* virtio: fix module/device unloadingRusty Russell2007-11-18
| | | | | | | | | | | The virtio code never hooked through the ->remove callback. Although noone supports device removal at the moment, this code is already needed for module unloading. This of course also revealed bugs in virtio_blk, virtio_net and lguest unloading paths. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* rd: fix data corruption on memory pressureChristian Borntraeger2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have seen ramdisk based install systems, where some pages of mapped libraries and programs were suddendly zeroed under memory pressure. This should not happen, as the ramdisk avoids freeing its pages by keeping them dirty all the time. It turns out that there is a case, where the VM makes a ramdisk page clean, without telling the ramdisk driver. On memory pressure shrink_zone runs and it starts to run shrink_active_list. There is a check for buffer_heads_over_limit, and if true, pagevec_strip is called. pagevec_strip calls try_to_release_page. If the mapping has no releasepage callback, try_to_free_buffers is called. try_to_free_buffers has now a special logic for some file systems to make a dirty page clean, if all buffers are clean. Thats what happened in our test case. The simplest solution is to provide a noop-releasepage callback for the ramdisk driver. This avoids try_to_free_buffers for ramdisk pages.

* paride: pf driver fixesOndrej Zary2007-11-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pf driver for parallel port floppy drives seems to be broken. At least with Imation SuperDisk with EPAT chip, the driver calls pi_connect() and pi_disconnect after each transferred sector. At least with EPAT, this operation is very expensive - causes drive recalibration. Thus, transferring even a single byte (dd if=/dev/pf0 of=/dev/null bs=1 count=1) takes 20 seconds, making the driver useless. The pf_next_buf() function seems to be broken as it returns 1 always (except when pf_run is non-zero), causing the loop in do_pf_read_drq (and do_pf_write_drq) to be executed only once. The following patch fixes this problem. It also fixes swapped descriptions in pf_lock() function and removes DBMSG macro, which seems useless.

* [NET]: Add the helper kernel_sock_shutdown()Trond Myklebust2007-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ...and fix a couple of bugs in the NBD, CIFS and OCFS2 socket handlers. Looking at the sock->op->shutdown() handlers, it looks as if all of them take a SHUT_RD/SHUT_WR/SHUT_RDWR argument instead of the RCV_SHUTDOWN/SEND_SHUTDOWN arguments. Add a helper, and then define the SHUT_* enum to ensure that kernel users of shutdown() don't get confused.

This happened to work for ia64, powerpc, sparc64 and x86 because they happened to drag in that file via their <asm/dma-mapping.h>. On most of the others this probably broke. Instead of increasing the header file spider web I choose to include <linux/scatterlist.h> directly into the affectes files.

* Block driver using virtio.Rusty Russell2007-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector and inbuf id. The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last sg is the status byte. Whether the N entries are in or out depends on whether it's a read or a write. We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported. It's not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir(). Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd, CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace. This needs a separate patch.

* | floppy: remove register keyword use from floppy driverJesper Juhl2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The floppy drive is slow. These days I see absolutely no good reason why the floppy driver should try to gain a tiny bit of speed by telling gcc to optimize access to some variables via the register keyword. Better to just leave gcc free to do whatever optimizations it deduces to be sane and not hamper it by telling it that some variables in the floppy driver are special and need to be fast (they don't).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a problem with the way cciss was filling out the "errors" field of the request structure upon completion of requests. Previously, it just put a 1 or a 0 in there and used the negation of this as the uptodate parameter to one of the functions in the block layer, being a block device. For the SG_IO ioctl, this was not sufficient, and we noticed that, for example, sg_turs from sg3_utils did not correctly detect problems due to cciss having set rq->errors incorrectly.

* | NBD: allow hung network I/O to be cancelledPaul Clements2007-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow NBD I/O to be cancelled when a network outage occurs. Previously, I/O would just hang, and if enough I/O was hung in nbd, the system (at least user-level) would completely hang until a TCP timeout (default, 15 minutes) occurred. The patch introduces a new ioctl NBD_SET_TIMEOUT that allows a transmit timeout value (in seconds) to be specified. Any network send that exceeds the timeout will be cancelled and the nbd connection will be shut down. I've tested with various timeout values and 6 seconds seems to be a good choice for the timeout. If the NBD_SET_TIMEOUT ioctl is not called, you get the old (I/O hang) behavior.

The CCISS driver request function passes an uninitialized, temporary, on-stack scatterlist array to blk_rq_map_sq(). sg_next() interprets random data on the stack as a chain pointer and eventually tries to de-reference an invalid pointer, resulting in: [<ffffffff8031dd70>] blk_rq_map_sg+0x70/0x170 PGD 6090c3067 PUD 0 Oops: 0000 [1] SMP last sysfs file: /block/cciss!c0d0/cciss!c0d0p1/dev CPU 6 Modules linked in: ehci_hcd ohci_hcd uhci_hcd Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 2.6.23-rc6-mm1 #3 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8031dd70>] [<ffffffff8031dd70>] blk_rq_map_sg+0x70/0x170 RSP: 0018:ffff81060901f768 EFLAGS: 00010206 RAX: 000000040b161000 RBX: ffff81060901f7d8 RCX: 000000040b162c00 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffff81060b13a260 RDI: ffff81060b139600 RBP: 0000000000001400 R08: 00000000fffffffe R09: 0000000000000400 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000000040b163000 R12: ffff810102fe0000 R13: 0000000000000001 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: 00001e0000000000 FS: 00000000026108f0(0063) GS:ffff810409000b80(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 000000010000001e CR3: 00000006090c6000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process init (pid: 1, threadinfo ffff81060901e000, task ffff810409020800) last branch before last exception/interrupt from [<ffffffff8031de0a>] blk_rq_map_sg+0x10a/0x170 to [<ffffffff8031dd70>] blk_rq_map_sg+0x70/0x170 Stack: 000000018068ea00 ffff810102fe0000 0000000000000000 ffff810011400000 0000000000000002 0000000000000000 ffff81040b172000 ffffffff803acd3d 0000000000003ec1 ffff8106090d5000 ffff8106090d5000 ffff810102fe0000 Call Trace: [<ffffffff803acd3d>] do_cciss_request+0x15d/0x4c0 [<ffffffff80298968>] new_slab+0x1c8/0x270 [<ffffffff80298ffd>] __slab_alloc+0x22d/0x470 [<ffffffff8027327b>] mempool_alloc+0x4b/0x130 [<ffffffff8032b21e>] cfq_set_request+0xee/0x380 [<ffffffff8027327b>] mempool_alloc+0x4b/0x130 [<ffffffff8031ff98>] get_request+0x168/0x360 [<ffffffff80331b0d>] rb_insert_color+0x8d/0x110 [<ffffffff8031cfd8>] elv_rb_add+0x58/0x60 [<ffffffff8032a329>] cfq_add_rq_rb+0x69/0xa0 [<ffffffff8031c1ab>] elv_merged_request+0x5b/0x60 [<ffffffff803224fd>] __make_request+0x23d/0x650 [<ffffffff80298ffd>] __slab_alloc+0x22d/0x470 [<ffffffff80270000>] generic_write_checks+0x140/0x190 [<ffffffff8031f012>] generic_make_request+0x1c2/0x3a0 <etc> Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! This patch initializes the tmp_sg array to zeroes. Perhaps not the ultimate fix, but an effective work-around. I can now boot 23-rc6-mm1 on an HP Proliant x86_64 with CCISS boot disk.

* | deny partial write for loop dev fdDmitry Monakhov2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Partial write can be easily supported by LO_CRYPT_NONE mode, but it is not easy in LO_CRYPT_CRYPTOAPI case, because of its block nature. I don't know who still used cryptoapi, but theoretically it is possible. So let's leave things as they are. Loop device doesn't support partial write before Nick's "write_begin/write_end" patch set, and let's it behave the same way after.
