Pull RCU changes from Ingo Molnar: "Quoting from Paul, the major features of this series are: 1. Preventing latency spikes of more than 200 microseconds for kernels built with NR_CPUS=4096, which is reportedly becoming the default for some distros. This is a first step, as it does not help with systems that actually -have- 4096 CPUs (work on this case is in progress, but is not yet ready for mainline). This category also includes improving concurrency of rcu_barrier(), placed here due to conflicts. Posted to LKML at: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/22/381 Note that patches 18-22 of that series have been defered to 3.7, as they have not yet proven themselves to be mainline-ready (and yes, these are the ones intended to get rid of RCU's latency spikes for systems that actually have 4096 CPUs). 2. Updates to documentation and rcutorture fixes, the latter category including improvements to rcu_barrier() testing. Posted to LKML at http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1206.1/04094.html. 3.

This reverts commit fbd24153.

Merge emailed kgdb dmesg fixups patches from Anton Vorontsov: "The dmesg command appears to be broken after the printk rework. The old logic in the kdb code makes no sense in terms of current printk/logging storage format, and KDB simply hangs forever upon entering 'dmesg' command. The first patch revives the command by switching to kmsg_dumper iterator. As a side-effect, the code is now much more simpler. A few changes were needed in the printk.c: we needed unlocked variant of the kmsg_dumper iterator, but these can surely wait for 3.6. It's probably too late even for the first patch to go to 3.5, but I'll try to convince otherwise. :-) Here we go: - The current code is broken for sure, and has no hope to work at all. It is a regression - The new code works for me, and probably works for everyone else; - If it compiles (and I urge everyone to compile-test it on your setup), it hardly can make things worse." * Merge emailed patches from Anton Vorontsov: (4 commits) kdb: Switch to nolock variants of kmsg_dump functions printk: Implement some unlocked kmsg_dump functions printk: Remove kdb_syslog_data kdb: Revive dmesg command

Pull pnfs/ore fixes from Boaz Harrosh: "These are catastrophic fixes to the pnfs objects-layout that were just discovered. They are also destined for @stable. I have found these and worked on them at around RC1 time but unfortunately went to the hospital for kidney stones and had a very slow recovery. I refrained from sending them as is, before proper testing, and surly I have found a bug just yesterday. So now they are all well tested, and have my sign-off. Other then fixing the problem at hand, and assuming there are no bugs at the new code, there is low risk to any surrounding code. And in anyway they affect only these paths that are now broken. That is RAID5 in pnfs objects-layout code. It does also affect exofs (which was not broken) but I have tested exofs and it is lower priority then objects-layout because no one is using exofs, but objects-layout has lots of users." * 'for-linus' of git://git.open-osd.org/linux-open-osd: pnfs-obj: Fix __r4w_get_page when offset is beyond i_size pnfs-obj: don't leak objio_state if ore_write/read fails ore: Unlock r4w pages in exact reverse order of locking ore: Remove support of partial IO request (NFS crash) ore: Fix NFS crash by supporting any unaligned RAID IO

We can't guarantee that REQ_DISCARD on dm-mirror zeroes the data even if the underlying disks support zero on discard. So this patch sets ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported. For example, if the mirror is in the process of resynchronizing, it may happen that kcopyd reads a piece of data, then discard is sent on the same area and then kcopyd writes the piece of data to another leg. Consequently, the data is not zeroed. The flag was made available by commit 983c7db3 (dm crypt: always disable discard_zeroes_data).

When process_discard receives a partial discard that doesn't cover a full block, it sends this discard down to that block. Unfortunately, the block can be shared and the discard would corrupt the other snapshots sharing this block. This patch detects block sharing and ends the discard with success when sending it to the shared block. The above change means that if the device supports discard it can't be guaranteed that a discard request zeroes data. Therefore, we set ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported. Thin target discard support with this bug arrived in commit 104655fd (dm thin: support discards).

This patch fixes a crash when a discard request is sent during mirror recovery. Firstly, some background. Generally, the following sequence happens during mirror synchronization: - function do_recovery is called - do_recovery calls dm_rh_recovery_prepare - dm_rh_recovery_prepare uses a semaphore to limit the number simultaneously recovered regions (by default the semaphore value is 1, so only one region at a time is recovered) - dm_rh_recovery_prepare calls __rh_recovery_prepare, __rh_recovery_prepare asks the log driver for the next region to recover. Then, it sets the region state to DM_RH_RECOVERING. If there are no pending I/Os on this region, the region is added to quiesced_regions list. If there are pending I/Os, the region is not added to any list. It is added to the quiesced_regions list later (by dm_rh_dec function) when all I/Os finish. - when the region is on quiesced_regions list, there are no I/Os in flight on this region. The region is popped from the list in dm_rh_recovery_start function. Then, a kcopyd job is started in the recover function. - when the kcopyd job finishes, recovery_complete is called. It calls dm_rh_recovery_end. dm_rh_recovery_end adds the region to recovered_regions or failed_recovered_regions list (depending on whether the copy operation was successful or not). The above mechanism assumes that if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING state, no new I/Os are started on this region. When I/O is started, dm_rh_inc_pending is called, which increases reg->pending count. When I/O is finished, dm_rh_dec is called. It decreases reg->pending count. If the count is zero and the region was in DM_RH_RECOVERING state, dm_rh_dec adds it to the quiesced_regions list. Consequently, if we call dm_rh_inc_pending/dm_rh_dec while the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING state, it could be added to quiesced_regions list multiple times or it could be added to this list when kcopyd is copying data (it is assumed that the region is not on any list while kcopyd does its jobs). This results in memory corruption and crash. There already exist bypasses for REQ_FLUSH requests: REQ_FLUSH requests do not belong to any region, so they are always added to the sync list in do_writes. dm_rh_inc_pending does not increase count for REQ_FLUSH requests. In mirror_end_io, dm_rh_dec is never called for REQ_FLUSH requests. These bypasses avoid the crash possibility described above. These bypasses were improperly implemented for REQ_DISCARD when the mirror target gained discard support in commit 5fc2ffea (dm raid1: support discard). In do_writes, REQ_DISCARD requests is always added to the sync queue and immediately dispatched (even if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING). However, dm_rh_inc and dm_rh_dec is called for REQ_DISCARD resusts. So it violates the rule that no I/Os are started on DM_RH_RECOVERING regions, and causes the list corruption described above. This patch changes it so that REQ_DISCARD requests follow the same path as REQ_FLUSH. This avoids the crash.

It is very common for the end of the file to be unaligned on stripe size. But since we know it's beyond file's end then the XOR should be preformed with all zeros. Old code used to just read zeros out of the OSD devices, which is a great waist. But what scares me more about this situation is that, we now have pages attached to the file's mapping that are beyond i_size. I don't like the kind of bugs this calls for. Fix both birds, by returning a global zero_page, if offset is beyond i_size.

The read-4-write pages are locked in address ascending order. But where unlocked in a way easiest for coding. Fix that, locks should be released in opposite order of locking, .i.e descending address order. I have not hit this dead-lock. It was found by inspecting the dbug print-outs. I suspect there is an higher lock at caller that protects us, but fix it regardless. Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>

Do to OOM situations the ore might fail to allocate all resources needed for IO of the full request.

In RAID_5/6 We used to not permit an IO that it's end byte is not stripe_size aligned and spans more than one stripe. .i.e the caller must check if after submission the actual transferred bytes is shorter, and would need to resubmit a new IO with the remainder. Exofs supports this, and NFS was supposed to support this as well with it's short write mechanism. But late testing has exposed a CRASH when this is used with none-RPC layout-drivers. The change at NFS is deep and risky, in it's place the fix at ORE to lift the limitation is actually clean and simple. So here it is below. The principal here is that in the case of unaligned IO on both ends, beginning and end, we will send two read requests one like old code, before the calculation of the first stripe, and also a new site, before the calculation of the last stripe. If any "boundary" is aligned or the complete IO is within a single stripe. we do a single read like before. The code is clean and simple by splitting the old _read_4_write into 3 even parts: 1._read_4_write_first_stripe 2. _read_4_write_last_stripe 3. _read_4_write_execute And calling 1+3 at the same place as before. 2+3 before last stripe, and in the case of all in a single stripe then 1+2+3 is preformed additively. Why did I not think of it before. Well I had a strike of genius because I have stared at this code for 2 years, and did not find this simple solution, til today. Not that I did not try. This solution is much better for NFS than the previous supposedly solution because the short write was dealt with out-of-band after IO_done, which would cause for a seeky IO pattern where as in here we execute in order. At both solutions we do 2 separate reads, only here we do it within a single IO request. (And actually combine two writes into a single submission) NFS/exofs code need not change since the ORE API communicates the new shorter length on return, what will happen is that this case would not occur anymore. hurray!!

UBIFS has a feature called "empty space fix-up" which is a quirk to work-around limitations of dumb flasher programs. Namely, of those flashers that are unable to skip NAND pages full of 0xFFs while flashing, resulting in empty space at the end of half-filled eraseblocks to be unusable for UBIFS. This feature is relatively new (introduced in v3.0). The fix-up routine (fixup_free_space()) is executed only once at the very first mount if the superblock has the 'space_fixup' flag set (can be done with -F option of mkfs.ubifs). It basically reads all the UBIFS data and metadata and writes it back to the same LEB. The routine assumes the image is pristine and does not have anything in the journal. There was a bug in 'fixup_free_space()' where it fixed up the log incorrectly. All but one LEB of the log of a pristine file-system are empty. And one contains just a commit start node. And 'fixup_free_space()' just unmapped this LEB, which resulted in wiping the commit start node. As a result, some users were unable to mount the file-system next time with the following symptom: UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: first log node at LEB 3:0 is not CS node UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: log error detected while replaying the log at LEB 3:0 The root-cause of this bug was that 'fixup_free_space()' wrongly assumed that the beginning of empty space in the log head (c->lhead_offs) was known on mount. However, it is not the case - it was always 0. UBIFS does not store in it the master node and finds out by scanning the log on every mount. The fix is simple - just pass commit start node size instead of 0 to 'fixup_leb()'.

Pull networking changes from David Miller: "Ok, we should be good to go now" 1) We have to statically initialize the init_net device list head rather than do so in an initcall, otherwise netprio_cgroup crashes if it's built statically rather than modular (Mark D. Rustad) 2) Fix SKB null oopser in CIPSO ipv4 option processing (Paul Moore) 3) Qlogic maintainers update (Anirban Chakraborty) * git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net: net: Statically initialize init_net.dev_base_head MAINTAINERS: Changes in qlcnic and qlge maintainers list cipso: don't follow a NULL pointer when setsockopt() is called

The strcpy was being used to set the name of the board. Since the destination char* was read-only and the name is set statically at compile time; this was both wrong and redundant. The type of char* is changed to const char* to prevent future errors.

Fixups are executed once the pci-device is found which is during boot process so __init seems fine as long as the platform does not support hotplug. However it is possible to remove the PCI bus at run time and have it rediscovered again via "echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan" and this will call the fixups again.
