2017-07-07T16:44:06+00:00

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem. The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al. Summary: - Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The _flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush). - Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush() operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example: /sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache - Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2 namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT (block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS and pre-OS compatibility. - Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test. - Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2) capable. - Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit driver.

dm zoned: fix overflow when converting zone ID to sectors

2017-07-05T20:08:47+00:00

A zone ID is a 32 bits unsigned int which can overflow when doing the bit shifts in dmz_start_sect(). With a 256 MB zone size drive, the overflow happens for a zone ID >= 8192. Fix this by casting the zone ID to a sector_t before doing the bit shift. While at it, similarly fix dmz_start_block(). Signed-off-by: Damien Le Moal Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

bio-integrity: fix interface for bio_integrity_trim

2017-07-03T22:56:22+00:00

bio_integrity_trim inherent it's interface from bio_trim and accept offset and size, but this API is error prone because data offset must always be insync with bio's data offset. That is why we have integrity update hook in bio_advance() So only meaningful values are: offset == 0, sectors == bio_sectors(bio) Let's just remove them completely.

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar: "The main changes in this cycle were: - Add the SYSTEM_SCHEDULING bootup state to move various scheduler debug checks earlier into the bootup. This turns silent and sporadically deadly bugs into nice, deterministic splats. Fix some of the splats that triggered.

Pull core block/IO updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the main pull request for the block layer for 4.13. Not a huge round in terms of features, but there's a lot of churn related to some core cleanups. Note this depends on the UUID tree pull request, that Christoph already sent out. This pull request contains: - A series from Christoph, unifying the error/stats codes in the block layer. We now use blk_status_t everywhere, instead of using different schemes for different places. - Also from Christoph, some cleanups around request allocation and IO scheduler interactions in blk-mq. - And yet another series from Christoph, cleaning up how we handle and do bounce buffering in the block layer. - A blk-mq debugfs series from Bart, further improving on the support we have for exporting internal information to aid debugging IO hangs or stalls. - Also from Bart, a series that cleans up the request initialization differences across types of devices. - A series from Goldwyn Rodrigues, allowing the block layer to return failure if we will block and the user asked for non-blocking. - Patch from Hannes for supporting setting loop devices block size to that of the underlying device. - Two series of patches from Javier, fixing various issues with lightnvm, particular around pblk. - A series from me, adding support for write hints. This comes with NVMe support as well, so applications can help guide data placement on flash to improve performance, latencies, and write amplification. - A series from Ming, improving and hardening blk-mq support for stopping/starting and quiescing hardware queues. - Two pull requests for NVMe updates. Nothing major on the feature side, but lots of cleanups and bug fixes. From the usual crew. - A series from Neil Brown, greatly improving the bio rescue set support. Most notably, this kills the bio rescue work queues, if we don't really need them. - Lots of other little bug fixes that are all over the place" * 'for-4.13/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (217 commits) lightnvm: pblk: set line bitmap check under debug lightnvm: pblk: verify that cache read is still valid lightnvm: pblk: add initialization check lightnvm: pblk: remove target using async.
