dm vdo: return error on corrupted metadata in start_restoring_volume functions

2025-09-23T08:49:45Z

The return values of VDO_ASSERT calls that validate metadata are not acted upon. Return UDS_CORRUPT_DATA in case of an error. Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.

dm vdo: Update code to use mem_is_zero

2025-09-23T08:49:17Z

Remove function that would check if data was all zeroes. Use the built-in kernel function mem_is_zero() instead. Signed-off-by: Bruce Johnston Signed-off-by: Matthew Sakai Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka

block: remove the bi_inline_vecs variable sized array from struct bio

2025-09-09T13:31:59Z

Bios are embedded into other structures, and at least spare is unhappy about embedding structures with variable sized arrays. There's no real need to the array anyway, we can replace it with a helper pointing to the memory just behind the bio, and with the previous cleanups there is very few site doing anything special with it.

vdo: omit need_resched() before cond_resched()

2025-07-31T13:39:55Z

There's no need to call need_resched() because cond_resched() will do nothing if need_resched() returns false. Reviewed-by: Matthew Sakai Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka

dm vdo indexer: don't read request structure after enqueuing

2025-05-15T13:54:47Z

The function get_volume_page_protected may place a request on a queue for another thread to process asynchronously. When this happens, the volume should not read the request from the original thread. This can not currently cause problems, due to the way request processing is handled, but it is not safe in general.

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12Z

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree over and remove the historical wrapper inlines. Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

dm vdo indexer: reorder uds_request to reduce padding

2025-02-25T13:15:41Z

Reorder fields and make uds_request_type and uds_zone_message packed, to squeeze out some space. Use struct_group so the request reset code no longer needs to care about field order. On x86_64 this reduces the struct size from 144 to 120, which saves 48 kB (about 12%) per VDO hash zone. Signed-off-by: Ken Raeburn Signed-off-by: Matthew Sakai Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka
