Loop devices today have a fixed pre-allocated number of usually 8. The number can only be changed at module init time. To find a free device to use, /dev/loop%i needs to be scanned, and all devices need to be opened until a free one is possibly found. This adds a new /dev/loop-control device node, that allows to dynamically find or allocate a free device, and to add and remove loop devices from the running system: LOOP_CTL_ADD adds a specific device. Arg is the number of the device. It returns the device i or a negative error code. LOOP_CTL_REMOVE removes a specific device, Arg is the number the device. It returns the device i or a negative error code. LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE finds the next unbound device or allocates a new one. No arg is given. It returns the device i or a negative error code. The loop kernel module gets automatically loaded when /dev/loop-control is accessed the first time. The alias specified in the module, instructs udev to create this 'dead' device node, even when the module is not loaded. Example: cfd = open("/dev/loop-control", O_RDWR); # add a new specific loop device err = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_ADD, devnr); # remove a specific loop device err = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_REMOVE, devnr); # find or allocate a free loop device to use devnr = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE); sprintf(loopname, "/dev/loop%i", devnr); ffd = open("backing-file", O_RDWR); lfd = open(loopname, O_RDWR); err = ioctl(lfd, LOOP_SET_FD, ffd); Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com> Signed-off-by:Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by:

This moves the FC classes bsg code to the block layer and makes it a lib so that other classes like iscsi and SAS can use it. It is helpful because working with the request queue, bios, creating scatterlists, etc are a pain that the LLD does not have to worry about with normal IOs and should not have to worry about for bsg requests.

Note: When upper layer's read/write request cannot be fulfilled, the block layout driver shouldn't silently mark the page as error. It should do what can be done and leave the rest to the upper layer. To do so, we should set rdata/wdata->res.count properly. When upper layer re-send the read/write request to finish the rest part of the request, pgbase is the position where we should start at.

In blocklayout driver. There are two things happening while layoutcommit/cleanup. 1. the modified extents are encoded. 2. On cleanup the extents are put back on the layout rw extents list, for reads. In the new system where actual xdr encoding is done in encode_layoutcommit() directly into xdr buffer, these are the new commit stages: 1. On setup_layoutcommit, the range is adjusted as before and a structure is allocated for communication with bl_encode_layoutcommit && bl_cleanup_layoutcommit (Generic layer provides a void-star to hang it on) 2. bl_encode_layoutcommit is called to do the actual encoding directly into xdr. The commit-extent-list is not freed and is stored on above structure. FIXME: The code is not yet converted to the new XDR cleanup 3. On cleanup the commit-extent-list is put back by a call to set_to_rw() as before, but with no need for XDR decoding of the list as before. And the commit-extent-list is freed. Finally allocated structure is freed. [rm inode and pnfs_layout_hdr args from cleanup_layoutcommit()] Signed-off-by:

This fixes a soft lockup on conditions a) the flusher is working on a work by __bdi_start_writeback(), while b) someone else calls writeback_inodes_sb*() or sync_inodes_sb(), which grab sb->s_umount and enqueue a new work for the flusher to execute The s_umount grabbed by (b) will fail the grab_super_passive() in (a). Then if the inode is requeued, wb_writeback() will busy retry on it. As a result, wb_writeback() loops for ever without releasing wb->list_lock, which further blocks other tasks. Fix the busy loop by redirtying the inode. This may undesirably delay the writeback of the inode, however most likely it will be picked up soon by the queued work by writeback_inodes_sb*(), sync_inodes_sb() or even writeback_inodes_wb(). bug url: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-fsdevel/msg47292.htmlReported-by:

shm_lock() does a lookup of shm segment in shm_ids(ns).ipcs_idr, which is redundant as we already know shmid_kernel address. An actual lock is also not required for reads until we really want to destroy the segment. exit_shm() and shm_destroy_orphaned() may avoid the loop by checking whether there is at least one segment in current ipc_namespace. The check of nsproxy and ipc_ns against NULL is redundant as exit_shm() is called from do_exit() before the call to exit_notify(), so the dereferencing current->nsproxy->ipc_ns is guaranteed to be safe.
