nvme: Fix nvme_get/set_features() with a NULL result pointer

2016-08-24T14:11:10Z

nvme_set_features() callers seem to expect that passing NULL as the result pointer is acceptable. Teach nvme_set_features() not to try to write to the NULL address. For symmetry, make the same change to nvme_get_features(), despite the fact that all current callers pass a valid result pointer. I assume that this bug hasn't been reported in practice because the callers that pass NULL are all in the SCSI translation layer and no one uses the relevant operations.

nvme: Prevent controller state invalid transition

2016-08-15T15:46:46Z

Acquiring the nvme_ctrl lock before reading ctrl->state in nvme_change_ctrl_state() should prevent a theoretical invalid state transition, in the event of two threads racing inside that function. I haven't been able to observe this happening with the current code, and the current state machine seems to be simple enough to not be affected by these invalid transitions, but future modifications could make it more likely to happen.

nvme: initialize variable before logical OR'ing it

2016-07-21T03:26:16Z

It is typically not good coding or secure coding practice to logical OR a variable without an initialization value first. Here on this line: integrity.flags |= BLK_INTEGRITY_DEVICE_CAPABLE; BLK_INTEGRITY_DEVICE_CAPABLE is being OR'ed to a member variable never set to an initial value. This patch fixes that.

block: ensure bios return from blk_get_request are properly initialized

2016-07-20T23:38:30Z

blk_get_request is used for BLOCK_PC and similar passthrough requests. Currently we always need to call blk_rq_set_block_pc or an open coded version of it to allow appending bios using the request mapping helpers later on, which is a somewhat awkward API. Instead move the initialization part of blk_rq_set_block_pc into blk_get_request, so that we always have a safe to use request. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

When alloc_disk(0) is used, the ->major number is ignored. All device numbers are allocated with a major of BLOCK_EXT_MAJOR. So remove all references to nvme_major.

nvme: Remove RCU namespace protection

2016-07-14T15:48:08Z

We can't sleep with RCU read lock held, but we need to do potentially blocking stuff to namespace queues when iterating the list. This patch removes the RCU locking and holds a mutex instead. To prevent deadlocks, this patch removes holding the mutex during namespace scanning and removal. The unlocked namespace scanning is made safe by holding a reference to the namespace being scanned. List iteration that does IO has to be unlocked to allow error recovery. The caller must ensure the list can not be manipulated during such an event, so this patch adds a comment explaining this requirement to the only function that iterates an unlocked list. All callers currently meet this requirement, so no further changes required. List iterations that do not do IO can safely use the lock since it couldn't block recovery from missing forced IO completions.

nvme: Limit command retries

2016-07-12T23:20:31Z

Many controller implementations will return errors to commands that will not succeed, but without the DNR bit set. The driver previously retried these commands an unlimited number of times until the command timeout has exceeded, which takes an unnecessarilly long period of time. This patch limits the number of retries a command can have, defaulting to 5, but is user tunable at load or runtime. The struct request's 'retries' field is used to track the number of retries attempted. This is in contrast with scsi's use of this field, which indicates how many retries are allowed.

nvme/quirk: Add a delay before checking for adapter readiness

2016-07-12T15:23:00Z

When disabling the controller, the specification says the register NVME_REG_CC should be written and then driver needs to wait the adapter to be ready, which is checked by reading another register bit (NVME_CSTS_RDY). There's a timeout validation in this checking, so in case this timeout is reached the driver gives up and removes the adapter from the system. After a firmware activation procedure, the PCI_DEVICE(0x1c58, 0x0003) (HGST adapter) end up being removed if we issue a reset_controller, because driver keeps verifying the NVME_REG_CSTS until the timeout is reached. This patch adds a necessary quirk for this adapter, by introducing a delay before nvme_wait_ready(), so the reset procedure is able to be completed. This quirk is needed because just increasing the timeout is not enough in case of this adapter - the driver must wait before start reading NVME_REG_CSTS register on this specific device.
