9 years agoNVMe: Register management handle under nvme class
Keith Busch [Tue, 3 Feb 2015 18:21:42 +0000 (11:21 -0700)]
NVMe: Register management handle under nvme class

This creates a new class type for nvme devices to register their
management character devices with. This is so we do not rely on miscdev
to provide enough minors for as many nvme devices some people plan to
use. The previous limit was approximately 60 NVMe controllers, depending
on the platform and kernel. Now the limit is 1M, which ought to be enough
for anybody.

Since we have a new device class, it makes sense to attach the block
devices under this as well, so part of this patch moves the management
handle initialization prior to the namespaces discovery.

9 years agoNVMe: Update SCSI Inquiry VPD 83h translation
Keith Busch [Thu, 19 Feb 2015 20:42:14 +0000 (13:42 -0700)]
NVMe: Update SCSI Inquiry VPD 83h translation

The original translation created collisions on Inquiry VPD 83 for many
existing devices. Newer specifications provide other ways to translate
based on the device's version can be used to create unique identifiers.

Version 1.1 provides an EUI64 field that uniquely identifies each
namespace, and 1.2 added the longer NGUID field for the same reason.
Both follow the IEEE EUI format and readily translate to the SCSI device
identification EUI designator type 2h. For devices implementing either,
the translation will use this type, defaulting to the EUI64 8-byte type if
implemented then NGUID's 16 byte version if not. If neither are provided,
the 1.0 translation is used, and is updated to use the SCSI String format
to guarantee a unique identifier.

Knowing when to use the new fields depends on the nvme controller's
revision. The NVME_VS macro was not decoding this correctly, so that is
fixed in this patch and moved to a more appropriate place.

Since the Identify Namespace structure required an update for the NGUID
field, this patch adds the remaining new 1.2 fields to the structure.

9 years agoNVMe: Metadata format support
Keith Busch [Thu, 19 Feb 2015 20:39:03 +0000 (13:39 -0700)]
NVMe: Metadata format support

Adds support for NVMe metadata formats and exposes block devices for
all namespaces regardless of their format. Namespace formats that are
unusable will have disk capacity set to 0, but a handle to the block
device is created to simplify device management. A namespace is not
usable when the format requires host interleave block and metadata in
single buffer, has no provisioned storage, or has better data but failed
to register with blk integrity.

The namespace has to be scanned in two phases to support separate
metadata formats. The first establishes the sector size and capacity
prior to invoking add_disk. If metadata is required, the capacity will
be temporarilly set to 0 until it can be revalidated and registered with
the integrity extenstions after add_disk completes.

The driver relies on the integrity extensions to provide the metadata
buffer. NVMe requires this be a single physically contiguous region,
so only one integrity segment is allowed per command. If the metadata
is used for T10 PI, the driver provides mappings to save and restore
the reftag physical block translation. The driver provides no-op
functions for generate and verify if metadata is not used for protection
information. This way the setup is always provided by the block layer.

If a request does not supply a required metadata buffer, the command
is failed with bad address. This could only happen if a user manually
disables verify/generate on such a disk. The only exception to where
this is okay is if the controller is capable of stripping/generating
the metadata, which is possible on some types of formats.

The metadata scatter gather list now occupies the spot in the nvme_iod
that used to be used to link retryable IOD's, but we don't do that
anymore, so the field was unused.

md/raid5: Fix livelock when array is both resyncing and degraded.

Commit a7854487cd7128a30a7f4f5259de9f67d5efb95f:
  md: When RAID5 is dirty, force reconstruct-write instead of read-modify-write.

Causes an RCW cycle to be forced even when the array is degraded.
A degraded array cannot support RCW as that requires reading all data
blocks, and one may be missing.

Forcing an RCW when it is not possible causes a live-lock and the code
spins, repeatedly deciding to do something that cannot succeed.

So change the condition to only force RCW on non-degraded arrays.

9 years agoscripts/gdb: port to python3 / gdb7.7
Pantelis Koukousoulas [Tue, 17 Feb 2015 21:47:35 +0000 (13:47 -0800)]
scripts/gdb: port to python3 / gdb7.7

I tried to use these scripts in an ubuntu 14.04 host (gdb 7.7 compiled
against python 3.3) but there were several errors.

I believe this patch fixes these issues so that the commands now work (I
tested lx-symbols, lx-dmesg, lx-lsmod).

Main issues that needed to be resolved:

  * In python 2 iterators have a "next()" method. In python 3 it is
    __next__() instead (so let's just add both).

  * In older python versions there was an implicit conversion
    in object.__format__() (used when an object is in string.format())
    where it was converting the object to str first and then
    calling str's __format__(). This has now been removed so
    we must explicitly convert to str the objects for which
    we need to keep this behavior.

  * In dmesg.py: in python 3 log_buf is now a "memoryview" object
    which needs to be converted to a string in order to use string
    methods like "splitlines()". Luckily memoryview exists in
    python 2.7.6 as well, so we can convert log_buf to memoryview
    and use the same code in both python 2 and python 3.

This version of the patch has now been tested with gdb 7.7 and both python
3.4 and python 2.7.6 (I think asking for at least python 2.7.6 is a
reasonable requirement instead of complicating the code with version
checks etc).

This provides the basic infrastructure to load kernel-specific python

The loading mechanism is based on gdb loading for <objfile>-gdb.py when
opening <objfile>.  Therefore, this places a corresponding link to the
main helper script into the output directory that contains vmlinux.

The main scripts will pull in submodules containing Linux specific gdb
commands and functions.  To avoid polluting the source directory with
compiled python modules, we link to them from the object directory.

Due to gdb.parse_and_eval and string redirection for gdb.execute, we
depend on gdb >= 7.2.

This feature is enabled via CONFIG_GDB_SCRIPTS.

because of the way we drop the lock after calling poll_wait, and drop it
again before returning, we have the same pile of races with the lock as
we do with a single read of ctx->count().

This replaces the lock with a read barrier and single read.

eventfd_write does a single bump of ctx->count, so this should not add
new races with adding events.  eventfd_read is similar, it will do a
single decrement with the lock held, and so we're making the race with
concurrent readers slightly larger.

This spinlock is the top CPU user in kernel code during one of our

This kind of note entry should be dropped during updating p_memsz.  But
because n_namesz is 32bit, after (n_namesz + 3) & (~3), it's overflow to
0x0, the note entry size looks sane and reserved.

When userspace (eg.  crash utility) is trying to access such bogus note,
it could lead to an unexpected behavior (eg.  crash utility segment fault
because it's reading bogus address).

The source of bogus note hasn't been identified yet.  At least we could

watchdog: dw_wdt: Try to get a 30 second watchdog by default

The dw_wdt_set_top() function takes in a value in seconds.  In
dw_wdt_open() we were calling it with a value that's supposed to
represent the maximum value programmed into the "top" register with a
comment saying that we were trying to set the watchdog to its maximum
value.  Instead we ended up setting the watchdog to ~15 seconds.

Let's fix this.  However, setting things to the "max" gives me an 86
second watchdog in the system I'm looking at.  86 seconds feels a
little too long.  We'll explicitly choose 30 seconds as a more
reasonable value.

NOTE: Ideally this driver should be transitioned to be a real watchdog
driver.  Then we could use "watchdog_init_timeout" and let the timeout
be specified in a number of ways (device tree, module parameter, etc).

watchdog: dw_wdt: pat the watchdog before enabling it

On some dw_wdt implementations the "top" register may be initted to 0
at bootup.  In such a case, each "pat" of the watchdog will reset the
timer to 0xffff.  That's pretty short.

The input clock of the wdt can be any of a wide range of values.  On
an rk3288 system, I've seen the wdt clock be 24.75 MHz.  That means
each tick is ~40ns and we'll count to 0xffff in ~2.6ms.

Because of the above two facts, it's a really good idea to pat the
watchdog after initting the "top" register properly and before
enabling the watchdog.  If you don't then there's no way we'll get the
next heartbeat in time.

Jisheng Zhang fixed this problem on some dw_wdt versions by using the
TOP_INIT feature.  However, the dw_wdt on rk3288 doesn't have TOP_INIT
so it's a good idea to also pat the watchdog manually.
