      block: clarify blk_add_timer() use case for blk-mq · 3b627a3f
      Jens Axboe authored
      Just a comment update on not needing queue_lock, and that we aren't
      really adding the request to a timeout list for !mq.

      NVMe: default to 4k device page size · c5c9f25b
      Nishanth Aravamudan authored
      We received a bug report recently when DDW (64-bit direct DMA on Power)
      is not enabled for NVMe devices. In that case, we fall back to 32-bit
      DMA via the IOMMU, which is always done via 4K TCEs (Translation Control
      Entries).
      
      The NVMe device driver, though, assumes that the DMA alignment for the
      PRP entries will match the device's page size, and that the DMA aligment
      matches the kernel's page aligment. On Power, the the IOMMU page size,
      as mentioned above, can be 4K, while the device can have a page size of
      8K, while the kernel has a page size of 64K. This eventually trips the
      BUG_ON in nvme_setup_prps(), as we have a 'dma_len' that is a multiple
      of 4K but not 8K (e.g., 0xF000).
      
      In this particular case of page sizes, we clearly want to use the
      IOMMU's page size in the driver. And generally, the NVMe driver in this
      function should be using the IOMMU's page size for the default device
      page size, rather than the kernel's page size. There is not currently an
      API to obtain the IOMMU's page size across all architectures and in the
      interest of a stop-gap fix to this functional issue, default the NVMe
      device page size to 4K, with the intent of adding such an API and
      implementation across all architectures in the next merge window.
      
      With the functionally equivalent v3 of this patch, our hardware test
      exerciser survives when using 32-bit DMA; without the patch, the kernel
      will BUG within a few minutes.

      pidns: fix NULL dereference in __task_pid_nr_ns() · 81b1a832
      Eric Dumazet authored
      I got a crash during a "perf top" session that was caused by a race in
      __task_pid_nr_ns() :
      
      pid_nr_ns() was inlined, but apparently compiler chose to read
      task->pids[type].pid twice, and the pid->level dereference crashed
      because we got a NULL pointer at the second read :
      
          if (pid && ns->level <= pid->level) { // CRASH
      
      Just use RCU API properly to solve this race, and not worry about "perf
      top" crashing hosts :(
      
      get_task_pid() can benefit from same fix.

       "A round of fixes/updates for the current series.
      
        This looks a little bigger than it is, but that's mainly because we
        pushed the lightnvm enabled null_blk change out of the merge window so
        it could be updated a bit.  The rest of the volume is also mostly
        lightnvm.  In particular:
      
         - Lightnvm.  Various fixes, additions, updates from Matias and
           Javier, as well as from Wenwei Tao.
      
         - NVMe:
              - Fix for potential arithmetic overflow from Keith.
              - Also from Keith, ensure that we reap pending completions from
                a completion queue before deleting it.  Fixes kernel crashes
                when resetting a device with IO pending.
              - Various little lightnvm related tweaks from Matias.
      
         - Fixup flushes to go through the IO scheduler, for the cases where a
           flush is not required.  Fixes a case in CFQ where we would be
           idling and not see this request, hence not break the idling.  From
           Jan Kara.
      
         - Use list_{first,prev,next} in elevator.c for cleaner code.  From
           Gelian Tang.
      
         - Fix for a warning trigger on btrfs and raid on single queue blk-mq
           devices, where we would flush plug callbacks with preemption
           disabled.  From me.
      
         - A mac partition validation fix from Kees Cook.
      
         - Two merge fixes from Ming, marked stable.  A third part is adding a
           new warning so we'll notice this quicker in the future, if we screw
           up the accounting.
      
         - Cleanup of thread name/creation in mtip32xx from Rasmus Villemoes"

      blk-merge: fix blk_bio_segment_split · 02e70742
      Ming Lei authored
      Commit bdced438(block: setup bi_phys_segments after
      splitting) introduces function of computing bio->bi_phys_segments
      during bio splitting.
      
      Unfortunately both bio->bi_seg_front_size and bio->bi_seg_back_size
      arn't computed, so too many physical segments may be obtained
      for one request since both the two are used to check if one segment
      across two bios can be possible.
      
      This patch fixes the issue by computing the two variables in
      blk_bio_segment_split().

      dm thin: fix regression in advertised discard limits · 0fcb04d5
      Mike Snitzer authored
      When establishing a thin device's discard limits we cannot rely on the
      underlying thin-pool device's discard capabilities (which are inherited
      from the thin-pool's underlying data device) given that DM thin devices
      must provide discard support even when the thin-pool's underlying data
      device doesn't support discards.
      
      Users were exposed to this thin device discard limits regression if
      their thin-pool's underlying data device does _not_ support discards.
      This regression caused all upper-layers that called the
      blkdev_issue_discard() interface to not be able to issue discards to
      thin devices (because discard_granularity was 0).  This regression
      wasn't caught earlier because the device-mapper-test-suite's extensive
      'thin-provisioning' discard tests are only ever performed against
      thin-pool's with data devices that support discards.
      
      Fix is to have thin_io_hints() test the pool's 'discard_enabled' feature
      rather than inferring whether or not a thin device's discard support
      should be enabled by looking at the thin-pool's discard_granularity.
      
      Fixes: 21607670 ("dm thin: disable discard support for thin devices if pool's is disabled")

       "This missed the merge window because I was waiting for some repairs to
        come in.  Nothing actually uses the bulk allocator yet and the changes

       "The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() call, in mm/slub.c, were included in
        previous kernel.  The present version contains a bug.  Vladimir
        Davydov noticed it contained a bug, when kernel is compiled with

        bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk").  Plus the mem cgroup counterpart in
        kmem_cache_free_bulk() were missing (see commit 03374518 "slub:
        add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk").
      
        I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree
        users of the API.
      
        But with known bugs (for memcg) I cannot start using the API in the
