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."

This patch contains fixes for persistent grants implementation v2:
* handle == 0 is a valid handle, so initialize grants in blkback
setting the handle to BLKBACK_INVALID_HANDLE instead of 0. Reported
by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk.
* new_map is a boolean, use "true" or "false" instead of 1 and 0.
Reported by Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk.
* blkfront announces the persistent-grants feature as
feature-persistent-grants, use feature-persistent instead which is
consistent with blkback and the public Xen headers.
* Add a consistency check in blkfront to make sure we don't try to
access segments that have not been set.

[v1: The new_map int->bool had already been changed]
Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com>
This patch implements persistent grants for the xen-blk{front,back}
mechanism. The effect of this change is to reduce the number of unmap
operations performed, since they cause a (costly) TLB shootdown. This
allows the I/O performance to scale better when a large number of VMs
are performing I/O.
Previously, the blkfront driver was supplied a bvec[] from the request
queue. This was granted to dom0; dom0 performed the I/O and wrote
directly into the grant-mapped memory and unmapped it; blkfront then
removed foreign access for that grant. The cost of unmapping scales
badly with the number of CPUs in Dom0. An experiment showed that when
Dom0 has 24 VCPUs, and guests are performing parallel I/O to a
ramdisk, the IPIs from performing unmap's is a bottleneck at 5 guests
(at which point 650,000 IOPS are being performed in total). If more
than 5 guests are used, the performance declines. By 10 guests, only
400,000 IOPS are being performed.
This patch improves performance by only unmapping when the connection
between blkfront and back is broken.
On startup blkfront notifies blkback that it is using persistent
grants, and blkback will do the same. If blkback is not capable of
persistent mapping, blkfront will still use the same grants, since it
is compatible with the previous protocol, and simplifies the code
complexity in blkfront.
To perform a read, in persistent mode, blkfront uses a separate pool
of pages that it maps to dom0. When a request comes in, blkfront
transmutes the request so that blkback will write into one of these
free pages. Blkback keeps note of which grefs it has already
mapped. When a new ring request comes to blkback, it looks to see if
it has already mapped that page. If so, it will not map it again. If
the page hasn't been previously mapped, it is mapped now, and a record
is kept of this mapping. Blkback proceeds as usual. When blkfront is
notified that blkback has completed a request, it memcpy's from the
shared memory, into the bvec supplied. A record that the {gref, page}
tuple is mapped, and not inflight is kept.
Writes are similar, except that the memcpy is peformed from the
supplied bvecs, into the shared pages, before the request is put onto
the ring.
Blkback stores a mapping of grefs=>{page mapped to by gref} in
a red-black tree. As the grefs are not known apriori, and provide no
guarantees on their ordering, we have to perform a search
through this tree to find the page, for every gref we receive. This
operation takes O(log n) time in the worst case. In blkfront grants
are stored using a single linked list.
The maximum number of grants that blkback will persistenly map is
currently set to RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST, to
prevent a malicios guest from attempting a DoS, by supplying fresh
grefs, causing the Dom0 kernel to map excessively. If a guest
is using persistent grants and exceeds the maximum number of grants to
map persistenly the newly passed grefs will be mapped and unmaped.
Using this approach, we can have requests that mix persistent and
non-persistent grants, and we need to handle them correctly.
This allows us to set the maximum number of persistent grants to a
lower value than RING_SIZE * BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST, although
setting it will lead to unpredictable performance.
In writing this patch, the question arrises as to if the additional
cost of performing memcpys in the guest (to/from the pool of granted
pages) outweigh the gains of not performing TLB shootdowns. The answer
to that question is `no'. There appears to be very little, if any
additional cost to the guest of using persistent grants. There is
perhaps a small saving, from the reduced number of hypercalls
performed in granting, and ending foreign access.

Pull ADM Xen support from Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk:
Features:
* Allow a Linux guest to boot as initial domain and as normal guests
on Xen on ARM (specifically ARMv7 with virtualized extensions). PV
console, block and network frontend/backends are working.
Bug-fixes:
* Fix compile linux-next fallout.
* Fix PVHVM bootup crashing.
The Xen-unstable hypervisor (so will be 4.3 in a ~6 months), supports
ARMv7 platforms.
The goal in implementing this architecture is to exploit the hardware
as much as possible. That means use as little as possible of PV
operations (so no PV MMU) - and use existing PV drivers for I/Os
(network, block, console, etc). This is similar to how PVHVM guests
operate in X86 platform nowadays - except that on ARM there is no need
for QEMU. The end result is that we share a lot of the generic Xen
drivers and infrastructure.
Details on how to compile/boot/etc are available at this Wiki:
http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Xen_ARMv7_with_Virtualization_Extensions
and this blog has links to a technical discussion/presentations on the
overall architecture:

If the caller passes a valid kmap_op to m2p_add_override, we use
kmap_op->dev_bus_addr to store the original mfn, but dev_bus_addr is
part of the interface with Xen and if we are batching the hypercalls it
might not have been written by the hypervisor yet. That means that later
on Xen will write to it and we'll think that the original mfn is
actually what Xen has written to it.
Rather than "stealing" struct members from kmap_op, keep using
page->index to store the original mfn and add another parameter to
m2p_remove_override to get the corresponding kmap_op instead.
It is now responsibility of the caller to keep track of which kmap_op
corresponds to a particular page in the m2p_override (gntdev, the only
user of this interface that passes a valid kmap_op, is already doing that).

The 'name', 'owner', and 'mod_name' members are redundant with the

switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce
a macro to simplify this.

DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from
the ID table will be used for .driver.name).
Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end()
wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the
'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore
when the macro gets used.

If we want to use granted pages for AIO, changing the mappings of a user
vma and the corresponding p2m is not enough, we also need to update the
kernel mappings accordingly.
Currently this is only needed for pages that are created for user usages
through /dev/xen/gntdev. As in, pages that have been in use by the
kernel and use the P2M will not need this special mapping.
However there are no guarantees that in the future the kernel won't
start accessing pages through the 1:1 even for internal usage.
In order to avoid the complexity of dealing with highmem, we allocated
the pages lowmem.
We issue a HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op right away in
m2p_add_override and we remove the mappings using another
HYPERVISOR_grant_table_op in m2p_remove_override.
Considering that m2p_add_override and m2p_remove_override are called
once per page we use multicalls and hypercall batching.
Use the kmap_op pointer directly as argument to do the mapping as it is
guaranteed to be present up until the unmapping is done.
Before issuing any unmapping multicalls, we need to make sure that the
mapping has already being done, because we need the kmap->handle to be
set correctly.

When do block-attach/block-detach test with below steps, umount hangs
in the guest. Furthermore shutdown ends up being stuck when umounting file-systems.
1. start guest.
2. attach new block device by xm block-attach in Dom0.
3. mount new disk in guest.
4. execute xm block-detach to detach the block device in dom0 until timeout
5. Any request to the disk will hung.
Root cause:
This issue is caused when setting backend device's state to
'XenbusStateClosing', which sends to the frontend the XenbusStateClosing
notification. When frontend receives the notification it tries to release
the disk in blkfront_closing(), but at that moment the disk is still in use
by guest, so frontend refuses to close. Specifically it sets the disk state to
XenbusStateClosing and sends the notification to backend - when backend receives the
event, it disconnects the vbd from real device, and sets the vbd device state to
XenbusStateClosing. The backend disconnects the real device/file, and any IO
requests to the disk in guest will end up in ether, leaving disk DEAD and set to
XenbusStateClosing. When the guest wants to disconnect the disk, umount will
hang on blkif_release()->xlvbd_release_gendisk() as it is unable to send any IO
to the disk, which prevents clean system shutdown.
Solution:
Don't disconnect backend until frontend state switched to XenbusStateClosed.

cciss: do not attempt to read from a write-only register
xen/blkback: Add module alias for autoloading
xen/blkback: Don't let in-flight requests defer pending ones.
bsg: fix address space warning from sparse
bsg: remove unnecessary conditional expressions
bsg: fix bsg_poll() to return POLLOUT properly
Add xen-backend:vbd module alias to the xen-blkback module. This allows
automatic loading of the module.

Running RING_FINAL_CHECK_FOR_REQUESTS from make_response is a bad
idea. It means that in-flight I/O is essentially blocking continued
batches. This essentially kills throughput on frontends which unplug
(or even just notify) early and rightfully assume addtional requests
will be picked up on time, not synchronously.

The sector number on empty barrier requests may (will?) be -1, which,
given that it's being treated as unsigned 64-bit quantity, will almost
always exceed the actual (virtual) disk's size.
Inspired by Konrad's "When writting barriers set the sector number to
zero...".
While at it also add overflow checking to the math in vbd_translate().
