On error, blkdev_issue_write_zeroes used to recheck the block device's
WRITE SAME queue limits after submitting WRITE SAME bios. As stated in
the comment, the purpose of this was to collapse all IO errors to
EOPNOTSUPP if the effect of issuing bios was that WRITE SAME got turned
off in the queue limits. Therefore, it does not make sense to reuse the
zeroes limit that was read earlier in the function because we only care
about the queue limit *now*, not what it was at the start of the
function.
Found by running generic/351 from fstests.

As reported in [0], we may get a hang when formatting a XFS FS on a RAID0
drive.
Commit 73a768d5f955 ("block: factor out a blk_write_zeroes_limit helper")
changed __blkdev_issue_write_zeroes() to read the max write zeroes
value in the loop. This is not safe as max write zeroes may change in
value. Specifically for the case of [0], the value goes to 0, and we get
an infinite loop.
Lift the limit reading out of the loop.

Zeroout can access a significant capacity and take longer than the user
expected. A user may change their mind about wanting to run that
command and attempt to kill the process and do something else with their
device. But since the task is uninterruptable, they have to wait for it
to finish, which could be many hours.
Add a new BLKDEV_ZERO_KILLABLE flag for blkdev_issue_zeroout that checks
for a fatal signal at each iteration so the user doesn't have to wait for
their regretted operation to complete naturally.
Heavily based on an earlier patch from Keith Busch.

Only fall back from hardware Write Zeroes failures when
blkdev_issue_write_zeroes returns -EOPNOTSUPP;
Note that blkdev_issue_write_zeroes turns any failure into -EOPNOTSUPP
when the write zeroes queue limit has been cleared to 0, so this still
catches all I/O errors where the driver detected missing support
for the hardware acceleration.

Most bio operations get basic sanity checking in submit_bio and anything
more complicated than that is done in the callers. Discards are a bit
different from that in that a lot of checking is done in
__blkdev_issue_discard, and the specific errnos for that are returned
to userspace. Move the checks that require specific errnos to the ioctl
handler instead, and just leave the basic sanity checking in submit_bio
for the other handlers. This introduces two changes in behavior:
1) the logical block size alignment check of the start and len is lost
for non-ioctl callers.
This matches what is done for other operations including reads and
writes. We should probably verify this for all bios, but for now
make discards match the normal flow.
2) for non-ioctl callers all errors are reported on I/O completion now
instead of synchronously. Callers in general mostly ignore or log
errors so this will actually simplify the code once cleaned up

This reverts commit 8a08c5fd89b447a7de7eb293a7a274c46b932ba2.
It turns out while this is a perfectly valid and long overdue thing to do
for user initiated discards / zeroing from the ioctl handler, it actually
breaks file system use of the discard helper by interrupting in places
the file system doesn't expect, and by leaving the bio chain in a state
that the file system callers of (at least) __blkdev_issue_discard do
not expect.
Revert the change for now, we'll redo it for the next merge window
after refactoring the code to better split the file system vs ioctl
callers and cleaning up a few other loose ends.

There's a bug in blkdev_issue_secure_erase. The statement
"unsigned int len = min_t(sector_t, nr_sects, max_sectors);"
sets the variable "len" to the length in sectors, but the statement
"bio->bi_iter.bi_size = len" treats it as if it were in bytes.
The statements "sector += len << SECTOR_SHIFT" and "nr_sects -= len <<
SECTOR_SHIFT" are thinko.
This patch fixes it.

Just use a non-zero max_discard_sectors as an indicator for discard
support, similar to what is done for write zeroes.
The only places where needs special attention is the RAID5 driver,
which must clear discard support for security reasons by default,
even if the default stacking rules would allow for it.

The block layer provides emulation of zone management operations
targeting all zones of a zoned block device only for the zone reset
operation (REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET). In order to correctly implement
exporting of zoned block devices with NVMeOF, emulating zone management
operations targeting all zones of a device is also necessary for the
open, close and finish zone operations (REQ_OP_ZONE_OPEN,
REQ_OP_ZONE_CLOSE and REQ_OP_ZONE_FINISH).
Instead of duplicating the code, export the existing helper from block
layer so we can use a bio chaining pattern that is present in the block
layer for REQ_OP_ZONE RESET all emulation in the NVMeOF zoned block
device backend.

This patch fixes the issue by checking q->limits.discard_granularity in
__blkdev_issue_discard() before composing the discard bio. If the value
is 0, then prints a warning oops information and returns -EOPNOTSUPP to
the caller to indicate that this buggy device driver doesn't support

This patch improves discard bio split for address and size alignment in
__blkdev_issue_discard(). The aligned discard bio may help underlying
device controller to perform better discard and internal garbage
collection, and avoid unnecessary internal fragment.
Current discard bio split algorithm in __blkdev_issue_discard() may have
non-discarded fregment on device even the discard bio LBA and size are
both aligned to device's discard granularity size.
Here is the example steps on how to reproduce the above problem.
- On a VMWare ESXi 6.5 update3 installation, create a 51GB virtual disk
with thin mode and give it to a Linux virtual machine.
- Inside the Linux virtual machine, if the 50GB virtual disk shows up as
/dev/sdb, fill data into the first 50GB by,
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=4096 count=13107200
- Discard the 50GB range from offset 0 on /dev/sdb,
# blkdiscard /dev/sdb -o 0 -l 53687091200
- Observe the underlying mapping status of the device
# sg_get_lba_status /dev/sdb -m 1048 --lba=0

Although the discard bio starts at LBA 0 and has 50<<30 bytes size which
are perfect aligned to the discard granularity, from the above list
these are many 1MB (2048 sectors) internal fragments exist unexpectedly.
The problem is in __blkdev_issue_discard(), an improper algorithm causes
an improper bio size which is not aligned.
25 int __blkdev_issue_discard(struct block_device *bdev, sector_t sector,
26 sector_t nr_sects, gfp_t gfp_mask, int flags,
27 struct bio **biop)
28 {
29 struct request_queue *q = bdev_get_queue(bdev);
[snipped]
56
57 while (nr_sects) {
58 sector_t req_sects = min_t(sector_t, nr_sects,
59 bio_allowed_max_sectors(q));
60
61 WARN_ON_ONCE((req_sects << 9) > UINT_MAX);
62
63 bio = blk_next_bio(bio, 0, gfp_mask);
64 bio->bi_iter.bi_sector = sector;
65 bio_set_dev(bio, bdev);
66 bio_set_op_attrs(bio, op, 0);
67
68 bio->bi_iter.bi_size = req_sects << 9;
69 sector += req_sects;
70 nr_sects -= req_sects;
[snipped]
79 }
80
81 *biop = bio;
82 return 0;
83 }
84 EXPORT_SYMBOL(__blkdev_issue_discard);
At line 58-59, to discard a 50GB range, req_sects is set as return value
of bio_allowed_max_sectors(q), which is 8388607 sectors. In the above
case, the discard granularity is 2048 sectors, although the start LBA
and discard length are aligned to discard granularity, req_sects never
has chance to be aligned to discard granularity. This is why there are
some still-mapped 2048 sectors fragment in every 4 or 8 GB range.
If req_sects at line 58 is set to a value aligned to discard_granularity
and close to UNIT_MAX, then all consequent split bios inside device
driver are (almostly) aligned to discard_granularity of the device
queue. The 2048 sectors still-mapped fragment will disappear.
This patch introduces bio_aligned_discard_max_sectors() to return the
the value which is aligned to q->limits.discard_granularity and closest
to UINT_MAX. Then this patch replaces bio_allowed_max_sectors() with
this new routine to decide a more proper split bio length.
But we still need to handle the situation when discard start LBA is not
aligned to q->limits.discard_granularity, otherwise even the length is
aligned, current code may still leave 2048 fragment around every 4GB
range. Therefore, to calculate req_sects, firstly the start LBA of
discard range is checked (including partition offset), if it is not
aligned to discard granularity, the first split location should make
sure following bio has bi_sector aligned to discard granularity. Then
there won't be still-mapped fragment in the middle of the discard range.
The above is how this patch improves discard bio alignment in
__blkdev_issue_discard(). Now with this patch, after discard with same
command line mentiond previously, sg_get_lba_status returns,
descriptor LBA: 0x0000000000000000 blocks: 106954752 deallocated
descriptor LBA: 0x0000000006600000 blocks: 0 deallocated
We an see there is no 2048 sectors segment anymore, everything is clean.

A discard cleanup merged into 4.20-rc2 causes fstests xfs/259 to
fall into an endless loop in the discard code. The test is creating
a device that is exactly 2^32 sectors in size to test mkfs boundary
conditions around the 32 bit sector overflow region.
mkfs issues a discard for the entire device size by default, and
hence this throws a sector count of 2^32 into
blkdev_issue_discard(). It takes the number of sectors to discard as
a sector_t - a 64 bit value.
The commit ba5d73851e71 ("block: cleanup __blkdev_issue_discard")
takes this sector count and casts it to a 32 bit value before
comapring it against the maximum allowed discard size the device
has. This truncates away the upper 32 bits, and so if the lower 32
bits of the sector count is zero, it starts issuing discards of
length 0. This causes the code to fall into an endless loop, issuing
a zero length discards over and over again on the same sector.

There is no need to synchronously execute all REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET BIOs
necessary to reset a range of zones. Similarly to what is done for
discard BIOs in blk-lib.c, all zone reset BIOs can be chained and
executed asynchronously and a synchronous call done only for the last
BIO of the chain.
Modify blkdev_reset_zones() to operate similarly to
blkdev_issue_discard() using the next_bio() helper for chaining BIOs. To
avoid code duplication of that function in blk_zoned.c, rename
next_bio() into blk_next_bio() and declare it as a block internal
function in blk.h.

blk_queue_split() does respect this limit via bio splitting, so no
need to do that in blkdev_issue_discard(), then we can align to
normal bio submit(bio_add_page() & submit_bio()).
More importantly, this patch fixes one issue introduced in a22c4d7e34402cc
("block: re-add discard_granularity and alignment checks"), in which
zero discard bio may be generated in case of zero alignment.

reloaded with a table that doesn't support discard,
q->limits.max_discard_sectors is set to zero. This results in infinite

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

sd_config_write_same() ignores ->max_ws_blocks == 0 and resets it to
permit trying WRITE SAME on older SCSI devices, unless ->no_write_same
is set. Because REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES is implemented in terms of WRITE
SAME, blkdev_issue_zeroout() may fail with -EREMOTEIO:
$ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg
fallocate: fallocate failed: Remote I/O error
$ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK
$ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK
The following calls succeed because sd_done() sets ->no_write_same in
response to a sense that would become BLK_STS_TARGET/-EREMOTEIO, causing
__blkdev_issue_zeroout() to fall back to generating ZERO_PAGE bios.
This means blkdev_issue_zeroout() must cope with WRITE ZEROES failing
and fall back to manually zeroing, unless BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK is
specified. For BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK case, return -EOPNOTSUPP if
sd_done() has just set ->no_write_same thus indicating lack of offload
support.

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

The BIO issuing loop in __blkdev_issue_zeroout() is allocating BIOs
with a maximum number of bvec (pages) equal to
min(nr_sects, (sector_t)BIO_MAX_PAGES)
This works since the requested number of bvecs will always be limited
to the absolute maximum number supported (BIO_MAX_PAGES), but this is
ineficient as too many bvec entries may be requested due to the
different units being used in the min() operation (number of sectors vs
number of pages).
To fix this, introduce the helper __blkdev_sectors_to_bio_pages() to
correctly calculate the number of bvecs for zeroout BIOs as the issuing
loop progresses. The calculation is done using consistent units and
makes sure that the number of pages return is at least 1 (for cases
where the number of sectors is less that the number of sectors in
a page).
Also remove a trailing space after the bit shift in the internal loop
min() call.

Now that we have REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES implemented for all devices that
support efficient zeroing, we can remove the call to blkdev_issue_discard.
This means we only have two ways of zeroing left and can simplify the
code.
