2006-01-06[PATCH] nbd: fix TX/RX race conditionHerbert Xu1-62/+60
Janos Haar of First NetCenter Bt. reported numerous crashes involving the NBD driver. With his help, this was tracked down to bogus bio vectors which in turn was the result of a race condition between the receive/transmit routines in the NBD driver. The bug manifests itself like this: CPU0 CPU1 do_nbd_request add req to queuelist nbd_send_request send req head for each bio kmap send nbd_read_stat nbd_find_request nbd_end_request kunmap When CPU1 finishes nbd_end_request, the request and all its associated bio's are freed. So when CPU0 calls kunmap whose argument is derived from the last bio, it may crash. Under normal circumstances, the race occurs only on the last bio. However, if an error is encountered on the remote NBD server (such as an incorrect magic number in the request), or if there were a bug in the server, it is possible for the nbd_end_request to occur any time after the request's addition to the queuelist. The following patch fixes this problem by making sure that requests are not added to the queuelist until after they have been completed transmission. In order for the receiving side to be ready for responses involving requests still being transmitted, the patch introduces the concept of the active request. When a response matches the current active request, its processing is delayed until after the tranmission has come to a stop. This has been tested by Janos and it has been successful in curing this race condition. From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Here is an updated patch which removes the active_req wait in nbd_clear_queue and the associated memory barrier. I've also clarified this in the comment.

2006-01-06[BLOCK] add @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn()Tejun Heo8-8/+8
add @uptodate argument to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn(). there's no generic way to pass error code to request completion function, making generic error handling of non-fs request difficult (rq->errors is driver-specific and each driver uses it differently). this patch adds @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn(). for fs requests, this doesn't really matter, so just using the same uptodate argument used in the last call to end_that_request_first() should suffice. imho, this can also help the generic command-carrying request jens is working on.

2006-01-03[PATCH] add AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, prepend AOP_ to WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATEZach Brown2-7/+20
readpage(), prepare_write(), and commit_write() callers are updated to understand the special return code AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE in the style of writepage() and WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE. AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE tells the caller that the callee has unlocked the page and that the operation should be tried again with a new page. OCFS2 uses this to detect and work around a lock inversion in its aop methods. There should be no change in behaviour for methods that don't return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE. WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE is also prepended with AOP_ for consistency and they are made enums so that kerneldoc can be used to document their semantics. Signed-off-by: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com>

2005-11-09[PATCH] fix floppy.c to store correct ro/rw status in underlying gendiskJon Masters1-0/+6
Evgeny Stambulchik found that doing the following always worked: # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/ mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only # mount -o remount,rw /mnt/floppy # echo $? 0 This is the case because the block device /dev/fd0 is writeable but the floppy disk is marked protected. A fix is to simply have floppy_open mark the underlying gendisk policy according to reality (since the VFS doesn't provide a way for do_remount_sb to inquire as to the current device status).

2005-11-07[PATCH] as: cooperating processesNick Piggin1-145/+165
Introduce the notion of cooperating processes (those that submit requests close to one another), and use these statistics to make better choices about whether or not to do anticipatory waiting. Help and analysis from Seetharami Seelam <seelam@cs.utep.edu> Performance testing from Seelam: I set up my system and executed a couple of tests that I used for OLS. I tested with AS, cooperative process patch merged in -mm tree (which I called Nick, below) and the cooperative patch with modifications to as_update_iohist (which I called Seelam). I used a dual-processor (2.28GHz Pentium 4 Xeon) system, with 1 GB main memory and 1 MB L2 cache, running Linux 2.6.9. Only a single processor is used for the experiments. I used 7.2K RPM Maxtor 10GB drive configured with ext2 file system. Experiment 1 (ex1) consists of reading one Linux source trees using find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null. Experiment 2 (ex2) consists of reading two disjoint Linux source trees using find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null. Experiment 3 (ex3) consists of streaming read of a 2GB file in the background and 1 instance of the chunk reads in Experiment 1. Timings for reading the Linux source are shown below: AS Nick Seelam ex1: 0m25.813s 0m27.859s 0m27.640s ex2: 1m11.468s 1m13.918s 1m5.869s ex3: 81m44.352s 10m38.572s 6m47.994s The difference between the numbers in Experiment 3 must be due to the code in as_update_iohist.

2005-11-01[PATCH] blk: fix dangling pointer access in __elv_add_requestTejun Heo1-1/+6
cfq's add_req_fn callback may invoke q->request_fn directly and depending on low-level driver used and timing, a queued request may be finished & deallocated before add_req_fn callback returns. So, __elv_add_request must not access rq after it's passed to add_req_fn callback. This patch moves rq_mergeable test above add_req_fn(). This may result in q->last_merge pointing to REQ_NOMERGE request if add_req_fn callback sets it but as RQ_NOMERGE is checked again when blk layer actually tries to merge requests, this does not cause any problem.

2005-10-31[PATCH] noop-iosched: avoid corrupted request mergingJens Axboe1-0/+1
Tejun Heo notes: "I'm currently debugging this.

I'm still trying to verify this, so I'll be back with results soon." In the meantime, disable merging for noop by setting REQ_NOMERGE in elevator_noop_add_request(). Eventually, we should add a noop_list and do the dispatching like in the other io schedulers. Merging is still beneficial for noop (and it has always done it).

2005-10-30[PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau4-3/+11
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.
