block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices

2014-10-04T16:55:32+00:00

Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT. Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy contributions. But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"): - On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they should contribute to the random pool in the first place. - Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead. There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block devices. From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random" sources. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

rsxx: Remove deprecated IRQF_DISABLED

2014-10-01T20:07:39+00:00

This removes the use of the IRQF_DISABLED flag from drivers/block/rsxx/core.c It's a NOOP since 2.6.35 and it will be removed one day. Signed-off-by: Michael Opdenacker Acked-by Philip Kelleher Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

PCI: Remove DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE macro use

2014-08-12T18:15:14+00:00

We should prefer `struct pci_device_id` over `DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE` to meet kernel coding style guidelines. This issue was reported by checkpatch. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): // @@ identifier i; declarer name DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE; initializer z; @@ - DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(i) + const struct pci_device_id i[] = z; // [bhelgaas: add semantic patch] Signed-off-by: Benoit Taine Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas

block: Convert bio_for_each_segment() to bvec_iter

2013-11-24T06:33:49+00:00

More prep work for immutable biovecs - with immutable bvecs drivers won't be able to use the biovec directly, they'll need to use helpers that take into account bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done. This updates callers for the new usage without changing the implementation yet.

block: Abstract out bvec iterator

2013-11-24T06:33:47+00:00

Immutable biovecs are going to require an explicit iterator. To implement immutable bvecs, a later patch is going to add a bi_bvec_done member to this struct; for now, this patch effectively just renames things.

rsxx: Fix possible kernel panic with invalid config.

2013-11-08T16:10:29+00:00

This patch fixes a possible Kernel Panic on driver load if the configuration on the card is messed up or not yet set. The driver could possible give a 32 bit unsigned all Fs to the kernel as the device's block size. Now we only write the block size to the kernel if the configuration from the card is valid. Also, driver version is being updated. Signed-off-by: Philip J Kelleher Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

rsxx: Disallow discards from being unmapped.

2013-11-08T16:10:29+00:00

This patch fixes a bug in which discards were always calling pci_unmap_page. Discards should never call the pci_unmap_page function call because they are never mapped. This caused a race condition on PowerPC systems when issuing discards, writes, and reads all at the same time. The pci_map_page function would eventually map logical address 0 for a read or write. Discards are always assigned a DMA address of 0 because they are never mapped. So if pci_map_page mapped address 0 for a DMA and a discard was "unmapped" then the address would be freed and would cause an EEH event to occur when Hardware accesses the address. This was injected/uncovered in commit: b347f9cf0bc8d42ee95ba1d3837fd93045ab336b The pci_dma_mapping_error function declares -1 a DMA_ERROR not 0 like initially thought So before we would never unmap discards because they were considered NULL. This patch should fall on top of commit id: fc1967bb08a6184ed44ef990e1dd4389901b809c Also, the driver version is being up dated. Signed-off-by: Philip J Kelleher Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

rsxx: Kernel Panic caused by mapping Discards

2013-11-08T16:10:28+00:00

This fixes a kernel panic injected by commit id 8d26750143341831bc312f61c5ed141eeb75b8d0 where discards are getting mapped through the pci_map_page function call. The driver will now start verifying that a dma is not a discard before issuing a the pci_map_page function call. Also, we are updating the driver version.
