      virtio_blk: mark virtio_blk with __refdata to kill spurious section mismatch · 4fbfff76
      Rakib Mullick authored 
      The variable virtio_blk references the function virtblk_probe() (which
is in .devinit section) and also references the function
virtblk_remove() ( which is in .devexit section). So, virtio_blk
simultaneously refers .devinit and .devexit section. To avoid this
messup, we mark virtio_blk as __refdata.

We were warned by the following warning:

      block: sysfs fix mismatched queue_var_{store,show} in 64bit kernel · 9cb308ce
      Xiaotian Feng authored 
      In blk-sysfs.c, queue_var_store uses unsigned long to store data,
but queue_var_show uses unsigned int to show data.  This causes,

	# echo 70000000000 > /sys/block/<dev>/queue/read_ahead_kb
	# cat /sys/block/<dev>/queue/read_ahead_kb => get wrong value

Fix it by using unsigned long.

While at it, convert queue_rq_affinity_show() such that it uses bool
variable instead of explicit != 0 testing.

      block: fix failfast merge testing in elv_rq_merge_ok() · 0a09f431
      Tejun Heo authored 
      Commit ab0fd1de tries to prevent merge
of requests with different failfast settings.  In elv_rq_merge_ok(),
it compares new bio's failfast flags against the merge target
request's.  However, the flag testing accessors for bio and blk don't
return boolean but the tested bit value directly and FAILFAST on bio
and blk don't match, so directly comparing them with == results in
false negative unnecessary preventing merge of readahead requests.

This patch convert the results to boolean by negating them before
comparison.

      cfq-iosched: reset oom_cfqq in cfq_set_request() · 32f2e807
      Vivek Goyal authored 
      In case memory is scarce, we now default to oom_cfqq. Once memory is
available again, we should allocate a new cfqq and stop using oom_cfqq for
a particular io context.

Once a new request comes in, check if we are using oom_cfqq, and if yes,
try to allocate a new cfqq.

Tested the patch by forcing the use of oom_cfqq and upon next request thread
realized that it was using oom_cfqq and it allocated a new cfqq.

      block: fix sg SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV regression · ecb554a8
      FUJITA Tomonori authored 
      I overlooked SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV support when I converted sg to use
the block layer mapping API (2.6.28).

Douglas Gilbert explained SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg37135.html

=
The semantics of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV were:
   - copy user space buffer to kernel (LLD) buffer
   - do SCSI command which is assumed to be of the DATA_IN
     (data from device) variety. This would overwrite
     some or all of the kernel buffer
   - copy kernel (LLD) buffer back to the user space.

The idea was to detect short reads by filling the original
user space buffer with some marker bytes ("0xec" it would
seem in this report). The "resid" value is a better way
of detecting short reads but that was only added this century
and requires co-operation from the LLD.
=

This patch changes the block layer mapping API to support this
semantics. This simply adds another field to struct rq_map_data and
enables __bio_copy_iov() to copy data from user space even with READ
requests.

It's better to add the flags field and kills null_mapped and the new
from_user fields in struct rq_map_data but that approach makes it
difficult to send this patch to stable trees because st and osst
drivers use struct rq_map_data (they were converted to use the block
layer in 2.6.29 and 2.6.30). Well, I should clean up the block layer
mapping API.

      cxgb3: Fix crash caused by stashing wrong netdev_queue · e594e96e
      Roland Dreier authored 
      Commit c3a8c5b6 ("cxgb3: move away from LLTX") exposed a bug in how
cxgb3 looks up the netdev_queue it stashes away in a qset during
initialization.  For multiport devices, the TX queue index it uses is
offset by the first_qset index of each port.  This leads to a crash
once LLTX is removed, since hard_start_xmit is called with one TX
queue lock held, while the TX reclaim timer task grabs a different
(wrong) TX queue lock when it frees skbs.

Fix this by removing the first_qset offset used to look up the TX
queue passed into t3_sge_alloc_qset() from setup_sge_qsets().

      Yi Zou authored 
      Fix coexistence of Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and Flow Director (FDIR)
in 82599 and remove the disabling of FDIR when FCoE is enabled.

Currently, FDIR is turned off when FCoE is enabled under the assumption that
FCoE is always enabled with DCB being turned on. However, FDIR does not have
to be turned off all the time when FCoE is enabled since FCoE can be enabled
without DCB being turned on, e.g., use link pause only. This patch makes sure
that when DCB is turned on or off, FDIR is turned on or off correspondingly;
and when FCoE is enabled, it does not disable FDIR, rather, it will have FDIR
set up properly so FCoE and FDIR can coexist regardless of DCB being on or off.

      net: adding memory barrier to the poll and receive callbacks · a57de0b4
      Jiri Olsa authored 
      Adding memory barrier after the poll_wait function, paired with
receive callbacks. Adding fuctions sock_poll_wait and sk_has_sleeper
to wrap the memory barrier.

Without the memory barrier, following race can happen.
The race fires, when following code paths meet, and the tp->rcv_nxt
and __add_wait_queue updates stay in CPU caches.

CPU1                         CPU2

sys_select                   receive packet
  ...                        ...
  __add_wait_queue           update tp->rcv_nxt
  ...                        ...
  tp->rcv_nxt check          sock_def_readable
  ...                        {
  schedule                      ...
                                if (sk->sk_sleep && waitqueue_active(sk->sk_sleep))
                                        wake_up_interruptible(sk->sk_sleep)
                                ...
                             }

If there was no cache the code would work ok, since the wait_queue and
rcv_nxt are opposit to each other.

Meaning that once tp->rcv_nxt is updated by CPU2, the CPU1 either already
passed the tp->rcv_nxt check and sleeps, or will get the new value for
tp->rcv_nxt and will return with new data mask.
In both cases the process (CPU1) is being added to the wait queue, so the
waitqueue_active (CPU2) call cannot miss and will wake up CPU1.

The bad case is when the __add_wait_queue changes done by CPU1 stay in its
cache, and so does the tp->rcv_nxt update on CPU2 side.  The CPU1 will then
endup calling schedule and sleep forever if there are no more data on the
socket.
