nvme/core: Fix race kicking freed request_queue

2017-04-08T07:35:09Z

commit f33447b90e96076483525b21cc4e0a8977cdd07c upstream. If a namespace has already been marked dead, we don't want to kick the request_queue again since we may have just freed it from another thread.

nvme: apply DELAY_BEFORE_CHK_RDY quirk at probe time too

2017-01-11T16:21:35Z

Commit 54adc01055b7 ("nvme/quirk: Add a delay before checking for adapter readiness") introduced a quirk to adapters that cannot read the bit NVME_CSTS_RDY right after register NVME_REG_CC is set; these adapters need a delay or else the action of reading the bit NVME_CSTS_RDY could somehow corrupt adapter's registers state and it never recovers. When this quirk was added, we checked ctrl->tagset in order to avoid quirking in probe time, supposing we would never require such delay during probe. Well, it was too optimistic; we in fact need this quirk at probe time in some cases, like after a kexec. In some experiments, after abnormal shutdown of machine (aka power cord unplug), we booted into our bootloader in Power, which is a Linux kernel, and kexec'ed into another distro. If this kexec is too quick, we end up reaching the probe of NVMe adapter in that distro when adapter is in bad state (not fully initialized on our bootloader). What happens next is that nvme_wait_ready() is unable to complete, except if the quirk is enabled. So, this patch removes the original ctrl->tagset verification in order to enable the quirk even on probe time.

nvme: simplify stripe quirk

2016-12-21T10:33:06Z

Some OEMs believe they own the Identify Controller vendor specific region and will repurpose it with their own values. While not common, we can't rely on the PCI VID:DID to tell use how to decode the field we reserved for this as the stripe size so we need to do something else for the list of devices using this quirk. The field was supposed to allow flexibility on the device's back-end striping, but it turned out that never materialized; the chunk is always the same as MDTS in the products subscribing to this quirk, so this patch removes the stripe_size field and sets the chunk to the max hw transfer size for the devices using this quirk.

Revert "nvme: add support for the Write Zeroes command"

2016-12-14T03:53:37Z

This reverts commit 6d31e3ba232ea22458b2f36b6d3f2f9f11bf3fa4. This causes bootup problems for me both on my laptop and my desktop. What they have in common is that they have NVMe disks with dm-crypt, but it's not the same controller, so it's not controller-specific. Jens does not see it on his machine (also NVMe), so it's presumably something that triggers just on bootup. Possibly related to dm-crypt and the fact that I mark my luks volume with "allow-discards" in /etc/crypttab. It's 100% repeatable for me, which made it fairly straightforward to bisect the problem to this commit. Small mercies. So we don't know what the reason is yet, but the revert is needed to get things going again. Acked-by: Jens Axboe Cc: Chaitanya Kulkarni Cc: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Merge branch 'for-4.10/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2016-12-13T18:19:16Z

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially for cycles that end up being as busy as this one. The major parts of this pull request is: - Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small private implementation instead of using the pig that is fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph. - Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the writeback queue throttling code. - Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me. - Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me. - Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes and Shaun. - Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef. - Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From Christoph. - A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue stopping and starting in blk-mq. - Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya. - Lightnvm updates from Javier/Matias. - Supoort for FC for the nvme-over-fabrics code.

block: improve handling of the magic discard payload

2016-12-09T15:30:51Z

Instead of allocating a single unused biovec for discard requests, send them down without any payload. Instead we allow the driver to add a "special" payload using a biovec embedded into struct request (unioned over other fields never used while in the driver), and overloading the number of segments for this case. This has a couple of advantages: - we don't have to allocate the bio_vec - the amount of special casing for discard requests in the block layer is significantly reduced - using this same scheme for other request types is trivial, which will be important for implementing the new WRITE_ZEROES op on devices where it actually requires a payload (e.g. SCSI) - we can get rid of playing games with the request length, as we'll never touch it and completions will work just fine - it will allow us to support ranged discard operations in the future by merging non-contiguous discard bios into a single request - last but not least it removes a lot of code This patch is the common base for my WIP series for ranges discards and to remove discard_zeroes_data in favor of always using REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES, so it would be good to get it in quickly.
