Pull core block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
"This is the main pull request for block storage for 4.15-rc1.
Nothing out of the ordinary in here, and no API changes or anything
like that. Just various new features for drivers, core changes, etc.
In particular, this pull request contains:
- A patch series from Bart, closing the whole on blk/scsi-mq queue
quescing.
- A series from Christoph, building towards hidden gendisks (for
multipath) and ability to move bio chains around.
- NVMe
- Support for native multipath for NVMe (Christoph).
- Userspace notifications for AENs (Keith).
- Command side-effects support (Keith).
- SGL support (Chaitanya Kulkarni)
- FC fixes and improvements (James Smart)
- Lots of fixes and tweaks (Various)
- bcache
- New maintainer (Michael Lyle)
- Writeback control improvements (Michael)
- Various fixes (Coly, Elena, Eric, Liang, et al)
- lightnvm updates, mostly centered around the pblk interface
(Javier, Hans, and Rakesh).
- Removal of unused bio/bvec kmap atomic interfaces (me, Christoph)
- Writeback series that fix the much discussed hundreds of millions
of sync-all units. This goes all the way, as discussed previously
(me).
- Fix for missing wakeup on writeback timer adjustments (Yafang
Shao).
- Fix laptop mode on blk-mq (me).
- {mq,name} tupple lookup for IO schedulers, allowing us to have
alias names. This means you can use 'deadline' on both !mq and on
mq (where it's called mq-deadline). (me).
- blktrace race fix, oopsing on sg load (me).
- blk-mq optimizations (me).
- Obscure waitqueue race fix for kyber (Omar).
- NBD fixes (Josef).
- Disable writeback throttling by default on bfq, like we do on cfq
(Luca Miccio).
- Series from Ming that enable us to treat flush requests on blk-mq
like any other request. This is a really nice cleanup.
- Series from Ming that improves merging on blk-mq with schedulers,
getting us closer to flipping the switch on scsi-mq again.
- BFQ updates (Paolo).
- blk-mq atomic flags memory ordering fixes (Peter Z).
- Loop cgroup support (Shaohua).
- Lots of minor fixes from lots of different folks, both for core and
driver code"

The hidden gendisks introduced in the next patch need to keep the dev
field in their struct device empty so that udev won't try to create
block device nodes for them. To support that rewrite disk_devt to
look at the major and first_minor fields in the gendisk itself instead
of looking into the struct device.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The warning is a false positive, caused by the fact that all
wait_for_completion()s in submit_bio_wait() are waiting with the same
lock class.
However, some bios have nothing to do with others, for example in the case
of loop devices, there's no direct connection between the bios of an upper
device and the bios of a lower device(=loop device).
The safest way to assign different lock classes to different devices is
to do it for each gendisk. In other words, this patch assigns a
lockdep_map per gendisk and uses it when initializing completion in
submit_bio_wait().

Commit 25520d55cdb6 ("block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk")
introduced blk_integrity_revalidate(), which seems to assume ownership
of the stable pages flag and unilaterally clears it if no blk_integrity
profile is registered:
if (bi->profile)
disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities |=
BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
else
disk->queue->backing_dev_info->capabilities &=
~BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES;
It's called from revalidate_disk() and rescan_partitions(), making it
impossible to enable stable pages for drivers that support partitions
and don't use blk_integrity: while the call in revalidate_disk() can be
trivially worked around (see zram, which doesn't support partitions and
hence gets away with zram_revalidate_disk()), rescan_partitions() can
be triggered from userspace at any time. This breaks rbd, where the
ceph messenger is responsible for generating/verifying CRCs.
Since blk_integrity_{un,}register() "must" be used for (un)registering
the integrity profile with the block layer, move BDI_CAP_STABLE_WRITES
setting there. This way drivers that call blk_integrity_register() and
use integrity infrastructure won't interfere with drivers that don't
but still want stable pages.

This reverts commit 0dba1314d4f81115dce711292ec7981d17231064. It causes
leaking of device numbers for SCSI when SCSI registers multiple gendisks
for one request_queue in succession. It can be easily reproduced using
Omar's script [1] on kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE.
Furthermore the protection provided by this commit is not needed anymore
as the problem it was fixing got also fixed by commit 165a5e22fafb

The __latent_entropy gcc attribute can be used only on functions and
variables. If it is on a function then the plugin will instrument it for
gathering control-flow entropy. If the attribute is on a variable then
the plugin will initialize it with random contents. The variable must
be an integer, an integer array type or a structure with integer fields.
These specific functions have been selected because they are init
functions (to help gather boot-time entropy), are called at unpredictable
times, or they have variable loops, each of which provide some level of
latent entropy.

NVDIMM devices, which can behave more like DRAM rather than block
devices, may develop bad cache lines, or 'poison'. A block device
exposed by the pmem driver can then consume poison via a read (or
write), and cause a machine check. On platforms without machine
check recovery features, this would mean a crash.
The block device maintaining a runtime list of all known sectors that
have poison can directly avoid this, and also provide a path forward
to enable proper handling/recovery for DAX faults on such a device.
Use the new badblock management interfaces to add a badblocks list to
gendisks.

Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and
attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active.
This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile
prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata
buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with
preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles.
Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph
suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several
changes:
- Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h.
- Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk.
- Removing the dynamic allocation code.
- Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down
the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted.
- Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable
pages bdi setting.
- The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or
not now key off of the bi->profile pointer.
- Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

This will allow other types of UUID to be stored here, aside from true
UUIDs. This also simplifies code that uses this field, since it's usually
constructed from a, used as a, or compared to other, strings.
Note: A simplistic approach here would be to set uuid_str[36]=0 whenever a
/PARTNROFF option was found to be present. However, this modifies the
input string, and causes subsequent calls to devt_from_partuuid() not to
see the /PARTNROFF option, which causes different results. In order to
avoid misleading future maintainers, this parameter is marked const.

Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that
allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently
in use.
This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because
One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of
nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This
can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence
counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock
as we call sector_in_part() very frequently.
Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence
counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write.
There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think
theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not
modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites
and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a
TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce
any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity().

Since 2.6.39 (1196f8b), when a driver returns -ENOMEDIUM for open(),
__blkdev_get() calls rescan_partitions() to remove
in-kernel partition structures and raise KOBJ_CHANGE uevent.
However it ends up calling driver's revalidate_disk without open
and could cause oops.
In the case of SCSI:
process A process B
----------------------------------------------
sys_open
__blkdev_get
sd_open
returns -ENOMEDIUM
scsi_remove_device
<scsi_device torn down>
rescan_partitions
sd_revalidate_disk
<oops>
Oopses are reported here:

and use it for -ENOMEDIUM case.

This reverts commit a72c5e5eb738033938ab30d6a634b74d1d060f10.
The commit introduced alias for block devices which is intended to be
used during logging although actual usage hasn't been committed yet.
This approach adds very limited benefit (raw log might be easier to
follow) which can be trivially implemented in userland but has a lot
of problems.
It is much worse than netif renames because it doesn't rename the
actual device but just adds conveninence name which isn't used
universally or enforced. Everything internal including device lookup
and sysfs still uses the internal name and nothing prevents two
devices from using conflicting alias - ie. sda can have sdb as its
alias.
This has been nacked by people working on device driver core, block
layer and kernel-userland interface and shouldn't have been
upstreamed. Revert it.

This patch allows the user to set an "alias" of the disk via sysfs interface.
This patch only adds a new attribute "alias" in gendisk structure.
To show the alias instead of the device name in kernel messages,
we need to revise printk messages and use alias_name() in them.
Example:
(current) printk("disk name is %s\n", disk->disk_name);
(new) printk("disk name is %s\n", alias_name(disk));
Users can use alphabets, numbers, '-' and '_' in "alias" attribute. A disk can
have an "alias" which length is up to 255 bytes. This attribute is write-once.

There are cases where suppressing partition scan is useful - e.g. for
lo devices and pseudo SATA devices which advertise to be a disk but
get upset on partition scan (some port multiplier control devices show
such behavior).
This patch adds GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN which suppresses partition scan
regardless of the number of possible partitions. disk_partitionable()
is renamed to disk_part_scan_enabled() as suppressing partition scan
doesn't imply the device can't be partitioned using
BLKPG_ADD/DEL_PARTITION calls from userland. show_partition() now
directly tests disk_max_parts() to maintain backward-compatibility.
-v2: Updated to make it clear that only partition scan is suppressed
not partitioning itself as suggested by Kay Sievers.

Currently, only open(2) is defined as the 'clearing' point. It has
two roles - first, it's an acknowledgement from userland indicating
that the event has been received and kernel can clear pending states
and proceed to generate more events. Secondly, it's passed on to
device drivers as a hint indicating that a synchronization point has
been reached and it might want to take a deeper look at the device.
The latter currently is only used by sr which uses two different
mechanisms - GET_EVENT_MEDIA_STATUS_NOTIFICATION and TEST_UNIT_READY
to discover events, where the former is lighter weight and safe to be
used repeatedly but may not provide full coverage. Among other
things, GET_EVENT can't detect media removal while TUR can.
This patch makes close(2) - blkdev_put() - indicate clearing hint for
MEDIA_CHANGE to drivers. disk_check_events() is renamed to
disk_flush_events() and updated to take @mask for events to flush
which is or'd to ev->clearing and will be passed to the driver on the
next ->check_events() invocation.
This change makes sr generate MEDIA_CHANGE when media is ejected from
userland - e.g. with eject(1).
Note: Given the current usage, it seems @clearing hint is needlessly
complex. disk_clear_events() can simply clear all events and the hint
can be boolean @flush.

It was not a good idea to start dereferencing disk->queue from
the fs sysfs strategy for displaying discard alignment. We ran
into first a NULL pointer deref, and after fixing that we sometimes
see unvalid disk->queue pointer values.
Since discard is the only one of the bunch actually looking into
the queue, just revert the change.

Disk event code automatically blocks events on excl write. This is
primarily to avoid issuing polling commands while burning is in
progress. This behavior doesn't fit other types of devices with
removeable media where polling commands don't have adverse side
effects and door locking usually doesn't exist.
This patch introduces new genhd flag which controls the auto-blocking
behavior and uses it to enable auto-blocking only on optical devices.

Its reason is the wrong way of accounting hd_struct->in_flight. When a bio is
merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE.
The detailed root cause is as follows.
Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2.
1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight
is 0 and sda2's one is 1.
| hd_struct->in_flight
---------------------------
sda1 | 0
sda2 | 1
---------------------------
2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on
step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed
from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's
hd_struct->in_flight are not changed.
| hd_struct->in_flight
---------------------------
sda1 | 0
sda2 | 1
---------------------------
3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case,
sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented.
| hd_struct->in_flight
---------------------------
sda1 | -1
sda2 | 1
---------------------------
The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup
inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment
and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This
also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on
the number of lookups we have to do.
Also add a refcount to struct hd_struct to keep the partition in
memory as long as users exist. We use kref_test_and_get() to ensure
we don't add a reference to a partition which is going away.

Currently, media presence polling for removeable block devices is done
from userland. There are several issues with this.
* Polling is done by periodically opening the device. For SCSI
devices, the command sequence generated by such action involves a
few different commands including TEST_UNIT_READY. This behavior,
while perfectly legal, is different from Windows which only issues
single command, GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION. Unfortunately, some
ATAPI devices lock up after being periodically queried such command
sequences.
* There is no reliable and unintrusive way for a userland program to
tell whether the target device is safe for media presence polling.
For example, polling for media presence during an on-going burning
session can make it fail. The polling program can avoid this by
opening the device with O_EXCL but then it risks making a valid
exclusive user of the device fail w/ -EBUSY.
* Userland polling is unnecessarily heavy and in-kernel implementation
is lighter and better coordinated (workqueue, timer slack).
This patch implements framework for in-kernel disk event handling,
which includes media presence polling.
* bdops->check_events() is added, which supercedes ->media_changed().
It should check whether there's any pending event and return if so.
Currently, two events are defined - DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE and
DISK_EVENT_EJECT_REQUEST. ->check_events() is guaranteed not to be
called parallelly.
* gendisk->events and ->async_events are added. These should be
initialized by block driver before passing the device to add_disk().
The former contains the mask of all supported events and the latter
the mask of all events which the device can report without polling.
/sys/block/*/events[_async] export these to userland.
* Kernel parameter block.events_dfl_poll_msecs controls the system
polling interval (default is 0 which means disable) and
/sys/block/*/events_poll_msecs control polling intervals for
individual devices (default is -1 meaning use system setting). Note
that if a device can report all supported events asynchronously and
its polling interval isn't explicitly set, the device won't be
polled regardless of the system polling interval.
* If a device is opened exclusively with write access, event checking
is automatically disabled until all write exclusive accesses are
released.
* There are event 'clearing' events. For example, both of currently
defined events are cleared after the device has been successfully
opened. This information is passed to ->check_events() callback
using @clearing argument as a hint.
* Event checking is always performed from system_nrt_wq and timer
slack is set to 25% for polling.
* Nothing changes for drivers which implement ->media_changed() but
not ->check_events(). Going forward, all drivers will be converted
to ->check_events() and ->media_change() will be dropped.
