The BUG_ON() in purge_persistent_gnt() will be triggered when previous purge work haven't finished. There is a work_pending() before this BUG_ON, but it doesn't account if the work is still currently running. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Acked-by:

We should consider info->feature_persistent when adding indirect page to list info->indirect_pages, else the BUG_ON() in blkif_free() would be triggered. When we are using persistent grants the indirect_pages list should always be empty because blkfront has pre-allocated enough persistent pages to fill all requests on the ring.

There is a bug when migrate from !feature-persistent host to feature-persistent host, because domU still thinks new host/backend doesn't support persistent. Dmesg like: backed has not unmapped grant: 839 backed has not unmapped grant: 773 backed has not unmapped grant: 773 backed has not unmapped grant: 773 backed has not unmapped grant: 839 The fix is to recheck feature-persistent of new backend in blkif_recover(). See: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/25/469 As Roger suggested, we can split the part of blkfront_connect that checks for optional features, like persistent grants, indirect descriptors and flush/barrier features to a separate function and call it from both blkfront_connect and blkif_recover Acked-by:

Patch 69b91ede "drivers: xen-blkback: delay pending_req allocation to connect_ring" exposed an problem that Xen blkfront has. There is a race with XenStored and the drivers such that we can see two: vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 2. vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 2. vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 4. state changes to XenbusStateInitWait ('2'). The end result is that blkback_changed() receives two notify and calls twice setup_blkring(). While the backend driver may only get the first setup_blkring() which is wrong and reads out-dated (or reads them as they are being updated with new ring-ref values). The end result is that the ring ends up being incorrectly set. The other drivers in the tree have such checks already in. Reported-and-Tested-by:

Extend xen/block to support multi-page ring, so that more requests can be issued by using more than one pages as the request ring between blkfront and backend. As a result, the performance can get improved significantly. We got some impressive improvements on our highend iscsi storage cluster backend. If using 64 pages as the ring, the IOPS increased about 15 times for the throughput testing and above doubled for the latency testing. The reason was the limit on outstanding requests is 32 if use only one-page ring, but in our case the iscsi lun was spread across about 100 physical drives, 32 was really not enough to keep them busy. Changes in v2: - Rebased to 4.0-rc6. - Document on how multi-page ring feature working to linux io/blkif.h. Changes in v3: - Remove changes to linux io/blkif.h and follow the protocol defined in io/blkif.h of XEN tree. - Rebased to 4.1-rc3 Changes in v4: - Turn to use 'ring-page-order' and 'max-ring-page-order'. - A few comments from Roger. Changes in v5: - Clarify with 4k granularity to comment - Address more comments from Roger Signed-off-by:

The major responsibility of talk_to_blkback() is allocate and initialize the request ring and write the ring info to xenstore. But this work should be done after backend entered 'XenbusStateInitWait' as defined in the protocol file. See xen/include/public/io/blkif.h in XEN git tree: Front Back ================================= ===================================== XenbusStateInitialising XenbusStateInitialising o Query virtual device o Query backend device identification properties. data. o Setup OS device instance. o Open and validate backend device. o Publish backend features and transport parameters. | | V XenbusStateInitWait o Query backend features and transport parameters. o Allocate and initialize the request ring. There is no problem with this yet, but it is an violation of the design and furthermore it would not allow frontend/backend to negotiate 'multi-page' and 'multi-queue' features.

This is a pre-patch for multi-page ring feature. In connect_ring, we can know exactly how many pages are used for the shared ring, delay pending_req allocation here so that we won't waste too much memory. Signed-off-by:

Namespaces may be dynamically allocated and deleted or attached and detached. This has the driver rescan the device for namespace changes after each device reset or namespace change asynchronous event. There could potentially be many detached namespaces that we don't want polluting /dev/ with unusable block handles, so this will delete disks if the namespace is not active as indicated by the response from identify namespace. This also skips adding the disk if no capacity is provisioned to the namespace in the first place. Signed-off-by:

We need the ability to perform an nvme controller reset as discussed on the mailing list thread: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-nvme/2015-March/001585.html This adds a sysfs entry that when written to will reset perform an NVMe controller reset if the controller was successfully initialized in the first place. This also adds locking around resetting the device in the async probe method so the driver can't schedule two resets. Signed-off-by:

When irqmode=2 (IRQ completion handler is timer) and queue_mode=1 (Block interface to use is rq), the completion handler should restart request handling for any pending requests on a queue because request processing stops when the number of commands are queued more than hw_queue_depth (null_rq_prep_fn returns BLKPREP_DEFER). Without this change, the following command cannot finish. # modprobe null_blk irqmode=2 queue_mode=1 hw_queue_depth=1 # fio --name=t --rw=read --size=1g --direct=1 \ --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --filename=/dev/nullb0 Signed-off-by:

When irqmode=2 (IRQ completion handler is timer), timer handler should be called on the same CPU where the timer has been started. Since completion_queues are per-cpu and the completion handler only touches completion_queue for local CPU, we need to prevent the handler from running on a different CPU where the timer has been started. Otherwise, the IO cannot be completed until another completion handler is executed on that CPU. Signed-off-by:

The driver needs to track shared tags to support multiple namespaces that may be dynamically allocated or deleted. Relying on the first request_queue's hctx's is not appropriate as we cannot clear outstanding tags for all namespaces using this handle, nor can the driver easily track all request_queue's hctx as namespaces are attached/detached. Instead, this patch uses the nvme_dev's tagset to get the shared tag resources instead of through a request_queue hctx. Signed-off-by:

Storage controllers may expose multiple block devices that share hardware resources managed by blk-mq. This patch enhances the shared tags so a low-level driver can access the shared resources not tied to the unshared h/w contexts. This way the LLD can dynamically add and delete disks and request queues without having to track all the request_queue hctx's to iterate outstanding tags. Signed-off-by:

Currently dm-multipath has to clone the bios for every request sent to the lower devices, which wastes cpu cycles and ties down memory. This patch instead adds a new REQ_CLONE flag that instructs req_bio_endio to not complete bios attached to a request, which we set on clone requests similar to bios in a flush sequence. With this change I/O errors on a path failure only get propagated to dm-multipath, which can then either resubmit the I/O or complete the bios on the original request. I've done some basic testing of this on a Linux target with ALUA support, and it survives path failures during I/O nicely. Signed-off-by:

Commit c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for non-chains") regressed all existing callers that followed this pattern: 1) saving a bio's original bi_end_io 2) wiring up an intermediate bi_end_io 3) restoring the original bi_end_io from intermediate bi_end_io 4) calling bio_endio() to execute the restored original bi_end_io The regression was due to BIO_CHAIN only ever getting set if bio_inc_remaining() is called. For the above pattern it isn't set until step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN). As such the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with the value 1 instead of 0. When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step 3 it brought it to a value of 2. When the second bio_endio() was called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set upfront). Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining. For the above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called! Remove bio_endio_nodec() and also remove all bio_inc_remaining() calls that aren't associated with the bio_chain() interface. Also, the bio_inc_remaining() interface has been moved local to bio.c.

Use block layer queues with an internal cmd_type to submit internally generated NVMe commands. This both simplifies the code a lot and allow for a better structure. For example now the LighNVM code can construct commands without knowing the details of the underlying I/O descriptors. Or a future NVMe over network target could inject commands, as well as could the SCSI translation and ioctl code be reused for such a beast. Signed-off-by:

Erorr handling for the scsi translation was completely broken, as there were two different positive error number spaces overlapping. Fix this up by removing one of them, and centralizing the generation of the other positive values in a single place. Also fix up a few places that didn't handle the NVMe error codes properly.

loop_clr_fd() can be run piggyback with lo_release(), and under this situation, reread partition may always fail because bd_mutex has been held already. This patch detects the situation by the reference count, and call __blkdev_reread_part() to avoid acquiring the lock again. In the meantime, this patch switches to new kernel APIs of blkdev_reread_part() and __blkdev_reread_part(). Reviewed-by:

The lo_ctl_mutex is held for running all ioctl handlers, and in some ioctl handlers, ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART) is called for rereading partitions, which requires bd_mutex. So it is easy to cause failure because trylock(bd_mutex) may fail inside blkdev_reread_part(), and follows the lock context: blkid or other application: ->open() ->mutex_lock(bd_mutex) ->lo_open() ->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex) losetup(set fd ioctl): ->mutex_lock(lo_ctl_mutex) ->ioctl_by_bdev(BLKRRPART) ->trylock(bd_mutex) This patch trys to eliminate the ABBA lock dependency by removing lo_ctl_mutext in lo_open() with the following approach: 1) make lo_refcnt as atomic_t and avoid acquiring lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open(): - for open vs. add/del loop, no any problem because of loop_index_mutex - freeze request queue during clr_fd, so I/O can't come until clearing fd is completed, like the effect of holding lo_ctl_mutex in lo_open - both open() and release() have been serialized by bd_mutex already 2) don't hold lo_ctl_mutex for decreasing/checking lo_refcnt in lo_release(), then lo_ctl_mutex is only required for the last release.
