Commit 99e6608c9e "block: Add badblock management for gendisks"
allowed for drivers like pmem and software-raid to advertise a list of
bad media areas. However, it inadvertently added a 'badblocks' to all
block devices. Lets clean this up by having the 'badblocks' attribute
not be visible when the driver has not populated a 'struct badblocks'
instance in the gendisk.

As you can see RAX value is already poisoned showing that gendisk we got
is already freed. The problem is that get_gendisk() looks up device
number in ext_devt_idr and then does get_disk() which does kobject_get()
on the disks kobject. However the disk gets removed from ext_devt_idr
only in disk_release() (through blk_free_devt()) at which moment it has
already 0 refcount and is already on its way to be freed. Indeed we've
got a warning from kobject_get() about 0 refcount shortly before the
oops.
We fix the problem by using kobject_get_unless_zero() in get_disk() so
that get_disk() cannot get reference on a disk that is already being
freed.

This reverts commit 0dba1314d4. It causes
leaking of device numbers for SCSI when SCSI registers multiple gendisks
for one request_queue in succession. It can be easily reproduced using
Omar's script [1] on kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE.
Furthermore the protection provided by this commit is not needed anymore

Commit 165a5e22fa "block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()"
added disk->queue dereference to del_gendisk(). Although del_gendisk()
is not supposed to be called without disk->queue valid and
blk_unregister_queue() warns in that case, this change will make it oops
instead. Return to the old more robust behavior of just warning when
del_gendisk() gets called for gendisk with disk->queue being NULL.

Commit 6cd18e711d "block: destroy bdi before blockdev is
unregistered." moved bdi unregistration (at that time through
bdi_destroy()) from blk_release_queue() to blk_cleanup_queue() because
it needs to happen before blk_unregister_region() call in del_gendisk()
for MD. SCSI though will free up the device number from sd_remove()
called through a maze of callbacks from device_del() in
__scsi_remove_device() before blk_cleanup_queue() and thus similar races
as described in 6cd18e711d can happen for SCSI as well as reported by
Omar [1].
Moving bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk() works for MD and fixes the
problem for SCSI since del_gendisk() gets called from sd_remove() before
freeing the device number.
This also makes device_add_disk() (calling bdi_register_owner()) more
symmetric with del_gendisk().

Move bdev_unhash_inode() after invalidate_partition() as
invalidate_partition() looks up bdev and it cannot find the right bdev
inode after bdev_unhash_inode() is called. Thus invalidate_partition()
would not invalidate page cache of the previously used bdev. Also use
part_devt() when calling bdev_unhash_inode() instead of manually
creating the device number.

Currently, block device inodes stay around after corresponding gendisk
hash died until memory reclaim finds them and frees them. Since we will
make block device inode pin the bdi, we want to free the block device
inode as soon as the device goes away so that bdi does not stay around
unnecessarily. Furthermore we need to avoid issues when new device with
the same major,minor pair gets created since reusing the bdi structure
would be rather difficult in this case.
Unhashing block device inode on gendisk destruction nicely deals with
these problems. Once last block device inode reference is dropped (which
may be directly in del_gendisk()), the inode gets evicted. Furthermore if
the major,minor pair gets reallocated, we are guaranteed to get new
block device inode even if old block device inode is not yet evicted and
thus we avoid issues with possible reuse of bdi.

The name for a bdi of a gendisk is derived from the gendisk's devt.
However, since the gendisk is destroyed before the bdi it leaves a
window where a new gendisk could dynamically reuse the same devt while a
bdi with the same name is still live. Arrange for the bdi to hold a
reference against its "owner" disk device while it is registered.
Otherwise we can hit sysfs duplicate name collisions like the following:

This problem can occur in the following situation:
open()
- pread()
- .seq_start()
- iter = kmalloc() // succeeds
- seqf->private = iter
- .seq_stop()
- kfree(seqf->private)
- pread()
- .seq_start()
- iter = kmalloc() // fails
- .seq_stop()
- class_dev_iter_exit(seqf->private) // boom! old pointer
As the comment in disk_seqf_stop() says, stop is called even if start
failed, so we need to reinitialise the private pointer to NULL when seq
iteration stops.
An alternative would be to set the private pointer to NULL when the
kmalloc() in disk_seqf_start() fails.

automatically free it in del_gendisk(). This is in preparation for

NVDIMM devices, which can behave more like DRAM rather than block
devices, may develop bad cache lines, or 'poison'. A block device
exposed by the pmem driver can then consume poison via a read (or
write), and cause a machine check. On platforms without machine
check recovery features, this would mean a crash.
The block device maintaining a runtime list of all known sectors that
have poison can directly avoid this, and also provide a path forward
to enable proper handling/recovery for DAX faults on such a device.
Use the new badblock management interfaces to add a badblocks list to
gendisks.

When tearing down a block device early in its lifetime, userspace may
still be performing discovery actions like blkdev_ioctl() to re-read
partitions.
The nvdimm_revalidate_disk() implementation depends on
disk->driverfs_dev to be valid at entry. However, it is set to NULL in
del_gendisk() and fatally this is happening *before* the disk device is
deleted from userspace view.
There's no reason for del_gendisk() to clear ->driverfs_dev. That
device is the parent of the disk. It is guaranteed to not be freed
until the disk, as a child, drops its ->parent reference.
We could also fix this issue locally in nvdimm_revalidate_disk() by
using disk_to_dev(disk)->parent, but lets fix it globally since
->driverfs_dev follows the lifetime of the parent. Longer term we
should probably just add a @parent parameter to add_disk(), and stop
carrying this pointer in the gendisk.

Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and
attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active.
This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile
prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata
buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with
preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles.
Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph
suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several
changes:
- Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h.
- Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk.
- Removing the dynamic allocation code.
- Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down
the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted.
- Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable
pages bdi setting.
- The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or
not now key off of the bi->profile pointer.
- Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.
This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it. c files
which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly. This takes backing-dev.h off the common
include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
and cgroup.

bdi_unregister() now contains very little functionality.
It contains a "WARN_ON" if bdi->dev is NULL. This warning is of no
real consequence as bdi->dev isn't needed by anything else in the function,
and it triggers if
blk_cleanup_queue() -> bdi_destroy()
is called before bdi_unregister, which happens since
Commit: 6cd18e711d ("block: destroy bdi before blockdev is unregistered.")
So this isn't wanted.
It also calls bdi_set_min_ratio(). This needs to be called after
writes through the bdi have all been flushed, and before the bdi is destroyed.
Calling it early is better than calling it late as it frees up a global
resource.
Calling it immediately after bdi_wb_shutdown() in bdi_destroy()
perfectly fits these requirements.
So bdi_unregister() can be discarded with the important content moved to
bdi_destroy(), as can the
writeback_bdi_unregister
event which is already not used.

Remove a race condition which causes a warning in disk_clear_events. This
is a race between disk_clear_events() and disk_flush_events().
ev->clearing will be altered by disk_flush_events() even though we are
blocking event checking through disk_flush_events(). If this happens
after ev->clearing was cleared for disk_clear_events(), this can cause the
WARN_ON_ONCE() in that function to be triggered.
This change also has disk_clear_events() not go through a workqueue.
Since we have to wait for the work to complete, we should just call the
function directly. Also, since this work cannot be put on a freezable
workqueue, it will have to contend with increased demand, so calling the
function directly avoids this.

In disk_clear_events, do not put work on system_nrt_freezable_wq.
Instead, put it on system_nrt_wq.
There is a race between probing a usb and suspending the device. Since
probing a usb calls disk_clear_events, which puts work on a frozen
workqueue, probing cannot finish after the workqueue is frozen. However,
suspending cannot finish until the usb probe is finished, so we get a
deadlock, causing the system to reboot.
The way to reproduce this bug is to wake up from suspend with a usb
storage device plugged in, or plugging in a usb storage device right
before suspend. The window of time is on the order of time it takes to
probe the usb device. As long as the workqueues are frozen before the
call to add_disk within sd_probe_async finishes, there will be a deadlock
(which calls blkdev_get, sd_open, check_disk_change, then
disk_clear_events). This is not difficult to reproduce after figuring out
the timings.

Pull block driver update from Jens Axboe:
"Now that the core bits are in, here are the driver bits for 3.8. The
branch contains:
- A huge pile of drbd bits that were dumped from the 3.7 merge
window. Following that, it was both made perfectly clear that
there is going to be no more over-the-wall pulls and how the
situation on individual pulls can be improved.
- A few cleanups from Akinobu Mita for drbd and cciss.
- Queue improvement for loop from Lukas. This grew into adding a
generic interface for waiting/checking an even with a specific
lock, allowing this to be pulled out of md and now loop and drbd is
also using it.
- A few fixes for xen back/front block driver from Roger Pau Monne.
- Partition improvements from Stephen Warren, allowing partiion UUID
to be used as an identifier."
* 'for-3.8/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (609 commits)
drbd: update Kconfig to match current dependencies

drbd: respect no-md-barriers setting also when changed online via disk-options
drbd: Remove obsolete check
drbd: fixup after wait_even_lock_irq() addition to generic code
loop: Limit the number of requests in the bio list
wait: add wait_event_lock_irq() interface
xen-blkfront: free allocated page
xen-blkback: move free persistent grants code
block: partition: msdos: provide UUIDs for partitions
init: reduce PARTUUID min length to 1 from 36
block: store partition_meta_info.uuid as a string
cciss: use check_signature()
cciss: cleanup bitops usage
drbd: use copy_highpage
drbd: if the replication link breaks during handshake, keep retrying
drbd: check return of kmalloc in receive_uuids
drbd: Broadcast sync progress no more often than once per second
drbd: don't try to clear bits once the disk has failed
...
This will allow other types of UUID to be stored here, aside from true
UUIDs. This also simplifies code that uses this field, since it's usually
constructed from a, used as a, or compared to other, strings.
Note: A simplistic approach here would be to set uuid_str[36]=0 whenever a
/PARTNROFF option was found to be present. However, this modifies the
input string, and causes subsequent calls to devt_from_partuuid() not to
see the /PARTNROFF option, which causes different results. In order to
avoid misleading future maintainers, this parameter is marked const.
