* dm: allow remove to be deferredMikulas Patocka2013-11-094-12/+99
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows the removal of an open device to be deferred until it is closed. (Previously such a removal attempt would fail.) The deferred remove functionality is enabled by setting the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE in the ioctl structure on DM_DEV_REMOVE or DM_REMOVE_ALL ioctl. On return from DM_DEV_REMOVE, the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE indicates if the device was removed immediately or flagged to be removed on close - if the flag is clear, the device was removed. On return from DM_DEV_STATUS and other ioctls, the flag DM_DEFERRED_REMOVE is set if the device is scheduled to be removed on closure. A device that is scheduled to be deleted can be revived using the message "@cancel_deferred_remove". This message clears the DMF_DEFERRED_REMOVE flag so that the device won't be deleted on close.

* dm table: print error on preresume failureMike Snitzer2013-11-091-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If preresume fails it is worth logging an error given that a device is left suspended due to the failure. This change was motivated by local preresume error logging that was added to the cache target ("preresume failed"). Elevating this target-agnostic context for the where the target-specific error occurred relative to the DM core's callouts makes sense.

* dm crypt: add TCW IV mode for old CBC TCRYPT containersMilan Broz2013-11-092-4/+192
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dm-crypt can already activate TCRYPT (TrueCrypt compatible) containers in LRW or XTS block encryption mode. TCRYPT containers prior to version 4.1 use CBC mode with some additional tweaks, this patch adds support for these containers. This new mode is implemented using special IV generator named TCW (TrueCrypt IV with whitening). TCW IV only supports containers that are encrypted with one cipher (Tested with AES, Twofish, Serpent, CAST5 and TripleDES). While this mode is legacy and is known to be vulnerable to some watermarking attacks (e.g. revealing of hidden disk existence) it can still be useful to activate old containers without using 3rd party software or for independent forensic analysis of such containers. (Both the userspace and kernel code is an independent implementation based on the format documentation and it completely avoids use of original source code.) The TCW IV generator uses two additional keys: Kw (whitening seed, size is always 16 bytes - TCW_WHITENING_SIZE) and Kiv (IV seed, size is always the IV size of the selected cipher). These keys are concatenated at the end of the main encryption key provided in mapping table. While whitening is completely independent from IV, it is implemented inside IV generator for simplification. The whitening value is always 16 bytes long and is calculated per sector from provided Kw as initial seed, xored with sector number and mixed with CRC32 algorithm. Resulting value is xored with ciphertext sector content. IV is calculated from the provided Kiv as initial IV seed and xored with sector number. Detailed calculation can be found in the Truecrypt documentation for version < 4.1 and will also be described on dm-crypt site, see: http://code.google.com/p/cryptsetup/wiki/DMCrypt The experimental support for activation of these containers is already present in git devel brach of cryptsetup.

* dm crypt: properly handle extra key string in initializationMilan Broz2013-11-091-11/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some encryption modes use extra keys (e.g. loopAES has IV seed) which are not used in block cipher initialization but are part of key string in table constructor. This patch adds an additional field which describes the length of the extra key(s) and substracts it before real key encryption setting. The key_size always includes the size, in bytes, of the key provided in mapping table. The key_parts describes how many parts (usually keys) are contained in the whole key buffer. And key_extra_size contains size in bytes of additional keys part (this number of bytes must be subtracted because it is processed by the IV generator). | K1 | K2 | .... | K64 | Kiv | |----------- key_size ----------------- | | |-key_extra_size-| | [64 keys] | [1 key] | => key_parts = 65 Example where key string contains main key K, whitening key Kw and IV seed Kiv: | K | Kiv | Kw | |--------------- key_size --------------| | |-----key_extra_size------| | [1 key] | [1 key] | [1 key] | => key_parts = 3 Because key_extra_size is calculated during IV mode setting, key initialization is moved after this step. For now, this change has no effect to supported modes (thanks to ilog2 rounding) but it is required by the following patch. Also, fix a sparse warning in crypt_iv_lmk_one().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for a shutdown The code that was trying to do this was inadequate. The postsuspend method (in ioctl context), needs to wait for the worker thread to acknowledge the request to quiesce. Otherwise the migration count may drop to zero temporarily before the worker thread realises we're quiescing. In this case the target will be taken down, but the worker thread may have issued a new migration, which will cause an oops when it completes.

* dm mpath: requeue I/O during pg_initHannes Reinecke2013-11-051-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When pg_init is running no I/O can be submitted to the underlying devices, as the path priority etc might change. When using queue_io for this, requests will be piling up within multipath as the block I/O scheduler just sees a _very fast_ device. All of this queued I/O has to be resubmitted from within multipathing once pg_init is done. This approach has the problem that it's virtually impossible to abort I/O when pg_init is running, and we're adding heavy load to the devices after pg_init since all of the queued I/O needs to be resubmitted _before_ any requests can be pulled off of the request queue and normal operation continues. This patch will requeue the I/O that triggers the pg_init call, and return 'busy' when pg_init is in progress. With these changes the block I/O scheduler will stop submitting I/O during pg_init, resulting in a quicker path switch and less I/O pressure (and memory consumption) after pg_init.

* dm mpath: fix race condition between multipath_dtr and pg_init_doneShiva Krishna Merla2013-10-311-3/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Whenever multipath_dtr() is happening we must prevent queueing any further path activation work. Implement this by adding a new 'pg_init_disabled' flag to the multipath structure that denotes future path activation work should be skipped if it is set. By disabling pg_init and then re-enabling in flush_multipath_work() we also avoid the potential for pg_init to be initiated while suspending an mpath device. Without this patch a race condition exists that may result in a kernel panic: 1) If after pg_init_done() decrements pg_init_in_progress to 0, a call to wait_for_pg_init_completion() assumes there are no more pending path management commands. 2) If pg_init_required is set by pg_init_done(), due to retryable mode_select errors, then process_queued_ios() will again queue the path activation work. 3) If free_multipath() completes before activate_path() work is called a NULL pointer dereference like the following can be seen when accessing members of the recently destructed multipath: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000090 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa003db1b>] [<ffffffffa003db1b>] activate_path+0x1b/0x30 [dm_multipath] [<ffffffff81090ac0>] worker_thread+0x170/0x2a0 [<ffffffff81096c80>] ? autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x40 [switch to disabling pg_init in flush_multipath_work & header edits by Mike Snitzer] Signed-off-by: Shiva Krishna Merla <shivakrishna.merla@netapp.com> Reviewed-by: Krishnasamy Somasundaram <somasundaram.krishnasamy@netapp.com> Tested-by: Speagle Andy <Andy.Speagle@netapp.com> Acked-by: Junichi Nomura <j-nomura@ce.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@redhat.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
* dm: allocate buffer for messages with small number of arguments using GFP_NOIOMikulas Patocka2013-10-311-2/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dm-mpath and dm-thin must process messages even if some device is suspended, so we allocate argv buffer with GFP_NOIO. These messages have a small fixed number of arguments. On the other hand, dm-switch needs to process bulk data using messages so excessive use of GFP_NOIO could cause trouble. The patch also lowers the default number of arguments from 64 to 8, so that there is smaller load on GFP_NOIO allocations.

During the async mode setup, sync flags gets incorrectly set in the onenand_async data and the system crashes during the async setup. Also, the sync mode never gets set in gpmc_onenand_data->flags, so even without the crash, the actual sync mode setup would never be called. The patch fixes this by adjusting the gpmc_onenand_data->flags when the data is read from the DT. Also while doing this we force the onenand_async to be always async. The patch enables to use the following DTS chunk (that should correspond the arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-rm680.c board file setup) with Nokia N950, which currently crashes with 3.12-rc1. The crash output can be also found below. &gpmc { ranges = <0 0 0x04000000 0x20000000>; onenand@0,0 { #address-cells = <1>; #size-cells = <1>; reg = <0 0 0x20000000>; gpmc,sync-read; gpmc,sync-write;

The problem is, that in print_worker_info() we try to read the workqueue info via the probe_kernel_read() functions which use pagefault_disable() to avoid crashes like this: probe_kernel_read(&pwq, &worker->current_pwq, sizeof(pwq)); probe_kernel_read(&wq, &pwq->wq, sizeof(wq)); probe_kernel_read(name, wq->name, sizeof(name) - 1); The problem here is, that the first probe_kernel_read(&pwq) might return zero in pwq and as such the following probe_kernel_reads() try to access contents of the page zero which is read protected and generate a kernel segfault. With this patch we fix the interruption handler to call parisc_terminate() directly only if pagefault_disable() was not called (in which case preempt_count()==0). Otherwise we hand over to the pagefault handler which will try to look up the faulting address in the fixup tables.

* | | vfs: allow O_PATH file descriptors for fstatfs()Linus Torvalds2013-10-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Olga reported that file descriptors opened with O_PATH do not work with fstatfs(), found during further development of ksh93's thread support. There is no reason to not allow O_PATH file descriptors here (fstatfs is very much a path operation), so use "fdget_raw()". See commit 55815f70147d ("vfs: make O_PATH file descriptors usable for 'fstat()'") for a very similar issue reported for fstat() by the same team.

If we don't do the return, we over-write the previous allocation pointers, so we leak either way. Spotted with Coverity.

[job7] startdelay=0 rw=randrw filename=data0/f2:data0/f1 The culprit of the problem is that after the commit ext4_writepages() are more aggressive in writing back pages. Thus we have less consecutive dirty pages resulting in more seeking. This increased aggressivity is caused by a bug in the condition terminating ext4_writepages(). We start writing from the beginning of the file even if we should have terminated ext4_writepages() because wbc->nr_to_write <= 0. After fixing the condition the throughput of the fio workload is about 20% better than before writeback reorganization.
