e48453c3 ("block, cgroup: implement policy-specific per-blkcg data") updated per-blkcg policy data to be dynamically allocated. When a policy is registered, its policy data aren't created. Instead, when the policy is activated on a queue, the policy data are allocated if there are blkg's (blkcg_gq's) which are attached to a given blkcg. This is buggy. Consider the following scenario. 1. A blkcg is created. No blkg's attached yet. 2. The policy is registered. No policy data is allocated. 3. The policy is activated on a queue. As the above blkcg doesn't have any blkg's, it won't allocate the matching blkcg_policy_data. 4. An IO is issued from the blkcg and blkg is created and the blkcg still doesn't have the matching policy data allocated. With cfq-iosched, this leads to an oops. It also doesn't free policy data on policy unregistration assuming that freeing of all policy data on blkcg destruction should take care of it; however, this also is incorrect. 1. A blkcg has policy data. 2. The policy gets unregistered but the policy data remains. 3. Another policy gets registered on the same slot. 4. Later, the new policy tries to allocate policy data on the previous blkcg but the slot is already occupied and gets skipped. The policy ends up operating on the policy data of the previous policy. There's no reason to manage blkcg_policy_data lazily. The reason we do lazy allocation of blkg's is that the number of all possible blkg's is the product of cgroups and block devices which can reach a surprising level. blkcg_policy_data is contrained by the number of cgroups and shouldn't be a problem. This patch makes blkcg_policy_data to be allocated for all existing blkcg's on policy registration and freed on unregistration and removes blkcg_policy_data handling from policy [de]activation paths. This makes that blkcg_policy_data are created and removed with the policy they belong to and fixes the above described problems.

An entry in blkcg_policy[] is stable while there are non-bypassing in-flight IOs on a request_queue which has the policy activated. This is why most derefs of blkcg_policy[] don't need explicit locking; however, blkcg_css_alloc() isn't invoked from IO path and thus doesn't have this protection and may race policies being added and removed. Fix it by adding explicit blkcg_pol_mutex protection around blkcg_policy[] iteration in blkcg_css_alloc().

blkcg_pol_mutex primarily protects the blkcg_policy array. It also protects cgroup file type [un]registration during policy addition / removal. This puts blkcg_pol_mutex outside cgroup internal synchronization and in turn makes it impossible to grab from blkcg's cgroup methods as that leads to cyclic dependency. Another problematic dependency arising from this is through cgroup interface file deactivation. Removing a cftype requires removing all files of the type which in turn involves draining all on-going invocations of the file methods. This means that an interface file implementation can't grab blkcg_pol_mutex as draining can lead to AA deadlock. blkcg_reset_stats() is already in this situation. It currently trylocks blkcg_pol_mutex and then unwinds and retries the whole operation on failure, which is cumbersome at best. It has a lengthy comment explaining how cgroup internal synchronization is involved and expected to be updated but as explained above this doesn't need cgroup internal locking to deadlock. It's a self-contained AA deadlock. The described circular dependencies can be easily broken by moving cftype [un]registration out of blkcg_pol_mutex and protect them with an outer mutex. This patch introduces blkcg_pol_register_mutex which wraps entire policy [un]registration including cftype operations and shrinks blkcg_pol_mutex critical section. This also makes the trylock dancing in blkcg_reset_stats() unnecessary. Removed. This patch is necessary for the following blkcg_policy_data allocation bug fixes.

Currently, per-blkcg data is freed each time a policy is deactivated, that is also upon scheduler switch. However, when switching from a scheduler implementing a policy which requires per-blkcg data to another one, that same policy might be active on other devices, and therefore those same per-blkcg data could be still in use. This commit lets per-blkcg data be freed when the blkcg is freed instead of on policy deactivation.

bio_integrity_alloc() and bio_integrity_free() assume that if a bio was allocated from a bioset that that bioset also had its bio_integrity_pool allocated using bioset_integrity_create(). This is a very bad assumption given that bioset_create() and bioset_integrity_create() are completely disjoint. Not all callers of bioset_create() have been trained to also call bioset_integrity_create() -- and they may not care to be. Fix this by falling back to kmalloc'ing 'struct bio_integrity_payload' rather than force all bioset consumers to (wastefully) preallocate a bio_integrity_pool that they very likely won't actually need (given the niche nature of the current block integrity support). Otherwise, a NULL pointer "Kernel BUG" with a trace like the following will be observed (as seen on s390x using zfcp storage) because dm-io doesn't use bioset_integrity_create() when creating its bioset: [ 791.643338] Call Trace: [ 791.643339] ([<00000003df98b848>] 0x3df98b848) [ 791.643341] [<00000000002c5de8>] bio_integrity_alloc+0x48/0xf8 [ 791.643348] [<00000000002c6486>] bio_integrity_prep+0xae/0x2f0 [ 791.643349] [<0000000000371e38>] blk_queue_bio+0x1c8/0x3d8 [ 791.643355] [<000000000036f8d0>] generic_make_request+0xc0/0x100 [ 791.643357] [<000000000036f9b2>] submit_bio+0xa2/0x198 [ 791.643406] [<000003ff801f9774>] dispatch_io+0x15c/0x3b0 [dm_mod] [ 791.643419] [<000003ff801f9b3e>] dm_io+0x176/0x2f0 [dm_mod] [ 791.643423] [<000003ff8074b28a>] do_reads+0x13a/0x1a8 [dm_mirror] [ 791.643425] [<000003ff8074b43a>] do_mirror+0x142/0x298 [dm_mirror] [ 791.643428] [<0000000000154fca>] process_one_work+0x18a/0x3f8 [ 791.643432] [<000000000015598a>] worker_thread+0x132/0x3b0 [ 791.643435] [<000000000015d49a>] kthread+0xd2/0xd8 [ 791.643438] [<00000000005bc0ca>] kernel_thread_starter+0x6/0xc [ 791.643446] [<00000000005bc0c4>] kernel_thread_starter+0x0/0xc Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

Commit 0a196848 ("perf: Fix arch_perf_out_copy_user default"), changes copy_from_user_nmi() to return the number of remaining bytes so that it behave like copy_from_user(). Unfortunately, when the range is outside of the process memory, the return value is still the number of byte copied, eg. 0, instead of the remaining bytes. As all users of copy_from_user_nmi() were modified as part of commit 0a196848, the function should be fixed to return the total number of bytes if range is not correct.

Commit 835a6a2f ("Bluetooth: Stop sabotaging list poisoning") thought that the code was sabotaging the list poisoning when NULL'ing out the list pointers and removed it. But what was going on was that the bluetooth code was using NULL pointers for the list as a way to mark it empty, and that commit just broke it (and replaced the test with NULL with a "list_empty()" test on a uninitialized list instead, breaking things even further). So fix it all up to use the regular and real list_empty() handling (which does not use NULL, but a pointer to itself), also making sure to initialize the list properly (the previous NULL case was initialized implicitly by the session being allocated with kzalloc()) This is a combination of patches by Marcel Holtmann and Tedd Ho-Jeong An.

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "It's been a busy development cycle for target-core in a number of different areas. The fabric API usage for se_node_acl allocation is now within target-core code, dropping the external API callers for all fabric drivers tree-wide. There is a new conversion to RCU hlists for se_node_acl and se_portal_group LUN mappings, that turns fast-past LUN lookup into a completely lockless code-path.
