SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout
driver core: remove CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 but keep it for block devices
...
I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are
making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another
directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them.
This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option
that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way
the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option
on the command line.
The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set
the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing
config files.
Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining
CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes
care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code
look nicer.
v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only
handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems
and that seems to work.

Its reason is the wrong way of accounting hd_struct->in_flight. When a bio is
merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE.
The detailed root cause is as follows.
Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2.
1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight
is 0 and sda2's one is 1.
| hd_struct->in_flight
---------------------------
sda1 | 0
sda2 | 1
---------------------------
2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on
step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed
from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's
hd_struct->in_flight are not changed.
| hd_struct->in_flight
---------------------------
sda1 | 0
sda2 | 1
---------------------------
3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case,
sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented.
| hd_struct->in_flight
---------------------------
sda1 | -1
sda2 | 1
---------------------------
The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup
inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment
and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This
also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on
the number of lookups we have to do.
When reloading partition tables, quiesce IO to ensure that no
request references to the partition struct exists. When it is safe
to free the partition table, the IO for that device is restarted
again.

Partition boundary calculation fails for DASD FBA disks under the
following conditions:
- disk is formatted with CMS FORMAT with a blocksize of more than
512 bytes
- all of the disk is reserved to a single CMS file using CMS RESERVE
- the disk is accessed using the DIAG mode of the DASD driver
Under these circumstances, the partition detection code tries to
read the CMS label block containing partition-relevant information
from logical block offset 1, while it is in fact located at physical
block offset 1.
Fix this problem by using the correct CMS label block location

Currently, native capacity unlocking is initiated only when a
recognized partition extends beyond the end of the disk. However,
there are several other unhandled cases where truncated capacity can
lead to misdetection of partitions.
* Partition table is fully beyond EOD.
* Partition table is partially beyond EOD (daisy chained ones).
* Recognized partition starts beyond EOD.
This patch updates generic partition check code such that all the
above three cases are handled too. For the first two, @state tracks
whether low level partition check code tried to read beyond EOD during
partition scan and triggers native capacity unlocking accordingly.
The third is now handled similarly to the original unlocking case.

Make the following changes to partition check code.
* Add ->bdev to struct parsed_partitions.
* Introduce read_part_sector() which is a simple wrapper around
read_dev_sector() which takes struct parsed_partitions *state
instead of @bdev.
* For functions which used to take @state and @bdev, drop @bdev. For
functions which used to take @bdev, replace it with @state.
* While updating, drop superflous checks on NULL state/bdev in ldm.c.
This cleans up the API a bit and enables better handling of IO errors
during partition check as the generic partition check code now has
much better visibility into what went wrong in the low level code
paths.

bdops->set_capacity() is unnecessarily generic. All that's required
is a simple one way notification to lower level driver telling it to
try to unlock native capacity. There's no reason to pass in target
capacity or return the new capacity. The former is always the
inherent native capacity and the latter can be handled via the usual
device resize / revalidation path. In fact, the current API is always
used that way.
Replace ->set_capacity() with ->unlock_native_capacity() which take
only @disk and doesn't return anything. IDE which is the only current
user of the API is converted accordingly.

Device resize via ->set_capacity() can reveal new partitions (e.g. in
chained partition table formats such as dos extended parts). Restart
partition scan from the beginning after resizing a device. This
change also makes libata always revalidate the disk after resize which
makes lower layer native capacity unlocking implementation simpler and
more robust as resize can be handled in the usual path.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

In order to use disks larger than 2TiB on Windows XP, it is necessary to
use 4096-byte logical sectors in an MBR.
Although the kernel storage and functions called from msdos.c used
"sector_t" internally, msdos.c still used u32 variables, which results in
the ability to handle XP-compatible large disks.
This patch changes the internal variables to "sector_t".

The size of EFI GPT header is not static, but whole sector is

than 92 (= sizeof(struct gpt_header) and must be less than or
equal to the logical block size.
It means we have to read whole sector with the header, because the
header crc32 checksum is calculated according to HeaderSize.

Commit a9327cac44 added seperate read

of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.
But Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> reported getting strange
output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and
utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.
So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899
The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
if (now == part->stamp)
return;
- if (part->in_flight) {
+ if (part_in_flight(part)) {

part_in_flight(part) * (now - part->stamp));
__part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part->stamp));

To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we
need to ensure proper alignment. This patch adds support for exposing
I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked.
logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address.
physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write
without incurring a read-modify-write penalty.
The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by
the device. In many cases this is the same as the physical block
size. However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking
(RAID5 chunk size > physical block size).
The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by
the device. This is usually the stripe width for arrays.
The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start
of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment.
Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets
so filesystems start on proper boundaries.

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.
This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

The dasd device driver will now support ECKD devices with more then
65520 cylinders.
In the traditional ECKD adressing scheme each track is addressed
by a 16-bit cylinder and 16-bit head number. The new addressing
scheme makes use of the fact that the actual number of heads is
never larger then 15, so 12 bits of the head number can be redefined
to be part of the cylinder address.

This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it
from struct device, based on the following ideas:
1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it
in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way,
we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject.
2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my
omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object)
This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to
set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject
as private part of struct device in future.

Impact: New way of using the blktrace infrastructure
This drops the requirement of userspace utilities to use the blktrace
facility.
Configuration is done thru sysfs, adding a "trace" directory to the
partition directory where blktrace can be enabled for the associated
request_queue.
The same filters present in the IOCTL interface are present as sysfs
device attributes.
The /sys/block/sdX/sdXN/trace/enable file allows tracing without any
filters.
The other files in this directory: pid, act_mask, start_lba and end_lba
can be used with the same meaning as with the IOCTL interface.
Using the sysfs interface will only setup the request_queue->blk_trace
fields, tracing will only take place when the "blk" tracer is selected
via the ftrace interface, as in the following example:
To see the trace, one can use the /d/tracing/trace file or the
/d/tracign/trace_pipe file, with semantics defined in the ftrace
documentation in Documentation/ftrace.txt.

The default line context (prefix) format is the one described in the ftrace
documentation, with the blktrace specific bits using its existing format,
described in blkparse(8).
If one wants to have the classic blktrace formatting, this is possible by
using:
[root@f10-1 ~]# echo blk_classic > /t/trace_options
[root@f10-1 ~]# cat /t/trace
8,1 0 3046.491224 305 A WBS 6367 + 8 <- (8,1) 6304
8,1 0 3046.491227 305 Q R 6367 + 8 [kjournald]

8,1 0 3046.511914 0 C RS 6367 + 8 [6367]
[root@f10-1 ~]#
Using the ftrace standard format allows more flexibility, such
as the ability of asking for backtraces via trace_options:
[root@f10-1 ~]# echo noblk_classic > /t/trace_options
[root@f10-1 ~]# echo stacktrace > /t/trace_options
[root@f10-1 ~]# cat /t/trace

Please read the ftrace documentation to use aditional, standardized
tracing filters such as /d/tracing/trace_cpumask, etc.
See also /d/tracing/trace_mark to add comments in the trace stream,
that is equivalent to the /d/block/sdaN/msg interface.

Hi Jens,
I've found a little bug for you. It was introduced by
a6f23657d3
block: add one-hit cache for disk partition lookup
and has the effect of killing my machine whenever I try to assemble
an md array :-(
One of the devices in the array has partitions, and mdadm always
deletes partitions before putting a whole-device in an array (as it
can cause confusion). The next IO to that device locks the machine.
I don't really understand exactly why it locks up, but it happens in
disk_map_sector_rcu(). This patch fixes it.
Which is due to a missing clear of the (now) stale partition lookup
data. So clear that when we delete a partition.

With extended devt, finding out the partition number becomes a bit
more challenging as subtracting the minor number from that of the
parent device doesn't work anymore. The only thing left is parsing
the partition name which is brittle and not exactly universal (some
have '-' between the device name and partition number while others
don't). This patch introduced partition attribute which contains the
partition number of the device. This should make finding partitions
and its index easier.
This problem and solution were suggested by H. Peter Anvin.

We currently follow blindly what the partition table lies about the
disk, and let the kernel create block devices which can not be accessed.
Trying to identify the device leads to kernel logs full of:
sdb: rw=0, want=73392, limit=28800
attempt to access beyond end of device
Here is an example of a broken partition table, where sda2 starts
behind the end of the disk, and sdb3 is larger than the entire disk:
Disk /dev/sdb: 14 MB, 14745600 bytes
1 heads, 29 sectors/track, 993 cylinders, total 28800 sectors
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sdb1 29 7800 3886 83 Linux
/dev/sdb2 37801 45601 3900+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb3 15602 73402 28900+ 83 Linux
/dev/sdb4 23403 28796 2697 83 Linux
The kernel creates these completely invalid devices, which can not be
accessed, or may lead to other unpredictable failures:
grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size}
/sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800
/sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29
/sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772
/sys/class/block/sdb2/start:37801
/sys/class/block/sdb2/size:7801
/sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602
/sys/class/block/sdb3/size:57801
/sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403
/sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394
With this patch, we ignore partitions which start behind the end of the disk,
and limit partitions to the end of the disk if they pretend to be larger:
grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size}
/sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800
/sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29
/sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772
/sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602
/sys/class/block/sdb3/size:13198
/sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403
/sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394
These warnings are printed to the kernel log:
sdb: p2 ignored, start 37801 is behind the end of the disk
sdb: p3 size 57801 limited to end of disk
