Mike Snitzer fa70d2e2c4 block: allow gendisk's request_queue registration to be deferred
Since I can remember DM has forced the block layer to allow the
allocation and initialization of the request_queue to be distinct
operations.  Reason for this is block/genhd.c:add_disk() has requires
that the request_queue (and associated bdi) be tied to the gendisk
before add_disk() is called -- because add_disk() also deals with
exposing the request_queue via blk_register_queue().

DM's dynamic creation of arbitrary device types (and associated
request_queue types) requires the DM device's gendisk be available so
that DM table loads can establish a master/slave relationship with
subordinate devices that are referenced by loaded DM tables -- using
bd_link_disk_holder().  But until these DM tables, and their associated
subordinate devices, are known DM cannot know what type of request_queue
it needs -- nor what its queue_limits should be.

This chicken and egg scenario has created all manner of problems for DM
and, at times, the block layer.

Summary of changes:

- Add device_add_disk_no_queue_reg() and add_disk_no_queue_reg() variant
  that drivers may use to add a disk without also calling
  blk_register_queue().  Driver must call blk_register_queue() once its
  request_queue is fully initialized.

- Return early from blk_unregister_queue() if QUEUE_FLAG_REGISTERED
  is not set.  It won't be set if driver used add_disk_no_queue_reg()
  but driver encounters an error and must del_gendisk() before calling
  blk_register_queue().

- Export blk_register_queue().

These changes allow DM to use add_disk_no_queue_reg() to anchor its
gendisk as the "master" for master/slave relationships DM must establish
with subordinate devices referenced in DM tables that get loaded.  Once
all "slave" devices for a DM device are known its request_queue can be
properly initialized and then advertised via sysfs -- important
improvement being that no request_queue resource initialization
performed by blk_register_queue() is missed for DM devices anymore.

Mike Snitzer bc8d062c36 block: only bdi_unregister() in del_gendisk() if !GENHD_FL_HIDDEN
device_add_disk() will only call bdi_register_owner() if
!GENHD_FL_HIDDEN, so it follows that del_gendisk() should only call
bdi_unregister() if !GENHD_FL_HIDDEN.

Found with code inspection.  bdi_unregister() won't do any harm if
bdi_register_owner() wasn't used but best to avoid the unnecessary
call to bdi_unregister().

Linus Torvalds e2c5923c34 Merge branch 'for-4.15/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
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 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().

Logan Gunthorpe 133d55cdb2 block: order /proc/devices by major number
Presently, the order of the block devices listed in /proc/devices is not
entirely sequential. If a block device has a major number greater than
BLKDEV_MAJOR_HASH_SIZE (255), it will be ordered as if its major were
module 255. For example, 511 appears after 1.

This patch cleans that up and prints each major number in the correct
order, regardless of where they are stored in the hash table.

In order to do this, we introduce BLKDEV_MAJOR_MAX as an artificial
limit (chosen to be 512). It will then print all devices in major
order number from 0 to the maximum.

Linus Torvalds c58d4055c0 A reasonably busy cycle for documentation this time around. There is a new
guide for user-space API documents, rather sparsely populated at the
 moment, but it's a start.  Markus improved the infrastructure for
 converting diagrams.  Mauro has converted much of the USB documentation
 over to RST.  Plus the usual set of fixes, improvements, and tweaks.
 
 There's a bit more than the usual amount of reaching out of Documentation/
 to fix comments elsewhere in the tree; I have acks for those where I could
 get them.

  new guide for user-space API documents, rather sparsely populated at
  the moment, but it's a start. Markus improved the infrastructure for
  converting diagrams. Mauro has converted much of the USB documentation
  over to RST. Plus the usual set of fixes, improvements, and tweaks.

  There's a bit more than the usual amount of reaching out of
  Documentation/ to fix comments elsewhere in the tree; I have acks for

Dan Williams 9438b3e080 block: hide badblocks attribute by default
Commit 99e6608c9e "block: Add badblock management for gendisks"
allowed for drivers like pmem and software-raid to advertise a list of
bad media areas. However, it inadvertently added a 'badblocks' to all
block devices. Lets clean this up by having the 'badblocks' attribute
not be visible when the driver has not populated a 'struct badblocks'
instance in the gendisk.

As you can see RAX value is already poisoned showing that gendisk we got
is already freed. The problem is that get_gendisk() looks up device
number in ext_devt_idr and then does get_disk() which does kobject_get()
on the disks kobject. However the disk gets removed from ext_devt_idr
only in disk_release() (through blk_free_devt()) at which moment it has
already 0 refcount and is already on its way to be freed. Indeed we've
got a warning from kobject_get() about 0 refcount shortly before the
oops.

We fix the problem by using kobject_get_unless_zero() in get_disk() so
that get_disk() cannot get reference on a disk that is already being
freed.

Jan Kara c01228db4b Revert "scsi, block: fix duplicate bdi name registration crashes"
This reverts commit 0dba1314d4. 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 165a5e22fa
"block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()".

Commit 165a5e22fa "block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()"
added disk->queue dereference to del_gendisk(). Although del_gendisk()
is not supposed to be called without disk->queue valid and
blk_unregister_queue() warns in that case, this change will make it oops
instead. Return to the old more robust behavior of just warning when
del_gendisk() gets called for gendisk with disk->queue being NULL.

Jan Kara 165a5e22fa block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()
Commit 6cd18e711d "block: destroy bdi before blockdev is
unregistered." moved bdi unregistration (at that time through
bdi_destroy()) from blk_release_queue() to blk_cleanup_queue() because
it needs to happen before blk_unregister_region() call in del_gendisk()
for MD. SCSI though will free up the device number from sd_remove()
called through a maze of callbacks from device_del() in
__scsi_remove_device() before blk_cleanup_queue() and thus similar races
as described in 6cd18e711d can happen for SCSI as well as reported by
Omar [1].

Moving bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk() works for MD and fixes the
problem for SCSI since del_gendisk() gets called from sd_remove() before
freeing the device number.

This also makes device_add_disk() (calling bdi_register_owner()) more
symmetric with del_gendisk().

Iteration over partitions in del_gendisk() omits part0. Add
bdev_unhash_inode() call for the whole device. Otherwise if the device
number gets reused, bdev inode will be still associated with the old

Move bdev_unhash_inode() after invalidate_partition() as
invalidate_partition() looks up bdev and it cannot find the right bdev
inode after bdev_unhash_inode() is called. Thus invalidate_partition()
would not invalidate page cache of the previously used bdev. Also use
part_devt() when calling bdev_unhash_inode() instead of manually
creating the device number.

This is a brute-force fix to pass the devt release information from

device_add_disk(), and unregister the bdi, blk_cleanup_queue().

Thanks to Omar for the quick reproducer script [2]. This patch survives
where an unmodified kernel fails in a few seconds.

Jan Kara f44f1ab5a2 block: Unhash block device inodes on gendisk destruction
Currently, block device inodes stay around after corresponding gendisk
hash died until memory reclaim finds them and frees them. Since we will
make block device inode pin the bdi, we want to free the block device
inode as soon as the device goes away so that bdi does not stay around
unnecessarily. Furthermore we need to avoid issues when new device with
the same major,minor pair gets created since reusing the bdi structure
would be rather difficult in this case.

Unhashing block device inode on gendisk destruction nicely deals with
these problems. Once last block device inode reference is dropped (which
may be directly in del_gendisk()), the inode gets evicted. Furthermore if
the major,minor pair gets reallocated, we are guaranteed to get new
block device inode even if old block device inode is not yet evicted and
thus we avoid issues with possible reuse of bdi.

Dan Williams df08c32ce3 block: fix bdi vs gendisk lifetime mismatch
The name for a bdi of a gendisk is derived from the gendisk's devt.
However, since the gendisk is destroyed before the bdi it leaves a
window where a new gendisk could dynamically reuse the same devt while a
bdi with the same name is still live.  Arrange for the bdi to hold a
reference against its "owner" disk device while it is registered.
Otherwise we can hit sysfs duplicate name collisions like the following:

This problem can occur in the following situation:

open()
 - pread()
    - .seq_start()
       - iter = kmalloc() // succeeds
       - seqf->private = iter
    - .seq_stop()
       - kfree(seqf->private)
 - pread()
    - .seq_start()
       - iter = kmalloc() // fails
    - .seq_stop()
       - class_dev_iter_exit(seqf->private) // boom! old pointer

As the comment in disk_seqf_stop() says, stop is called even if start
failed, so we need to reinitialise the private pointer to NULL when seq
iteration stops.

An alternative would be to set the private pointer to NULL when the
kmalloc() in disk_seqf_start() fails.

Vishal Verma 99e6608c9e block: Add badblock management for gendisks
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.

Dan Williams ac34f15e0c block: fix del_gendisk() vs blkdev_ioctl crash
When tearing down a block device early in its lifetime, userspace may
still be performing discovery actions like blkdev_ioctl() to re-read
partitions.

The nvdimm_revalidate_disk() implementation depends on
disk->driverfs_dev to be valid at entry.  However, it is set to NULL in
del_gendisk() and fatally this is happening *before* the disk device is
deleted from userspace view.

There's no reason for del_gendisk() to clear ->driverfs_dev.  That
device is the parent of the disk.  It is guaranteed to not be freed
until the disk, as a child, drops its ->parent reference.

We could also fix this issue locally in nvdimm_revalidate_disk() by
using disk_to_dev(disk)->parent, but lets fix it globally since
->driverfs_dev follows the lifetime of the parent.  Longer term we
should probably just add a @parent parameter to add_disk(), and stop
carrying this pointer in the gendisk.

Martin K. Petersen 25520d55cd block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk
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).

Tejun Heo 66114cad64 writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h
With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.

This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it.  c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly.  This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
and cgroup.

NeilBrown aad653a0bc block: discard bdi_unregister() in favour of bdi_destroy()
bdi_unregister() now contains very little functionality.

It contains a "WARN_ON" if bdi->dev is NULL.  This warning is of no
real consequence as bdi->dev isn't needed by anything else in the function,
and it triggers if
   blk_cleanup_queue() -> bdi_destroy()
is called before bdi_unregister, which happens since
  Commit: 6cd18e711d ("block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.")

So this isn't wanted.

It also calls bdi_set_min_ratio().  This needs to be called after
writes through the bdi have all been flushed, and before the bdi is destroyed.
Calling it early is better than calling it late as it frees up a global
resource.

Calling it immediately after bdi_wb_shutdown() in bdi_destroy()
perfectly fits these requirements.

So bdi_unregister() can be discarded with the important content moved to
bdi_destroy(), as can the
  writeback_bdi_unregister
event which is already not used.

Jens Axboe 5fabcb4c33 genhd: check for int overflow in disk_expand_part_tbl()
We can get here from blkdev_ioctl() -> blkpg_ioctl() -> add_partition()
with a user passed in partno value. If we pass in 0x7fffffff, the
new target in disk_expand_part_tbl() overflows the 'int' and we
access beyond the end of ptbl->part[] and even write to it when we
do the rcu_assign_pointer() to assign the new partition.

Jens Axboe 46f341ffcf genhd: fix leftover might_sleep() in blk_free_devt()
Commit 2da78092 changed the locking from a mutex to a spinlock,
so we now longer sleep in this context. But there was a leftover
might_sleep() in there, which now triggers since we do the final
free from an RCU callback. Get rid of it.

Viresh Kumar 695588f945 block: queue work on power efficient wq
Block layer uses workqueues for multiple purposes. There is no real dependency
of scheduling these on the cpu which scheduled them.

On a idle system, it is observed that and idle cpu wakes up many times just to
service this work. It would be better if we can schedule it on a cpu which the
scheduler believes to be the most appropriate one.

This patch replaces normal workqueues with power efficient versions.

Some drivers want to tell userspace what uid and gid should be used for
their device nodes, so allow that information to percolate through the
driver core to userspace in order to make this happen.  This means that
some systems (i.e.  Android and friends) will not need to even run a
udev-like daemon for their device node manager and can just rely in
devtmpfs fully, reducing their footprint even more.

Derek Basehore 12c2bdb232 block: prevent race/cleanup
Remove a race condition which causes a warning in disk_clear_events.  This
is a race between disk_clear_events() and disk_flush_events().
ev->clearing will be altered by disk_flush_events() even though we are
blocking event checking through disk_flush_events().  If this happens
after ev->clearing was cleared for disk_clear_events(), this can cause the
WARN_ON_ONCE() in that function to be triggered.

This change also has disk_clear_events() not go through a workqueue.
Since we have to wait for the work to complete, we should just call the
function directly.  Also, since this work cannot be put on a freezable
workqueue, it will have to contend with increased demand, so calling the
function directly avoids this.

Derek Basehore aea24a8bbc block: remove deadlock in disk_clear_events
In disk_clear_events, do not put work on system_nrt_freezable_wq.
Instead, put it on system_nrt_wq.

There is a race between probing a usb and suspending the device.  Since
probing a usb calls disk_clear_events, which puts work on a frozen
workqueue, probing cannot finish after the workqueue is frozen.  However,
suspending cannot finish until the usb probe is finished, so we get a
deadlock, causing the system to reboot.

The way to reproduce this bug is to wake up from suspend with a usb
storage device plugged in, or plugging in a usb storage device right
before suspend.  The window of time is on the order of time it takes to
probe the usb device.  As long as the workqueues are frozen before the
call to add_disk within sd_probe_async finishes, there will be a deadlock
(which calls blkdev_get, sd_open, check_disk_change, then
disk_clear_events).  This is not difficult to reproduce after figuring out
the timings.

Stephen Warren 1ad7e89940 block: store partition_meta_info.uuid as a string
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.

Pull workqueue changes from Tejun Heo:
 "This is workqueue updates for v3.7-rc1.  A lot of activities this
  round including considerable API and behavior cleanups.

   * delayed_work combines a timer and a work item.  The handling of the
     timer part has always been a bit clunky leading to confusing
     cancelation API with weird corner-case behaviors.  delayed_work is
     updated to use new IRQ safe timer and cancelation now works as
     expected.

   * Another deficiency of delayed_work was lack of the counterpart of
     mod_timer() which led to cancel+queue combinations or open-coded
     timer+work usages.  mod_delayed_work[_on]() are added.

     These two delayed_work changes make delayed_work provide interface
     and behave like timer which is executed with process context.

   * A work item could be executed concurrently on multiple CPUs, which
     is rather unintuitive and made flush_work() behavior confusing and
     half-broken under certain circumstances.  This problem doesn't
     exist for non-reentrant workqueues.  While non-reentrancy check
     isn't free, the overhead is incurred only when a work item bounces
     across different CPUs and even in simulated pathological scenario
     the overhead isn't too high.

     All workqueues are made non-reentrant.  This removes the
     distinction between flush_[delayed_]work() and
     flush_[delayed_]_work_sync().  The former is now as strong as the
     latter and the specified work item is guaranteed to have finished
     execution of any previous queueing on return.

   * In addition to the various bug fixes, Lai redid and simplified CPU
     hotplug handling significantly.

   * Joonsoo introduced system_highpri_wq and used it during CPU
     hotplug.

  There are two merge commits - one to pull in IRQ safe timer from
  tip/timers/core and the other to pull in CPU hotplug fixes from
  wq/for-3.6-fixes as Lai's hotplug restructuring depended on them."

Fixed a number of trivial conflicts, but the more interesting conflicts
were silent ones where the deprecated interfaces had been used by new
code in the merge window, and thus didn't cause any real data conflicts.

Tejun pointed out a few of them, I fixed a couple more.

Tejun Heo 41f63c5359 workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of cancel + queue
Convert delayed_work users doing cancel_delayed_work() followed by
queue_delayed_work() to mod_delayed_work().

Most conversions are straight-forward.  Ones worth mentioning are,

* drivers/edac/edac_mc.c: edac_mc_workq_setup() converted to always
  use mod_delayed_work() and cancel loop in
  edac_mc_reset_delay_period() is dropped.

* drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.c: No need to remember whether
  watchdog is active or not.  @fan_watchdog_active and related code
  dropped.

* drivers/power/charger-manager.c: Seemingly a lot of
  delayed_work_pending() abuse going on here.
  [delayed_]work_pending() are unsynchronized and racy when used like
  this.  I converted one instance in fullbatt_handler().  Please
  conver the rest so that it invokes workqueue APIs for the intended
  target state rather than trying to game work item pending state
  transitions.  e.g. if timer should be modified - call
  mod_delayed_work(), canceled - call cancel_delayed_work[_sync]().

* drivers/thermal/thermal_sys.c: thermal_zone_device_set_polling()
  simplified.  Note that round_jiffies() calls in this function are
  meaningless.  round_jiffies() work on absolute jiffies not delta
  delay used by delayed_work.

v2: Tomi pointed out that __cancel_delayed_work() users can't be
    safely converted to mod_delayed_work().  They could be calling it
    from irq context and if that happens while delayed_work_timer_fn()
    is running, it could deadlock.  __cancel_delayed_work() users are
    dropped.

Vivek Goyal c83f6bf98d block: add partition resize function to blkpg ioctl
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().

v2: Add CONFIG_LBDAF test to UP preempt case as suggested by Phillip.

6d1d8050b4 "block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct"

leading to the following panic with stackprotector enabled.

Alan Stern 62d3c5439c Block: use a freezable workqueue for disk-event polling
This patch (as1519) fixes a bug in the block layer's disk-events
polling.  The polling is done by a work routine queued on the
system_nrt_wq workqueue.  Since that workqueue isn't freezable, the
polling continues even in the middle of a system sleep transition.

Obviously, polling a suspended drive for media changes and such isn't
a good thing to do; in the case of USB mass-storage devices it can
lead to real problems requiring device resets and even re-enumeration.

The patch fixes things by creating a new system-wide, non-reentrant,
freezable workqueue and using it for disk-events polling.

Stanislaw Gruszka 9f53d2fe81 block: fix __blkdev_get and add_disk race condition
The following situation might occur:

__blkdev_get:			add_disk:

				register_disk()
get_gendisk()

disk_block_events()
	disk->ev == NULL

				disk_add_events()

__disk_unblock_events()
	disk->ev != NULL
	--ev->block

Then we unblock events, when they are suppose to be blocked. This can
trigger events related block/genhd.c warnings, but also can crash in
sd_check_events() or other places.

I'm able to reproduce crashes with the following scripts (with
connected usb dongle as sdb disk).

<snip>
DEV=/dev/sdb
ENABLE=/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-2/bConfigurationValue

function stop_me()
{
	for i in `jobs -p` ; do kill $i 2> /dev/null ; done
	exit
}

trap stop_me SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM

for ((i = 0; i < 10; i++)) ; do
	while true; do fdisk -l $DEV  2>&1 > /dev/null ; done &
done

while true ; do
echo 1 > $ENABLE
sleep 1
echo 0 > $ENABLE
done
</snip>

I use the script to verify patch fixing oops in sd_revalidate_disk
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=132935572512352&w=2
Without Jun'ichi Nomura patch titled "Fix NULL pointer dereference in
sd_revalidate_disk" or this one, script easily crash kernel within
a few seconds. With both patches applied I do not observe crash.
Unfortunately after some time (dozen of minutes), script will hung in:

Anyway I think this patch is some step forward.

As drawback, I do not teardown on sysfs file create error, because I do
not know how to nullify disk->ev (since it can be used). However add_disk
error handling practically does not exist too, and things will work
without this sysfs file, except events will not be exported to user
space.

Tejun Heo d0985394e7 block: Revert "[SCSI] genhd: add a new attribute "alias" in gendisk"
This reverts commit a72c5e5eb7.

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 is because bdev holds on to disk but disk doesn't pin the
associated queue.  If a SCSI device is removed while the device is
still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release.
When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already
gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up
dereferencing already freed bdi.

Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated
queue is very unusual and error-prone.

Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and
put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are
put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are
complete.

Nao Nishijima a72c5e5eb7 [SCSI] genhd: add a new attribute "alias" in gendisk
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

Herbert Poetzl f95fe9cfb4 block/genhd.c: remove useless cast in diskstats_show()
Remove the (unsigned long long) cast in diskstats_show() and adjusts the
seq_printf() format string to 'unsigned long'

diskstats_show() uses part_stat_read() to get the stats, which either
accesses the specified field in the struct disk_stats directly (non SMP)
or sums up the per CPU values in a variable of the same type as the field,
so in any case the result will have the same type and range as the
specified field which for all disk_stats entries is unsigned long

Also, for unsigned long ranges the output of %lu should be identical to
the one of %llu, so no change in the actual proc entry contents.

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.

Tejun Heo fdd514e16b block: make disk_block_events() properly wait for work cancellation
disk_block_events() should guarantee that the event work is not in
flight on return and once blocked it shouldn't issue further
cancellations.

Because there was no synchronization between the first blocker doing
cancel_delayed_work_sync() and the following blockers, the following
blockers could finish before cancellation was complete, which broke
both guarantees - event work could be in flight and cancellation could
happen after return.

This bug triggered WARN_ON_ONCE() in disk_clear_events() reported in
bug#34662.

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662

Fix it by adding an outer mutex which protects both block count
manipulation and work cancellation.

-v2: Use outer mutex instead of bit waitqueue per Linus.

Tejun Heo c3af54afba block: remove non-syncing __disk_block_events() and fold it into disk_block_events()
After the previous update to disk_check_events(), nobody is using
non-syncing __disk_block_events().  Remove @sync and, as this makes
__disk_block_events() virtually identical to disk_block_events(),
remove the underscore prefixed version.

Tejun Heo a9dce2a3b4 block: don't use non-syncing event blocking in disk_check_events()
This patch is part of fix for triggering of WARN_ON_ONCE() in
disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662.

  https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662

disk_clear_events() blocks events, schedules and flushes the event
work.  It expects the work to have started execution on schedule and
finished on return from flush.  WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers if the event
work hasn't executed as expected.  This problem happens because
__disk_block_events() fails to guarantee that the event work item is
not in flight on return from the function in race-free manner.  The
problem is two-fold and this patch addresses one of them.

When __disk_block_events() is called with @sync == %false, it bumps
event block count, calls cancel_delayed_work() and return.  This makes
it impossible to guarantee that event polling is not in flight on
return from syncing __disk_block_events() - if the first blocker was
non-syncing, polling could still be in progress and later syncing ones
would assume that the first blocker already canceled it.

Making __disk_block_events() cancel_sync regardless of block count
isn't feasible either as it may race with forced event checking in
disk_clear_events().

As disk_check_events() is the only user of non-syncing
__disk_block_events(), updating it to directly cancel and schedule
event work is the easiest way to solve the issue.

Note that there's another bug in __disk_block_events() and this patch
doesn't fix the issue completely.  Later patch will fix the other bug.

Tejun Heo 75e3f3ee3c block: always allocate genhd->ev if check_events is implemented
9fd097b149 (block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for legacy/fringe
drivers) removed DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from legacy/fringe block
drivers which have inadequate ->check_events().  Combined with earlier
change 7c88a168da (block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to
userland), this enables using ->check_events() for internal processing
while avoiding enabling in-kernel block event polling which can lead
to infinite event loop.

Unfortunately, this made many drivers including floppy without any bit
set in disk->events and ->async_events in which case disk_add_events()
simply skipped allocation of disk->ev, which disables whole event
handling.  As ->check_events() is still used during open processing
for revalidation, this can lead to open failure.

This patch always allocates disk->ev if ->check_events is implemented.
In the long term, it would make sense to simply include the event
structure inline into genhd as it's now used by virtually all block
devices.
