2023-06-13md/raid10: clean up md_add_new_disk()Li Nan
Commit 1a855a060665 ("md: fix bug with re-adding of partially recovered device.") only add device which is set to In_sync. But it let devices without metadata cannot be added when they should be. Commit bf572541ab44 ("md: fix regression with re-adding devices to arrays with no metadata") fix the above issue, it set device without metadata to In_sync when add new disk. However, after commit f466722ca614 ("md: Change handling of save_raid_disk and metadata update during recovery.") deletes changes of the first patch, setting In_sync for devcie without metadata is meanless because the flag will be cleared soon and will not be used during this period. Clean it up.

2023-06-13md/raid10: prioritize adding disk to 'removed' mirrorLi Nan
When add a new disk to raid10, it will traverse conf->mirror from start and find one of the following mirror to add: 1. mirror->rdev is set to WantReplacement and it have no replacement, set new disk to mirror->replacement. 2. no mirror->rdev, set new disk to mirror->rdev. There is a array as below (sda is set to WantReplacement): Number Major Minor RaidDevice State 0 8 0 0 active sync set-A /dev/sda - 0 0 1 removed 2 8 32 2 active sync set-A /dev/sdc 3 8 48 3 active sync set-B /dev/sdd Use 'mdadm --add' to add a new disk to this array, the new disk will become sda's replacement instead of add to removed position, which is confusing for users. Meanwhile, after new disk recovery success, sda will be set to Faulty. Prioritize adding disk to 'removed' mirror is a better choice. In the above scenario, the behavior is the same as before, except sda will not be deleted. Before other disks are added, continued use sda is more reliable.

There are two check of 'mreplace' in raid10_sync_request(). In the first check, 'need_replace' will be set and 'mreplace' will be used later if no-Faulty 'mreplace' exists, In the second check, 'mreplace' will be set to NULL if it is Faulty, but 'need_replace' will not be changed accordingly. null-ptr-deref occurs if Faulty is set between two check.

2023-06-13md: protect md_thread with rcuYu Kuai
Currently, there are many places that md_thread can be accessed without protection, following are known scenarios that can cause null-ptr-dereference or uaf: 1) sync_thread that is allocated and started from md_start_sync() 2) mddev->thread can be accessed directly from timeout_store() and md_bitmap_daemon_work() 3) md_unregister_thread() from action_store(). Currently, a global spinlock 'pers_lock' is borrowed to protect 'mddev->thread' in some places, this problem can be fixed likewise, however, use a global lock for all the cases is not good.

2023-06-13md/bitmap: factor out a helper to set timeoutYu Kuai
Register/unregister 'mddev->thread' are both under 'reconfig_mutex', however, some context didn't hold the mutex to access mddev->thread, which can cause null-ptr-deference: 1) md_bitmap_daemon_work() can be called from md_check_recovery() where 'reconfig_mutex' is not held, deference 'mddev->thread' might cause null-ptr-deference, because md_unregister_thread() reset the pointer before stopping the thread. 2) timeout_store() access 'mddev->thread' multiple times, null-ptr-deference can be triggered if 'mddev->thread' is reset in the middle. This patch factor out a helper to set timeout, the new helper always check if 'mddev->thread' is null first, so that problem 1 can be fixed. Now that this helper only access 'mddev->thread' once, but it's possible that 'mddev->thread' can be freed while this helper is still in progress, hence the problem is not fixed yet.

2023-06-13md: fix duplicate filename for rdevYu Kuai
Commit 5792a2856a63 ("[PATCH] md: avoid a deadlock when removing a device from an md array via sysfs") delays the deletion of rdev, however, this introduces a window that rdev can be added again while the deletion is not done yet, and sysfs will complain about duplicate filename. Follow up patches try to fix this problem by flushing workqueue, however, flush_rdev_wq() is just dead code, the progress in md_kick_rdev_from_array(): 1) list_del_rcu(&rdev->same_set); 2) synchronize_rcu(); 3) queue_work(md_rdev_misc_wq, &rdev->del_work); So in flush_rdev_wq(), if rdev is found in the list, work_pending() can never pass, in the meantime, if work is queued, then rdev can never be found in the list. flush_rdev_wq() can be replaced by flush_workqueue() directly, however, this approach is not good: - the workqueue is global, this synchronization for all raid disks is not necessary. - flush_workqueue can't be called under 'reconfig_mutex', there is still a small window between flush_workqueue() and mddev_lock() that other contexts can queue new work, hence the problem is not solved completely. sysfs already has apis to support delete itself through writer, and these apis, specifically sysfs_break/unbreak_active_protection(), is used to support deleting rdev synchronously. Therefore, the above commit can be reverted, and sysfs duplicate filename can be avoided. A new mdadm regression test is proposed as well([1]).

2023-06-13md/raid5: fix a deadlock in the case that reshape is interruptedYu Kuai
If reshape is in progress and io across reshape_position is issued, such io will wait for reshape to make progress(see details in the case that make_stripe_request() return STRIPE_SCHEDULE_AND_RETRY). It has been reported several times that if system reboot while growing raid5 to raid6, array assemble will hang infinitely([1, 2]). This is because following deadlock is triggered: 1) a normal io is waiting for reshape to progress, this io can be from system-udevd or mdadm. 2) while assemble, mdadm tries to suspend the array, hence 'reconfig_mutex' is held and mddev_suspend() must wait for normal io to be done. 3) daemon thread can't start reshape because 'reconfig_mutex' can't be held. 1) and 3) is unbreakable because they're foundation design. In order to break 2), following is possible solutions that I can think of: a) Let mddev_suspend() fail is not a good option, because this will break many scenarios since mddev_suspend() doesn't fail before. b) Fail the io that is waiting for reshape to make progress from mddev_suspend(). c) Return false for the io that is waiting for reshape to make progress from raid5_make_request(), and these io will wait for suspend to be done in md_handle_request(), where 'active_io' is not grabbed. c) sounds better than b), however, b) is used because it's easy and straightforward, and it's verified that mdadm can assemble in this case. On the other hand, c) breaks the logic that mddev_suspend() will wait for submitted io to be completely handled. Fix the problem by checking reshape in mddev_suspend(), if reshape can't make progress and there are still some io waiting for reshape, fail those io.

Switch to only call early_lookup_bdev when dm is built-in and the system state in not running yet. This means it is still available when tables are constructed by dm-init.c from the kernel command line, but not otherwise.

2023-05-25dm integrity: Use alloc_ordered_workqueue() to create ordered workqueuesTejun Heo
BACKGROUND ========== When multiple work items are queued to a workqueue, their execution order doesn't match the queueing order. They may get executed in any order and simultaneously. When fully serialized execution - one by one in the queueing order - is needed, an ordered workqueue should be used which can be created with alloc_ordered_workqueue(). However, alloc_ordered_workqueue() was a later addition. Before it, an ordered workqueue could be obtained by creating an UNBOUND workqueue with @max_active==1. This originally was an implementation side-effect which was broken by 4c16bd327c74 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered"). Because there were users that depended on the ordered execution, 5c0338c68706 ("workqueue: restore WQ_UNBOUND/max_active==1 to be ordered") made workqueue allocation path to implicitly promote UNBOUND workqueues w/ @max_active==1 to ordered workqueues. While this has worked okay, overloading the UNBOUND allocation interface this way creates other issues. It's difficult to tell whether a given workqueue actually needs to be ordered and users that legitimately want a min concurrency level wq unexpectedly gets an ordered one instead. With planned UNBOUND workqueue updates to improve execution locality and more prevalence of chiplet designs which can benefit from such improvements, this isn't a state we wanna be in forever. This patch series audits all callsites that create an UNBOUND workqueue w/ @max_active==1 and converts them to alloc_ordered_workqueue() as necessary. WHAT TO LOOK FOR ================ The conversions are from alloc_workqueue(WQ_UNBOUND | flags, 1, args..) to alloc_ordered_workqueue(flags, args...) which don't cause any functional changes. If you know that fully ordered execution is not necessary, please let me know. I'll drop the conversion and instead add a comment noting the fact to reduce confusion while conversion is in progress. If you aren't fully sure, it's completely fine to let the conversion through. The behavior will stay exactly the same and we can always reconsider later. As there are follow-up workqueue core changes, I'd really appreciate if the patch can be routed through the workqueue tree w/ your acks. Thanks.

2023-05-22Merge patch series "Use block pr_ops in LIO"Martin K. Petersen
Mike Christie <michael.christie@oracle.com> says: The patches in this thread allow us to use the block pr_ops with LIO's target_core_iblock module to support cluster applications in VMs. They were built over Linus's tree. They also apply over linux-next and Martin's tree and Jens's trees. Currently, to use windows clustering or linux clustering (pacemaker + cluster labs scsi fence agents) in VMs with LIO and vhost-scsi, you have to use tcmu or pscsi or use a cluster aware FS/framework for the LIO pr file. Setting up a cluster FS/framework is pain and waste when your real backend device is already a distributed device, and pscsi and tcmu are nice for specific use cases, but iblock gives you the best performance and allows you to use stacked devices like dm-multipath. So these patches allow iblock to work like pscsi/tcmu where they can pass a PR command to the backend module. And then iblock will use the pr_ops to pass the PR command to the real devices similar to what we do for unmap today. The patches are separated in the following groups: Patch 1 - 2: - Add block layer callouts for reading reservations and rename reservation error code. Patch 3 - 5: - SCSI support for new callouts. Patch 6: - DM support for new callouts. Patch 7 - 13: - NVMe support for new callouts. Patch 14 - 18: - LIO support for new callouts. This patchset has been tested with the libiscsi PGR ops and with window's failover cluster verification test. Note that for scsi backend devices we need this patchset: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-scsi/20230123221046.125483-1-michael.christie@oracle.com/T/#m4834a643ffb5bac2529d65d40906d3cfbdd9b1b7 to handle UAs. To reduce the size of this patchset that's being done separately to make reviewing easier. And to make merging easier this patchset and the one above do not have any conflicts so can be merged in different trees.

2023-04-28md/raid5: Improve performance for sequential IOJan Kara
Commit 7e55c60acfbb ("md/raid5: Pivot raid5_make_request()") changed the order in which requests for underlying disks are created. Since for large sequential IO adding of requests frequently races with md_raid5 thread submitting bios to underlying disks, this results in a change in IO pattern because intermediate states of new order of request creation result in more smaller discontiguous requests. For RAID5 on top of three rotational disks our performance testing revealed this results in regression in write throughput: iozone -a -s 131072000 -y 4 -q 8 -i 0 -i 1 -R before 7e55c60acfbb: KB reclen write rewrite read reread 131072000 4 493670 525964 524575 513384 131072000 8 540467 532880 512028 513703 after 7e55c60acfbb: KB reclen write rewrite read reread 131072000 4 421785 456184 531278 509248 131072000 8 459283 456354 528449 543834 To reduce the amount of discontiguous requests we can start generating requests with the stripe with the lowest chunk offset as that has the best chance of being adjacent to IO queued previously.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain: "This only does a few sysctl moves from the kernel/sysctl.c file, the rest of the work has been put towards deprecating two API calls which incur recursion and prevent us from simplifying the registration process / saving memory per move. Most of the changes have been soaking on linux-next since v6.3-rc3. I've slowed down the kernel/sysctl.c moves due to Matthew Wilcox's feedback that we should see if we could *save* memory with these moves instead of incurring more memory. We currently incur more memory since when we move a syctl from kernel/sysclt.c out to its own file we end up having to add a new empty sysctl used to register it. To achieve saving memory we want to allow syctls to be passed without requiring the end element being empty, and just have our registration process rely on ARRAY_SIZE(). Without this, supporting both styles of sysctls would make the sysctl registration pretty brittle, hard to read and maintain as can be seen from Meng Tang's efforts to do just this [0]. Fortunately, in order to use ARRAY_SIZE() for all sysctl registrations also implies doing the work to deprecate two API calls which use recursion in order to support sysctl declarations with subdirectories. And so during this development cycle quite a bit of effort went into this deprecation effort. I've annotated the following two APIs are deprecated and in few kernel releases we should be good to remove them: - register_sysctl_table() - register_sysctl_paths() During this merge window we should be able to deprecate and unexport register_sysctl_paths(), we can probably do that towards the end of this merge window. Deprecating register_sysctl_table() will take a bit more time but this pull request goes with a few example of how to do this. As it turns out each of the conversions to move away from either of these two API calls *also* saves memory. And so long term, all these changes *will* prove to have saved a bit of memory on boot. The way I see it then is if remove a user of one deprecated call, it gives us enough savings to move one kernel/sysctl.c out from the generic arrays as we end up with about the same amount of bytes. Since deprecating register_sysctl_table() and register_sysctl_paths() does not require maintainer coordination except the final unexport you'll see quite a bit of these changes from other pull requests, I've just kept the stragglers after rc3" Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/ZAD+cpbrqlc5vmry@bombadil.infradead.org [0] * tag 'sysctl-6.4-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: (29 commits) fs: fix sysctls.c built mm: compaction: remove incorrect #ifdef checks mm: compaction: move compaction sysctl to its own file mm: memory-failure: Move memory failure sysctls to its own file arm: simplify two-level sysctl registration for ctl_isa_vars ia64: simplify one-level sysctl registration for kdump_ctl_table utsname: simplify one-level sysctl registration for uts_kern_table ntfs: simplfy one-level sysctl registration for ntfs_sysctls coda: simplify one-level sysctl registration for coda_table fs/cachefiles: simplify one-level sysctl registration for cachefiles_sysctls xfs: simplify two-level sysctl registration for xfs_table nfs: simplify two-level sysctl registration for nfs_cb_sysctls nfs: simplify two-level sysctl registration for nfs4_cb_sysctls lockd: simplify two-level sysctl registration for nlm_sysctls proc_sysctl: enhance documentation xen: simplify sysctl registration for balloon md: simplify sysctl registration hv: simplify sysctl registration scsi: simplify sysctl registration with register_sysctl() csky: simplify alignment sysctl registration ...
