adjust 'max_part' according to part_shiftNamhyung Kim1-1/+12
The 'max_part' parameter determines how many partitions are supported on each nbd device. However the actual number can be changed to the power of 2 minus 1 form during the module initialization as alloc_disk() is called with (1 << part_shift) for some reason. So adjust 'max_part' also at least for consistency with loop and brd.

The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition a nbd device can have.

It's clearly wrong, and as far as I can see, it's entirely unnecessary, since the nbd driver maintains per-device mutexes, and I don't see anything that would require a module-level (or kernel-level, for that matter) mutex.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-05-11block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetchTejun Heo1-3/+1
Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution. A request is always acquired from the request queue via elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request() to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight. Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with segments only without considering request boundary. However, the benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer and its more modern users. Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing model. This patch completes the API transition by... * renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request() * renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request() * adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start * disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests * applying new API to all LLDs Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

2009-02-11nbd: fix I/O hang on disconnected nbdsPaul Clements1-0/+9
Fix a problem that causes I/O to a disconnected (or partially initialized) nbd device to hang indefinitely. To reproduce: # ioctl NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS /dev/nbd23 514048 # dd if=/dev/nbd23 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1 ...hangs... This can also occur when an nbd device loses its nbd-client/server connection. Although we clear the queue of any outstanding I/Os after the client/server connection fails, any additional I/Os that get queued later will hang. This bug may also be the problem reported in this bug report: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12277 Testing would need to be performed to determine if the two issues are the same. This problem was introduced by the new request handling thread code ("NBD: allow nbd to be used locally", 3/2008), which entered into mainline around 2.6.25. The fix, which is fairly simple, is to restore the check for lo->sock being NULL in do_nbd_request. This causes I/O to an uninitialized nbd to immediately fail with an I/O error, as it did prior to the introduction of this bug.

2008-10-21[PATCH] beginning of methods conversionAl Viro1-1/+1
To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers; to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following: 1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset. 2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers are converted in this series. 3) kill the old (renamed) methods. Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver debugging if anything goes wrong. New methods: open(bdev, mode) release(disk, mode) ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */ compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */ Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs attribute->owner unnecessary. But the field was left in the structure to ease the merge. It's been over a year since that change and it is now time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at a time! This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 . We will deal with other arches later on as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I can test. Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config) and boot tested. akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside `#ifndef CONFIG_X86'.
