Herbert Xu 4b2f0260c7 [PATCH] nbd: fix TX/RX race condition
Janos Haar of First NetCenter Bt.  reported numerous crashes involving the
NBD driver.  With his help, this was tracked down to bogus bio vectors
which in turn was the result of a race condition between the
receive/transmit routines in the NBD driver.

The bug manifests itself like this:

CPU0				CPU1
do_nbd_request
	add req to queuelist
	nbd_send_request
		send req head
		for each bio
			kmap
			send
				nbd_read_stat
					nbd_find_request
					nbd_end_request
			kunmap

When CPU1 finishes nbd_end_request, the request and all its associated
bio's are freed.  So when CPU0 calls kunmap whose argument is derived from
the last bio, it may crash.

Under normal circumstances, the race occurs only on the last bio.  However,
if an error is encountered on the remote NBD server (such as an incorrect
magic number in the request), or if there were a bug in the server, it is
possible for the nbd_end_request to occur any time after the request's
addition to the queuelist.

The following patch fixes this problem by making sure that requests are not
added to the queuelist until after they have been completed transmission.

In order for the receiving side to be ready for responses involving
requests still being transmitted, the patch introduces the concept of the
active request.

When a response matches the current active request, its processing is
delayed until after the tranmission has come to a stop.

This has been tested by Janos and it has been successful in curing this
race condition.

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

  Here is an updated patch which removes the active_req wait in
  nbd_clear_queue and the associated memory barrier.

  I've also clarified this in the comment.

Tejun Heo 8ffdc6550c [BLOCK] add @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn()
add @uptodate argument to end_that_request_last() and @error
to rq_end_io_fn().  there's no generic way to pass error code
to request completion function, making generic error handling
of non-fs request difficult (rq->errors is driver-specific and
each driver uses it differently).  this patch adds @uptodate
to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn().

for fs requests, this doesn't really matter, so just using the
same uptodate argument used in the last call to
end_that_request_first() should suffice.  imho, this can also
help the generic command-carrying request jens is working on.

Zach Brown 994fc28c7b [PATCH] add AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, prepend AOP_ to WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE
readpage(), prepare_write(), and commit_write() callers are updated to
understand the special return code AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE in the style of
writepage() and WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE.  AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE tells the caller that
the callee has unlocked the page and that the operation should be tried again
with a new page.  OCFS2 uses this to detect and work around a lock inversion in
its aop methods.  There should be no change in behaviour for methods that don't
return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE.

WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE is also prepended with AOP_ for consistency and they are
made enums so that kerneldoc can be used to document their semantics.

Jon Masters 88baf3e85a [PATCH] fix floppy.c to store correct ro/rw status in underlying gendisk
Evgeny Stambulchik found that doing the following always worked:

# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/
mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
# mount -o remount,rw /mnt/floppy
# echo $?
0

This is the case because the block device /dev/fd0 is writeable but the
floppy disk is marked protected.  A fix is to simply have floppy_open mark
the underlying gendisk policy according to reality (since the VFS doesn't
provide a way for do_remount_sb to inquire as to the current device
status).

Nick Piggin f5b3db0017 [PATCH] as: cooperating processes
Introduce the notion of cooperating processes (those that submit requests
close to one another), and use these statistics to make better choices about
whether or not to do anticipatory waiting.

Help and analysis from Seetharami Seelam <seelam@cs.utep.edu>

Performance testing from Seelam:

I set up my system and executed a couple of tests that I used for OLS.  I
tested with AS, cooperative process patch merged in -mm tree (which I called
Nick, below) and the cooperative patch with modifications to as_update_iohist
(which I called Seelam).

I used a dual-processor (2.28GHz Pentium 4 Xeon) system, with 1 GB main memory
and 1 MB L2 cache, running Linux 2.6.9.  Only a single processor is used for
the experiments.  I used 7.2K RPM Maxtor 10GB drive configured with ext2 file
system.

Experiment 1 (ex1) consists of reading  one Linux source trees using

  find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null.

Experiment 2 (ex2) consists of reading two disjoint Linux source trees
using

  find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null.

Experiment 3 (ex3) consists of streaming read of a 2GB file in the background
and 1 instance of the chunk reads in Experiment 1.

Timings for reading the Linux source are shown below:

             AS                     Nick          Seelam
ex1:      0m25.813s               0m27.859s      0m27.640s
ex2:      1m11.468s               1m13.918s      1m5.869s
ex3:      81m44.352s             10m38.572s      6m47.994s

The difference between the numbers in Experiment 3 must be due to the code in
as_update_iohist.  (akpm: that's not part of this patch.  So this patch is
"Nick").

Tejun Heo ca23509fba [PATCH] blk: fix dangling pointer access in __elv_add_request
cfq's add_req_fn callback may invoke q->request_fn directly and
depending on low-level driver used and timing, a queued request may be
finished & deallocated before add_req_fn callback returns.  So,
__elv_add_request must not access rq after it's passed to add_req_fn
callback.

This patch moves rq_mergeable test above add_req_fn().  This may
result in q->last_merge pointing to REQ_NOMERGE request if add_req_fn
callback sets it but as RQ_NOMERGE is checked again when blk layer
actually tries to merge requests, this does not cause any problem.

Jens Axboe 581c1b1439 [PATCH] noop-iosched: avoid corrupted request merging
Tejun Heo notes:

   "I'm currently debugging this.  The problem is that we are using the
    generic dispatch queue directly in the noop sched and merging is NOT
    allowed on dispatch queues but generic handling of last_merge tries
    to merge requests.  I'm still trying to verify this, so I'll be back
    with results soon."

In the meantime, disable merging for noop by setting REQ_NOMERGE in
elevator_noop_add_request().

Eventually, we should add a noop_list and do the dispatching like in the
other io schedulers.  Merging is still beneficial for noop (and it has
always done it).

Tim Schmielau 4e57b68178 [PATCH] fix missing includes
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch.  This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other.  So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it.  My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.
