Daniel Stodden 7fd152f4b6 blkfront: Fix blkfront backend switch race (bdev release)
We cannot read backend state within bdev operations, because it risks
grabbing the state change before xenbus gets to do it.

Fixed by tracking deferral with a frontend switch to Closing. State
exposure isn't strictly necessary, but the backends won't mind.

For a 'clean' deferral this seems actually a more decent protocol than
raising errors.

Daniel Stodden b70f5fa043 blkfront: Lock blkfront_info when closing
The bdev .open/.release fops race against backend switches to Closing,
handled by the XenBus thread.

The original code attempted to serialize block device holders and
xenbus only via bd_mutex. This is insufficient, the info->bd pointer
may already be stale (or null) while xenbus tries to bump up the
refcount.

Protect blkfront_info with a dedicated mutex.

Daniel Stodden 5b61cb90c2 xenbus: Make xenbus_switch_state transactional
According to the comments, this was how it's been done years ago, but
apparently took an xbt pointer from elsewhere back then. The code was
removed because of consistency issues: cancellation wont't roll back
the saved xbdev->state.

Still, unsolicited writes to the state field remain an issue,
especially if device shutdown takes thread synchronization, and subtle
races cause accidental recreation of the device node.

Fixed by reintroducing the transaction. An internal one is sufficient,
so the xbdev->state value remains consistent.

Also fixes the original hack to prevent infinite recursion. Instead of
bailing out on the first attempt to switch to Closing, checks call
depth now.

Prevent prematurely freeing 'struct blkfront_info' instances (when the
xenbus data structures are gone, but the Linux ones are still needed).

Prevent adding a disk with the same (major, minor) [and hence the same
name and sysfs entries, which leads to oopses] when the previous
instance wasn't fully de-allocated yet.

This still doesn't address all issues resulting from forced detach:
I/O submitted after the detach still blocks forever, likely preventing
subsequent un-mounting from completing. It's not clear to me (not
knowing much about the block layer) how this can be avoided.

Dave Chinner f10d9f617a blkdev: check for valid request queue before issuing flush
Issuing a blkdev_issue_flush() on an unconfigured loop device causes a panic as
q->make_request_fn is not configured. This can occur when trying to mount the
unconfigured loop device as an XFS filesystem. There are no guards that catch
the bio before the request function is called because we don't add a payload to
the bio. Instead, manually check this case as soon as we have a pointer to the
queue to flush.

      * The BLKI2OSRSTRAT and BLKI2OSWSTRAT commands always return
        -ENOTTY on success, where they should return 0.
      * Support for 32 bit compat is missing
      * The driver should use the .ioctl function and because
        .locked_ioctl is going away.

      The use of the big kernel lock remains for now, but gets
      made explictit in the ioctl function.

Arnd Bergmann 409f3499a2 scsi/sd: remove big kernel lock
Every user of the BKL in the sd driver is the
result of the pushdown from the block layer
into the open/close/ioctl functions.

The only place that used to rely on the BKL is
the sdkp->openers variable, which gets converted
into an atomic_t.

Nothing else seems to rely on the BKL, since the
functions do not touch global data without holding
another lock, and the open/close functions are
still protected from concurrent execution using
the bdev->bd_mutex.

Arnd Bergmann 6de4370310 block: remove BKL from BLKROSET and BLKFLSBUF
We only call the functions set_device_ro(),
invalidate_bdev(), sync_filesystem() and sync_blockdev()
while holding the BKL in these commands. All
of these are also done in other code paths without
the BKL, which leads me to the conclusion that
the BKL is not needed here either.

The reason we hold it here is that it was originally
pushed down into the ioctl function from vfs_ioctl.

Arnd Bergmann 6e9624b8ca block: push down BKL into .open and .release
The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.

This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.

The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.

Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

FUJITA Tomonori 610a63498f scsi: fix discard page leak
We leak a page allocated for discard on some error conditions
(e.g. scsi_prep_state_check returns BLKPREP_DEFER in
scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd).

We unprep on requests that weren't prepped in the error path of
scsi_init_io. It makes the error path to clean up scsi commands messy.

Let's strictly apply the rule that we can't unprep on a request that
wasn't prepped.

Calling just scsi_put_command() in the error path of scsi_init_io() is
enough. We don't set REQ_DONTPREP yet.

scsi_setup_discard_cmnd can safely free a page on the error case with
the above rule.

Dave Chinner 455b286468 writeback: Initial tracing support
Trace queue/sched/exec parts of the writeback loop. This provides
insight into when and why flusher threads are scheduled to run. e.g
a sync invocation leaves traces like:

     sync-[...]: writeback_queue: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0
flush-8:0-[...]: writeback_exec: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0

This also lays the foundation for adding more writeback tracing to
provide deeper insight into the whole writeback path.

The original tracing code is from Jens Axboe, though this version is
a rewrite as a result of the code being traced changing
significantly.

FUJITA Tomonori 90467c294a scsi: stop using q->prepare_flush_fn
scsi-ml builds flush requests via q->prepare_flush_fn(), however,
builds discard requests via q->prep_rq_fn.

Using two different mechnisms for the similar requests (building
commands in SCSI ULD) doesn't make sense.

Handing both via q->prep_rq_fn makes the code design simpler.

FUJITA Tomonori b6a903151d block: permit PREFLUSH and POSTFLUSH without prepare_flush_fn
This is preparation for removing q->prepare_flush_fn.

Temporarily, blk_queue_ordered() permits QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_PREFLUSH and
QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_POSTFLUSH without prepare_flush_fn.

FUJITA Tomonori 8749534fe6 block: introduce REQ_FLUSH flag
SCSI-ml needs a way to mark a request as flush request in
q->prepare_flush_fn because it needs to identify them later (e.g. in
q->request_fn or prep_rq_fn).

queue_flush sets REQ_HARDBARRIER in rq->cmd_flags however the block
layer also sends normal REQ_TYPE_FS requests with REQ_HARDBARRIER. So
SCSI-ml can't use REQ_HARDBARRIER to identify flush requests.

We could change the block layer to clear REQ_HARDBARRIER bit before
sending non flush requests to the lower layers. However, intorudcing
the new flag looks cleaner (surely easier).
