This patch enables the sysfs to control I/O request merge
functionality in the plug list. While this control has been
implemented for the request queue, it was dismissed in the plug list.
Therefore, block layer merges requests together (or attempt to merge)
even if the merge capability was disable using sysfs nomerge parameter
value 2.
This limitation is directly affects functionality of io_submit()
system call. The system call enables user to submit a bunch of IO
requests from user space using struct iocb **ios input argument.
However, the unconditioned merging functionality in the plug list
potentially merges these requests together down the road. Therefore,
there is no way to distinguish between an application sending bunch of
sequential IOs and an application sending one big IO. Ultimately, all
requests generated by the former app merge within the plug list
together and looks similar to the second app.
While the merging functionality is a desirable feature to improve the
performance of IO subsystem for some applications, it is not useful
for other application like ours at all.

This is caused by a race between md device initialization by multipathd and
shell script to switch the scheduler using sysfs.
- multipathd:
SyS_ioctl -> do_vfs_ioctl -> dm_ctl_ioctl -> ctl_ioctl -> table_load
-> dm_setup_md_queue -> blk_init_allocated_queue -> elevator_init
q->elevator = elevator_alloc(q, e); // not yet initialized
- sh -c 'echo deadline > /sys/$DEVPATH/queue/scheduler':
elevator_switch (in the call trace above)
struct elevator_queue *old = q->elevator;
q->elevator = elevator_alloc(q, new_e);
elevator_exit(old); // lockup! (*)
- multipathd: (cont.)
err = e->ops.elevator_init_fn(q); // init fails; q->elevator is modified
(*) When del_timer_sync() is called, lock_timer_base() will loop infinitely
while timer->base == NULL. In this case, as timer will never initialized,
it results in lockup.
This patch introduces acquisition of q->sysfs_lock around elevator_init()
into blk_init_allocated_queue(), to provide mutual exclusion between
initialization of the q->scheduler and switching of the scheduler.

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.
Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.
__get_cpu_var() is defined as :
#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))
__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.
this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.
This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.
At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.
The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.
Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()
1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);
2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);
3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
int x = __get_cpu_var(y)
Converts to
int x = __this_cpu_read(y);
4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct
DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);
Converts to
memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));
5. Assignment to a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
__get_cpu_var(y) = x;
Converts to
this_cpu_write(y, x);
6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable
DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);

RSP <ffff881057eefd60>
The RIP is this line:
BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(rq));
After digging through the code, I think there may be a race between the
request completion and the timer handler running.
A timer is started for each request put on the device's queue (see
blk_start_request->blk_add_timer). If the request does not complete
before the timer expires, the timer handler (blk_rq_timed_out_timer)
will mark the request complete atomically:
static inline int blk_mark_rq_complete(struct request *rq)
{
return test_and_set_bit(REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE, &rq->atomic_flags);
}
and then call blk_rq_timed_out. The latter function will call
scsi_times_out, which will return one of BLK_EH_HANDLED,
BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER or BLK_EH_NOT_HANDLED. If BLK_EH_RESET_TIMER is
returned, blk_clear_rq_complete is called, and blk_add_timer is again
called to simply wait longer for the request to complete.
Now, if the request happens to complete while this is going on, what
happens? Given that we know the completion handler will bail if it
finds the REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE bit set, we need to focus on the completion
handler running after that bit is cleared. So, from the above
paragraph, after the call to blk_clear_rq_complete. If the completion
sets REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE before the BUG_ON in blk_add_timer, we go boom
there (I haven't seen this in the cores). Next, if we get the
completion before the call to list_add_tail, then the timer will
eventually fire for an old req, which may either be freed or reallocated
(there is evidence that this might be the case). Finally, if the
completion comes in *after* the addition to the timeout list, I think
it's harmless. The request will be removed from the timeout list,
req_atom_complete will be set, and all will be well.
This will only actually explain the coredumps *IF* the request
structure was freed, reallocated *and* queued before the error handler
thread had a chance to process it. That is possible, but it may make
sense to keep digging for another race. I think that if this is what
was happening, we would see other instances of this problem showing up
as null pointer or garbage pointer dereferences, for example when the
request structure was not re-used. It looks like we actually do run
into that situation in other reports.
This patch moves the BUG_ON(test_bit(REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE,
&req->atomic_flags)); from blk_add_timer to the only caller that could
trip over it (blk_start_request). It then inverts the calls to
blk_clear_rq_complete and blk_add_timer in blk_rq_timed_out to address
the race. I've boot tested this patch, but nothing more.

we started treating bad sizes in lba field of the partition that has the

However, we may run into these "bad sizes" in the real world if someone
uses dd to copy an image from a smaller disk to a bigger disk. Since
this case used to work (even without using force_gpt), keep it working
and treat the size mismatch as a warning instead of an error.

Matt found that commit 27a7c64217 ("partitions/efi: account for pmbr
size in lba") caused his GPT formatted eMMC device not to boot. The
reason is that this commit enforced Linux to always check the lesser of
the whole disk or 2Tib for the pMBR size in LBA. While most disk
partitioning tools out there create a pMBR with these characteristics,
Microsoft does not, as it always sets the entry to the maximum 32-bit
limitation - even though a drive may be smaller than that[1].
Loosen this check and only verify that the size is either the whole disk
or 0xFFFFFFFF. No tool in its right mind would set it to any value
other than these.

With users of radix_tree_preload() run from interrupt (block/blk-ioc.c is
one such possible user), the following race can happen:
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
radix_tree_node_alloc()
if (rtp->nr) {
ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
<interrupt>
...
radix_tree_preload()
...
radix_tree_insert()
radix_tree_node_alloc()
if (rtp->nr) {
ret = rtp->nodes[rtp->nr - 1];
And we give out one radix tree node twice. That clearly results in radix
tree corruption with different results (usually OOPS) depending on which
two users of radix tree race.
We fix the problem by making radix_tree_node_alloc() always allocate fresh
radix tree nodes when in interrupt. Using preloading when in interrupt
doesn't make sense since all the allocations have to be atomic anyway and
we cannot steal nodes from process-context users because some users rely
on radix_tree_insert() succeeding after radix_tree_preload().
in_interrupt() check is somewhat ugly but we cannot simply key off passed
gfp_mask as that is acquired from root_gfp_mask() and thus the same for
all preload users.
Another part of the fix is to avoid node preallocation in
radix_tree_preload() when passed gfp_mask doesn't allow waiting. Again,
preallocation in such case doesn't make sense and when preallocation would
happen in interrupt we could possibly leak some allocated nodes. However,
some users of radix_tree_preload() require following radix_tree_insert()
to succeed. To avoid unexpected effects for these users,
radix_tree_preload() only warns if passed gfp mask doesn't allow waiting
and we provide a new function radix_tree_maybe_preload() for those users
which get different gfp mask from different call sites and which are
prepared to handle radix_tree_insert() failure.

One of the biggest problems with GPT is compatibility with older, non-GPT
systems. The problem is addressed by creating hybrid mbrs, an extension,
or variant, of the traditional protective mbr. This contains, apart from
the 0xEE partition, up three additional primary partitions that point to
the same space marked by up to three GPT partitions. The result is that
legacy OSs can see the three required MBR partitions and at the same time
ignore the GPT-aware partitions that protect the GPT structures.
While hybrid MBRs are hacks, workarounds and simply not part of the GPT
standard, they do exist and we have no way around them. For instance, by
default, OSX creates a hybrid scheme when using multi-OS booting.
In order for Linux to properly discover protective MBRs, it must be made
aware of devices that have hybrid MBRs. No functionality is changed by
this patch, just a debug message informing the user of the MBR scheme that
is being used.

When detecting a valid protective MBR, the Linux kernel isn't picky about
the partition (1-4) the 0xEE is at, but, unlike other operating systems,
it does require it to begin at the second sector (sector 1). This check,
apart from it not being enforced by UEFI, and causing Linux to potentially
fail to detect any *valid* partitions on the disk, can present problems
when dealing with hybrid MBRs[1].
For compatibility reasons, if the first partition is hybridized, the 0xEE
partition must be small enough to ensure that it only protects the GPT
data structures - as opposed to the the whole disk in a protective MBR.
This problem is very well described by Rod Smith[1]: where MBR-only
partitioning programs (such as older versions of fdisk) can see some of
the disk space as unallocated, thus loosing the purpose of the 0xEE
partition's protection of GPT data structures.
By dropping this check, this patch enables Linux to be more flexible when
probing for GPT disklabels.

The kernel's GPT implementation currently uses the generic 'struct
partition' type for dealing with legacy MBR partition records. While this
is is useful for disklabels that we designed for CHS addressing, such as
msdos, it doesn't adapt well to newer standards that use LBA instead, such
as GUID partition tables. Furthermore, these generic partition structures
do not have all the required fields to properly follow the UEFI specs.
While a CHS address can be translated to LBA, it's much simpler and
cleaner to just replace the partition type. This patch adds a new
'gpt_record' type that is fully compliant with EFI and will allow, in the
next patches, to add more checks to properly verify a protective MBR,
which is paramount to probing a device that makes use of GPT.

I found the following pattern that leads in to interesting findings:
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__put_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__get_user" *
grep -r "ret.*|=.*__copy" *
The __put_user() calls in compat_ioctl.c, ptrace compat, signal compat,
since those appear in compat code, we could probably expect the kernel
addresses not to be reachable in the lower 32-bit range, so I think they
might not be exploitable.
For the "__get_user" cases, I don't think those are exploitable: the worse
that can happen is that the kernel will copy kernel memory into in-kernel
buffers, and will fail immediately afterward.
The alpha csum_partial_copy_from_user() seems to be missing the
access_ok() check entirely. The fix is inspired from x86. This could
lead to information leak on alpha. I also noticed that many architectures
map csum_partial_copy_from_user() to csum_partial_copy_generic(), but I
wonder if the latter is performing the access checks on every
architectures.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on the cgroup front. Most changes aren't visible
to userland at all at this point and are laying foundation for the
planned unified hierarchy.
- The biggest change is decoupling the lifetime management of css
(cgroup_subsys_state) from that of cgroup's. Because controllers
(cpu, memory, block and so on) will need to be dynamically enabled
and disabled, css which is the association point between a cgroup
and a controller may come and go dynamically across the lifetime of
a cgroup. Till now, css's were created when the associated cgroup
was created and stayed till the cgroup got destroyed.
Assumptions around this tight coupling permeated through cgroup
core and controllers. These assumptions are gradually removed,
which consists bulk of patches, and css destruction path is
completely decoupled from cgroup destruction path. Note that
decoupling of creation path is relatively easy on top of these
changes and the patchset is pending for the next window.
- cgroup has its own event mechanism cgroup.event_control, which is
only used by memcg. It is overly complex trying to achieve high
flexibility whose benefits seem dubious at best. Going forward,
new events will simply generate file modified event and the
existing mechanism is being made specific to memcg. This pull
request contains prepatory patches for such change.
- Various fixes and cleanups"

Previously, all css descendant iterators didn't include the origin
(root of subtree) css in the iteration. The reasons were maintaining
consistency with css_for_each_child() and that at the time of
introduction more use cases needed skipping the origin anyway;
however, given that css_is_descendant() considers self to be a
descendant, omitting the origin css has become more confusing and
looking at the accumulated use cases rather clearly indicates that
including origin would result in simpler code overall.
While this is a change which can easily lead to subtle bugs, cgroup
API including the iterators has recently gone through major
restructuring and no out-of-tree changes will be applicable without
adjustments making this a relatively acceptable opportunity for this
type of change.
The conversions are mostly straight-forward. If the iteration block
had explicit origin handling before or after, it's moved inside the
iteration. If not, if (pos == origin) continue; is added. Some
conversions add extra reference get/put around origin handling by
consolidating origin handling and the rest. While the extra ref
operations aren't strictly necessary, this shouldn't cause any
noticeable difference.

cgroup is in the process of converting to css (cgroup_subsys_state)
from cgroup as the principal subsystem interface handle. This is
mostly to prepare for the unified hierarchy support where css's will
be created and destroyed dynamically but also helps cleaning up
subsystem implementations as css is usually what they are interested
in anyway.
cgroup_taskset which is used by the subsystem attach methods is the
last cgroup subsystem API which isn't using css as the handle. Update
cgroup_taskset_cur_cgroup() to cgroup_taskset_cur_css() and
cgroup_taskset_for_each() to take @skip_css instead of @skip_cgrp.
The conversions are pretty mechanical. One exception is
cpuset::cgroup_cs(), which lost its last user and got removed.
This patch shouldn't introduce any functional changes.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using css
(cgroup_subsys_state) as the primary handle instead of cgroup in
subsystem API. For hierarchy iterators, this is beneficial because
* In most cases, css is the only thing subsystems care about anyway.
* On the planned unified hierarchy, iterations for different
subsystems will need to skip over different subtrees of the
hierarchy depending on which subsystems are enabled on each cgroup.
Passing around css makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify the
subsystem in question as css is intersection between cgroup and
subsystem
* For the planned unified hierarchy, css's would need to be created
and destroyed dynamically independent from cgroup hierarchy. Having
cgroup core manage css iteration makes enforcing deref rules a lot
easier.
Most subsystem conversions are straight-forward. Noteworthy changes
are
* blkio: cgroup_to_blkcg() is no longer used. Removed.
* freezer: cgroup_freezer() is no longer used. Removed.
* devices: cgroup_to_devcgroup() is no longer used. Removed.

cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup.
Please see the previous commit which converts the subsystem methods
for rationale.
This patch converts all cftype file operations to take @css instead of
@cgroup. cftypes for the cgroup core files don't have their subsytem
pointer set. These will automatically use the dummy_css added by the
previous patch and can be converted the same way.
Most subsystem conversions are straight forwards but there are some
interesting ones.
* freezer: update_if_frozen() is also converted to take @css instead
of @cgroup for consistency. This will make the code look simpler
too once iterators are converted to use css.
* memory/vmpressure: mem_cgroup_from_css() needs to be exported to
vmpressure while mem_cgroup_from_cont() can be made static.
Updated accordingly.
* cpu: cgroup_tg() doesn't have any user left. Removed.

cgroup is transitioning to using css (cgroup_subsys_state) instead of
cgroup as the primary subsystem handle. The cgroupfs file interface
will be converted to use css's which requires finding out the
subsystem from cftype so that the matching css can be determined from
the cgroup.
This patch adds cftype->ss which points to the subsystem the file
belongs to. The field is initialized while a cftype is being
registered. This makes it unnecessary to explicitly specify the
subsystem for other cftype handling functions. @ss argument dropped
from various cftype handling functions.

cgroup is currently in the process of transitioning to using struct
cgroup_subsys_state * as the primary handle instead of struct cgroup *
in subsystem implementations for the following reasons.
* With unified hierarchy, subsystems will be dynamically bound and
unbound from cgroups and thus css's (cgroup_subsys_state) may be
created and destroyed dynamically over the lifetime of a cgroup,
which is different from the current state where all css's are
allocated and destroyed together with the associated cgroup. This
in turn means that cgroup_css() should be synchronized and may
return NULL, making it more cumbersome to use.
* Differing levels of per-subsystem granularity in the unified
hierarchy means that the task and descendant iterators should behave
differently depending on the specific subsystem the iteration is
being performed for.
* In majority of the cases, subsystems only care about its part in the
cgroup hierarchy - ie. the hierarchy of css's. Subsystem methods
often obtain the matching css pointer from the cgroup and don't
bother with the cgroup pointer itself. Passing around css fits
much better.
This patch converts all cgroup_subsys methods to take @css instead of
@cgroup. The conversions are mostly straight-forward. A few
noteworthy changes are
* ->css_alloc() now takes css of the parent cgroup rather than the
pointer to the new cgroup as the css for the new cgroup doesn't
exist yet. Knowing the parent css is enough for all the existing
subsystems.
* In kernel/cgroup.c::offline_css(), unnecessary open coded css
dereference is replaced with local variable access.
This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.
v2: Unnecessary explicit cgrp->subsys[] deref in css_online() replaced
with local variable @css as suggested by Li Zefan.
Rebased on top of new for-3.12 which includes for-3.11-fixes so
that ->css_free() invocation added by da0a12caff ("cgroup: fix a
leak when percpu_ref_init() fails") is converted too. Suggested
by Li Zefan.

Currently, controllers have to explicitly follow the cgroup hierarchy
to find the parent of a given css. cgroup is moving towards using
cgroup_subsys_state as the main controller interface construct, so
let's provide a way to climb the hierarchy using just csses.
This patch implements css_parent() which, given a css, returns its
parent. The function is guarnateed to valid non-NULL parent css as
long as the target css is not at the top of the hierarchy.
freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct, hugetlb, memory, net_cls and devices
are converted to use css_parent() instead of accessing cgroup->parent
directly.
* __parent_ca() is dropped from cpuacct and its usage is replaced with
parent_ca(). The only difference between the two was NULL test on
cgroup->parent which is now embedded in css_parent() making the
distinction moot. Note that eventually a css->parent field will be
added to css and the NULL check in css_parent() will go away.
This patch shouldn't cause any behavior differences.

css (cgroup_subsys_state) is usually embedded in a subsys specific
data structure. Subsystems either use container_of() directly to cast
from css to such data structure or has an accessor function wrapping
such cast. As cgroup as whole is moving towards using css as the main
interface handle, add and update such accessors to ease dealing with
css's.
All accessors explicitly handle NULL input and return NULL in those
cases. While this looks like an extra branch in the code, as all
controllers specific data structures have css as the first field, the
casting doesn't involve any offsetting and the compiler can trivially
optimize out the branch.
* blkio, freezer, cpuset, cpu, cpuacct and net_cls didn't have such
accessor. Added.
* memory, hugetlb and devices already had one but didn't explicitly
handle NULL input. Updated.

The names of the two struct cgroup_subsys_state accessors -
cgroup_subsys_state() and task_subsys_state() - are somewhat awkward.
The former clashes with the type name and the latter doesn't even
indicate it's somehow related to cgroup.
We're about to revamp large portion of cgroup API, so, let's rename
them so that they're less awkward. Most per-controller usages of the
accessors are localized in accessor wrappers and given the amount of
scheduled changes, this isn't gonna add any noticeable headache.
Rename cgroup_subsys_state() to cgroup_css() and task_subsys_state()
to task_css(). This patch is pure rename.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the drivers/block uses of the __cpuinit macros
from all C files.

This avoids removal of AIX disks protection from msdos.c, avoids code
