Sequential scan for more than 256 LUNs is very fragile as LUNs might not be numbered sequentially after that point. SAM revisions later than SCSI-3 impose a structure on LUNs larger than 256, making LUN numbers between 256 and 16384 illegal. SCSI-3, however allows for plain 64-bit numbers with no internal structure. So restrict sequential LUN scan to 256 LUNs and add a new blacklist flag 'BLIST_SCSI3LUN' to scan up to max_lun devices.

This addresses a problem reported by Vaughan Cao concerning the correctness of the O_EXCL logic in the sg driver. POSIX doesn't defined O_EXCL semantics on devices but "allow only one open file descriptor at a time per sg device" is a rough definition. The sg driver's semantics have been to wait on an open() when O_NONBLOCK is not given and there are O_EXCL headwinds. Nasty things can happen during that wait such as the device being detached (removed). So multiple locks are reworked in this patch making it large and hard to break down into digestible bits. This patch is against Linus's current git repository which doesn't include any sg patches sent in the last few weeks. Hence this patch touches as little as possible that it doesn't need to and strips out most SCSI_LOG_TIMEOUT() changes in v3 because Hannes said he was going to rework all that stuff. The sg3_utils package has several test programs written to test this patch. See examples/sg_tst_excl*.cpp . Not all the locks and flags in sg have been re-worked in this patch, notably sg_request::done . That can wait for a follow-up patch if this one meets with approval.

When the SG_IO ioctl was copied into the block layer and later into the bsg driver, subtle differences emerged. One difference is the way injected commands are queued through the block layer (i.e. this is not SCSI device queueing nor SATA NCQ). Summarizing: - SG_IO in the block layer: blk_exec*(at_head=false) - sg SG_IO: at_head=true - bsg SG_IO: at_head=true Some time ago Boaz Harrosh introduced a sg v4 flag called BSG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL to override the bsg driver default. This patch does the equivalent for the sg driver. ChangeLog: Introduce SG_FLAG_Q_AT_TAIL flag to cause commands to be injected into the block layer with at_head=false.

Until now the per-command transfer length has exclusively been gated by the max_sectors parameter in the scsi_host template. Given that the size of this parameter has been bumped to an unsigned int we have to be careful not to exceed the target device's capabilities. If the if the device specifies a Maximum Transfer Length in the Block Limits VPD we'll use that value. Otherwise we'll use 0xffffffff for devices that have use_16_for_rw set and 0xffff for the rest. We then combine the chosen disk limit with max_sectors in the host template. The smaller of the two will be used to set the max_hw_sectors queue limit. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

This change enables to test read/write commands with huge transfer length such as 1GB. For example: # modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=1024 clustering=1 opts=1 # cat /sys/block/$DEV/queue/max_hw_sectors_kb > \ /sys/block/$DEV/queue/max_sectors_kb # fio --name=test --rw=write --bs=1g --size=1g --filename=/dev/$DEV \ --mem=mmaphuge --direct=1 The data type of max_sectors in scsi_host_template has been extended to unsigned int by the previous change. So we can increase it from 0xffff to 0xffffffff to allow such huge transfer length. Also, this increases sg_tablesize and max_segment_size, otherwise the maximum transfer length is limited to 64MB.

max_sectors in struct Scsi_Host specifies maximum number of sectors allowed in a single SCSI command. The data type of max_sectors is unsigned short, so the maximum transfer length per SCSI command is limited to less than 256MB in 4096-bytes sector size. (0xffff * 4096) This commit increases the SCSI mid level's limitation for max_sectors upto the block layer's limitation for max_hw_sectors by extending the data type of max_sectors in struct Scsi_Host and scsi_host_template, so that SCSI lower level drivers can specify more than 0xffff.

scsi_put_command() is either invoked before blk_start_request() or after block layer processing has completed. scsi_cmnd.abort_work is scheduled from inside the SCSI timeout handler. The block layer guarantees that either the regular completion handler (softirq_done_fn()) or the timeout handler (rq_timed_out_fn()) is invoked but not both. This means that scsi_put_command() is never invoked while abort_work is scheduled. Hence remove the cancel_delayed_work() call from scsi_put_command(). Similarly, scsi_abort_command() is only invoked from the SCSI timeout handler. If scsi_abort_command() is invoked for a SCSI command with the SCSI_EH_ABORT_SCHEDULED flag set this means that scmd_eh_abort_handler() has already invoked scsi_queue_insert() and hence that scsi_cmnd.abort_work is no longer pending. Hence also remove the cancel_delayed_work() call from scsi_abort_command().

I was cleaning out my INBOX and found two fixes from zhangwei from a year ago that were lost in my mail. These fix an inconsistency between trace_puts() and the way trace_printk() works. The reason this is important to fix is because when trace_printk() doesn't have any arguments, it turns into a trace_puts(). Not being able to enable a stack trace against trace_printk() because it does not have any arguments is quite confusing. Also, the fix is rather trivial and low risk. While porting some changes to PowerPC I discovered that it still has the function graph tracer filter bug that if you also enable stack tracing the function graph tracer filter is ignored. I fixed that up. Finally, Martin Lau, fixed a bug that would cause readers of the ftrace ring buffer to block forever even though it was suppose to be NONBLOCK" This also includes the fix from an earlier pull request: "Oleg Nesterov fixed a memory leak that happens if a user creates a tracing instance, sets up a filter in an event, and then removes that instance.

ring_buffer_poll_wait() should always put the poll_table to its wait_queue even there is immediate data available. Otherwise, the following epoll and read sequence will eventually hang forever: 1. Put some data to make the trace_pipe ring_buffer read ready first 2. epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD, trace_pipe_fd, ee) 3. epoll_wait() 4. read(trace_pipe_fd) till EAGAIN 5. Add some more data to the trace_pipe ring_buffer 6. epoll_wait() -> this epoll_wait() will block forever ~ During the epoll_ctl(efd, EPOLL_CTL_ADD,...) call in step 2, ring_buffer_poll_wait() returns immediately without adding poll_table, which has poll_table->_qproc pointing to ep_poll_callback(), to its wait_queue. ~ During the epoll_wait() call in step 3 and step 6, ring_buffer_poll_wait() cannot add ep_poll_callback() to its wait_queue because the poll_table->_qproc is NULL and it is how epoll works. ~ When there is new data available in step 6, ring_buffer does not know it has to call ep_poll_callback() because it is not in its wait queue. Hence, block forever. Other poll implementation seems to call poll_wait() unconditionally as the very first thing to do. For example, tcp_poll() in tcp.c.

Running my ftrace tests on PowerPC, it failed the test that checks if function_graph tracer is affected by the stack tracer. It was. Looking into this, I found that the update_function_graph_func() must be called even if the trampoline function is not changed. This is because archs like PowerPC do not support ftrace_ops being passed by assembly and instead uses a helper function (what the trampoline function points to). Since this function is not changed even when multiple ftrace_ops are added to the code, the test that falls out before calling update_function_graph_func() will miss that the update must still be done.

When the initialization of Intel HDMI controller fails due to missing i915 kernel symbols (e.g. HD-audio is built in while i915 is module), the driver discontinues the probe. However, since the probe was done asynchronously, the driver object still remains, thus the relevant PM ops are still called at suspend/resume. This results in the bad access to the incomplete audio card object, eventually leads to Oops or stall at PM. This patch adds the missing checks of chip->init_failed flag at each PM callback in order to fix the problem above.

Commit 568f194e ("net: ppp: use sk_unattached_filter api") causes sk_chk_filter() to be called twice when setting a PPP pass or active filter. This applies to both the generic PPP subsystem implemented by drivers/net/ppp/ppp_generic.c and the ISDN PPP subsystem implemented by drivers/isdn/i4l/isdn_ppp.c. The first call is from within get_filter(). The second one is through the call chain ppp_ioctl() or isdn_ppp_ioctl() --> sk_unattached_filter_create() --> __sk_prepare_filter() --> sk_chk_filter() The first call from within get_filter() should be deleted as get_filter() is called just before calling sk_unattached_filter_create() later on, which eventually calls sk_chk_filter() anyway. For 3.15.x, this proposed change is a bugfix rather than a pure optimization as in that branch, sk_chk_filter() may replace filter codes by other codes which are not recognized when executing sk_chk_filter() a second time. So with 3.15.x, if sk_chk_filter() is called twice, the second invocation may yield EINVAL (this depends on the filter codes found in the filter to be set, but because the replacement is done for frequently used codes, this is almost always the case). The net effect is that setting pass and/or active PPP filters does not work anymore, since sk_unattached_filter_create() always returns EINVAL due to the second call to sk_chk_filter(), regardless whether the filter was originally sane or not.

The PPP channel MTU is used with Multilink PPP when ppp_mp_explode() (see ppp_generic module) tries to determine how big a fragment might be. According to RFC 1661, the MTU excludes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, see the corresponding comment and code in ppp_mp_explode(): /* * hdrlen includes the 2-byte PPP protocol field, but the * MTU counts only the payload excluding the protocol field. * (RFC1661 Section 2) */ mtu = pch->chan->mtu - (hdrlen - 2); However, the pppoe module *does* include the PPP protocol field in the channel MTU, which is wrong as it causes the PPP payload to be 1-2 bytes too big under certain circumstances (one byte if PPP protocol compression is used, two otherwise), causing the generated Ethernet packets to be dropped. So the pppoe module has to subtract two bytes from the channel MTU. This error only manifests itself when using Multilink PPP, as otherwise the channel MTU is not used anywhere. In the following, I will describe how to reproduce this bug. We configure two pppd instances for multilink PPP over two PPPoE links, say eth2 and eth3, with a MTU of 1492 bytes for each link and a MRRU of 2976 bytes. (This MRRU is computed by adding the two link MTUs and subtracting the MP header twice, which is 4 bytes long.) The necessary pppd statements on both sides are "multilink mtu 1492 mru 1492 mrru 2976". On the client side, we additionally need "plugin rp-pppoe.so eth2" and "plugin rp-pppoe.so eth3", respectively; on the server side, we additionally need to start two pppoe-server instances to be able to establish two PPPoE sessions, one over eth2 and one over eth3. We set the MTU of the PPP network interface to the MRRU (2976) on both sides of the connection in order to make use of the higher bandwidth. (If we didn't do that, IP fragmentation would kick in, which we want to avoid.) Now we send a ICMPv4 echo request with a payload of 2948 bytes from client to server over the PPP link. This results in the following network packet: 2948 (echo payload) + 8 (ICMPv4 header) + 20 (IPv4 header) --------------------- 2976 (PPP payload) These 2976 bytes do not exceed the MTU of the PPP network interface, so the IP packet is not fragmented. Now the multilink PPP code in ppp_mp_explode() prepends one protocol byte (0x21 for IPv4), making the packet one byte bigger than the negotiated MRRU. So this packet would have to be divided in three fragments. But this does not happen as each link MTU is assumed to be two bytes larger. So this packet is diveded into two fragments only, one of size 1489 and one of size 1488. Now we have for that bigger fragment: 1489 (PPP payload) + 4 (MP header) + 2 (PPP protocol field for the MP payload (0x3d)) + 6 (PPPoE header) -------------------------- 1501 (Ethernet payload) This packet exceeds the link MTU and is discarded. If one configures the link MTU on the client side to 1501, one can see the discarded Ethernet frames with tcpdump running on the client. A ping -s 2948 -c 1 192.168.15.254 leads to the smaller fragment that is correctly received on the server side: (tcpdump -vvvne -i eth3 pppoes and ppp proto 0x3d) 52:54:00:ad:87:fd > 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 1514: PPPoE [ses 0x3] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000, Flags [end], length 1492 and to the bigger fragment that is not received on the server side: (tcpdump -vvvne -i eth2 pppoes and ppp proto 0x3d) 52:54:00:70:9e:89 > 52:54:00:5d:6f:b0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 1515: PPPoE [ses 0x5] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1495: seq 0x000, Flags [begin], length 1493 With the patch below, we correctly obtain three fragments: 52:54:00:ad:87:fd > 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 1514: PPPoE [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000, Flags [begin], length 1492 52:54:00:70:9e:89 > 52:54:00:5d:6f:b0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 1514: PPPoE [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 1494: seq 0x000, Flags [none], length 1492 52:54:00:ad:87:fd > 52:54:00:79:5c:d0, ethertype PPPoE S (0x8864), length 27: PPPoE [ses 0x1] MLPPP (0x003d), length 7: seq 0x000, Flags [end], length 5 And the ICMPv4 echo request is successfully received at the server side: IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 21925, offset 0, flags [DF], proto ICMP (1), length 2976) 192.168.222.2 > 192.168.15.254: ICMP echo request, id 30530, seq 0, length 2956 The bug was introduced in commit c9aa6895 ("[PPPOE]: Advertise PPPoE MTU") from the very beginning. This patch applies to 3.10 upwards but the fix can be applied (with minor modifications) to kernels as old as 2.6.32. Signed-off-by: Christoph Schulz <develop@kristov.de> Signed-off-by: David S.

The code in neigh_sysctl_register() relies on a specific layout of struct neigh_table, namely that the 'gc_*' variables are directly following the 'parms' member in a specific order. The code, though, expresses this in the most ugly way. Get rid of the ugly casts and use the 'tbl' pointer to get a handle to the table. This way we can refer to the 'gc_*' variables directly. Similarly seen in the grsecurity patch, written by Brad Spengler. Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Cc: Brad Spengler <spender@grsecurity.net> Signed-off-by: David S.
