2007-10-17NBD: allow hung network I/O to be cancelledPaul Clements
Allow NBD I/O to be cancelled when a network outage occurs. Previously, I/O would just hang, and if enough I/O was hung in nbd, the system (at least user-level) would completely hang until a TCP timeout (default, 15 minutes) occurred. The patch introduces a new ioctl NBD_SET_TIMEOUT that allows a transmit timeout value (in seconds) to be specified. Any network send that exceeds the timeout will be cancelled and the nbd connection will be shut down. I've tested with various timeout values and 6 seconds seems to be a good choice for the timeout. If the NBD_SET_TIMEOUT ioctl is not called, you get the old (I/O hang) behavior.

2007-10-17NBD: set uninitialized devices to size 0Paul Clements
This fixes errors with utilities (such as LVM's vgscan) that try to scan all devices. Previously this would generate read errors when uninitialized nbd devices were scanned: # vgscan Reading all physical volumes. This may take a while... /dev/nbd0: read failed after 0 of 1024 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nbd0: read failed after 0 of 1024 at 509804544: Input/output error /dev/nbd0: read failed after 0 of 2048 at 0: Input/output error /dev/nbd1: read failed after 0 of 1024 at 509804544: Input/output error /dev/nbd1: read failed after 0 of 2048 at 0: Input/output error From now on, uninitialized nbd devices will have size zero, which prevents these errors.

This memcpy looks so strange, in fact it's merely a pointer dereference, so I change the parameter's type to refer it more directly, this could make the memcpy not needed anymore. In the function nbd_read_stat where nbd_find_request is only once called, the parameter served should be transformed accordingly.

2007-10-17cciss: disable DMA refetch on Smart Array P600Mike Miller (OS Dev)
This patch disables DMA refetch in the PCI bridge. We have disabled DMA prefetch for quite some time. Testing with XEN revealed another ASIC bug. If dom0 resides on a P600 the board can can an MCA bi accessing invalid memory addresses. Apparently, we need to disable both prefetch and refetch. My understanding is a refetch operation should not occur but it is a valid thing to do if prefetched data is no longer available for whatever reason. Please consider this patch for inclusion.

Partial write can be easily supported by LO_CRYPT_NONE mode, but it is not easy in LO_CRYPT_CRYPTOAPI case, because of its block nature. I don't know who still used cryptoapi, but theoretically it is possible. So let's leave things as they are.

2007-10-16Panic in blk_rq_map_sg() from CCISS driverLee Schermerhorn
New scatter/gather list chaining [sg_next()] treats 'page' member of struct scatterlist with low bit set [0x01] as a chain pointer to another struct scatterlist [array]. The CCISS driver request function passes an uninitialized, temporary, on-stack scatterlist array to blk_rq_map_sq(). sg_next() interprets random data on the stack as a chain pointer and eventually tries to de-reference an invalid pointer, resulting in: [<ffffffff8031dd70>] blk_rq_map_sg+0x70/0x170 PGD 6090c3067 PUD 0 Oops: 0000 [1] SMP last sysfs file: /block/cciss!c0d0/cciss!c0d0p1/dev CPU 6 Modules linked in: ehci_hcd ohci_hcd uhci_hcd Pid: 1, comm: init Not tainted 2.6.23-rc6-mm1 #3 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff8031dd70>] [<ffffffff8031dd70>] blk_rq_map_sg+0x70/0x170 RSP: 0018:ffff81060901f768 EFLAGS: 00010206 RAX: 000000040b161000 RBX: ffff81060901f7d8 RCX: 000000040b162c00 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: ffff81060b13a260 RDI: ffff81060b139600 RBP: 0000000000001400 R08: 00000000fffffffe R09: 0000000000000400 R10: 0000000000000000 R11: 000000040b163000 R12: ffff810102fe0000 R13: 0000000000000001 R14: 0000000000000001 R15: 00001e0000000000 FS: 00000000026108f0(0063) GS:ffff810409000b80(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 000000010000001e CR3: 00000006090c6000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process init (pid: 1, threadinfo ffff81060901e000, task ffff810409020800) last branch before last exception/interrupt from [<ffffffff8031de0a>] blk_rq_map_sg+0x10a/0x170 to [<ffffffff8031dd70>] blk_rq_map_sg+0x70/0x170 Stack: 000000018068ea00 ffff810102fe0000 0000000000000000 ffff810011400000 0000000000000002 0000000000000000 ffff81040b172000 ffffffff803acd3d 0000000000003ec1 ffff8106090d5000 ffff8106090d5000 ffff810102fe0000 Call Trace: [<ffffffff803acd3d>] do_cciss_request+0x15d/0x4c0 [<ffffffff80298968>] new_slab+0x1c8/0x270 [<ffffffff80298ffd>] __slab_alloc+0x22d/0x470 [<ffffffff8027327b>] mempool_alloc+0x4b/0x130 [<ffffffff8032b21e>] cfq_set_request+0xee/0x380 [<ffffffff8027327b>] mempool_alloc+0x4b/0x130 [<ffffffff8031ff98>] get_request+0x168/0x360 [<ffffffff80331b0d>] rb_insert_color+0x8d/0x110 [<ffffffff8031cfd8>] elv_rb_add+0x58/0x60 [<ffffffff8032a329>] cfq_add_rq_rb+0x69/0xa0 [<ffffffff8031c1ab>] elv_merged_request+0x5b/0x60 [<ffffffff803224fd>] __make_request+0x23d/0x650 [<ffffffff80298ffd>] __slab_alloc+0x22d/0x470 [<ffffffff80270000>] generic_write_checks+0x140/0x190 [<ffffffff8031f012>] generic_make_request+0x1c2/0x3a0 <etc> Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

2007-10-10[NET]: Make the device list and device lookups per namespace.Eric W. Biederman
This patch makes most of the generic device layer network namespace safe. This patch makes dev_base_head a network namespace variable, and then it picks up a few associated variables. The functions: dev_getbyhwaddr dev_getfirsthwbytype dev_get_by_flags dev_get_by_name __dev_get_by_name dev_get_by_index __dev_get_by_index dev_ioctl dev_ethtool dev_load wireless_process_ioctl were modified to take a network namespace argument, and deal with it. vlan_ioctl_set and brioctl_set were modified so their hooks will receive a network namespace argument. So basically anthing in the core of the network stack that was affected to by the change of dev_base was modified to handle multiple network namespaces. The rest of the network stack was simply modified to explicitly use &init_net the initial network namespace. This can be fixed when those components of the network stack are modified to handle multiple network namespaces. For now the ifindex generator is left global. Fundametally ifindex numbers are per namespace, or else we will have corner case problems with migration when we get that far. At the same time there are assumptions in the network stack that the ifindex of a network device won't change. Making the ifindex number global seems a good compromise until the network stack can cope with ifindex changes when you change namespaces, and the like. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-10-10[NET]: Make packet reception network namespace safeEric W. Biederman

2007-08-26[SUNVDC]: Use slice 0xff on VD_DISK_TYPE_DISK.David S. Miller
While debugging issues with the VDS server I made the driver use partition 2 to get at the whole disk since this is the "whole disk" partition in the Sun disk label. We really should use slice 0xff which really means the whole physical disk in the VIO disk protocol. Otherwise things won't work well on a disk image that doesn't have a proper disk label on it.

2007-08-22Introduce CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATUREGeert Uytterhoeven
Introduce CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE to control inclusion of check_signature() and avoid problems on platforms that don't have readb(). Let the few legacy (ISA || PCI || X86) drivers that need check_signature() select CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE.

The lguest block device only requests one minor, which means partitions don't work (eg "root=/dev/lgba1"). Let's follow the crowd and ask for 16. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
