When a filesystem is mounted from a loop device, writes are
throttled by balance_dirty_pages() twice: once when writing
to the filesystem and once when the loop_handle_cmd() writes
to the backing file. This double-throttling can trigger
positive feedback loops that create significant delays. The
throttling at the lower level is seen by the upper level as
a slow device, so it throttles extra hard.
The PF_LESS_THROTTLE flag was created to handle exactly this
circumstance, though with an NFS filesystem mounted from a
local NFS server. It reduces the throttling on the lower
layer so that it can proceed largely unthrottled.
To demonstrate this, create a filesystem on a loop device
and write (e.g. with dd) several large files which combine
to consume significantly more than the limit set by
/proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio or dirty_bytes. Measure the total
time taken.
When I do this directly on a device (no loop device) the
total time for several runs (mkfs, mount, write 200 files,
umount) is fairly stable: 28-35 seconds.
When I do this over a loop device the times are much worse
and less stable. 52-460 seconds. Half below 100seconds,
half above.
When I apply this patch, the times become stable again,
though not as fast as the no-loop-back case: 53-72 seconds.
There may be room for further improvement as the total overhead still
seems too high, but this is a big improvement.

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.

If the nbd server stops receiving packets altogether we will get stuck

While installing SLES-12 (based on v4.4), I found that the installer
will stall for 60+ seconds during LVM disk scan. The root cause was
determined to be the removal of a bound device check in loop_flush()
by commit b5dd2f6047 ("block: loop: improve performance via blk-mq").
Restoring this check, examining ->lo_state as set by loop_set_fd()
eliminates the bad behavior.
Test method:
modprobe loop max_loop=64
dd if=/dev/zero of=disk bs=512 count=200K
for((i=0;i<4;i++))do losetup -f disk; done
mkfs.ext4 -F /dev/loop0
for((i=0;i<4;i++))do mkdir t$i; mount /dev/loop$i t$i;done
for f in `ls /dev/loop[0-9]*|sort`; do \
echo $f; dd if=$f of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1; \
done
Test output: stock patched
/dev/loop0 18.1217e-05 8.3842e-05
/dev/loop1 6.1114e-05 0.000147979

Commit 93c1defedc ("rbd: remove the discard_zeroes_data flag")
explicitly didn't implement REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES for rbd, while the
following commit 48920ff2a5 ("block: remove the discard_zeroes_data
flag") dropped ->discard_zeroes_data in favor of REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES.
rbd does support efficient zeroing via CEPH_OSD_OP_ZERO opcode and will
release either some or all blocks depending on whether the zeroing
request is rbd_obj_bytes() aligned. This is how we currently implement
discards, so REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES can be identical to REQ_OP_DISCARD for
now. Caveats:
- REQ_NOUNMAP is ignored, but AFAICT that's true of at least two other
current implementations - nvme and loop
- there is no ->write_zeroes_alignment and blk_bio_write_zeroes_split()
is hence less helpful than blk_bio_discard_split(), but this can (and
should) be fixed on the rbd side
In the future we will split these into two code paths to respect
REQ_NOUNMAP on zeroout and save on zeroing blocks that couldn't be
released on discard.

__vmalloc* allows users to provide gfp flags for the underlying
allocation. This API is quite popular
$ git grep "=[[:space:]]__vmalloc\|return[[:space:]]*__vmalloc" | wc -l
77
The only problem is that many people are not aware that they really want
to give __GFP_HIGHMEM along with other flags because there is really no
reason to consume precious lowmemory on CONFIG_HIGHMEM systems for pages
which are mapped to the kernel vmalloc space. About half of users don't
use this flag, though. This signals that we make the API unnecessarily
too complex.
This patch simply uses __GFP_HIGHMEM implicitly when allocating pages to
be mapped to the vmalloc space. Current users which add __GFP_HIGHMEM
are simplified and drop the flag.

* Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent
to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via
the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces
in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax"
or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors
generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This
subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section
9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and
submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices.
* Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by
a request from Linus and feedback from Christoph this allows for dax
capable drivers to publish their own custom dax operations. This fixes
the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a
persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures
and platforms to add customized persistent memory support.
* 'libnvdimm' core updates: A new "deep_flush" sysfs attribute is
available for storage appliance applications to manually trigger memory
controllers to drain write-pending buffers that would otherwise be
flushed automatically by the platform ADR (asynchronous-DRAM-refresh)
mechanism at a power loss event. Support for "locked" DIMMs is included
to prevent namespaces from surfacing when the namespace label data area
is locked. Finally, fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes,
also tagged for -stable.
* ACPI / nfit driver updates: General updates of the nfit driver to add
DSM command overrides, ACPI 6.1 health state flags support, DSM payload
debug available by default, and various fixes.

Currently the exclusive lock is acquired only if the mapping is
writable, i.e. an image HEAD mapped in rw mode. This means that we
don't acquire the lock for executing a read from a snapshot or an image
HEAD mapped in ro mode, even if lock_on_read is set. This is somewhat
weird and inconsistent with "no automatic exclusive lock transfers"
mode, where the lock is acquired unconditionally.

As we no longer release the lock before potentially raising BLACKLISTED

rbd_queue_workfn() needs to go: we can be both locked and blacklisted

add_disk() takes an extra reference on disk->queue, which is put in
put_disk() -> disk_release(). Avoiding blk_cleanup_queue() (which also
puts the queue) until add_disk() sets GENHD_FL_UP works for the queue
itself, but leaks various queue internals. Conditioning tag_set freeing
on GENHD_FL_UP is wrong too: all error paths after rbd_init_disk() leak
the tag_set.
Move the final "announce" steps out of rbd_dev_device_setup() so that

In page_same_filled function, all elements in the page is compared with
next index value. The current comparison routine compares the (i)th and
(i+1)th values of the page.
In this case, two load operaions occur for each comparison. But if we
store first value of the page stores at 'val' variable and using it to
compare with others, the load opearation is reduced. It reduce load
operation per page by up to 64times.

This patch (of 6):
Johannes Thumshirn reported system goes the panic when using NVMe over
Fabrics loopback target with zram.
The reason is zram expects each bvec in bio contains a single page
but nvme can attach a huge bulk of pages attached to the bio's bvec
so that zram's index arithmetic could be wrong so that out-of-bound
access makes system panic.
[1] in mainline solved solved the problem by limiting max_sectors with
SECTORS_PER_PAGE but it makes zram slow because bio should split with
each pages so this patch makes zram aware of multiple pages in a bvec
so it could solve without any regression(ie, bio split).

bounds accesses
