2011-07-31loop: fix deadlock when sysfs and LOOP_CLR_FD race against each otherKay Sievers
LOOP_CLR_FD takes lo->lo_ctl_mutex and tries to remove the loop sysfs files. Sysfs calls show() and waits for lo->lo_ctl_mutex. LOOP_CLR_FD waits for show() to finish to remove the sysfs file. cat /sys/class/block/loop0/loop/backing_file mutex_lock_nested+0x176/0x350 ? loop_attr_do_show_backing_file+0x2f/0xd0 [loop] ? loop_attr_do_show_backing_file+0x2f/0xd0 [loop] loop_attr_do_show_backing_file+0x2f/0xd0 [loop] dev_attr_show+0x1b/0x60 ? sysfs_read_file+0x86/0x1a0 ? __get_free_pages+0x12/0x50 sysfs_read_file+0xaf/0x1a0 ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD): wait_for_common+0x12c/0x180 ? try_to_wake_up+0x2a0/0x2a0 wait_for_completion+0x18/0x20 sysfs_deactivate+0x178/0x180 ? sysfs_addrm_finish+0x43/0x70 ? sysfs_addrm_start+0x1d/0x20 sysfs_addrm_finish+0x43/0x70 sysfs_hash_and_remove+0x85/0xa0 sysfs_remove_group+0x59/0x100 loop_clr_fd+0x1dc/0x3f0 [loop] lo_ioctl+0x223/0x7a0 [loop] Instead of taking the lo_ctl_mutex from sysfs code, take the inner lo->lo_lock, to protect the access to the backing_file data.

devices Instead of unconditionally creating a fixed number of dead loop devices which need to be investigated by storage handling services, even when they are never used, we allow distros start with 0 loop devices and have losetup(8) and similar switch to the dynamic /dev/loop-control interface instead of searching /dev/loop%i for free devices.

2011-07-31loop: add management interface for on-demand device allocationKay Sievers
Loop devices today have a fixed pre-allocated number of usually 8. The number can only be changed at module init time. To find a free device to use, /dev/loop%i needs to be scanned, and all devices need to be opened until a free one is possibly found. This adds a new /dev/loop-control device node, that allows to dynamically find or allocate a free device, and to add and remove loop devices from the running system: LOOP_CTL_ADD adds a specific device. Arg is the number of the device. It returns the device i or a negative error code. LOOP_CTL_REMOVE removes a specific device, Arg is the number the device. It returns the device i or a negative error code. LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE finds the next unbound device or allocates a new one. No arg is given. It returns the device i or a negative error code. The loop kernel module gets automatically loaded when /dev/loop-control is accessed the first time. The alias specified in the module, instructs udev to create this 'dead' device node, even when the module is not loaded. Example: cfd = open("/dev/loop-control", O_RDWR); # add a new specific loop device err = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_ADD, devnr); # remove a specific loop device err = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_REMOVE, devnr); # find or allocate a free loop device to use devnr = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE); sprintf(loopname, "/dev/loop%i", devnr); ffd = open("backing-file", O_RDWR); lfd = open(loopname, O_RDWR); err = ioctl(lfd, LOOP_SET_FD, ffd); Cc: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Karel Zak <kzak@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-05-27loop: export module parametersNamhyung Kim
Export 'max_loop' and 'max_part' parameters to sysfs so user can know that how many devices are allowed and how many partitions are supported. If 'max_loop' is 0, there is no restriction on the number of loop devices. User can create/use the devices as many as minor numbers available. If 'max_part' is 0, it means simply the device doesn't support partitioning. Also note that 'max_part' can be adjusted to power of 2 minus 1 form if needed. User should check this value after the module loading if he/she want to use that number correctly (i.e. fdisk, mknod, etc.).

2011-05-24loop: handle on-demand devices correctlyNamhyung Kim
When finding or allocating a loop device, loop_probe() did not take partition numbers into account so that it can result to a different device. Consider following example: $ sudo modprobe loop max_part=15 $ ls -l /dev/loop* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 16 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 32 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 48 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 64 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 80 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 96 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 112 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop7 $ sudo mknod /dev/loop8 b 7 128 $ sudo losetup /dev/loop8 ~/temp/disk-with-3-parts.img $ sudo losetup -a /dev/loop128: [0805]:278201 (/home/namhyung/temp/disk-with-3-parts.img) $ ls -l /dev/loop* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 0 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 16 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 2048 2011-05-24 22:18 /dev/loop128 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 2049 2011-05-24 22:18 /dev/loop128p1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 2050 2011-05-24 22:18 /dev/loop128p2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 2051 2011-05-24 22:18 /dev/loop128p3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 32 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 48 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 64 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 80 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 96 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 112 2011-05-24 22:16 /dev/loop7 brw-r--r-- 1 root root 7, 128 2011-05-24 22:17 /dev/loop8 After this patch, /dev/loop8 - instead of /dev/loop128 - was accessed correctly. In addition, 'range' passed to blk_register_region() should include all range of dev_t that LOOP_MAJOR can address. It does not need to be limited by partition numbers unless 'max_loop' param was specified.

2011-05-24loop: limit 'max_part' module param to DISK_MAX_PARTSNamhyung Kim
The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition a loop block device can have. However if a user specifies very large value it would exceed the limitation of device minor number and can cause a kernel panic (or, at least, produce invalid device nodes in some cases). On my desktop system, following command kills the kernel. On qemu, it triggers similar oops but the kernel was alive: $ sudo modprobe loop max_part0000 ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at /media/Linux_Data/project/linux/fs/sysfs/group.c:65! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP last sysfs file: CPU 0 Modules linked in: loop(+) Pid: 43, comm: insmod Tainted: G W 2.6.39-qemu+ #155 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8113ce61>] [<ffffffff8113ce61>] internal_create_group= +0x2a/0x170 RSP: 0018:ffff880007b3fde8 EFLAGS: 00000246 RAX: 00000000ffffffef RBX: ffff880007b3d878 RCX: 00000000000007b4 RDX: ffffffff8152da50 RSI: 0000000000000000 RDI: ffff880007b3d878 RBP: ffff880007b3fe38 R08: ffff880007b3fde8 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: ffff88000783b4a8 R11: ffff880007b3d878 R12: ffffffff8152da50 R13: ffff880007b3d868 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff880007b3d800 FS: 0000000002137880(0063) GS:ffff880007c00000(0000) knlGS:00000000000000= 00 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 0000000000422680 CR3: 0000000007b50000 CR4: 00000000000006b0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 0000000000000000 DR7: 0000000000000000 Process insmod (pid: 43, threadinfo ffff880007b3e000, task ffff880007afb9c= 0) Stack: ffff880007b3fe58 ffffffff811e66dd ffff880007b3fe58 ffffffff811e570b 0000000000000010 ffff880007b3d800 ffff880007a7b390 ffff880007b3d868 0000000000400920 ffff880007b3d800 ffff880007b3fe48 ffffffff8113cfc8 Call Trace: [<ffffffff811e66dd>] ? device_add+0x4bc/0x5af [<ffffffff811e570b>] ? dev_set_name+0x3c/0x3e [<ffffffff8113cfc8>] sysfs_create_group+0xe/0x12 [<ffffffff810b420e>] blk_trace_init_sysfs+0x14/0x16 [<ffffffff8116a090>] blk_register_queue+0x47/0xf7 [<ffffffff8116f527>] add_disk+0xdf/0x290 [<ffffffffa00060eb>] loop_init+0xeb/0x1b8 [loop] [<ffffffffa0006000>] ? 0xffffffffa0005fff [<ffffffff8100020a>] do_one_initcall+0x7a/0x12e [<ffffffff81096804>] sys_init_module+0x9c/0x1e0 [<ffffffff813329bb>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b Code: c3 55 48 89 e5 41 57 41 56 41 89 f6 41 55 41 54 49 89 d4 53 48 89 fb= 48 83 ec 28 48 85 ff 74 0b 85 f6 75 0b 48 83 7f 30 00 75 14 <0f> 0b eb fe = 48 83 7f 30 00 b9 ea ff ff ff 0f 84 18 01 00 00 49 RIP [<ffffffff8113ce61>] internal_create_group+0x2a/0x170 RSP <ffff880007b3fde8> ---[ end trace a123eb592043acad ]--- Signed-off-by: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@gmail.com> Cc: Laurent Vivier <Laurent.Vivier@bull.net> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2011-03-04Merge branch 'for-linus' of ../linux-2.6-block into block-for-2.6.39/coreTejun Heo
This merge creates two set of conflicts. One is simple context conflicts caused by removal of throtl_scheduled_delayed_work() in for-linus and removal of throtl_shutdown_timer_wq() in for-2.6.39/core. The other is caused by commit 255bb490c8 (block: blk-flush shouldn't call directly into q->request_fn() __blk_run_queue()) in for-linus crashing with FLUSH reimplementation in for-2.6.39/core. The conflict isn't trivial but the resolution is straight-forward. * __blk_run_queue() calls in flush_end_io() and flush_data_end_io() should be called with @force_kblockd set to %true. * elv_insert() in blk_kick_flush() should use %ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE. Both changes are to avoid invoking ->request_fn() directly from request completion path and closely match the changes in the commit 255bb490c8. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers were already using the BKL before. This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.

2010-09-10block: deprecate barrier and replace blk_queue_ordered() with blk_queue_flush()Tejun Heo
Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA requests. Deprecate barrier. All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with -EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler blk_queue_flush(). blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA. All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted. * ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value. * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH. * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

2010-08-07block: push down BKL into .open and .releaseArnd Bergmann
The open and release block_device_operations are currently called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must first make sure that all drivers that currently rely on this have no regressions. This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release operations for all block drivers to prepare for the next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL with their own locks or remove it completely when it can be shown that it is not needed. The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}. Most of these two functions is also under the protection of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to ->open and ->release, and the common code does not access any global data structures that need the BKL.

2010-05-21generate "change" uevent for loop deviceDavid Zeuthen
Recent udev versions probe loop devices for filesystems meaning that the /dev/disk hierarchy may contain useful entries such as $ ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-12-x86_64-Live lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Mar 11 13:41 /dev/disk/by-label/Fedora-12-x86_64-Live -> ../../loop0 Unfortunately, no "change" uevent is generated when the loop device is detached so the symlink persists. Additionally, no "change" uevent is guaranteed to be generated when attaching an fd or changing capacity. For example, user space could open the loop device O_RDONLY (in fact, recent util-linux-ng does this) so udev's OPTIONS+="watch" machinery may not trigger the "change" uevent. This patch ensures that the "change" uevent is generated in all of these cases. As a result, the /dev/disk hierarchy works as expected for loop devices.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-04-01loop: add ioctl to resize a loop deviceJ. R. Okajima
Add the ability to 'resize' the loop device on the fly. One practical application is a loop file with XFS filesystem, already mounted: You can easily enlarge the file (append some bytes) and then call ioctl(fd, LOOP_SET_CAPACITY, new); The loop driver will learn about the new size and you can use xfs_growfs later on, which will allow you to use full capacity of the loop file without the need to unmount.

2009-03-26loop: fix circular locking in loop_clr_fd()Nikanth Karthikesan
With CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING enabled $ losetup /dev/loop0 file $ losetup -o 32256 /dev/loop1 /dev/loop0 $ losetup -d /dev/loop1 $ losetup -d /dev/loop0 triggers a [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] I think this warning is a false positive. Open/close on a loop device acquires bd_mutex of the device before acquiring lo_ctl_mutex of the same device. For ioctl(LOOP_CLR_FD) after acquiring lo_ctl_mutex, fput on the backing_file might acquire the bd_mutex of a device, if backing file is a device and this is the last reference to the file being dropped . But it is guaranteed that it is impossible to have a circular list of backing devices.(say loop2->loop1->loop0->loop2 is not possible), which guarantees that this can never deadlock. So this warning should be suppressed. It is very difficult to annotate lockdep not to warn here in the correct way. A simple way to silence lockdep could be to mark the lo_ctl_mutex in ioctl to be a sub class, but this might mask some other real bugs. @@ -1164,7 +1164,7 @@ static int lo_ioctl(struct block_device *bdev, fmode_t mode, struct loop_device *lo = bdev->bd_disk->private_data; int err; - mutex_lock(&lo->lo_ctl_mutex); + mutex_lock_nested(&lo->lo_ctl_mutex, 1); switch (cmd) { case LOOP_SET_FD: err = loop_set_fd(lo, mode, bdev, arg); Or actually marking the bd_mutex after lo_ctl_mutex as a sub class could be a better solution. Luckily it is easy to avoid calling fput on backing file with lo_ctl_mutex held, so no lockdep annotation is required. If you do not like the special handling of the lo_ctl_mutex just for the LOOP_CLR_FD ioctl in lo_ioctl(), the mutex handling could be moved inside each of the individual ioctl handlers and I could send you another patch.

2009-03-24loop: support barrier writesNikanth Karthikesan
Honour barrier requests in the loop back block device driver. In case of barrier bios, flush the backing file once before processing the barrier and once after to guarantee ordering. In case of filesystems that does not support fsync, barrier bios would be failed with -EOPNOTSUPP.

2008-12-29loop: Do not call loop_unplug for not configured loop device.Milan Broz
In loop_unplug() function is expected that mapping is set and lo->lo_backing_file is not NULL. Unfortunately loop_set_fd() set the request queue unplug function, but loop_clr_fd() doesn't clear that. Loop device allows open of non-configured loop in some situations. If the unplug on request queue is called, loop module oopses because of missing lo_backing_file.

2008-12-29loop: Flush possible running bios when loop device is released.Milan Broz
When there are still queued bios and reference count drops to zero, loop device must flush all queued bios. Otherwise it can lead to situation that caller closes the device, but some bios are still running and endio() function call later OOpses when uses unallocated mempool. This happens for example when running dm-crypt over loop, here is typical oops backtrace: Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP EIP is at mempool_free+0x12/0x6b ... crypt_dec_pending+0x50/0x54 [dm_crypt] crypt_endio+0x9f/0xa7 [dm_crypt] crypt_endio+0x0/0xa7 [dm_crypt] bio_endio+0x2b/0x2e loop_thread+0x37a/0x3b1 do_lo_send_aops+0x0/0x165 autoremove_wake_function+0x0/0x33 loop_thread+0x0/0x3b1 kthread+0x3b/0x61 kthread+0x0/0x61 kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 (But crash is reproducible with different dm targets running over loop device too.) Patch fixes it by flushing the bios in release call, reusing the flush mechanism for switching backing store.

2008-11-14CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the block loopback driverDavid Howells
Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds. Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id(). Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.
