Christoph Hellwig daaedb820a mtd_blkdevs: don't override BLKFLSBUF
BLKFLSBUF is not supposed to actually send a flush command to the device,
but to tear down buffer cache structures.  Remove the mtd_blkdevs
implementation and just use the default semantics instead.

Jens Axboe 891b7c5fbf mtd_blkdevs: convert to blk-mq
Straight forward conversion, using an internal list to enable the
driver to pull requests at will.

Dynamically allocate the tag set to avoid having to pull in the
block headers for blktrans.h, since various mtd drivers use
block conflicting names for defines and functions.

Christoph Hellwig 2a842acab1 block: introduce new block status code type
Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

Christoph Hellwig aebf526b53 block: fold cmd_type into the REQ_OP_ space
Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it
all into the operations.  The little caveat here is that previously
cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op
fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough
operations.

Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver
private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we
can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

Brian Norris f3c63795e9 mtd: blkdevs: fix potential deadlock + lockdep warnings
Commit 073db4a51e ("mtd: fix: avoid race condition when accessing
mtd->usecount") fixed a race condition but due to poor ordering of the
mutex acquisition, introduced a potential deadlock.

The deadlock can occur, for example, when rmmod'ing the m25p80 module, which
will delete one or more MTDs, along with any corresponding mtdblock
devices. This could potentially race with an acquisition of the block
device as follows.

 -> blktrans_open()
    ->  mutex_lock(&dev->lock);
    ->  mutex_lock(&mtd_table_mutex);

 -> del_mtd_device()
    ->  mutex_lock(&mtd_table_mutex);
    ->  blktrans_notify_remove() -> del_mtd_blktrans_dev()
       ->  mutex_lock(&dev->lock);

This is a classic (potential) ABBA deadlock, which can be fixed by
making the A->B ordering consistent everywhere. There was no real
purpose to the ordering in the original patch, AFAIR, so this shouldn't
be a problem. This ordering was actually already present in
del_mtd_blktrans_dev(), for one, where the function tried to ensure that
its caller already held mtd_table_mutex before it acquired &dev->lock:

        if (mutex_trylock(&mtd_table_mutex)) {
                mutex_unlock(&mtd_table_mutex);
                BUG();
        }

So, reverse the ordering of acquisition of &dev->lock and &mtd_table_mutex so
we always acquire mtd_table_mutex first.

Peng Fan 2ce401d56b mtd: blktrans: fix multiplication overflow
In drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.c:
406	set_capacity(gd, (new->size * tr->blksize) >> 9);
The type of new->size is unsigned long and the type of tr->blksize is int,
the result of 'new->size * tr->blksize' may exceed ULONG_MAX on 32bit
machines.

I use nand chip MT29F32G08CBADBWP which is 4GB and the parameters passed
to kernel is 'mtdparts=gpmi-nand:-(user)', the whole nand chip will be
treated as a 4GB mtd partition. new->size is 0x800000 and tr->blksize is
0x200, 'new->size * tr->blksize' however is 0. This is what we do not want
to see.

Linus Torvalds 1081230b74 Merge branch 'for-4.3/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull core block updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This first core part of the block IO changes contains:

   - Cleanup of the bio IO error signaling from Christoph.  We used to
     rely on the uptodate bit and passing around of an error, now we
     store the error in the bio itself.

   - Improvement of the above from myself, by shrinking the bio size
     down again to fit in two cachelines on x86-64.

   - Revert of the max_hw_sectors cap removal from a revision again,
     from Jeff Moyer.  This caused performance regressions in various
     tests.  Reinstate the limit, bump it to a more reasonable size
     instead.

   - Make /sys/block/<dev>/queue/discard_max_bytes writeable, by me.
     Most devices have huge trim limits, which can cause nasty latencies
     when deleting files.  Enable the admin to configure the size down.
     We will look into having a more sane default instead of UINT_MAX
     sectors.

   - Improvement of the SGP gaps logic from Keith Busch.

   - Enable the block core to handle arbitrarily sized bios, which
     enables a nice simplification of bio_add_page() (which is an IO hot
     path).  From Kent.

   - Improvements to the partition io stats accounting, making it
     faster.  From Ming Lei.

   - Also from Ming Lei, a basic fixup for overflow of the sysfs pending
     file in blk-mq, as well as a fix for a blk-mq timeout race
     condition.

   - Ming Lin has been carrying Kents above mentioned patches forward
     for a while, and testing them.  Ming also did a few fixes around
     that.

   - Sasha Levin found and fixed a use-after-free problem introduced by
     the bio->bi_error changes from Christoph.

   - Small blk cgroup cleanup from Viresh Kumar"

would leave a blank (zero) result.

But now, let's get the error code right. Other code paths on this ioctl
tend to use -ENOTTY to notify the user that the ioctl() is not supported

Wenlin Kang 5018393625 mtd: blktrans: change blktrans_getgeo return value
Modify function blktrans_getgeo()'s return value to -EOPNOTSUPP when
dev->tr->getgeo == NULL.

We shouldn't make the return value to 0 when dev->tr->getgeo == NULL,
because the function blktrans_getgeo() has an output value "hd_geometry"
which is usually used by some application, if returns 0 (i.e.,
"success"), it will make some application get the wrong information.

Fixed by taking the mutex in blktrans_open and blktrans_release.

Note that this locking is already suggested in
include/linux/mtd/blktrans.h:

struct mtd_blktrans_ops {
...
	/* Called with mtd_table_mutex held; no race with add/remove */
	int (*open)(struct mtd_blktrans_dev *dev);
	void (*release)(struct mtd_blktrans_dev *dev);
...
};

But we weren't following it.

Mike Snitzer b277da0a8a block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices
Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT.

Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy
contributions.  But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add
sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"):
    - On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they
      are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they
      should contribute to the random pool in the first place.
    - Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead.

There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block
devices.  From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of
caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random"
sources.

Roman Peniaev 566c0d6a74 mtd: mtd_blkdevs: handle REQ_FLUSH request and do explicit flush of writeback buffer
mtd_blkdevs is device with volatile cache (writeback buffer), so it should support
REQ_FLUSH to do explicit flush.

Without this patch 'sync' does not guarantee that writeback buffer will be flushed
on disk in case of power off, e.g.:

  $ cp some_file /mnt
  $ sync

  ### POWER OFF

In case of this sequence writeback buffer will not be flushed on disk.

This patch fixes this behaviour and explicitly reports to block layer that flush
requests are being supported.

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
pointing at anything valid.

Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().

For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
in the bio.

Brian Norris 342ff28f5a mtd: mtd_blkdevs: don't increase 'open' count on error path
Some error paths in mtd_blkdevs were fixed in the following commit:

    commit 94735ec404
    mtd: mtd_blkdevs: fix error path in blktrans_open

But on these error paths, the block device's `dev->open' count is
already incremented before we check for errors. This meant that, while
the error path was handled correctly on the first time through
blktrans_open(), the device is erroneously considered already open on
the second time through.

This problem can be seen, for instance, when a UBI volume is
simultaneously mounted as a UBIFS partition and read through its
corresponding gluebi mtdblockX device. This results in blktrans_open()
passing its error checks (with `dev->open > 0') without actually having
a handle on the device. Here's a summarized log of the actions and
results with nandsim:

    # modprobe nandsim
    # modprobe mtdblock
    # modprobe gluebi
    # modprobe ubifs
    # ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 0
    ...
    # ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N test -s 16MiB
    ...
    # mount -t ubifs ubi0:test /mnt
    # ls /dev/mtdblock*
    /dev/mtdblock0  /dev/mtdblock1
    # cat /dev/mtdblock1 > /dev/null

Artem Bityutskiy 94735ec404 mtd: mtd_blkdevs: fix error path in blktrans_open
The 'blktrans_open()' does not handle possible '__get_mtd_device()' failures
because it does not check the error code. Moreover, the 'dev->tr->open()'
failures are not handled correctly because in this case the function just
goes ahead and gets the mtd device, then returns an error. But Instead, it
should _not_ try to get the mtd device, then it should put back the module
and the kref.

This patch fixes the issue. Note, I only compile-tested it. This patch was
inspired by a bug report about a similar issue in 2.6.34 kernels

NOTE!

This merge commit was created to fix compilation error. The block
tree was merged upstream and removed the 'elv_queue_empty()'
function which the new 'mtdswap' driver is using. So a simple
merge of the mtd tree with upstream does not compile. And the
mtd tree has already be published, so re-basing it is not an option.

To fix this unfortunate situation, I had to merge upstream into the
mtd-2.6.git tree without committing, put the fixup patch on top of
this, and then commit this. The result is that we do not have commits
which do not compile.

In other words, this merge commit "merges" 3 things: the MTD tree, the
upstream tree, and the fixup patch.

You still need to ensure that block devices of that module aren't mounted.
This is due to the fact that as long as a block device is open, it still exists,
therefore if we were to allow module removal, this block device might became used again.

This time in addition to code review, I also made the code
pass some torture tests like module reload in  a loop + read in a loop +
card insert/removal all at same time.

The blktrans_open/blktrans_release don't take the mtd table lock because:

While device is added (that includes execution of add_mtd_blktrans_dev)
the lock is already taken

Now suppose the device will never be removed. In this case even if we have changes
in mtd table, the entry that we need will stay exactly the same. (Note that we don't
look at table at all, just following private pointer of block device).

Now suppose that someone tries to remove the mtd device.
This will be propagated to trans driver which _ought_ to call del_mtd_blktrans_dev
which will take the per device lock, release the mtd device and set trans->mtd = NULL.
>From this point on, following opens won't even be able to know anything about that mtd device
(which at that point is likely not to exist)
Also the same care is taken not to trip over NULL mtd pointer in blktrans_dev_release.

Arnd Bergmann 2a48fc0ab2 block: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel
calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers
were already using the BKL before.

This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
Still need to check whether this is safe to do.

file=$1
name=$2
if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then
    if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then
            sed -i '/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>/d' ${file}
    else
            sed -i 's/include.*<linux\/smp_lock.h>.*$/include <linux\/mutex.h>/g' ${file}
    fi
    sed -i ${file} \
        -e "/^#include.*linux.mutex.h/,$ {
                1,/^\(static\|int\|long\)/ {
                     /^\(static\|int\|long\)/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex);

} }"  \
    -e "s/\(un\)*lock_kernel\>[ ]*()/mutex_\1lock(\&${name}_mutex)/g" \
    -e '/[      ]*cycle_kernel_lock();/d'
else
    sed -i -e '/include.*\<smp_lock.h\>/d' ${file}  \
                -e '/cycle_kernel_lock()/d'
fi
