      block: fold bdev_unhash_inode into invalidate_partition · 9bc5c397
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      invalidate_partition and bdev_unhash_inode are always paired, and
      invalidate_partition already does an icache lookup for the block device
      inode.  Piggy back on that to remove the inode from the hash.

      block: simplify block device syncing in bdev_del_partition · d5f3178e
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      We just checked a little above that the block device for the partition
      im busy.  That implies no file system is mounted, and thus the only
      thing in fsync_bdev that actually is used is sync_blockdev.  Just call
      sync_blockdev directly.

      Use the blk_drop_partitions function instead of messing around with
      ioctls that get kernel pointers.  For this blk_drop_partitions needs
      to be exported, which it normally shouldn't - make an exception for

      Revert "scsi: core: run queue if SCSI device queue isn't ready and queue is idle" · b4fd63f4
      Douglas Anderson authored
      This reverts commit 7e70aa78.
      
      Now that we have the patches ("blk-mq: In blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list()
      "no budget" is a reason to kick") and ("blk-mq: Rerun dispatching in
      the case of budget contention") we should no longer need the fix in
      the SCSI code.  Revert it, resolving conflicts with other patches that
      have touched this code.
      
      With this revert (and the two new patches) I can run the script that
      was in commit 7e70aa78 ("scsi: core: run queue if SCSI device
      queue isn't ready and queue is idle") in a loop with no failure.  If I
      do this revert without the two new patches I can easily get a failure.

      blk-mq: Rerun dispatching in the case of budget contention · a0823421
      Douglas Anderson authored
      If ever a thread running blk-mq code tries to get budget and fails it
      immediately stops doing work and assumes that whenever budget is freed
      up that queues will be kicked and whatever work the thread was trying
      to do will be tried again.
      
      One path where budget is freed and queues are kicked in the normal
      case can be seen in scsi_finish_command().  Specifically:
      - scsi_finish_command()
        - scsi_device_unbusy()
          - # Decrement "device_busy", AKA release budget
        - scsi_io_completion()
          - scsi_end_request()
            - blk_mq_run_hw_queues()
      
      The above is all well and good.  The problem comes up when a thread
      claims the budget but then releases it without actually dispatching
      any work.  Since we didn't schedule any work we'll never run the path
      of finishing work / kicking the queues.
      
      This isn't often actually a problem which is why this issue has
      existed for a while and nobody noticed.  Specifically we only get into
      this situation when we unexpectedly found that we weren't going to do
      any work.  Code that later receives new work kicks the queues.  All
      good, right?
      
      The problem shows up, however, if timing is just wrong and we hit a
      race.  To see this race let's think about the case where we only have
      a budget of 1 (only one thread can hold budget).  Now imagine that a
      thread got budget and then decided not to dispatch work.  It's about
      to call put_budget() but then the thread gets context switched out for
      a long, long time.  While in this state, any and all kicks of the
      queue (like the when we received new work) will be no-ops because
      nobody can get budget.  Finally the thread holding budget gets to run
      again and returns.  All the normal kicks will have been no-ops and we
      have an I/O stall.
      
      As you can see from the above, you need just the right timing to see
      the race.  To start with, the only case it happens if we thought we
      had work, actually managed to get the budget, but then actually didn't
      have work.  That's pretty rare to start with.  Even then, there's
      usually a very small amount of time between realizing that there's no
      work and putting the budget.  During this small amount of time new
      work has to come in and the queue kick has to make it all the way to
      trying to get the budget and fail.  It's pretty unlikely.
      
      One case where this could have failed is illustrated by an example of
      threads running blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched():
      
      * Threads A and B both run has_work() at the same time with the same
        "hctx".  Imagine has_work() is exact.  There's no lock, so it's OK
        if Thread A and B both get back true.
      * Thread B gets interrupted for a long time right after it decides
        that there is work.  Maybe its CPU gets an interrupt and the
        interrupt handler is slow.
      * Thread A runs, get budget, dispatches work.
      * Thread A's work finishes and budget is released.
      * Thread B finally runs again and gets budget.
      * Since Thread A already took care of the work and no new work has
        come in, Thread B will get NULL from dispatch_request().  I believe
        this is specifically why dispatch_request() is allowed to return
        NULL in the first place if has_work() must be exact.
      * Thread B will now be holding the budget and is about to call
        put_budget(), but hasn't called it yet.
      * Thread B gets interrupted for a long time (again).  Dang interrupts.
      * Now Thread C (maybe with a different "hctx" but the same queue)
        comes along and runs blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched().
      * Thread C won't do anything because it can't get budget.
      * Finally Thread B will run again and put the budget without kicking
        any queues.
      
      Even though the example above is with blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() I
      believe the race is possible any time someone is holding budget but
      doesn't do work.
      
      Unfortunately, the unlikely has become more likely if you happen to be
      using the BFQ I/O scheduler.  BFQ, by design, sometimes returns "true"
      for has_work() but then NULL for dispatch_request() and stays in this
      state for a while (currently up to 9 ms).  Suddenly you only need one
      race to hit, not two races in a row.  With my current setup this is
      easy to reproduce in reboot tests and traces have actually shown that
      we hit a race similar to the one described above.
      
      Note that we only need to fix blk_mq_do_dispatch_sched() and
      blk_mq_do_dispatch_ctx() and not the other places that put budget.  In
      other cases we know that we have work to do on at least one "hctx" and
      code already exists to kick that "hctx"'s queue.  When that work
      finally finishes all the queues will be kicked using the normal flow.
      
      One last note is that (at least in the SCSI case) budget is shared by
      all "hctx"s that have the same queue.  Thus we need to make sure to
      kick the whole queue, not just re-run dispatching on a single "hctx".

      blk-mq: In blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list() "no budget" is a reason to kick · ab3cee37
      Douglas Anderson authored
      In blk_mq_dispatch_rq_list(), if blk_mq_sched_needs_restart() returns
      true and the driver returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE then we'll kick the
      queue.  However, there's another case where we might need to kick it.
      If we were unable to get budget we can be in much the same state as
      when the driver returns BLK_STS_RESOURCE, so we should treat it the
      same.
      
      It should be noted that even if we add a whole bunch of extra kicking
      to the queue in other patches this patch is still important.
      Specifically any kicking that happened before we re-spliced leftover
      requests into 'hctx->dispatch' wouldn't have found any work, so we
      really need to make sure we kick ourselves after we've done the
      splicing.

      mm: Fix MREMAP_DONTUNMAP accounting on VMA merge · dadbd85f
      Brian Geffon authored
      When remapping a mapping where a portion of a VMA is remapped
      into another portion of the VMA it can cause the VMA to become
      split. During the copy_vma operation the VMA can actually
      be remerged if it's an anonymous VMA whose pages have not yet
      been faulted. This isn't normally a problem because at the end
      of the remap the original portion is unmapped causing it to
      become split again.
      
      However, MREMAP_DONTUNMAP leaves that original portion in place which
      means that the VMA which was split and then remerged is not actually
      split at the end of the mremap. This patch fixes a bug where
      we don't detect that the VMAs got remerged and we end up
      putting back VM_ACCOUNT on the next mapping which is completely
      unreleated. When that next mapping is unmapped it results in
      incorrectly unaccounting for the memory which was never accounted,
      and eventually we will underflow on the memory comittment.
      
      There is also another issue which is similar, we're currently
      accouting for the number of pages in the new_vma but that's wrong.
      We need to account for the length of the remap operation as that's
      all that is being added. If there was a mapping already at that
      location its comittment would have been adjusted as part of
      the munmap at the start of the mremap.

      Pull flexible-array member conversion from Gustavo Silva:
       "The current codebase makes use of the zero-length array language
        extension to the C90 standard, but the preferred mechanism to declare
        variable-length types such as these ones is a flexible array
        member[1][2], introduced in C99:
      
          struct foo {
              int stuff;
              struct boo array[];
          };
      
        By making use of the mechanism above, we will get a compiler warning
        in case the flexible array does not occur last in the structure, which
        will help us prevent some kind of undefined behavior bugs from being
        inadvertently introduced[3] to the codebase from now on.
      
        Also, notice that, dynamic memory allocations won't be affected by
        this change:
      
         "Flexible array members have incomplete type, and so the sizeof
          operator may not be applied. As a quirk of the original
          implementation of zero-length arrays, sizeof evaluates to zero."[1]
      
        sizeof(flexible-array-member) triggers a warning because flexible
        array members have incomplete type[1]. There are some instances of
        code in which the sizeof operator is being incorrectly/erroneously
        applied to zero-length arrays and the result is zero. Such instances
        may be hiding some bugs. So, this work (flexible-array member
        convertions) will also help to get completely rid of those sorts of
        issues.
      
        Notice that all of these patches have been baking in linux-next for
        quite a while now and, 238 more of these patches have already been
        merged into 5.7-rc1.
      
        There are a couple hundred more of these issues waiting to be
        addressed in the whole codebase"
