| * | NVMe: Namespace use after free on surprise removalKeith Busch2014-02-021-13/+42
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An nvme block device may have open references when the device is removed. New commands may still be sent on the removed device, so we need to ref count the opens, return errors for new commands, and not free the namespace and nvme_dev until all references are closed.

| * | NVMe: Correct uses of INIT_WORKMatthew Wilcox2014-01-291-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to initialise the work_struct when we initialise the rest of the struct nvme_dev, otherwise we'll hit a lockdep warning when we remove the device.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some users need more than 64 partitions per device. Rather than simply increasing the number of partitions, switch to the dynamic partition allocation scheme. This means that minor numbers are not stable across boots, but since major numbers aren't either, I cannot see this being a significant problem.

| * | NVMe: Async IO queue deletionKeith Busch2014-01-271-12/+217
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This attempts to delete all IO queues at the same time asynchronously on shutdown. This is necessary for a present device that is not responding; a shutdown operation previously would take 2 minutes per queue-pair to timeout before moving on to the next queue, making a device removal appear to take a very long time or "hung" as reported by users. In the previous worst case, a removal may be stuck forever until a kill signal is given if there are more than 32 queue pairs since it would run out of admin command IDs after over an hour of timed out sync commands (admin queue depth is 64). This patch will wait for the admin command timeout for all commands to complete, so the worst case now for an unresponsive controller is 60 seconds, though that still seems like a long time. Since this adds another way to take queues offline, some duplicate code resulted so I moved these into more convienient functions.

| * | NVMe: Surprise removal handlingKeith Busch2014-01-271-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds checks to see if the nvme pci device was removed. The check reads the status register for the value of -1, which it should never be unless the device is no longer present. If a user performs a surprise removal on an nvme device, the driver will be notified either by the pci driver remove callback if the platform's slot is capable of this event, or via reading the device BAR status register, which will indicate controller failure and trigger a reset. Either way, the device is not present so all outstanding commands would timeout. This will not send queue deletion commands to a drive that isn't present and fail after ioremap, significantly speeding up surprise removal; previously this took over 2 minutes per IO queue pair created, but this will complete removing the device within a few seconds.

| * | NVMe: Device resume error handlingKeith Busch2013-12-161-15/+93
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Adds controller error handling on resume power management. If the device fails to initialize, the device is queued for a reset. If the reset fails, a thread is spawned to remove the pci device. If the device resumes as "busy", the device is responding to admin commands but will not create IO queues. In this case, we need to remove the gendisks and free the IO queues since they can't be used and may be holding bios in their lists. From testing, the dma pools require a pci device so this had to change the pci driver 'remove' to release the dma resources in line with that call instead of after all references to the device are released.

Therefore this series does the following: - the original functions were renamed to __gnttab_[un]map_refs, with a new parameter m2p_override - based on m2p_override either they follow the original behaviour, or just set the private flag and call set_phys_to_machine - gnttab_[un]map_refs are now a wrapper to call __gnttab_[un]map_refs with m2p_override false - a new function gnttab_[un]map_refs_userspace provides the old behaviour It also removes a stray space from page.h and change ret to 0 if XENFEAT_auto_translated_physmap, as that is the only possible return value there. v2: - move the storing of the old mfn in page->index to gnttab_map_refs - move the function header update to a separate patch v3: - a new approach to retain old behaviour where it needed - squash the patches into one v4: - move out the common bits from m2p* functions, and pass pfn/mfn as parameter - clear page->private before doing anything with the page, so m2p_find_override won't race with this v5: - change return value handling in __gnttab_[un]map_refs - remove a stray space in page.h - add detail why ret = 0 now at some places v6: - don't pass pfn to m2p* functions, just get it locally Signed-off-by: Zoltan Kiss <zoltan.kiss@citrix.com> Suggested-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Acked-by: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com> Acked-by: Stefano Stabellini <stefano.stabellini@eu.citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>

So, we could do old: read-read: OK read-write: NO write-write: NO Now: read-read: OK read-write: OK write-write: NO The below data proves mixed workload performs well 11 times and there is also enhance on write-write path because current rw-semaphore doesn't support SPIN_ON_OWNER. It's side effect but anyway good thing for us. Write-related tests perform better (from 61% to 1058%) but read path has good/bad(from -2.22% to 1.45%) but they are all marginal within stddev.

Let's consider below example. Swap subsystem ask to zram "A" block free by swap_slot_free_notify but zram had been pended it without real freeing. Swap subsystem allocates "A" block for new data but request pended for a long time just handled and zram blindly free new data on the "A" block. :( That's why we couldn't remove handle pending free request right before zram-write.

Of course, there are lots of product using zram in real practice. The major TV companys have used zram as swap since two years ago and recently our production team released android smart phone with zram which is used as swap, too and recently Android Kitkat start to use zram for small memory smart phone. And there was a report Google released their ChromeOS with zram, too and cyanogenmod have been used zram long time ago. And I heard some disto have used zram block device for tmpfs. In addition, I saw many report from many other peoples. For example, Lubuntu start to use it. The benefit of zram is very clear. With my experience, one of the benefit was to remove jitter of video application with backgroud memory pressure. It would be effect of efficient memory usage by compression but more issue is whether swap is there or not in the system. Recent mobile platforms have used JAVA so there are many anonymous pages. But embedded system normally are reluctant to use eMMC or SDCard as swap because there is wear-leveling and latency issues so if we do not use swap, it means we can't reclaim anoymous pages and at last, we could encounter OOM kill. :( Although we have real storage as swap, it was a problem, too. Because it sometime ends up making system very unresponsible caused by slow swap storage performance. Quote from Luigi on Google "Since Chrome OS was mentioned: the main reason why we don't use swap to a disk (rotating or SSD) is because it doesn't degrade gracefully and leads to a bad interactive experience. Generally we prefer to manage RAM at a higher level, by transparently killing and restarting processes. But we noticed that zram is fast enough to be competitive with the latter, and it lets us make more efficient use of the available RAM. " and he announced. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg57717.html Other uses case is to use zram for block device. Zram is block device so anyone can format the block device and mount on it so some guys on the internet start zram as /var/tmp. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-838198-start-0.html Let's promote zram and enhance/maintain it instead of removing.

This allocation can fail with a surprise insert under low & fragmented memory conditions. This patch breaks these regions up into separate low order allocations and increases the maximum number of segments a single command SGL can have. We wanted to allow at least 256 segments for 1 MB direct IO. Since the command header occupies the first 0x80 bytes of the SGL blob, that meant we needed two 4k pages to contain the header and SGL. The two pages allow up to 504 SGL segments. Signed-off-by: Sam Bradshaw <sbradshaw@micron.com> Signed-off-by: Asai Thambi S P <asamymuthupa@micron.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

Fix this by introducing FD_OPEN_SHOULD_FAIL_BIT flag, and setting it in case the bio callback encounters an error while trying to read block 0. As a bonus, this works around certain broken userspace (blkid), which is not able to properly handle read()s returning IO errors. Hence be nice to those, and bail out during open() already; if block 0 is not readable, read()s are not going to provide any meaningful data anyway. Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

It also has different semantics - it doesn't allocate a struct bio_pair, leaving it up to the caller to handle completions. Then convert the existing bio_pair_split() users to the new bio_split() - and also nvme, which was open coding bio splitting. (We have to take that BUG_ON() out of bio_integrity_trim() because this bio_split() needs to use it, and there's no reason it has to be used on bios marked as cloned; BIO_CLONED doesn't seem to have clearly documented semantics anyways.)

(Someone more familiar with the ceph code could probably use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone() here).
