Barrier completion had the following assumptions.
* start_ordered() couldn't finish the whole sequence properly. If all
actions are to be skipped, q->ordseq is set correctly but the actual
completion was never triggered thus hanging the barrier request.
* Drain completion in elv_complete_request() assumed that there's
always at least one request in the queue when drain completes.
Both assumptions are true but these assumptions need to be removed to
improve empty barrier implementation. This patch makes the following
changes.
* Make start_ordered() use blk_ordered_complete_seq() to mark skipped
steps complete and notify __elv_next_request() that it should fetch
the next request if the whole barrier has completed inside
start_ordered().
* Make drain completion path in elv_complete_request() check whether
the queue is empty. Empty queue also indicates drain completion.
* While at it, convert 0/1 return from blk_do_ordered() to false/true.

In all barrier sequences, the barrier write itself was always assumed
to be issued and thus didn't have corresponding control flag. This
patch adds QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_BAR and unify action mask handling in
start_ordered() such that any barrier action can be skipped.
This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

Separate out ordering type (drain,) and action masks (preflush,
postflush, fua) from visible ordering mode selectors
(QUEUE_ORDERED_*). Ordering types are now named QUEUE_ORDERED_BY_*
while action masks are named QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_*.
This change is necessary to add QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_BAR and make it
optional to improve empty barrier implementation.

Allow the scsi request REQ_QUIET flag to be propagated to the buffer
file system layer. The basic ideas is to pass the flag from the scsi
request to the bio (block IO) and then to the buffer layer. The buffer
layer can then suppress needless printks.
This patch declutters the kernel log by removed the 40-50 (per lun)
buffer io error messages seen during a boot in my multipath setup . It
is a good chance any real errors will be missed in the "noise" it the
logs without this patch.
During boot I see blocks of messages like
"
__ratelimit: 211 callbacks suppressed
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242847
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 1
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242878

Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879

Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879
Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242872
"
in my logs.
My disk environment is multipath fiber channel using the SCSI_DH_RDAC
code and multipathd. This topology includes an "active" and "ghost"
path for each lun. IO's to the "ghost" path will never complete and the
SCSI layer, via the scsi device handler rdac code, quick returns the IOs
to theses paths and sets the REQ_QUIET scsi flag to suppress the scsi
layer messages.
I am wanting to extend the QUIET behavior to include the buffer file
system layer to deal with these errors as well. I have been running this
patch for a while now on several boxes without issue. A few runs of
bonnie++ show no noticeable difference in performance in my setup.
Thanks for John Stultz for the quiet_error finalization.

The bnx2x driver actually uses the crc32c_le name so this patch

Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
This patch swaps the role of libcrc32c and crc32c. Previously
the implementation was in libcrc32c and crc32c was a wrapper.
Now the code is in crc32c and libcrc32c just calls the crypto
layer.
The reason for the change is to tap into the algorithm selection
capability of the crypto API so that optimised implementations
such as the one utilising Intel's CRC32C instruction can be
used where available.

It is often useful to save the partial state of a hash function
so that it can be used as a base for two or more computations.
The most prominent example is HMAC where all hashes start from
a base determined by the key. Having an import/export interface
means that we only have to compute that base once rather than
for each message.

This patch allows shash algorithms to be used through the ahash
interface. This is required before we can convert digest algorithms
over to shash.
Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
The shash interface replaces the current synchronous hash interface.
It improves over hash in two ways. Firstly shash is reentrant,
meaning that the same tfm may be used by two threads simultaneously
as all hashing state is stored in a local descriptor.
The other enhancement is that shash no longer takes scatter list
entries. This is because shash is specifically designed for
synchronous algorithms and as such scatter lists are unnecessary.
All existing hash users will be converted to shash once the
algorithms have been completely converted.
There is also a new finup function that combines update with final.
This will be extended to ahash once the algorithm conversion is
done.
This is also the first time that an algorithm type has their own
registration function. Existing algorithm types will be converted
to this way in due course.
Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
This patch reintroduces a completely revamped crypto_alloc_tfm.
The biggest change is that we now take two crypto_type objects
when allocating a tfm, a frontend and a backend. In fact this
simply formalises what we've been doing behind the API's back.
For example, as it stands crypto_alloc_ahash may use an
actual ahash algorithm or a crypto_hash algorithm. Putting
this in the API allows us to do this much more cleanly.
The existing types will be converted across gradually.
Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
The type exit function needs to undo any allocations done by the type
init function. However, the type init function may differ depending
on the upper-level type of the transform (e.g., a crypto_blkcipher
instantiated as a crypto_ablkcipher).
So we need to move the exit function out of the lower-level
structure and into crypto_tfm itself.
As it stands this is a no-op since nobody uses exit functions at
all. However, all cases where a lower-level type is instantiated
as a different upper-level type (such as blkcipher as ablkcipher)
will be converted such that they allocate the underlying transform
and use that instead of casting (e.g., crypto_ablkcipher casted
into crypto_blkcipher). That will need to use a different exit
function depending on the upper-level type.
This patch also allows the type init/exit functions to call (or not)
cra_init/cra_exit instead of always calling them from the top level.
