Al Viro db2a144bed block_device_operations->release() should return void
The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those
only in a couple of drivers) *and* it would've been lost on the way
out anyway, even if something tried to pass something meaningful.
Just don't bother.

Jens Axboe c2fccc1c9f Revert "loop: cleanup partitions when detaching loop device"
This reverts commit 8761a3dc1f.

There are situations where the destruction path is called
with the bdev->bd_mutex already held, which then deadlocks in
loop_clr_fd(). The normal partition cleanup does a trylock()
on the mutex, but it'd be nice to have a more bullet proof
method in loop. So punt this more involved fix to the next
merge window, and just back out this buggy fix for now.

Anatol Pomozov c1681bf8a7 loop: prevent bdev freeing while device in use
struct block_device lifecycle is defined by its inode (see fs/block_dev.c) -
block_device allocated first time we access /dev/loopXX and deallocated on
bdev_destroy_inode. When we create the device "losetup /dev/loopXX afile"
we want that block_device stay alive until we destroy the loop device
with "losetup -d".

But because we do not hold /dev/loopXX inode its counter goes 0, and
inode/bdev can be destroyed at any moment. Usually it happens at memory
pressure or when user drops inode cache (like in the test below). When later in
loop_clr_fd() we want to use bdev we have use-after-free error with following
stack:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000280
  bd_set_size+0x10/0xa0
  loop_clr_fd+0x1f8/0x420 [loop]
  lo_ioctl+0x200/0x7e0 [loop]
  lo_compat_ioctl+0x47/0xe0 [loop]
  compat_blkdev_ioctl+0x341/0x1290
  do_filp_open+0x42/0xa0
  compat_sys_ioctl+0xc1/0xf20
  do_sys_open+0x16e/0x1d0
  sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x1a

To prevent use-after-free we need to grab the device in loop_set_fd()
and put it later in loop_clr_fd().

The issue is reprodusible on current Linus head and v3.3. Here is the test:

  dd if=/dev/zero of=loop.file bs=1M count=1
  while [ true ]; do
    losetup /dev/loop0 loop.file
    echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
    losetup -d /dev/loop0
  done

[ Doing bdgrab/bput in loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd is safe, because every
  time we call loop_set_fd() we check that loop_device->lo_state is
  Lo_unbound and set it to Lo_bound If somebody will try to set_fd again
  it will get EBUSY.  And if we try to loop_clr_fd() on unbound loop
  device we'll get ENXIO.

  loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd (and any other loop ioctl) is called under
  loop_device->lo_ctl_mutex. ]

Phillip Susi 8761a3dc1f loop: cleanup partitions when detaching loop device
Any partitions added by user space to the loop device were being
left in place after detaching the loop device.  This was because
the detach path issued a BLKRRPART to clean up partitions if
LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN was set, meaning that the partitions were auto
scanned on attach.  Replace this BLKRRPART with code that
unconditionally cleans up partitions on detach instead.

Guo Chao 541c742a75 loopdev: update block device size in loop_set_status()
Loop device driver sometimes fails to impose the size limit on the
device. Keep issuing following two commands:

losetup --offset 7517244416 --sizelimit 3224971264 /dev/loop0 backed_file
blockdev --getsize64 /dev/loop0

blockdev reports file size instead of sizelimit several out of 100 times.

The problems are:

	- losetup set up the device in two ioctl:
		  LOOP_SET_FD and LOOP_SET_STATUS64.

	- LOOP_SET_STATUS64 only update size of gendisk.

Block device size will be updated lazily when device comes to use. If udev
rushes in between the two ioctl, it will bring in a block device whose
size is backing file size. If the device is not released after
LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl, blockdev will not see the updated size.

Update block size in LOOP_SET_STATUS64 ioctl.

Lukas Czerner 7b5a35225b loop: Limit the number of requests in the bio list
Currently there is not limitation of number of requests in the loop bio
list. This can lead into some nasty situations when the caller spawns
tons of bio requests taking huge amount of memory. This is even more
obvious with discard where blkdev_issue_discard() will submit all bios
for the range and wait for them to finish afterwards. On really big loop
devices and slow backing file system this can lead to OOM situation as
reported by Dave Chinner.

With this patch we will wait in loop_make_request() if the number of
bios in the loop bio list would exceed 'nr_congestion_on'.
We'll wake up the process as we process the bios form the list. Some
threshold hysteresis is in place to avoid high frequency oscillation.

Dave Chinner a1ecac3b06 loop: Make explicit loop device destruction lazy
xfstests has always had random failures of tests due to loop devices
failing to be torn down and hence leaving filesytems that cannot be
unmounted. This causes test runs to immediately stop.

Over the past 6 or 7 years we've added hacks like explicit unmount
-d commands for loop mounts, losetup -d after unmount -d fails, etc,
but still the problems persist.  Recently, the frequency of loop
related failures increased again to the point that xfstests 259 will
reliably fail with a stray loop device that was not torn down.

That is despite the fact the test is above as simple as it gets -
loop 5 or 6 times running mkfs.xfs with different paramters:

        lofile=$(losetup -f)
        losetup $lofile "$testfile"
        "$MKFS_XFS_PROG" -b size=512 $lofile >/dev/null || echo "mkfs failed!"
        sync
        losetup -d $lofile

And losteup -d $lofile is failing with EBUSY on 1-3 of these loops
every time the test is run.

Turns out that blkid is running simultaneously with losetup -d, and
so it sees an elevated reference count and returns EBUSY.  But why
is blkid running? It's obvious, isn't it? udev has decided to try
and find out what is on the block device as a result of a creation
notification. And it is racing with mkfs, so might still be scanning
the device when mkfs finishes and we try to tear it down.

So, make losetup -d force autoremove behaviour. That is, when the
last reference goes away, tear down the device. xfstests wants it
*gone*, not causing random teardown failures when we know that all
the operations the tests have specifically run on the device have
completed and are no longer referencing the loop device.

-EIO

Instead of returning -EIO, zero out the bio to avoid information leak in
case of partail read.

Al Viro ff01bb4832 fs: move code out of buffer.c
Move invalidate_bdev, block_sync_page into fs/block_dev.c.  Export
kill_bdev as well, so brd doesn't have to open code it.  Reduce
buffer_head.h requirement accordingly.

Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit
obsolete to bother moving.  The small comment replacing it says enough.

Christoph Hellwig 456be1484f loop: remove the incorrect write_begin/write_end shortcut
Currently the loop device tries to call directly into write_begin/write_end
instead of going through ->write if it can.  This is a fairly nasty shortcut
as write_begin and write_end are only callbacks for the generic write code
and expect to be called with filesystem specific locks held.

This code currently causes various issues for clustered filesystems as it
doesn't take the required cluster locks, and it also causes issues for XFS
as it doesn't properly lock against the swapext ioctl as called by the
defragmentation tools.  This in case causes data corruption if
defragmentation hits a busy loop device in the wrong time window, as
reported by RH QA.

The reason why we have this shortcut is that it saves a data copy when
doing a transformation on the loop device, which is the technical term
for using cryptoloop (or an XOR transformation).  Given that cryptoloop
has been deprecated in favour of dm-crypt my opinion is that we should
simply drop this shortcut instead of finding complicated ways to to
introduce a formal interface for this shortcut.

Automatic partition scanning can be requested individually per loop
device during its setup by setting LO_FLAGS_PARTSCAN. By default, no
partition tables are scanned.

Userspace can now always add and remove partitions from all loop
devices, regardless if the in-kernel partition scanner is enabled or
not.

The needed partition minor numbers are allocated from the extended
minors space, the main loop device numbers will continue to match the
loop minors, regardless of the number of partitions used.

Lukas Czerner dfaa2ef68e loop: add discard support for loop devices
This commit adds discard support for loop devices. Discard is usually
supported by SSD and thinly provisioned devices as a method for
reclaiming unused space. This is no different than trying to reclaim
back space which is not used by the file system on the image, but it
still occupies space on the host file system.

We can do the reclamation on file system which does support hole
punching. So when discard request gets to the loop driver we can
translate that to punch a hole to the underlying file, hence reclaim
the free space.

This is very useful for trimming down the size of the image to only what
is really used by the file system on that image. Fstrim may be used for
that purpose.

It has been tested on ext4, xfs and btrfs with the image file systems
ext4, ext3, xfs and btrfs. ext4, or ext6 image on ext4 file system has
some problems but it seems that ext4 punch hole implementation is
somewhat flawed and it is unrelated to this commit.

Also this is a very good method of validating file systems punch hole
implementation.

Note that when encryption is used, discard support is disabled, because
using it might leak some information useful for possible attacker.

Kay Sievers 770fe30a46 loop: add management interface for on-demand device allocation
Loop devices today have a fixed pre-allocated number of usually 8.
The number can only be changed at module init time. To find a free
device to use, /dev/loop%i needs to be scanned, and all devices need
to be opened until a free one is possibly found.

This adds a new /dev/loop-control device node, that allows to
dynamically find or allocate a free device, and to add and remove loop
devices from the running system:
 LOOP_CTL_ADD adds a specific device. Arg is the number
 of the device. It returns the device i or a negative
 error code.

 LOOP_CTL_REMOVE removes a specific device, Arg is the
 number the device. It returns the device i or a negative
 error code.

 LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE finds the next unbound device or allocates
 a new one. No arg is given. It returns the device i or a
 negative error code.

The loop kernel module gets automatically loaded when
/dev/loop-control is accessed the first time. The alias
specified in the module, instructs udev to create this
'dead' device node, even when the module is not loaded.

Example:
 cfd = open("/dev/loop-control", O_RDWR);

 # add a new specific loop device
 err = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_ADD, devnr);

 # remove a specific loop device
 err = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_REMOVE, devnr);

 # find or allocate a free loop device to use
 devnr = ioctl(cfd, LOOP_CTL_GET_FREE);

 sprintf(loopname, "/dev/loop%i", devnr);
 ffd = open("backing-file", O_RDWR);
 lfd = open(loopname, O_RDWR);
 err = ioctl(lfd, LOOP_SET_FD, ffd);

that how many devices are allowed and how many partitions are supported.

If 'max_loop' is 0, there is no restriction on the number of loop devices.
User can create/use the devices as many as minor numbers available. If
'max_part' is 0, it means simply the device doesn't support partitioning.

Also note that 'max_part' can be adjusted to power of 2 minus 1 form if
needed. User should check this value after the module loading if he/she
want to use that number correctly (i.e. fdisk, mknod, etc.).

After this patch, /dev/loop8 - instead of /dev/loop128 - was

In addition, 'range' passed to blk_register_region() should
include all range of dev_t that LOOP_MAJOR can address. It does
not need to be limited by partition numbers unless 'max_loop'
param was specified.

Namhyung Kim 78f4bb367f loop: limit 'max_part' module param to DISK_MAX_PARTS
The 'max_part' parameter controls the number of maximum partition
a loop block device can have. However if a user specifies very
large value it would exceed the limitation of device minor number
and can cause a kernel panic (or, at least, produce invalid

On my desktop system, following command kills the kernel. On qemu,
it triggers similar oops but the kernel was alive:

Jens Axboe 7eaceaccab block: remove per-queue plugging
Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().

Tejun Heo e83a46bbb1 Merge branch 'for-linus' of ../linux-2.6-block into block-for-2.6.39/core
This merge creates two set of conflicts.  One is simple context
conflicts caused by removal of throtl_scheduled_delayed_work() in
for-linus and removal of throtl_shutdown_timer_wq() in
for-2.6.39/core.

The other is caused by commit 255bb490c8 (block: blk-flush shouldn't
call directly into q->request_fn() __blk_run_queue()) in for-linus
crashing with FLUSH reimplementation in for-2.6.39/core.  The conflict
isn't trivial but the resolution is straight-forward.

* __blk_run_queue() calls in flush_end_io() and flush_data_end_io()
  should be called with @force_kblockd set to %true.

* elv_insert() in blk_kick_flush() should use
  %ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE.

Both changes are to avoid invoking ->request_fn() directly from
request completion path and closely match the changes in the commit
255bb490c8.

Regression since 2a48fc0ab2, which introduced the private
loop_mutex as part of the BKL removal process.

As per [1], the mutex can be safely removed.

Vivek Goyal cd25f54961 loop: No need to initialize ->queue_lock explicitly before calling blk_cleanup_queue()
Now we initialize ->queue_lock at queue allocation time so driver does
not have to worry about initializing it before calling
blk_cleanup_queue().
