      dm mpath: call activate fn for each path in pg_init · e54f77dd
      Chandra Seetharaman authored
      Fixed a problem affecting reinstatement of passive paths.
      
      Before we moved the hardware handler from dm to SCSI, it performed a pg_init
      for a path group and didn't maintain any state about each path in hardware
      handler code.
      
      But in SCSI dh, such state is now maintained, as we want to fail I/O early on a
      path if it is not the active path.
      
      All the hardware handlers have a state now and set to active or some form of
      inactive.  They have prep_fn() which uses this state to fail the I/O without
      it ever being sent to the device.
      
      So in effect when dm-multipath calls scsi_dh_activate(), activate is
      sent to only one path and the "state" of that path is changed appropriately
      to "active" while other paths in the same path group are never changed
      as they never got an "activate".
      
      In order make sure all the paths in a path group gets their state set
      properly when a pg_init happens, we need to call scsi_dh_activate() on
      all paths in a path group.
      
      Doing this at the hardware handler layer is not a good option as we
      want the multipath layer to define the relationship between path and path
      groups and not the hardware handler.
      
      Attached patch sends an "activate" on each path in a path group when a
      path group is switched. It also sends an activate when a path is reinstated.

      dm mpath: change attached scsi_dh · a0cf7ea9
      Hannes Reinecke authored
      When specifying a different hardware handler via multipath
      features we should be able to override the built-in defaults.
      
      The problem here is the hardware table from scsi_dh is compiled
      in and cannot be changed from userland. The multipath.conf OTOH
      is purely user-defined and, what's more, the user might have a valid
      reason for modifying it.
      (EG EMC Clariion can well be run in PNR mode even though ALUA is
      active, or the user might want to try ALUA on any as-of-yet unknown
      devices)
      
      So _not_ allowing multipath to override the device handler setting
      will just add to the confusion and makes error tracking even more
      difficult.

      mm: page_alloc: clear PG_locked before checking flags on free · c277331d
      Johannes Weiner authored
      da456f14 "page allocator: do not disable interrupts in free_page_mlock()" moved
      the PG_mlocked clearing after the flag sanity checking which makes mlocked
      pages always trigger 'bad page'.  Fix this by clearing the bit up front.

      x86, 64-bit: Clean up user address masking · 9063c61f
      Linus Torvalds authored
      The discussion about using "access_ok()" in get_user_pages_fast() (see
      commit 7f818906: "x86: don't use
      'access_ok()' as a range check in get_user_pages_fast()" for details and
      end result), made us notice that x86-64 was really being very sloppy
      about virtual address checking.
      
      So be way more careful and straightforward about masking x86-64 virtual
      addresses:
      
       - All the VIRTUAL_MASK* variants now cover half of the address
         space, it's not like we can use the full mask on a signed
         integer, and the larger mask just invites mistakes when
         applying it to either half of the 48-bit address space.
      
       - /proc/kcore's kc_offset_to_vaddr() becomes a lot more
         obvious when it transforms a file offset into a
         (kernel-half) virtual address.
      
       - Unify/simplify the 32-bit and 64-bit USER_DS definition to
         be based on TASK_SIZE_MAX.
      
      This cleanup and more careful/obvious user virtual address checking also
      uncovered a buglet in the x86-64 implementation of strnlen_user(): it
      would do an "access_ok()" check on the whole potential area, even if the
      string itself was much shorter, and thus return an error even for valid
      strings. Our sloppy checking had hidden this.
      
      So this fixes 'strnlen_user()' to do this properly, the same way we
      already handled user strings in 'strncpy_from_user()'.  Namely by just
      checking the first byte, and then relying on fault handling for the
      rest.  That always works, since we impose a guard page that cannot be
      mapped at the end of the user space address space (and even if we
      didn't, we'd have the address space hole).
