2023-12-11s390/dasd: remove dasd_stats_generic_show()Nathan Chancellor1-6/+0
Patch series "s390: A couple of fixes for -Wmissing-prototypes". This series resolves a couple of -Wmissing-prototypes that I see in my builds of -next, even though the issues appear to be latent. This addresses issues which will be exposed by the later patch "Makefile.extrawarn: turn on missing-prototypes globally". This patch (of 2): With CONFIG_DASD_PROFILE=n, there is a warning that dasd_stats_generic_show() is missing a prototype: drivers/s390/block/dasd.c:1109:5: warning: no previous prototype for 'dasd_stats_generic_show' [-Wmissing-prototypes] 1109 | int dasd_stats_generic_show(struct seq_file *m, void *v) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This function has been unused since its introduction in commit 4fa52aa7a82f ("[S390] dasd: add enhanced DASD statistics interface"), remove it to clear up the warning.

2023-11-20s390/dasd: protect device queue against concurrent accessJan Höppner1-11/+13
In dasd_profile_start() the amount of requests on the device queue are counted. The access to the device queue is unprotected against concurrent access. With a lot of parallel I/O, especially with alias devices enabled, the device queue can change while dasd_profile_start() is accessing the queue. In the worst case this leads to a kernel panic due to incorrect pointer accesses. Fix this by taking the device lock before accessing the queue and counting the requests. Additionally the check for a valid profile data pointer can be done earlier to avoid unnecessary locking in a hot path.

2023-08-28Merge tag 'v6.6-vfs.super' of ↵Linus Torvalds1-5/+2
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs Pull superblock updates from Christian Brauner: "This contains the super rework that was ready for this cycle. The first part changes the order of how we open block devices and allocate superblocks, contains various cleanups, simplifications, and a new mechanism to wait on superblock state changes. This unblocks work to ultimately limit the number of writers to a block device. Jan has already scheduled follow-up work that will be ready for v6.7 and allows us to restrict the number of writers to a given block device. That series builds on this work right here. The second part contains filesystem freezing updates. Overview: The generic superblock changes are rougly organized as follows (ignoring additional minor cleanups): (1) Removal of the bd_super member from struct block_device. This was a very odd back pointer to struct super_block with unclear rules. For all relevant places we have other means to get the same information so just get rid of this. (2) Simplify rules for superblock cleanup. Roughly, everything that is allocated during fs_context initialization and that's stored in fs_context->s_fs_info needs to be cleaned up by the fs_context->free() implementation before the superblock allocation function has been called successfully. After sget_fc() returned fs_context->s_fs_info has been transferred to sb->s_fs_info at which point sb->kill_sb() if fully responsible for cleanup. Adhering to these rules means that cleanup of sb->s_fs_info in fill_super() is to be avoided as it's brittle and inconsistent. Cleanup shouldn't be duplicated between sb->put_super() as sb->put_super() is only called if sb->s_root has been set aka when the filesystem has been successfully born (SB_BORN). That complexity should be avoided. This also means that block devices are to be closed in sb->kill_sb() instead of sb->put_super(). More details in the lower section. (3) Make it possible to lookup or create a superblock before opening block devices There's a subtle dependency on (2) as some filesystems did rely on fill_super() to be called in order to correctly clean up sb->s_fs_info. All these filesystems have been fixed. (4) Switch most filesystem to follow the same logic as the generic mount code now does as outlined in (3). (5) Use the superblock as the holder of the block device. We can now easily go back from block device to owning superblock. (6) Export and extend the generic fs_holder_ops and use them as holder ops everywhere and remove the filesystem specific holder ops. (7) Call from the block layer up into the filesystem layer when the block device is removed, allowing to shut down the filesystem without risk of deadlocks. (8) Get rid of get_super(). We can now easily go back from the block device to owning superblock and can call up from the block layer into the filesystem layer when the device is removed. So no need to wade through all registered superblock to find the owning superblock anymore" Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20230824-prall-intakt-95dbffdee4a0@brauner/ * tag 'v6.6-vfs.super' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: (47 commits) super: use higher-level helper for {freeze,thaw} super: wait until we passed kill super super: wait for nascent superblocks super: make locking naming consistent super: use locking helpers fs: simplify invalidate_inodes fs: remove get_super block: call into the file system for ioctl BLKFLSBUF block: call into the file system for bdev_mark_dead block: consolidate __invalidate_device and fsync_bdev block: drop the "busy inodes on changed media" log message dasd: also call __invalidate_device when setting the device offline amiflop: don't call fsync_bdev in FDFMTBEG floppy: call disk_force_media_change when changing the format block: simplify the disk_force_media_change interface nbd: call blk_mark_disk_dead in nbd_clear_sock_ioctl xfs use fs_holder_ops for the log and RT devices xfs: drop s_umount over opening the log and RT devices ext4: use fs_holder_ops for the log device ext4: drop s_umount over opening the log device ...
2023-08-21block: consolidate __invalidate_device and fsync_bdevChristoph Hellwig1-4/+2
We currently have two interfaces that take a block_devices and the find a mounted file systems to flush or invaldidate data on it. Both are a bit problematic because they only work for the "main" block devices that is used as s_dev for the super_block, and because they don't call into the file system at all. Merge the two into a new bdev_mark_dead helper that does both the syncing and invalidation and which is properly documented. This is in preparation of merging the functionality into the ->mark_dead holder operation so that it will work on additional block devices used by a file systems and give us a single entry point for invalidation of dead devices or media. Note that a single standalone fsync_bdev call for an obscure ioctl remains for now, but that one will also be deal with in a bit.

2023-07-24s390/dasd: fix hanging device after request requeueStefan Haberland1-77/+48
The DASD device driver has a function to requeue requests to the blocklayer. This function is used in various cases when basic settings for the device have to be changed like High Performance Ficon related parameters or copy pair settings. The functions iterates over the device->ccw_queue and also removes the requests from the block->ccw_queue. In case the device is started on an alias device instead of the base device it might be removed from the block->ccw_queue without having it canceled properly before. This might lead to a hanging device since the request is no longer on a queue and can not be handled properly. Fix by iterating over the block->ccw_queue instead of the device->ccw_queue. This will take care of all blocklayer related requests and handle them on all associated DASD devices.

2023-05-22Merge patch series "Use block pr_ops in LIO"Martin K. Petersen1-1/+6
Mike Christie <michael.christie@oracle.com> says: The patches in this thread allow us to use the block pr_ops with LIO's target_core_iblock module to support cluster applications in VMs. They were built over Linus's tree. They also apply over linux-next and Martin's tree and Jens's trees. Currently, to use windows clustering or linux clustering (pacemaker + cluster labs scsi fence agents) in VMs with LIO and vhost-scsi, you have to use tcmu or pscsi or use a cluster aware FS/framework for the LIO pr file. Setting up a cluster FS/framework is pain and waste when your real backend device is already a distributed device, and pscsi and tcmu are nice for specific use cases, but iblock gives you the best performance and allows you to use stacked devices like dm-multipath. So these patches allow iblock to work like pscsi/tcmu where they can pass a PR command to the backend module. And then iblock will use the pr_ops to pass the PR command to the real devices similar to what we do for unmap today. The patches are separated in the following groups: Patch 1 - 2: - Add block layer callouts for reading reservations and rename reservation error code. Patch 3 - 5: - SCSI support for new callouts. Patch 6: - DM support for new callouts. Patch 7 - 13: - NVMe support for new callouts. Patch 14 - 18: - LIO support for new callouts. This patchset has been tested with the libiscsi PGR ops and with window's failover cluster verification test. Note that for scsi backend devices we need this patchset: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20230123221046.125483-1-michael.christie@oracle.com/T/#m4834a643ffb5bac2529d65d40906d3cfbdd9b1b7 to handle UAs. To reduce the size of this patchset that's being done separately to make reviewing easier. And to make merging easier this patchset and the one above do not have any conflicts so can be merged in different trees.

2022-05-06s390/dasd: Fix read inconsistency for ESE DASD devicesJan Höppner1-2/+1
Read requests that return with NRF error are partially completed in dasd_eckd_ese_read(). The function keeps track of the amount of processed bytes and the driver will eventually return this information back to the block layer for further processing via __dasd_cleanup_cqr() when the request is in the final stage of processing (from the driver's perspective). For this, blk_update_request() is used which requires the number of bytes to complete the request. As per documentation the nr_bytes parameter is described as follows: "number of bytes to complete for @req". This was mistakenly interpreted as "number of bytes _left_ for @req" leading to new requests with incorrect data length. The consequence are inconsistent and completely wrong read requests as data from random memory areas are read back. Fix this by correctly specifying the amount of bytes that should be used to complete the request.

2022-05-06s390/dasd: prevent double format of tracks for ESE devicesStefan Haberland1-0/+7
For ESE devices we get an error for write operations on an unformatted track. Afterwards the track will be formatted and the IO operation restarted. When using alias devices a track might be accessed by multiple requests simultaneously and there is a race window that a track gets formatted twice resulting in data loss. Prevent this by remembering the amount of formatted tracks when starting a request and comparing this number before actually formatting a track on the fly. If the number has changed there is a chance that the current track was finally formatted in between. As a result do not format the track and restart the current IO to check. The number of formatted tracks does not match the overall number of formatted tracks on the device and it might wrap around but this is no problem.

2022-05-06s390/dasd: fix data corruption for ESE devicesStefan Haberland1-1/+7
For ESE devices we get an error when accessing an unformatted track. The handling of this error will return zero data for read requests and format the track on demand before writing to it. To do this the code needs to distinguish between read and write requests. This is done with data from the blocklayer request. A pointer to the blocklayer request is stored in the CQR. If there is an error on the device an ERP request is built to do error recovery. While the ERP request is mostly a copy of the original CQR the pointer to the blocklayer request is not copied to not accidentally pass it back to the blocklayer without cleanup. This leads to the error that during ESE handling after an ERP request was built it is not possible to determine the IO direction. This leads to the formatting of a track for read requests which might in turn lead to data corruption.

__dasd_device_check_path_events() calls the discipline path event handler. This handler can leave the 'to be verified pathmask' populated for an additional verification. There is a race window where the worker has finished before dasd_path_clear_all_verify() is called which resets the tbvpm. Due to this there could be outstanding path verifications missed. Fix by clearing the pathmasks before calling the handler and add them again in case of an error.

When requeueing all requests on the device request queue to the blocklayer we might get to an ERP (error recovery) request that is a copy of an original CQR. Those requests do not have blocklayer request information or a pointer to the dasd_queue set. When trying to access those data it will lead to a null pointer dereference in dasd_requeue_all_requests(). Fix by checking if the request is an ERP request that can simply be ignored.

2020-03-12s390/dasd: fix data corruption for thin provisioned devicesStefan Haberland1-3/+24
Devices are formatted in multiple of tracks. For an Extent Space Efficient (ESE) volume we get errors when accessing unformatted tracks. In this case the driver either formats the track on the flight for write requests or returns zero data for read requests. In case a request spans multiple tracks, the indication of an unformatted track presented for the first track is incorrectly applied to all tracks covered by the request. As a result, tracks containing data will be handled as empty, resulting in zero data being returned on read, or overwriting existing data with zero on write. Fix by determining the track that gets the NRF error. For write requests only format the track that is surely not formatted. For Read requests all tracks before have returned valid data and should not be touched. All tracks after the unformatted track might be formatted or not. Those are returned to the blocklayer to build a new request. When using alias devices there is a chance that multiple write requests trigger a format of the same track which might lead to data loss. Ensure that a track is formatted only once by maintaining a list of currently processed tracks.

2019-07-11s390/dasd: Add dynamic formatting support for ESE volumesJan Höppner1-1/+112
A dynamic formatting is issued whenever a write request returns with either a No Record Found error (Command Mode), Incorrect Length error (Transport Mode), or File Protected error (Transport Mode). All three cases mean that the tracks in question haven't been initialized in a desired format yet. The part of the volume that was tried to be written on is then formatted and the original request is re-queued. As the formatting will happen during normal I/O operations, it is quite likely that there won't be any memory available to build the respective request. Another two pages of memory are allocated per volume specifically for the dynamic formatting. The dasd_eckd_build_format() function is extended to make sure that the original startdev is reused. Also, all formatting and format check functions use the new memory pool exclusively now to reduce complexity. Read operations will always return zero data when unformatted areas are read.
