* block: fix __blkdev_get() for removable devicesTejun Heo2008-11-061-12/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0762b8bde9729f10f8e6249809660ff2ec3ad735 moved disk_get_part() in front of recursive get on the whole disk, which caused removable devices to try disk_get_part() before rescanning after a new media is inserted, which might fail legit open attempts or give the old partition. This patch fixes the problem by moving disk_get_part() after __blkdev_get() on the whole disk. This problem was spotted by Borislav Petkov.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers; to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following: 1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset. 2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers are converted in this series. 3) kill the old (renamed) methods. Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver debugging if anything goes wrong. New methods: open(bdev, mode) release(disk, mode) ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */ compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */ Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* Call flush_disk() after detecting an online resize.Andrew Patterson2008-10-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We call flush_disk() to make sure the buffer cache for the disk is flushed after a disk resize. There are two resize cases, growing and shrinking. Given that users can shrink/then grow a disk before revalidate_disk() is called, we treat the grow case identically to shrinking. We need to flush the buffer cache after an online shrink because, as James Bottomley puts it, The two use cases for shrinking I can see are 1. planned: the fs is already shrunk to within the new boundaries and all data is relocated, so invalidate is fine (any dirty buffers that might exist in the shrunk region are there only because they were relocated but not yet written to their original location). 2. unplanned: In this case, the fs is probably toast, so whether we invalidate or not isn't going to make a whole lot of difference; it's still going to try to read or write from sectors beyond the new size and get I/O errors. Immediately invalidating shrunk disks will cause errors for outstanding I/Os for reads/write beyond the new end of the disk to be generated earlier then if we waited for the normal buffer cache operation. It also removes a potential security hole where we might keep old data around from beyond the end of the shrunk disk if the disk was not invalidated.

* Added flush_disk to factor out common buffer cache flushing code.Andrew Patterson2008-10-091-5/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | We need to be able to flush the buffer cache for for more than just when a disk is changed, so we factor out common cache flush code in check_disk_change() to an internal flush_disk() routine. This routine will then be used for both disk changes and disk resizes (in a later patch). Include the disk name in the text indicating that there are busy inodes on the device and increase the KERN severity of the message.

* Adjust block device size after an online resize of a disk.Andrew Patterson2008-10-091-0/+37
| | | | | | | | | | The revalidate_disk routine now checks if a disk has been resized by comparing the gendisk capacity to the bdev inode size. If they are different (usually because the disk has been resized underneath the kernel) the bdev inode size is adjusted to match the capacity.

We will use this wrapper in a later patch to adjust block device sizes after an online resize (a _post_ operation).

* block: introduce partition 0Tejun Heo2008-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | genhd and partition code handled disk and partitions separately. All information about the whole disk was in struct genhd and partitions in struct hd_struct. However, the whole disk (part0) and other partitions have a lot in common and the data structures end up having good number of common fields and thus separate code paths doing the same thing. Also, the partition array was indexed by partno - 1 which gets pretty confusing at times. This patch introduces partition 0 and makes the partition array indexed by partno. Following patches will unify the handling of disk and parts piece-by-piece. This patch also implements disk_partitionable() which tests whether a disk is partitionable. With coming dynamic partition array change, the most common usage of disk_max_parts() will be testing whether a disk is partitionable and the number of max partitions will become much less important.

* block: fix disk->part[] dereferencing raceTejun Heo2008-10-091-7/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | disk->part[] is protected by its matching bdev's lock. However, non-critical accesses like collecting stats and printing out sysfs and proc information used to be performed without any locking. As partitions can come and go dynamically, partitions can go away underneath those non-critical accesses. As some of those accesses are writes, this theoretically can lead to silent corruption. This patch fixes the race by using RCU for the partition array and dev reference counter to hold partitions. * Rename disk->part[] to disk->__part[] to make sure no one outside genhd layer proper accesses it directly. * Use RCU for disk->__part[] dereferencing. * Implement disk_{get|put}_part() which can be used to get and put partitions from gendisk respectively. * Iterators are implemented to help iterate through all partitions safely. * Functions which require RCU readlock are marked with _rcu suffix. * Use disk_put_part() in __blkdev_put() instead of directly putting the contained kobject.

* block: don't depend on consecutive minor spaceTejun Heo2008-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor. Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary. However, convert them for consistency. * Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing genhd->minors. * Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor space. * Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In hd_struct, @partno is used to denote partition number and a number of other places use @part to denote hd_struct. Functions use @part and @index instead. This causes confusion and makes it difficult to use consistent variable names for hd_struct. Always use @partno if a variable represents partition number.

* slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flagChristoph Lameter2007-05-071-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL. It is only supported by SLAB. I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed to verify that the state is the constructor state again? The callback is performed before each freeing of an object. I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually before the free. That also places the check near the code object manipulation of the object. Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was compiled with SLAB debugging on. If there would be code in a constructor handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code. But there is no such code in the kernel. I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the same effect (i.e. add debug code before kfree). There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be clear in fs inode caches. Remove the pointless checks (they would even be pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors. This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support. Remove the check for unimplemented flags from SLUB.

* mm: optimize kill_bdev()Peter Zijlstra2007-05-071-2/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove duplicate work in kill_bdev(). It currently invalidates and then truncates the bdev's mapping. invalidate_mapping_pages() will opportunistically remove pages from the mapping. And truncate_inode_pages() will forcefully remove all pages. The only thing truncate doesn't do is flush the bh lrus. So do that explicitly. This avoids (very unlikely) but possible invalid lookup results if the same bdev is quickly re-issued. It also will prevent extreme kernel latencies which are observed when blockdevs which have a large amount of pagecache are unmounted, by avoiding invalidate_mapping_pages() on that path. invalidate_mapping_pages() has no cond_resched (it can be called under spinlock), whereas truncate_inode_pages() has one.
