      tracing: update file->f_pos when splice(2) it · c7625a55
      Lai Jiangshan authored 
      Impact: Cleanup

These two lines:

	if (unlikely(*ppos))
		return -ESPIPE;

in tracing_buffers_splice_read() are not needed, VFS layer
has disabled seek(2).

We remove these two lines, and then we can update file->f_pos.

And tracing_buffers_read() updates file->f_pos, this fix
make tracing_buffers_splice_read() updates file->f_pos too.

      tracing: allocate page when needed · ddd538f3
      Lai Jiangshan authored 
      Impact: Cleanup

Sometimes, we open trace_pipe_raw, but we don't read(2) it,
we just splice(2) it, thus, the page is not used.

      tracing: disable seeking for trace_pipe_raw · d1e7e02f
      Lai Jiangshan authored 
      Impact: disable pread()

We set tracing_buffers_fops.llseek to no_llseek,
but we can still perform pread() to read this file.

That is not expected.

This fix uses nonseekable_open() to disable it.

tracing_buffers_fops.llseek is still set to no_llseek,
it mark this file is a "non-seekable device" and is used by
sys_splice(). See also do_splice() or manual of splice(2):

ERRORS
       EINVAL Target file system doesn't support  splicing;
              neither  of the descriptors refers to a pipe;
              or offset given for non-seekable device.

      dm kcopyd: fix callback race · 340cd444
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      If the thread calling dm_kcopyd_copy is delayed due to scheduling inside
split_job/segment_complete and the subjobs complete before the loop in
split_job completes, the kcopyd callback could be invoked from the
thread that called dm_kcopyd_copy instead of the kcopyd workqueue.

dm_kcopyd_copy -> split_job -> segment_complete -> job->fn()

Snapshots depend on the fact that callbacks are called from the singlethreaded
kcopyd workqueue and expect that there is no racing between individual
callbacks. The racing between callbacks can lead to corruption of exception
store and it can also mean that exception store callbacks are called twice
for the same exception - a likely reason for crashes reported inside
pending_complete() / remove_exception().

This patch fixes two problems:

1. job->fn being called from the thread that submitted the job (see above).

- Fix: hand over the completion callback to the kcopyd thread.

2. job->fn(read_err, write_err, job->context); in segment_complete
reports the error of the last subjob, not the union of all errors.

- Fix: pass job->write_err to the callback to report all error bits
  (it is done already in run_complete_job)

      Use a variable in segment_complete() to point to the dm_kcopyd_client
struct and only release job->pages in run_complete_job() if any are
defined.  These changes are needed by the next patch.

      dm: implement basic barrier support · af7e466a
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      Barriers are submitted to a worker thread that issues them in-order.

The thread is modified so that when it sees a barrier request it waits
for all pending IO before the request then submits the barrier and
waits for it.  (We must wait, otherwise it could be intermixed with
following requests.)

Errors from the barrier request are recorded in a per-device barrier_error
variable. There may be only one barrier request in progress at once.

For now, the barrier request is converted to a non-barrier request when
sending it to the underlying device.

This patch guarantees correct barrier behavior if the underlying device
doesn't perform write-back caching. The same requirement existed before
barriers were supported in dm.

Bottom layer barrier support (sending barriers by target drivers) and
handling devices with write-back caches will be done in further patches.

      dm: remove dm_request loop · 92c63902
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      Remove queue_io return value and a loop in dm_request.

IO may be submitted to a worker thread with queue_io().  queue_io() sets
DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD so that all further IO is queued for the thread. When
the thread finishes its work, it clears DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD and from this
point on, requests are submitted from dm_request again. This will be used
for processing barriers.

Remove the loop in dm_request. queue_io() can submit I/Os to the worker thread
even if DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD was not set.

      Split the DMF_BLOCK_IO flag into two.

DMF_BLOCK_IO_FOR_SUSPEND is set when I/O must be blocked while suspending a
device.  DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD is set when I/O must be queued to a
worker thread for later processing.

      This patch provides support for data integrity passthrough in the device
mapper.

 - If one or more component devices support integrity an integrity
   profile is preallocated for the DM device.

 - If all component devices have compatible profiles the DM device is
   flagged as capable.

 - Handle integrity metadata when splitting and cloning bios.

      cap_prctl: don't set error to 0 at 'no_change' · 5bf37ec3
      Serge E. Hallyn authored 
      One-liner: capsh --print is broken without this patch.

In certain cases, cap_prctl returns error > 0 for success.  However,
the 'no_change' label was always setting error to 0.  As a result,
for example, 'prctl(CAP_BSET_READ, N)' would always return 0.
It should return 1 if a process has N in its bounding set (as
by default it does).

I'm keeping the no_change label even though it's now functionally
the same as 'error'.

      igb: remove sysfs entry that was used to set the number of vfs · 2a3abf6d
      Alexander Duyck authored 
      This patch removes the sysfs entry num_vfs which was added to support
enabling pci virtual functions for 82576.

To prevent VFs from loading automatically a module parameter "max_vfs" was
added so that the number of VFs per PF can be limited.  This is especially
useful when 4 or more 82576 ports are on the system because otherwise to
load all VFs would result in 8 interface per physical port.
