Ilya Dryomov a13553c777 block: add bdev_read_only() checks to common helpers
Similar to blkdev_write_iter(), return -EPERM if the partition is
read-only.  This covers ioctl(), fallocate() and most in-kernel users
but isn't meant to be exhaustive -- everything else will be caught in
generic_make_request_checks(), fail with -EIO and can be fixed later.

Greg Kroah-Hartman b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Ilya Dryomov d5ce4c31d6 block: cope with WRITE ZEROES failing in blkdev_issue_zeroout()
sd_config_write_same() ignores ->max_ws_blocks == 0 and resets it to
permit trying WRITE SAME on older SCSI devices, unless ->no_write_same
is set.  Because REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES is implemented in terms of WRITE
SAME, blkdev_issue_zeroout() may fail with -EREMOTEIO:

  $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg
  fallocate: fallocate failed: Remote I/O error
  $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg  # OK
  $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg  # OK

The following calls succeed because sd_done() sets ->no_write_same in
response to a sense that would become BLK_STS_TARGET/-EREMOTEIO, causing
__blkdev_issue_zeroout() to fall back to generating ZERO_PAGE bios.

This means blkdev_issue_zeroout() must cope with WRITE ZEROES failing
and fall back to manually zeroing, unless BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK is
specified.  For BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK case, return -EOPNOTSUPP if
sd_done() has just set ->no_write_same thus indicating lack of offload
support.

Christoph Hellwig 74d46992e0 block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index
This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

Damien Le Moal 615d22a51c block: Fix __blkdev_issue_zeroout loop
The BIO issuing loop in __blkdev_issue_zeroout() is allocating BIOs
with a maximum number of bvec (pages) equal to

min(nr_sects, (sector_t)BIO_MAX_PAGES)

This works since the requested number of bvecs will always be limited
to the absolute maximum number supported (BIO_MAX_PAGES), but this is
ineficient as too many bvec entries may be requested due to the
different units being used in the min() operation (number of sectors vs
number of pages).
To fix this, introduce the helper __blkdev_sectors_to_bio_pages() to
correctly calculate the number of bvecs for zeroout BIOs as the issuing
loop progresses. The calculation is done using consistent units and
makes sure that the number of pages return is at least 1 (for cases
where the number of sectors is less that the number of sectors in
a page).

Also remove a trailing space after the bit shift in the internal loop
min() call.

Christoph Hellwig f9d03f96b9 block: improve handling of the magic discard payload
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.

This adds a new block layer operation to zero out a range of

either discard with a predictable zero pattern or WRITE SAME of zeroes.
The prominent example of that is NVMe with the Write Zeroes command,
but in the future, this should also help with improving the way
zeroing discards work. For this operation, suitable entry is exported in
sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one
write zeroes operation by the device.

Christoph Hellwig ef295ecf09 block: better op and flags encoding
Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range
of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and
request fields.  This in addition allows us to place the operation
first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to
stop having to shift around the operation values.

In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer
instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do
that later) and thus clean up a lot of code.

Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags
field in struct request to 32-bits.  Various functions passing this
value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now.

Linus Torvalds 3fc9d69093 Merge branch 'for-4.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This branch also contains core changes.  I've come to the conclusion
  that from 4.9 and forward, I'll be doing just a single branch.  We
  often have dependencies between core and drivers, and it's hard to
  always split them up appropriately without pulling core into drivers
  when that happens.

  That said, this contains:

   - separate secure erase type for the core block layer, from
     Christoph.

   - set of discard fixes, from Christoph.

   - bio shrinking fixes from Christoph, as a followup up to the
     op/flags change in the core branch.

   - map and append request fixes from Christoph.

   - NVMeF (NVMe over Fabrics) code from Christoph.  This is pretty

Christoph Hellwig e950fdf71c block: introduce BLKDEV_DISCARD_ZERO to fix zeroout
Currently blkdev_issue_zeroout cascades down from discards (if the driver
guarantees that discards zero data), to WRITE SAME and then to a loop

may have mixed discard support underneath.

This patch intoroduces a new BLKDEV_DISCARD_ZERO flag to
blkdev_issue_discard that indicates we are called for zeroing operation.
This allows both to ignore the EOPNOTSUPP hack and actually consolidating

Mike Snitzer bbd848e0fa block: reinstate early return of -EOPNOTSUPP from blkdev_issue_discard
Commit 38f2525533 ("block: add __blkdev_issue_discard") incorrectly
disallowed the early return of -EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support
discard (or secure discard).  This early return of -EOPNOTSUPP has
always been part of blkdev_issue_discard() interface so there isn't a
good reason to break that behaviour -- especially when it can be easily
reinstated.

The nuance of allowing early return of -EOPNOTSUPP vs disallowing late
return of -EOPNOTSUPP is: if the overall device never advertised support
for discards and one is issued to the device it is beneficial to inform
the caller that discards are not supported via -EOPNOTSUPP.  But if a
device advertises discard support it means that at least a subset of the
device does have discard support -- but it could be that discards issued
to some regions of a stacked device will not be supported.  In that case
the late return of -EOPNOTSUPP must be disallowed.

In commit b49a087("block: remove split code in
blkdev_issue_{discard,write_same}"), discard_granularity and alignment
checks were removed. Ideally, with bio late splitting, the upper layers
shouldn't need to depend on device's limits.

Christoph reported a discard regression on the HGST Ultrastar SN100 NVMe
device when mkfs.xfs. We have not found the root cause yet.

This patch re-adds discard_granularity and alignment checks by reverting
the related changes in commit b49a087. The good thing is now we can
remove the 2G discard size cap and just use UINT_MAX to avoid bi_size
overflow.

Christoph Hellwig 4246a0b63b block: add a bi_error field to struct bio
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

Martin K. Petersen 9f9ee1f2b2 block: Quiesce zeroout wrapper
blkdev_issue_zeroout() printed a warning if a device failed a discard or
write same request despite advertising support for these. That's fine
for SCSI since we'll disable these commands if we get an error back from
the disk saying that they are not supported. And consequently the
warning only gets printed once.

There are other types of block devices that support discard, however,
and these may return -EOPNOTSUPP for each command but leave discard
enabled in the queue limits. This will cause a warning message for every
blkdev_issue_zeroout() invocation.

Remove the offending warning messages.

Martin K. Petersen d93ba7a5a9 block: Add discard flag to blkdev_issue_zeroout() function
blkdev_issue_discard() will zero a given block range. This is done by
way of explicit writing, thus provisioning or allocating the blocks on
disk.

There are use cases where the desired behavior is to zero the blocks but
unprovision them if possible. The blocks must deterministically contain
zeroes when they are subsequently read back.

This patch adds a flag to blkdev_issue_zeroout() that provides this
variant. If the discard flag is set and a block device guarantees
discard_zeroes_data we will use REQ_DISCARD to clear the block range. If
the device does not support discard_zeroes_data or if the discard
request fails we will fall back to first REQ_WRITE_SAME and then a
regular REQ_WRITE.

Also update the callers of blkdev_issue_zero() to reflect the new flag
and make sb_issue_zeroout() prefer the discard approach.

do_div() (called by sector_div() if CONFIG_LBDAF=y) is meant for divisions

As queue_limits.max_discard_sectors and .discard_granularity are unsigned
int, max_discard_sectors and granularity should be unsigned int.
As bdev_discard_alignment() returns int, alignment should be int.
Now 2 calls to sector_div() can be replaced by 32-bit arithmetic:
  - The 64-bit modulo operation can become a 32-bit modulo operation,
  - The 64-bit division and multiplication can be replaced by a 32-bit

blkdev_issue_flush() calls wait_for_completion() which in turn calls
schedule() that does not increment the iowait proc counter and thus does
not turn on iowait time accounting.

Shaohua Li 8dd2cb7e88 block: discard granularity might not be power of 2
In MD raid case, discard granularity might not be power of 2, for example, a
4-disk raid5 has 3*chunk_size discard granularity. Correct the calculation for
such cases.

Martin K. Petersen 579e8f3c7b block: Make blkdev_issue_zeroout use WRITE SAME
If the device supports WRITE SAME, use that to optimize zeroing of
blocks. If the device does not support WRITE SAME or if the operation
fails, fall back to writing zeroes the old-fashioned way.

Martin K. Petersen 4363ac7c13 block: Implement support for WRITE SAME
The WRITE SAME command supported on some SCSI devices allows the same
block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a
single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device
writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O.

This patch implements support for WRITE SAME in the block layer. The
blkdev_issue_write_same() function can be used by filesystems and block
drivers to replicate a buffer across a block range. This can be used to
efficiently initialize software RAID devices, etc.

Paolo Bonzini c6e666345e block: split discard into aligned requests
When a disk has large discard_granularity and small max_discard_sectors,
discards are not split with optimal alignment.  In the limit case of
discard_granularity == max_discard_sectors, no request could be aligned
correctly, so in fact you might end up with no discarded logical blocks
at all.

Another example that helps showing the condition in the patch is with
discard_granularity == 64, max_discard_sectors == 128.  A request that is
submitted for 256 sectors 2..257 will be split in two: 2..129, 130..257.
However, only 2 aligned blocks out of 3 are included in the request;
128..191 may be left intact and not discarded.  With this patch, the
first request will be truncated to ensure good alignment of what's left,
and the split will be 2..127, 128..255, 256..257.  The patch will also
take into account the discard_alignment.

At most one extra request will be introduced, because the first request
will be reduced by at most granularity-1 sectors, and granularity
must be less than max_discard_sectors.  Subsequent requests will run
on round_down(max_discard_sectors, granularity) sectors, as in the
current code.
