To be able to move some of the special purpose hacks in blk_rq_map_sg into the callers we need a variant that returns the last mapped S/G list element to the caller. Add that variant as __blk_rq_map_sg and make blk_rq_map_sg a trivial inline wrapper around it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

The RQF_COPY_USER is set for bio where the passthrough request mapping helpers decided that bounce buffering is required. It is then used to pad scatterlist for drivers that required it. But given that non-passthrough requests are per definition aligned, and directly mapped pass-through request must be aligned it is not actually required at all.

invalidate_partition and bdev_unhash_inode are always paired, and invalidate_partition already does an icache lookup for the block device inode. Piggy back on that to remove the inode from the hash.

This reverts commit 7e70aa78. Now that we have the patches ("blk-mq: In blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() "no budget" is a reason to kick") and ("blk-mq: Rerun dispatching in the case of budget contention") we should no longer need the fix in the SCSI code. Revert it, resolving conflicts with other patches that have touched this code. With this revert (and the two new patches) I can run the script that was in commit 7e70aa78 ("scsi: core: run queue if SCSI device queue isn't ready and queue is idle") in a loop with no failure. If I do this revert without the two new patches I can easily get a failure. Signed-off-by: Douglas Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Reviewed-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@redhat.com> Acked-by: Martin K.

If ever a thread running blk-mq code tries to get budget and fails it immediately stops doing work and assumes that whenever budget is freed up that queues will be kicked and whatever work the thread was trying to do will be tried again. One path where budget is freed and queues are kicked in the normal case can be seen in scsi_finish_command(). Specifically: - scsi_finish_command() - scsi_device_unbusy() - # Decrement "device_busy", AKA release budget - scsi_io_completion() - scsi_end_request() - blk_mq_run_hw_queues() The above is all well and good. The problem comes up when a thread claims the budget but then releases it without actually dispatching any work. Since we didn't schedule any work we'll never run the path of finishing work / kicking the queues. This isn't often actually a problem which is why this issue has existed for a while and nobody noticed. Specifically we only get into this situation when we unexpectedly found that we weren't going to do any work. Code that later receives new work kicks the queues. All good, right? The problem shows up, however, if timing is just wrong and we hit a race. To see this race let's think about the case where we only have a budget of 1 (only one thread can hold budget). Now imagine that a thread got budget and then decided not to dispatch work. It's about to call put_budget() but then the thread gets context switched out for a long, long time. While in this state, any and all kicks of the queue (like the when we received new work) will be no-ops because nobody can get budget. Finally the thread holding budget gets to run again and returns. All the normal kicks will have been no-ops and we have an I/O stall. As you can see from the above, you need just the right timing to see the race. To start with, the only case it happens if we thought we had work, actually managed to get the budget, but then actually didn't have work. That's pretty rare to start with. Even then, there's usually a very small amount of time between realizing that there's no work and putting the budget. During this small amount of time new work has to come in and the queue kick has to make it all the way to trying to get the budget and fail. It's pretty unlikely. One case where this could have failed is illustrated by an example of threads running blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched(): * Threads A and B both run has_work() at the same time with the same "hctx". Imagine has_work() is exact. There's no lock, so it's OK if Thread A and B both get back true. * Thread B gets interrupted for a long time right after it decides that there is work. Maybe its CPU gets an interrupt and the interrupt handler is slow. * Thread A runs, get budget, dispatches work. * Thread A's work finishes and budget is released. * Thread B finally runs again and gets budget. * Since Thread A already took care of the work and no new work has come in, Thread B will get NULL from dispatch_request(). I believe this is specifically why dispatch_request() is allowed to return NULL in the first place if has_work() must be exact. * Thread B will now be holding the budget and is about to call put_budget(), but hasn't called it yet. * Thread B gets interrupted for a long time (again). Dang interrupts. * Now Thread C (maybe with a different "hctx" but the same queue) comes along and runs blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched(). * Thread C won't do anything because it can't get budget. * Finally Thread B will run again and put the budget without kicking any queues. Even though the example above is with blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() I believe the race is possible any time someone is holding budget but doesn't do work. Unfortunately, the unlikely has become more likely if you happen to be using the BFQ I/O scheduler. BFQ, by design, sometimes returns "true" for has_work() but then NULL for dispatch_request() and stays in this state for a while (currently up to 9 ms). Suddenly you only need one race to hit, not two races in a row. With my current setup this is easy to reproduce in reboot tests and traces have actually shown that we hit a race similar to the one described above. Note that we only need to fix blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() and blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx() and not the other places that put budget. In other cases we know that we have work to do on at least one "hctx" and code already exists to kick that "hctx"'s queue. When that work finally finishes all the queues will be kicked using the normal flow. One last note is that (at least in the SCSI case) budget is shared by all "hctx"s that have the same queue. Thus we need to make sure to kick the whole queue, not just re-run dispatching on a single "hctx".

In blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(), if blk_mq_sched_needs_restart() returns true and the driver returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE then we'll kick the queue. However, there's another case where we might need to kick it. If we were unable to get budget we can be in much the same state as when the driver returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE, so we should treat it the same. It should be noted that even if we add a whole bunch of extra kicking to the queue in other patches this patch is still important. Specifically any kicking that happened before we re-spliced leftover requests into 'hctx->dispatch' wouldn't have found any work, so we really need to make sure we kick ourselves after we've done the splicing.

When remapping a mapping where a portion of a VMA is remapped into another portion of the VMA it can cause the VMA to become split. During the copy_vma operation the VMA can actually be remerged if it's an anonymous VMA whose pages have not yet been faulted. This isn't normally a problem because at the end of the remap the original portion is unmapped causing it to become split again. However, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaves that original portion in place which means that the VMA which was split and then remerged is not actually split at the end of the mremap. This patch fixes a bug where we don't detect that the VMAs got remerged and we end up putting back VM_ACCOUNT on the next mapping which is completely unreleated. When that next mapping is unmapped it results in incorrectly unaccounting for the memory which was never accounted, and eventually we will underflow on the memory comittment. There is also another issue which is similar, we're currently accouting for the number of pages in the new_vma but that's wrong. We need to account for the length of the remap operation as that's all that is being added. If there was a mapping already at that location its comittment would have been adjusted as part of the munmap at the start of the mremap. A really simple repro can be seen in: https://gist.github.com/bgaff/e101ce99da7d9a8c60acc641d07f312c Fixes: e346b381 ("mm/mremap: add MREMAP_DONTUNMAP to mremap()") Reported-by: syzbot <syzkaller@googlegroups.com> Signed-off-by: Brian Geffon <bgeffon@google.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by this change: "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1] This issue was found with the help of Coccinelle.
