Kiyoshi Ueda [Fri, 8 Dec 2006 10:41:10 +0000 (02:41 -0800)]
[PATCH] dm: mpath: use noflush suspending

Implement the pushback feature for the multipath target.

The pushback request is used when:
  1) there are no valid paths;
  2) queue_if_no_path was set;
  3) a suspend is being issued with the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag.
     Otherwise bios are returned to applications with -EIO.

To check whether queue_if_no_path is specified or not, you need to check
both queue_if_no_path and saved_queue_if_no_path, because presuspend saves
the original queue_if_no_path value to saved_queue_if_no_path.

The check for 1 already exists in both map_io() and do_end_io().
So this patch adds __must_push_back() to check 2 and 3.

Test results:
See the test results in the preceding patch.

17 years ago[PATCH] dm: suspend: add noflush pushback
Kiyoshi Ueda [Fri, 8 Dec 2006 10:41:09 +0000 (02:41 -0800)]
[PATCH] dm: suspend: add noflush pushback

In device-mapper I/O is sometimes queued within targets for later processing.
For example the multipath target can be configured to store I/O when no paths
are available instead of returning it -EIO.

This patch allows the device-mapper core to instruct a target to transfer the
contents of any such in-target queue back into the core.  This frees up the
resources used by the target so the core can replace that target with an
alternative one and then resend the I/O to it.  Without this patch the only
way to change the target in such circumstances involves returning the I/O with
an error back to the filesystem/application.  In the multipath case, this
patch will let us add new paths for existing I/O to try after all the existing
paths have failed.

    DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
    ----------------------

If the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is specified at suspend time, the
DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is set in md->flags during dm_suspend().  It
is always cleared before dm_suspend() returns.

The flag must be visible while the target is flushing pending I/Os so it
is set before presuspend where the flush starts and unset after the wait
for md->pending where the flush ends.

Target drivers can check this flag by calling dm_noflush_suspending().

    DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE / DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE
    -----------------------------------

A target's map() function can now return DM_MAPIO_REQUEUE to request the
device mapper core queue the bio.

Similarly, a target's end_io() function can return DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE to request
the same.  This has been labelled 'pushback'.

The __map_bio() and clone_endio() functions in the core treat these return
values as errors and call dec_pending() to end the I/O.

    dec_pending
    -----------

dec_pending() saves the pushback request in struct dm_io->error.  Once all
the split clones have ended, dec_pending() will put the original bio on
the md->pushback list.  Note that this supercedes any I/O errors.

It is possible for the suspend with DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG to be aborted while
in progress (e.g. by user interrupt).  dec_pending() checks for this and
returns -EIO if it happened.

    pushdback list and pushback_lock
    --------------------------------

The bio is queued on md->pushback temporarily in dec_pending(), and after
all pending I/Os return, md->pushback is merged into md->deferred in
dm_suspend() for re-issuing at resume time.

md->pushback_lock protects md->pushback.
The lock should be held with irq disabled because dec_pending() can be
called from interrupt context.

Queueing bios to md->pushback in dec_pending() must be done atomically
with the check for DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag.  So md->pushback_lock is
held when checking the flag.  Otherwise dec_pending() may queue a bio to
md->pushback after the interrupted dm_suspend() flushes md->pushback.
Then the bio would be left in md->pushback.

Flag setting in dm_suspend() can be done without md->pushback_lock because
the flag is checked only after presuspend and the set value is already
made visible via the target's presuspend function.

The flag can be checked without md->pushback_lock (e.g. the first part of
the dec_pending() or target drivers), because the flag is checked again
with md->pushback_lock held when the bio is really queued to md->pushback
as described above.  So even if the flag is cleared after the lockless
checkings, the bio isn't left in md->pushback but returned to applications
with -EIO.

    Other notes on the current patch
    --------------------------------

- md->pushback is added to the struct mapped_device instead of using
  md->deferred directly because md->io_lock which protects md->deferred is
  rw_semaphore and can't be used in interrupt context like dec_pending(),
  and md->io_lock protects the DMF_BLOCK_IO flag of md->flags too.

- Don't issue lock_fs() in dm_suspend() if the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
  ioctl option is specified, because I/Os generated by lock_fs() would be
  pushed back and never return if there were no valid devices.

- If an error occurs in dm_suspend() after the DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING
  flag is set, md->pushback must be flushed because I/Os may be queued to
  the list already.  (flush_and_out label in dm_suspend())

    Test results
    ------------

I have tested using multipath target with the next patch.

The following tests are for regression/compatibility:
  - I/Os succeed when valid paths exist;
  - I/Os fail when there are no valid paths and queue_if_no_path is not
    set;
  - I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
    queue_if_no_path is set;
  - The queued I/Os above fail when suspend is issued without the
    DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option.  I/Os spanning 2 multipath targets also
    fail.

The following tests are for the normal code path of new pushback feature:
  - Queued I/Os in the multipath target are flushed from the target
    but don't return when suspend is issued with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG
    ioctl option;
  - The I/Os above are queued in the multipath target again when
    resume is issued without path recovery;
  - The I/Os above succeed when resume is issued after path recovery
    or table load;
  - Queued I/Os in the multipath target succeed when resume is issued
    with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option after table load. I/Os
    spanning 2 multipath targets also succeed.

The following tests are for the error paths of the new pushback feature:
  - When the bdget_disk() fails in dm_suspend(), the
    DMF_NOFLUSH_SUSPENDING flag is cleared and I/Os already queued to the
    pushback list are flushed properly.
  - When suspend with the DM_NOFLUSH_FLAG ioctl option is interrupted,
      o I/Os which had already been queued to the pushback list
        at the time don't return, and are re-issued at resume time;
      o I/Os which hadn't been returned at the time return with EIO.

The patch has no effect on existing behaviour.

o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target map functions.

  The new definition of return values from target map functions is:
      < 0 : error
      = 0 : The target will handle the io (DM_MAPIO_SUBMITTED).
      = 1 : Mapping completed (DM_MAPIO_REMAPPED).
      > 1 : Reserved (undefined).  Previously this was the same as '= 1'.

o Reserve return values of 2 and above from target end_io functions

  I/Os are queued in the multipath target when there are no valid paths and
queue_if_no_path is set.

Henrique de Moraes Holschuh [Fri, 8 Dec 2006 10:40:49 +0000 (02:40 -0800)]
[PATCH] backlight: do not power off backlight when unregistering

ACPI drivers like ibm-acpi are moving to the backlight sysfs
infrastructure.  During ibm-acpi testing, I have noticed that
backlight_device_unregister() sets the display brightness and power to
zero.

This causes the display to be dimmed on ibm-acpi module removal.  It will
affect all other ACPI drivers that are being converted to use the backlight
class, as well.  It also affects a number of framebuffer devices that are
used on desktops and laptops which might also not want such behaviour.

Since working around this behaviour requires undesireable hacks, Richard
Purdie decided that we would be better off reverting the changes in the
sysfs class, and adding the code to dim and power off the backlight device
to the drivers that want it.  This patch is my attempt to do so.

Patch against latest linux-2.6.git.  Changes untested, as I lack the
required hardware.  Still, they are trivial enough that, apart from typos,
there is little chance of getting them wrong.

Franck Bui-Huu [Fri, 8 Dec 2006 10:40:48 +0000 (02:40 -0800)]
[PATCH] softcursor.c: avoid unaligned accesses

Fix some possible unaligned accesses when accessing fields of 'image'
pointer.  Indeed this pointer was obtained by allocating a block of memory
that embeds a temporary array plus an image structure.  The temporary
buffer was located at the start of the allocated block and depending on its
size, the image structure which comes right after can be unaligned.

For example when using mini fonts (4x6) (cursor's width is 4 and its height
is 6) the temporary buf size is 6 bytes.

Therefore this patch moves the image structure to the start of the block
and moves the temporary buffer right after.  It makes 'image' pointer
always aligned and since the tempo buf is a buffer of char, it's always
correctly aligned as well.

It also fixes the file header alignement.

Eric W. Biederman [Fri, 8 Dec 2006 10:39:55 +0000 (02:39 -0800)]
[PATCH] sysctl: simplify sysctl_uts_string

The binary interface to the namespace sysctls was never implemented resulting
in some really weird things if you attempted to use sys_sysctl to read your
hostname for example.

This patch series simples the code a little and implements the binary sysctl
interface.

In testing this patch series I discovered that our 32bit compatibility for the
binary sysctl interface is imperfect.  In particular KERN_SHMMAX and
KERN_SMMALL are size_t sized quantities and are returned as 8 bytes on to
32bit binaries using a x86_64 kernel.  However this has existing for a long
time so it is not a new regression with the namespace work.

Gads the whole sysctl thing needs work before it stops being easy to shoot
yourself in the foot.

Looking forward a little bit we need a better way to handle sysctls and
namespaces as our current technique will not work for the network namespace.
I think something based on the current overlapping sysctl trees will work but
the proc side needs to be redone before we can use it.

This patch:

Introduce get_uts() and put_uts() (used later) and remove most of the special
cases for when UTS namespace is compiled in.

[PATCH] fault injection: stacktrace filtering

This patch provides stacktrace filtering feature.

The stacktrace filter allows failing only for the caller you are
interested in.

For example someone may want to inject kmalloc() failures into
only e100 module. they want to inject not only direct kmalloc() call,
but also indirect allocation, too.

- e100_poll --> netif_receive_skb --> packet_rcv_spkt --> skb_clone
  --> kmem_cache_alloc

This patch enables to detect function calls like this by stacktrace
and inject failures. The script Documentaion/fault-injection/failmodule.sh
helps it.

The range of text section of loaded e100 is expected to be
[/sys/module/e100/sections/.text, /sys/module/e100/sections/.exit.text)

So failmodule.sh stores these values into /debug/failslab/address-start
and /debug/failslab/address-end. The maximum stacktrace depth is specified
by /debug/failslab/stacktrace-depth.

Please see the example that demonstrates how to inject slab allocation
failures only for a specific module
in Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt

- alloc_pages() failures

- disk IO errors

We can see what really happens if those failures happen.

In order to enable these fault-injection capabilities:

1. Enable relevant config options (CONFIG_FAILSLAB, CONFIG_PAGE_ALLOC,
   CONFIG_MAKE_REQUEST) and if you want to configure them via debugfs,
   enable CONFIG_FAULT_INJECTION_DEBUG_FS.

2. Build and boot with this kernel

3. Configure fault-injection capabilities behavior by boot option or debugfs

   - Boot option

     failslab=
     fail_page_alloc=
     fail_make_request=

   - Debugfs

     /debug/failslab/*
     /debug/fail_page_alloc/*
     /debug/fail_make_request/*

   Please refer to the Documentation/fault-injection/fault-injection.txt
