This is essentially because the gendisk holds a\nreference to the mddev, and the mddev holds a reference to the\ngendisk, this a circular reference.\n\nIf we drop the reference from mddev to gendisk, then we need to ensure\nthat the mddev is destroyed when the gendisk is destroyed. However it\nis not possible to hook into the gendisk destruction process to enable\nthis.\n\nSo we drop the reference from the gendisk to the mddev and destroy the\ngendisk when the mddev gets destroyed. However this has a\ncomplication.\nBetween the call\n __blkdev_get-\u003eget_gendisk-\u003ekobj_lookup-\u003emd_probe\nand the call\n __blkdev_get-\u003emd_open\n\nthere is no obvious way to hold a reference on the mddev any more, so\nunless something is done, it will disappear and gendisk will be\ndestroyed prematurely.\n\nAlso, once we decide to destroy the mddev, there will be an unlockable\nmoment before the gendisk is unlinked (blk_unregister_region) during\nwhich a new reference to the gendisk can be created. We need to\nensure that this reference can not be used. i.e. the -\u003eopen must\nfail.\n\nSo:\n 1/ in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which\n indicates that the array should be treated as active, even\n though there are no references, and no appearance of activity.\n This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it\n is no longer needed.\n This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and\n md_open.\n\n 2/ In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches\n the gendisk that we did open.\n If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify\n __blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case.\n In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until\n the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so\n we loop at most once.\n\nSome udev configurations will always open an md device when it first\nappears. If we allow an md device that was just created by an open\nto disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev\nconfigurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened\nand closed, then re-open due to the \u0027ADD\u0027 even from the first open,\nand then close and so on.\nSo we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active\nat least until some md \u0027ioctl\u0027 has been made on it. This means that\nall normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly\nwhen not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it\ncause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be\nremoved).\n\nAs an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute\n echo clear \u003e /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state\nwe need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other\nkobjects. This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to\ncomplete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work().\n\n\n\nSigned-off-by: NeilBrown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "94e2959e7a6a4ef0969932c30349ce6f4469a3cf", "tree": "fbab454d5b5696ee3cdc8c0050548ec71a9bdefc", "parents": [ "8c3659347efb43857b2c2d7bc63a9c7d68d1a608" ], "author": { "name": "Randy Dunlap", "email": "randy.dunlap@oracle.com", "time": "Tue Jan 06 14:41:15 2009 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Tue Jan 06 15:59:14 2009 -0800" }, "message": "fs: fix function param name in kernel-doc\n\nFix function parameter name in kernel-doc:\n\nWarning(linux-2.6.28-git5//fs/block_dev.c:1272): No description found for parameter \u0027pathname\u0027\nWarning(linux-2.6.28-git5//fs/block_dev.c:1272): Excess function parameter \u0027path\u0027 description in \u0027lookup_bdev\u0027\n\nSigned-off-by: Randy Dunlap \u003crandy.dunlap@oracle.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "87d8fe1ee6b8d2f95076142d58c440dba4e7bdc2", "tree": "8c91506978a16c22268b086f693e307de0ca57db", "parents": [ "0087d9fb3f29f59e8d42c8b058376d80e5adde4c" ], "author": { "name": "Theodore Ts\u0027o", "email": "tytso@mit.edu", "time": "Sat Jan 03 09:47:09 2009 -0500" }, "committer": { "name": "Theodore Ts\u0027o", "email": "tytso@mit.edu", "time": "Sat Jan 03 09:47:09 2009 -0500" }, "message": "add releasepage hooks to block devices which can be used by file systems\n\nImplement blkdev_releasepage() to release the buffer_heads and pages\nafter we release private data belonging to a mounted filesystem.\n\nCc: Toshiyuki Okajima \u003ctoshi.okajima@jp.fujitsu.com\u003e\nCc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org\nSigned-off-by: \"Theodore Ts\u0027o\" \u003ctytso@mit.edu\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "c2acf7b90821785fe812cc0aa05148e5a1f84204", "tree": "b1fd2a481778c5432237125580b6fc2d2e5d9510", "parents": [ "6badd79bd002788aaec27b50a74ab69ef65ab8ee" ], "author": { "name": "Denis ChengRq", "email": "crquan@gmail.com", "time": "Mon Dec 01 14:34:56 2008 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Al Viro", "email": "viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk", "time": "Wed Dec 31 18:07:43 2008 -0500" }, "message": "fs/block_dev.c: __read_mostly improvement and sb_is_blkdev_sb utilization\n\n- iget5_locked in bdget really needs blockdev_superblock, instead of\n bd_mnt, so bd_mnt could be just a local variable;\n\n- blockdev_superblock really needs __read_mostly, while local var bd_mnt\n not;\n\n- make use of sb_is_blkdev_sb in bd_forget, instead of direct reference\n to blockdev_superblock.\n\nSigned-off-by: Denis ChengRq \u003ccrquan@gmail.com\u003e\nCc: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Al Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "fd4ce1acd0f8558033b1a6968001552bd7671e6d", "tree": "7ce54f2b2c967fe2315917ffa2eb8eb7d47e7a2b", "parents": [ "ebbefc011e56bd85b4745d01e5b8d7d05d95ed5d" ], "author": { "name": "Christoph Hellwig", "email": "hch@lst.de", "time": "Wed Nov 05 14:58:42 2008 +0100" }, "committer": { "name": "Al Viro", "email": "viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk", "time": "Thu Dec 04 04:22:57 2008 -0500" }, "message": "[PATCH 1/2] kill FMODE_NDELAY_NOW\n\nUpdate FMODE_NDELAY before each ioctl call so that we can kill the\nmagic FMODE_NDELAY_NOW.

It also\nremoves a potential security hole where we might keep old data around\nfrom beyond the end of the shrunk disk if the disk was not invalidated.\n\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Patterson \u003candrew.patterson@hp.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003cjens.axboe@oracle.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "56ade44b46780fa291fa68b824f1dafdcb11b0ca", "tree": "2232dc9a9e6b080428e4e6e0a32bcc7c83cc1731", "parents": [ "f98a8cae12f2b2a8f9bfd7a53c990a1a405e880e" ], "author": { "name": "Andrew Patterson", "email": "andrew.patterson@hp.com", "time": "Thu Sep 04 14:27:40 2008 -0600" }, "committer": { "name": "Jens Axboe", "email": "jens.axboe@oracle.com", "time": "Thu Oct 09 08:56:13 2008 +0200" }, "message": "Added flush_disk to factor out common buffer cache flushing code.\n\nWe need to be able to flush the buffer cache for for more than\njust when a disk is changed, so we factor out common cache flush code\nin check_disk_change() to an internal flush_disk() routine.

The callback is\nperformed before each freeing of an object.\n\nI would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually\nbefore the free. That also places the check near the code object\nmanipulation of the object.\n\nAlso the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was\ncompiled with SLAB debugging on.

The involves some limited recursion.\nThis patch tries to simplify some aspects of this.\n\nAs well as opening the whole device, we need to increment -\u003ebd_part_count when\na partition is opened (this is used by rescan_partitions to avoid a rescan if\nany partition is active, as that would be confusing).\n\nThe main change this patch makes is to move the inc/dec of bd_part_count into\nblkdev_{get,put} for the whole rather than doing it in blkdev_{get,put} for\nthe partition.\n\nMore specifically, we introduce __blkdev_get and __blkdev_put which do exactly\nwhat blkdev_{get,put} did, only with an extra \"for_part\" argument\n(blkget_{get,put} then call the __ version with a \u00270\u0027 for the extra argument).\n\nIf for_part is 1, then the blkdev is being get(put) because a partition is\nbeing opened(closed) for the first(last) time, and so bd_part_count should be\nupdated (on success). The particular advantage of pushing this function down\nis that the bd_mutex lock (which is needed to update bd_part_count) is already\nheld at the lower level.\n\nNote that this slightly changes the semantics of bd_part_count. Instead of\nupdating it whenever a partition is opened or released, it is now only updated\non the first open or last release. This is an adequate semantic as it is only\never tested for \"\u003d\u003d 0\".\n\nHaving introduced these functions we remove the current bd_part_count updates\nfrom do_open (which is really the body of blkdev_get) and call\n__blkdev_get(... 1). Similarly in blkget_put we remove the old bd_part_count\nupdates and call __blkget_put(..., 1). This call is moved to the end of\n__blkdev_put to avoid nested locks of bd_mutex.\n\nFinally the mutex_lock on whole-\u003ebd_mutex in do_open can be removed. It was\nonly really needed to protect bd_part_count, and that is now managed (and\nprotected) within the recursive call.\n\nThe observation that bd_part_count is central to the locking issues, and the\nmodifications to create __blkdev_put are from Peter Zijlstra.\n\nCc: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@elte.hu\u003e\nAcked-by: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Neil Brown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@osdl.org\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "fd27c7a1bfa9801544ca961cdb4ca0b4998580b8", "tree": "44749ea9d81931cbe5a753b972f6b9fde92a6496", "parents": [ "35a6027f1ab6594068cb8bca7705e4567753946b" ], "author": { "name": "NeilBrown", "email": "neilb@suse.de", "time": "Fri Dec 08 02:36:14 2006 -0800" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@woody.osdl.org", "time": "Fri Dec 08 08:28:38 2006 -0800" }, "message": "[PATCH] lockdep: remove lock_key approach to managing nested bd_mutex locks\n\nThe extra call to get_gendisk is not good.
