Merge more incoming from Andrew Morton:
- Various fixes which were stalled or which I picked up recently
- A large rotorooting of the AIO code. Allegedly to improve
performance but I don't really have good performance numbers (I might
have lost the email) and I can't raise Kent today. I held this out
of 3.9 and we could give it another cycle if it's all too late/scary.
I ended up taking only the first two thirds of the AIO rotorooting. I
left the percpu parts and the batch completion for later. - Linus

The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those
only in a couple of drivers) *and* it would've been lost on the way
out anyway, even if something tried to pass something meaningful.

blkdev_aio_read() test 'size' to see if it is equal or greater than the
target count we request(iocb->ki_left). If so there is no need to call
iov_shorten() to reduce number of segments and the iovec's length. So the
judgement should be changed to 'if (size < iocb->ki_left)' instead.

struct block_device lifecycle is defined by its inode (see fs/block_dev.c) -
block_device allocated first time we access /dev/loopXX and deallocated on
bdev_destroy_inode. When we create the device "losetup /dev/loopXX afile"
we want that block_device stay alive until we destroy the loop device
with "losetup -d".
But because we do not hold /dev/loopXX inode its counter goes 0, and
inode/bdev can be destroyed at any moment. Usually it happens at memory
pressure or when user drops inode cache (like in the test below). When later in
loop_clr_fd() we want to use bdev we have use-after-free error with following
stack:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000280
bd_set_size+0x10/0xa0
loop_clr_fd+0x1f8/0x420 [loop]

compat_sys_ioctl+0xc1/0xf20
do_sys_open+0x16e/0x1d0
sysenter_dispatch+0x7/0x1a
To prevent use-after-free we need to grab the device in loop_set_fd()
and put it later in loop_clr_fd().
The issue is reprodusible on current Linus head and v3.3. Here is the test:
dd if=/dev/zero of=loop.file bs=1M count=1
while [ true ]; do
losetup /dev/loop0 loop.file
echo 2 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
losetup -d /dev/loop0
done
[ Doing bdgrab/bput in loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd is safe, because every
time we call loop_set_fd() we check that loop_device->lo_state is
Lo_unbound and set it to Lo_bound If somebody will try to set_fd again
it will get EBUSY. And if we try to loop_clr_fd() on unbound loop
device we'll get ENXIO.
loop_set_fd/loop_clr_fd (and any other loop ioctl) is called under
loop_device->lo_ctl_mutex. ]

We found that bdev->bd_invalidated was left set once revalidate_disk()
is called, which results in page cache flush every time that device is
open.
Specifically, we found this problem in MD block device. Once we resize
a MD device, mdadm --monitor periodically flush all page cache for that
device every 60 or 1000 seconds when it opens the device.
This bug lies since at least 3.2.0 till the latest kernel(3.6.2). Patch
is attached.
The following steps will reproduce the problem.
1. prepair a block device (eg /dev/sdb).
2. create two partitions:
sudo parted /dev/sdb
mklabel gpt
mkpart primary 0% 50%
mkpart primary 50% 100%
3. create a md device.
sudo mdadm -C /dev/md/hoge -l 1 -n 2 -e 1.2 --assume-clean --auto=md --symlink=no /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb2
4. create file system and mount it
sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/md/hoge
sudo mkdir /mnt/test
sudo mount /dev/md/hoge /mnt/test
5. try to resize the device
sudo mdadm -G /dev/md/hoge --size=max
6. create a file to fill file cache.
sudo dd if=/dev/urandom of=/mnt/test/data bs=1M count=10
and verify the current status of file by free command.
7. mdadm monitor will open the md device every 1000 seconds and you
will find all file cache on the device are cleared.
The timing can be reduced by the following steps.
a) kill mdadm and restart it with --delay option
/sbin/mdadm --monitor --delay=30 --pid-file /var/run/mdadm/monitor.pid --daemonise --scan --syslog
or open the md device directly.
sudo dd if=/dev/md/hoge of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1

The direct-IO write path already had the i_size checks in mm/filemap.c,
but it turns out the read path did not, and removing the block size
checks in fs/block_dev.c (commit bbec0270bd: "blkdev_max_block: make
private to fs/buffer.c") removed the magic "shrink IO to past the end of
the device" code there.
Fix it by truncating the IO to the size of the block device, like the
write path already does.
NOTE! I suspect the write path would be *much* better off doing it this
way in fs/block_dev.c, rather than hidden deep in mm/filemap.c. The
mm/filemap.c code is extremely hard to follow, and has various
conditionals on the target being a block device (ie the flag passed in
to 'generic_write_checks()', along with a conditional update of the
inode timestamp etc).
It is also quite possible that we should treat this whole block device
size as a "s_maxbytes" issue, and try to make the logic even more
generic. However, in the meantime this is the fairly minimal targeted
fix.

reencrypt tool.

We really don't want to look at the block size for the raw block device
accesses in fs/block-dev.c, because it may be changing from under us.
So get rid of the max_block logic entirely, since the caller should
already have done it anyway.
That leaves the only user of this function in fs/buffer.c, so move the
whole function there and make it static.

This reverts the block-device direct access code to the previous
unlocked code, now that fs/buffer.c no longer needs external locking.
With this, fs/block_dev.c is back to the original version, apart from a
whitespace cleanup that I didn't want to revert.

Functions generic_file_splice_read and generic_file_splice_write access
the pagecache directly. For block devices these functions must be locked
so that block size is not changed while they are in progress.
This patch is an additional fix for commit b87570f5d3 ("Fix a crash

"Core block IO bits for 3.7. Not a huge round this time, it contains:

- WRITE_SAME support from Martin.
- Mikulas patches to prevent O_DIRECT crashes when someone changes

- Make bio_split() work on data-less bio's (like trim/discards).
- A few other minor fixups."
Fixed up silent semantic mis-merge as per Mikulas Patocka and Andrew
Morton. It is due to the VM no longer using a prio-tree (see commit
6b2dbba8b6: "mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree").
So make set_blocksize() use mapping_mapped() instead of open-coding the
internal VM knowledge that has changed.

This avoids cache line bouncing when many processes lock the semaphore
for read.
New percpu lock implementation
The lock consists of an array of percpu unsigned integers, a boolean
variable and a mutex.
When we take the lock for read, we enter rcu read section, check for a
"locked" variable. If it is false, we increase a percpu counter on the
current cpu and exit the rcu section. If "locked" is true, we exit the
rcu section, take the mutex and drop it (this waits until a writer
finished) and retry.
Unlocking for read just decreases percpu variable. Note that we can
unlock on a difference cpu than where we locked, in this case the
counter underflows. The sum of all percpu counters represents the number
of processes that hold the lock for read.
When we need to lock for write, we take the mutex, set "locked" variable
to true and synchronize rcu. Since RCU has been synchronized, no
processes can create new read locks. We wait until the sum of percpu
counters is zero - when it is, there are no readers in the critical
section.

The kernel may crash when block size is changed and I/O is issued
simultaneously.
Because some subsystems (udev or lvm) may read any block device anytime,
the bug actually puts any code that changes a block device size in
jeopardy.
The crash can be reproduced if you place "msleep(1000)" to
blkdev_get_blocks just before "bh->b_size = max_blocks <<
inode->i_blkbits;".
Then, run "dd if=/dev/ram0 of=/dev/null bs=4k count=1 iflag=direct"
While it is waiting in msleep, run "blockdev --setbsz 2048 /dev/ram0"
You get a BUG.
The direct and non-direct I/O is written with the assumption that block
size does not change. It doesn't seem practical to fix these crashes
one-by-one there may be many crash possibilities when block size changes
at a certain place and it is impossible to find them all and verify the
code.
This patch introduces a new rw-lock bd_block_size_semaphore. The lock is
taken for read during I/O. It is taken for write when changing block
size. Consequently, block size can't be changed while I/O is being
submitted.
For asynchronous I/O, the patch only prevents block size change while
the I/O is being submitted. The block size can change when the I/O is in
progress or when the I/O is being finished. This is acceptable because
there are no accesses to block size when asynchronous I/O is being
finished.
The patch prevents block size changing while the device is mapped with
mmap.
