This patch separates the device deletion code from dm_put()
to make sure the deletion happens in the process context.
By this patch, device deletion always occurs in an ioctl (process)
context and dm_put() can be called in interrupt context.
As a result, the request-based dm's bad dm_put() usage pointed out
by Mikulas below disappears.
http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=126699981019735&w=2
Without this patch, I confirmed there is a case to crash the system:
dm_put() => dm_table_destroy() => vfree() => BUG_ON(in_interrupt())
Some more backgrounds and details:
In request-based dm, a device opener can remove a mapped_device
while the last request is still completing, because bios in the last
request complete first and then the device opener can close and remove
the mapped_device before the last request completes:
CPU0 CPU1
=================================================================
<<INTERRUPT>>
blk_end_request_all(clone_rq)
blk_update_request(clone_rq)
bio_endio(clone_bio) == end_clone_bio
blk_update_request(orig_rq)
bio_endio(orig_bio)
<<I/O completed>>
dm_blk_close()
dev_remove()
dm_put(md)
<<Free md>>
blk_finish_request(clone_rq)
....
dm_end_request(clone_rq)
free_rq_clone(clone_rq)
blk_end_request_all(orig_rq)
rq_completed(md)
So request-based dm used dm_get()/dm_put() to hold md for each I/O
until its request completion handling is fully done.
However, the final dm_put() can call the device deletion code which
must not be run in interrupt context and may cause kernel panic.
To solve the problem, this patch moves the device deletion code,
dm_destroy(), to predetermined places that is actually deleting
the mapped_device in ioctl (process) context, and changes dm_put()
just to decrement the reference count of the mapped_device.
By this change, dm_put() can be used in any context and the symmetric
model below is introduced:
dm_create(): create a mapped_device
dm_destroy(): destroy a mapped_device
dm_get(): increment the reference count of a mapped_device
dm_put(): decrement the reference count of a mapped_device
dm_destroy() waits for all references of the mapped_device to disappear,
then deletes the mapped_device.
dm_destroy() uses active waiting with msleep(1), since deleting
the mapped_device isn't performance-critical task.
And since at this point, nobody opens the mapped_device and no new
reference will be taken, the pending counts are just for racing
completing activity and will eventually decrease to zero.
For the unlikely case of the forced module unload, dm_destroy_immediate(),
which doesn't wait and forcibly deletes the mapped_device, is also
introduced and used in dm_hash_remove_all(). Otherwise, "rmmod -f"
may be stuck and never return.
And now, because the mapped_device is deleted at this point, subsequent
accesses to the mapped_device may cause NULL pointer references.

This patch changes dm_hash_remove_all() to release _hash_lock when
removing a device. After removing the device, dm_hash_remove_all()
takes _hash_lock and searches the hash from scratch again.
This patch is a preparation for the next patch, which changes device
deletion code to wait for md reference to be 0. Without this patch,
the wait in the next patch may cause AB-BA deadlock:

Iterate both origin and snapshot devices
iterate_devices method should call the callback for all the devices where
the bio may be remapped. Thus, snapshot_iterate_devices should call the callback
for both snapshot and origin underlying devices because it remaps some bios
to the snapshot and some to the origin.
snapshot_iterate_devices called the callback only for the origin device.
This led to badly calculated device limits if snapshot and origin were placed

Implement the ability for the root directory of a mounted AFS filesystem to
accept lookups of arbitrary directory names, to interpet the names as the names
of cells, to look the cell names up in the DNS for AFSDB records and to mount
the root.cell volume of the nominated cell on the pseudo-directory created by
lookup.
This facility is requested by passing:
-o autocell
to the mountpoint for which this is desired, usually the /afs mount.
To use this facility, a DNS upcall program is required for AFSDB records. This
can be obtained from:
http://people.redhat.com/~dhowells/afs/dns.afsdb.c
It should be compiled with -lresolv and -lkeyutils and installed as, say:
/usr/sbin/dns.afsdb
Then the following line needs to be added to /sbin/request-key.conf:
create dns_resolver afsdb:* * /usr/sbin/dns.afsdb %k
This can be tested by mounting AFS, say:
insmod dns_resolver.ko
insmod af-rxrpc.ko
insmod kafs.ko rootcell=grand.central.org
mount -t afs "#grand.central.org:root.cell." /afs -o autocell
and doing:
ls /afs/grand.central.org/
which should show:

If the DNS server returns an error, allow that to be cached in the DNS resolver
key in lieu of a value. Userspace passes the desired error number as an option
in the payload:
"#dnserror=<number>"
Userspace must map h_errno from the name resolution routines to an appropriate
Linux error before passing it up. Something like the following mapping is
recommended:
[HOST_NOT_FOUND] = ENODATA,
[TRY_AGAIN] = EAGAIN,
[NO_RECOVERY] = ECONNREFUSED,
[NO_DATA] = ENODATA,
in lieu of Linux errors specifically for representing name service errors. The
filesystem must map these errors appropropriately before passing them to
userspace. AFS is made to map ENODATA and EAGAIN to EDESTADDRREQ for the
return to userspace; ECONNREFUSED is allowed to stand as is.
The error can be seen in /proc/keys as a negative number after the description
of the key. Compare, for example, the following key entries:
2f97238c I--Q-- 1 53s 3f010000 0 0 dns_resol afsdb:grand.centrall.org: -61
338bfbbe I--Q-- 1 59m 3f010000 0 0 dns_resol afsdb:grand.central.org: 37
If the error option is supplied in the payload, the main part of the payload is
discarded. The key should have an expiry time set by userspace.

There are different types of a fifo which can not handled in C without a
lot of overhead. So i decided to write the API as a set of macros, which
is the only way to do a kind of template meta programming without C++.
This macros handles the different types of fifos in a transparent way.
There are a lot of benefits:
- Compile time handling of the different fifo types
- Better performance (a save put or get of an integer does only generate
9 assembly instructions on a x86)
- Type save
- Cleaner interface, the additional kfifo_..._rec() functions are gone
- Easier to use
- Less error prone
- Different types of fifos: it is now possible to define a int fifo or
any other type. See below for an example.
- Smaller footprint for none byte type fifos
- No need of creating a second hidden variable, like in the old DEFINE_KFIFO
The API was not changed.
There are now real in place fifos where the data space is a part of the
structure. The fifo needs now 20 byte plus the fifo space. Dynamic
assigned or allocated create a little bit more code.
Most of the macros code will be optimized away and simple generate a
function call. Only the really small one generates inline code.
Additionally you can now create fifos for any data type, not only the
"unsigned char" byte streamed fifos.
There is also a new kfifo_put and kfifo_get function, to handle a single
element in a fifo. This macros generates inline code, which is lit bit
larger but faster.
I know that this kind of macros are very sophisticated and not easy to
maintain. But i have all tested and it works as expected. I analyzed the
output of the compiler and for the x86 the code is as good as hand written
assembler code. For the byte stream fifo the generate code is exact the
same as with the current kfifo implementation. For all other types of
fifos the code is smaller before, because the interface is easier to use.
The main goal was to provide an API which is very intuitive, save and easy
to use. So linux will get now a powerful fifo API which provides all what
a developer needs. This will save in the future a lot of kernel space,
since there is no need to write an own implementation. Most of the device
driver developers need a fifo, and also deep kernel development will gain
benefit from this API.
Here are the results of the text section usage:
Example 1:
kfifo_put/_get kfifo_in/out current kfifo
dynamic allocated 0x000002a8 0x00000291 0x00000299
in place 0x00000291 0x0000026e 0x00000273
kfifo.c new old
text section size 0x00000be5 0x000008b2
As you can see, kfifo_put/kfifo_get creates a little bit more code than
kfifo_in/kfifo_out, but it is much faster (the code is inline).
The code is complete hand crafted and optimized. The text section size is
as small as possible. You get all the fifo handling in only 3 kb. This
includes type safe fix size records, dynamic records and DMA handling.
This should be the final version. All requested features are implemented.
Note: Most features of this API doesn't have any users. All functions
which are not used in the next 9 months will be removed. So, please adapt
your drivers and other sources as soon as possible to the new API and post
it.
This are the features which are currently not used in the kernel:
kfifo_to_user()
kfifo_from_user()
kfifo_dma_....() macros
kfifo_esize()
kfifo_recsize()
kfifo_put()
kfifo_get()
The fixed size record elements, exclude "unsigned char" fifo's and the
variable size records fifo's
This patch:
User of the kernel fifo should never bypass the API and directly access
the fifo structure. Otherwise it will be very hard to maintain the API.
