2018-02-11vfs: do bulk POLL* -> EPOLL* replacementLinus Torvalds1-1/+1
This is the mindless scripted replacement of kernel use of POLL* variables as described by Al, done by this script: for V in IN OUT PRI ERR RDNORM RDBAND WRNORM WRBAND HUP RDHUP NVAL MSG; do L=`git grep -l -w POLL$V | grep -v '^t' | grep -v /um/ | grep -v '^sa' | grep -v '/poll.h$'|grep -v '^D'` for f in $L; do sed -i "-es/^\([^\"]*\)\(\<POLL$V\>\)/\\1E\\2/" $f; done done with de-mangling cleanups yet to come. NOTE! On almost all architectures, the EPOLL* constants have the same values as the POLL* constants do. But they keyword here is "almost". For various bad reasons they aren't the same, and epoll() doesn't actually work quite correctly in some cases due to this on Sparc et al. The next patch from Al will sort out the final differences, and we should be all done. Scripted-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2017-09-25dm ioctl: fix alignment of event number in the device listMikulas Patocka1-13/+24
The size of struct dm_name_list is different on 32-bit and 64-bit kernels (so "(nl + 1)" differs between 32-bit and 64-bit kernels). This mismatch caused some harmless difference in padding when using 32-bit or 64-bit kernel. Commit 23d70c5e52dd ("dm ioctl: report event number in DM_LIST_DEVICES") added reporting event number in the output of DM_LIST_DEVICES_CMD. This difference in padding makes it impossible for userspace to determine the location of the event number (the location would be different when running on 32-bit and 64-bit kernels). Fix the padding by using offsetof(struct dm_name_list, name) instead of sizeof(struct dm_name_list) to determine the location of entries. Also, the ioctl version number is incremented to 37 so that userspace can use the version number to determine that the event number is present and correctly located. In addition, a global event is now raised when a DM device is created, removed, renamed or when table is swapped, so that the user can monitor for device changes.

2017-06-19dm ioctl: report event number in DM_LIST_DEVICESMikulas Patocka1-1/+5
Report the event numbers for all the devices, so that the user doesn't have to ask them one by one. The event number is reported after the name field in the dm_name_list structure. The location of the next record is specified in the dm_name_list->next field, that means that we can put the new data after the end of name and it is backward compatible with the old code. The old code just skips the event number without interpreting it.

2017-06-19dm ioctl: add a new DM_DEV_ARM_POLL ioctlMikulas Patocka1-21/+35
This ioctl will record the current global event number in the structure dm_file, so that next select or poll call will wait until new events arrived since this ioctl. The DM_DEV_ARM_POLL ioctl has the same effect as closing and reopening the handle. Using the DM_DEV_ARM_POLL ioctl is optional - if the userspace is OK with closing and reopening the /dev/mapper/control handle after select or poll, there is no need to re-arm via ioctl. Usage: 1. open the /dev/mapper/control device 2. send the DM_DEV_ARM_POLL ioctl 3. scan the event numbers of all devices we are interested in and process them 4. call select, poll or epoll on the handle (it waits until some new event happens since the DM_DEV_ARM_POLL ioctl) 5. go to step 2 Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andy Grover <agrover@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com>
2017-06-19dm: add basic support for using the select or poll functionMikulas Patocka1-1/+48
Add the ability to poll on the /dev/mapper/control device. The select or poll function waits until any event happens on any dm device since opening the /dev/mapper/control device. When select or poll returns the device as readable, we must close and reopen the device to wait for new dm events. Usage: 1. open the /dev/mapper/control device 2. scan the event numbers of all devices we are interested in and process them 3. call select, poll or epoll on the handle (it waits until some new event happens since opening the device) 4. close the /dev/mapper/control handle 5. go to step 1 The next commit allows to re-arm the polling without closing and reopening the device.

2015-04-30dm: only initialize the request_queue onceChristoph Hellwig1-8/+9
Commit bfebd1cdb4 ("dm: add full blk-mq support to request-based DM") didn't properly account for the need to short-circuit re-initializing DM's blk-mq request_queue if it was already initialized. Otherwise, reloading a blk-mq request-based DM table (either manually or via multipathd) resulted in errors, see: https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2015-April/msg00132.html Fix is to only initialize the request_queue on the initial table load (when the mapped_device type is assigned). This is better than having dm_init_request_based_blk_mq_queue() return early if the queue was already initialized because it elevates the constraint to a more meaningful location in DM core.

2014-11-19dm: enhance internal suspend and resume interfaceMike Snitzer1-1/+4
Rename dm_internal_{suspend,resume} to dm_internal_{suspend,resume}_fast -- dm-stats will continue using these methods to avoid all the extra suspend/resume logic that is not needed in order to quickly flush IO. Introduce dm_internal_suspend_noflush() variant that actually calls the mapped_device's target callbacks -- otherwise target-specific hooks are avoided (e.g. dm-thin's thin_presuspend and thin_postsuspend). Common code between dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} and dm_{suspend,resume} was factored out as __dm_{suspend,resume}. Update dm_internal_{suspend_noflush,resume} to always take and release the mapped_device's suspend_lock. Also update dm_{suspend,resume} to be aware of potential for DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to be set and respond accordingly by interruptibly waiting for the DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to be cleared. Add lockdep annotation to dm_suspend() and dm_resume(). The existing DM_SUSPEND_FLAG remains unchanged. DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG is set by dm_internal_suspend_noflush() and cleared by dm_internal_resume(). Both DM_SUSPEND_FLAG and DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG may be set if a device was already suspended when dm_internal_suspend_noflush() was called -- this can be thought of as a "nested suspend". A "nested suspend" can occur with legacy userspace dm-thin code that might suspend all active thin volumes before suspending the pool for resize. But otherwise, in the normal dm-thin-pool suspend case moving forward: the thin-pool will have DM_SUSPEND_FLAG set and all active thins from that thin-pool will have DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG set. Also add DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG to status report. This new DM_INTERNAL_SUSPEND_FLAG state is being reported to assist with debugging (e.g. 'dmsetup info' will report an internally suspended device accordingly).

2014-10-05dm: allow active and inactive tables to share dm_devsBenjamin Marzinski1-1/+1
Until this change, when loading a new DM table, DM core would re-open all of the devices in the DM table. Now, DM core will avoid redundant device opens (and closes when destroying the old table) if the old table already has a device open using the same mode. This is achieved by managing reference counts on the table_devices that DM core now stores in the mapped_device structure (rather than in the dm_table structure). So a mapped_device's active and inactive dm_tables' dm_dev lists now just point to the dm_devs stored in the mapped_device's table_devices list. This improvement in DM core's device reference counting has the side-effect of fixing a long-standing limitation of the multipath target: a DM multipath table couldn't include any paths that were unusable (failed). For example: if all paths have failed and you add a new, working, path to the table; you can't use it since the table load would fail due to it still containing failed paths. Now a re-load of a multipath table can include failed devices and when those devices become active again they can be used instantly. The device list code in dm.c isn't a straight copy/paste from the code in dm-table.c, but it's very close (aside from some variable renames). One subtle difference is that find_table_device for the tables_devices list will only match devices with the same name and mode. This is because we don't want to upgrade a device's mode in the active table when an inactive table is loaded. Access to the mapped_device structure's tables_devices list requires a mutex (tables_devices_lock), so that tables cannot be created and destroyed concurrently.

2013-11-09dm: allow remove to be deferredMikulas Patocka1-6/+30
This patch allows the removal of an open device to be deferred until it is closed. (Previously such a removal attempt would fail.) The deferred remove functionality is enabled by setting the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE in the ioctl structure on DM_DEV_REMOVE or DM_REMOVE_ALL ioctl. On return from DM_DEV_REMOVE, the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE indicates if the device was removed immediately or flagged to be removed on close - if the flag is clear, the device was removed. On return from DM_DEV_STATUS and other ioctls, the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE is set if the device is scheduled to be removed on closure. A device that is scheduled to be deleted can be revived using the message "@cancel_deferred_remove". This message clears the DMF_DEFERRED_REMOVE flag so that the device won't be deleted on close.

2013-09-05dm: add statistics supportMikulas Patocka1-8/+14
Support the collection of I/O statistics on user-defined regions of a DM device. If no regions are defined no statistics are collected so there isn't any performance impact. Only bio-based DM devices are currently supported. Each user-defined region specifies a starting sector, length and step. Individual statistics will be collected for each step-sized area within the range specified. The I/O statistics counters for each step-sized area of a region are in the same format as /sys/block/*/stat or /proc/diskstats but extra counters (12 and 13) are provided: total time spent reading and writing in milliseconds. All these counters may be accessed by sending the @stats_print message to the appropriate DM device via dmsetup. The creation of DM statistics will allocate memory via kmalloc or fallback to using vmalloc space. At most, 1/4 of the overall system memory may be allocated by DM statistics. The admin can see how much memory is used by reading /sys/module/dm_mod/parameters/stats_current_allocated_bytes See Documentation/device-mapper/statistics.txt for more details.

This patch removes "io_lock" and "map_lock" in struct mapped_device and "holders" in struct dm_table and replaces these mechanisms with sleepable-rcu. Previously, the code would call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_table_put" to get and release table. Now, the code is changed to call "dm_get_live_table" and "dm_put_live_table". dm_get_live_table locks sleepable-rcu and dm_put_live_table unlocks it. dm_get_live_table_fast/dm_put_live_table_fast can be used instead of dm_get_live_table/dm_put_live_table.

2013-03-01dm ioctl: optimize functions without variable paramsMikulas Patocka1-18/+34
Device-mapper ioctls receive and send data in a buffer supplied by userspace. The buffer has two parts. The first part contains a 'struct dm_ioctl' and has a fixed size. The second part depends on the ioctl and has a variable size. This patch recognises the specific ioctls that do not use the variable part of the buffer and skips allocating memory for it. In particular, when a device is suspended and a resume ioctl is sent, this now avoid memory allocation completely. The variable "struct dm_ioctl tmp" is moved from the function copy_params to its caller ctl_ioctl and renamed to param_kernel. It is used directly when the ioctl function doesn't need any arguments.

When processing a table or status request, the function retrieve_status calls ti->type->status. If ti->type->status returns non-zero, retrieve_status assumes that the buffer overflowed and sets DM_BUFFER_FULL_FLAG. However, targets don't return non-zero values from their status method on overflow. Most targets returns always zero. If a buffer overflow happens in a target that is not the last in the table, it gets noticed during the next iteration of the loop in retrieve_status; but if a buffer overflow happens in the last target, it goes unnoticed and erroneously truncated data is returned. In the current code, the targets behave in the following way: * dm-crypt returns -ENOMEM if there is not enough space to store the key, but it returns 0 on all other overflows. * dm-thin returns errors from the status method if a disk error happened. This is incorrect because retrieve_status doesn't check the error code, it assumes that all non-zero values mean buffer overflow. * all the other targets always return 0. This patch changes the ti->type->status function to return void (because most targets don't use the return code). Overflow is detected in retrieve_status: if the status method fills up the remaining space completely, it is assumed that buffer overflow happened.

2012-12-21dm ioctl: use kmalloc if possibleMikulas Patocka1-13/+32
If the parameter buffer is small enough, try to allocate it with kmalloc() rather than vmalloc(). vmalloc is noticeably slower than kmalloc because it has to manipulate page tables. In my tests, on PA-RISC this patch speeds up activation 13 times. On Opteron this patch speeds up activation by 5%. This patch introduces a new function free_params() to free the parameters and this uses new flags that record whether or not vmalloc() was used and whether or not the input buffer must be wiped after use.

2012-12-21dm ioctl: prevent unsafe change to dm_ioctl data_sizeAlasdair G Kergon1-0/+8
Abort dm ioctl processing if userspace changes the data_size parameter after we validated it but before we finished copying the data buffer from userspace. The dm ioctl parameters are processed in the following sequence: 1. ctl_ioctl() calls copy_params(); 2. copy_params() makes a first copy of the fixed-sized portion of the userspace parameters into the local variable "tmp"; 3. copy_params() then validates tmp.data_size and allocates a new structure big enough to hold the complete data and copies the whole userspace buffer there; 4. ctl_ioctl() reads userspace data the second time and copies the whole buffer into the pointer "param"; 5. ctl_ioctl() reads param->data_size without any validation and stores it in the variable "input_param_size"; 6. "input_param_size" is further used as the authoritative size of the kernel buffer. The problem is that userspace code could change the contents of user memory between steps 2 and 4. In particular, the data_size parameter can be changed to an invalid value after the kernel has validated it. This lets userspace force the kernel to access invalid kernel memory. The fix is to ensure that the size has not changed at step 4. This patch shouldn't have a security impact because CAP_SYS_ADMIN is required to run this code, but it should be fixed anyway.

2012-07-27dm thin: commit before gathering statusAlasdair G Kergon1-1/+4
Commit outstanding metadata before returning the status for a dm thin pool so that the numbers reported are as up-to-date as possible. The commit is not performed if the device is suspended or if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG is supplied by userspace and passed to the target through a new 'status_flags' parameter in the target's dm_status_fn. The userspace dmsetup tool will support the --noflush flag with the 'dmsetup status' and 'dmsetup wait' commands from version 1.02.76 onwards.

2012-03-28dm: reject trailing characters in sccanf inputMikulas Patocka1-2/+3
Device mapper uses sscanf to convert arguments to numbers. The problem is that the way we use it ignores additional unmatched characters in the scanned string. For example, this `if (sscanf(string, "%d", &number) == 1)' will match a number, but also it will match number with some garbage appended, like "123abc". As a result, device mapper accepts garbage after some numbers. For example the command `dmsetup create vg1-new --table "0 16384 linear 254:1bla 34816bla"' will pass without an error. This patch fixes all sscanf uses in device mapper. It appends "%c" with a pointer to a dummy character variable to every sscanf statement. The construct `if (sscanf(string, "%d%c", &number, &dummy) == 1)' succeeds only if string is a null-terminated number (optionally preceded by some whitespace characters). If there is some character appended after the number, sscanf matches "%c", writes the character to the dummy variable and returns 2. We check the return value for 1 and consequently reject numbers with some garbage appended.

2012-03-07dm ioctl: do not leak argv if target message only contains whitespaceJesper Juhl1-1/+1
If 'argc' is zero we jump to the 'out:' label, but this leaks the (unused) memory that 'dm_split_args()' allocated for 'argv' if the string being split consisted entirely of whitespace. Jump to the 'out_argv:' label instead to free up that memory. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <jj@chaosbits.net> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2011-10-31dm table: add immutable featureAlasdair G Kergon1-0/+11
Introduce DM_TARGET_IMMUTABLE to indicate that the target type cannot be mixed with any other target type, and once loaded into a device, it cannot be replaced with a table containing a different type. The thin provisioning pool device will use this. Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
2011-08-02dm ioctl: forbid multiple device specifiersMikulas Patocka1-0/+6
Exactly one of name, uuid or device must be specified when referencing an existing device. This removes the ambiguity (risking the wrong device being updated) if two conflicting parameters were specified. Previously one parameter got used and any others were ignored silently.
