scatterlist: allow chaining to preallocated chunks
Blk-mq drivers usually preallocate their S/G list as part of the request,
but if we want to support the very large S/G lists currently supported by
the SCSI code that would tie up a lot of memory in the preallocated request
pool. Add support to the scatterlist code so that it can initialize a
S/G list that uses a preallocated first chunks and dynamically allocated
additional chunks. That way the scsi-mq code can preallocate a first
page worth of S/G entries as part of the request, and dynamically extend
the S/G list when needed.

lib/scatterlist.c: don't flush_kernel_dcache_page on slab page
Commit b1adaf65ba03 ("[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper
functions") introduces two sg buffer copy helpers, and calls
flush_kernel_dcache_page() on pages in SG list after these pages are
written to.
Unfortunately, the commit may introduce a potential bug:
- Before sending some SCSI commands, kmalloc() buffer may be passed to
block layper, so flush_kernel_dcache_page() can see a slab page
finally
- According to cachetlb.txt, flush_kernel_dcache_page() is only called
on "a user page", which surely can't be a slab page.
- ARCH's implementation of flush_kernel_dcache_page() may use page
mapping information to do optimization so page_mapping() will see the
slab page, then VM_BUG_ON() is triggered.
Aaro Koskinen reported the bug on ARM/kirkwood when DEBUG_VM is enabled,
and this patch fixes the bug by adding test of '!PageSlab(miter->page)'
before calling flush_kernel_dcache_page().

lib/scatterlist: factor out sg_miter_get_next_page() from sg_miter_next()
This patchset introduces sg_pcopy_from_buffer() and sg_pcopy_to_buffer(),
which copy data between a linear buffer and an SG list.
The only difference between sg_pcopy_{from,to}_buffer() and
sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() is an additional argument that specifies the
number of bytes to skip the SG list before copying.
The main reason for introducing these functions is to fix a problem in
scsi_debug module. And there is a local function in crypto/talitos
module, which can be replaced by sg_pcopy_to_buffer().
This patch:
sg_miter_get_next_page() is used to proceed page iterator to the next page
if necessary, and will be used to implement the variants of
sg_copy_{from,to}_buffer() later.

lib/scatterlist: sg_page_iter: support sg lists w/o backing pages
The i915 driver uses sg lists for memory without backing 'struct page'
pages, similarly to other IO memory regions, setting only the DMA
address for these. It does this, so that it can program the HW MMU
tables in a uniform way both for sg lists with and without backing pages.
Without a valid page pointer we can't call nth_page to get the current
page in __sg_page_iter_next, so add a helper that relevant users can
call separately. Also add a helper to get the DMA address of the current
page (idea from Daniel).
Convert all places in i915, to use the new API.

about the allocation coming from a memory pool. This was likely true
when sg lists were primarily used for disk I/O.

scatterlist: add sg_alloc_table_from_pages function
This patch adds a new constructor for an sg table. The table is constructed
from an array of struct pages. All contiguous chunks of the pages are merged
into a single sg nodes. A user may provide an offset and a size of a buffer if
the buffer is not page-aligned.
The function is dedicated for DMABUF exporters which often perform conversion
from an page array to a scatterlist. Moreover the scatterlist should be
squashed in order to save memory and to speed-up the process of DMA mapping
using dma_map_sg.
The code is based on the patch 'v4l: vb2-dma-contig: add support for
scatterlist in userptr mode' and hints from Laurent Pinchart.

When alloc fails, free_table is being called. Depending on the number of
bytes requested, we determine if we are going to call _get_free_page()

and the last buffer is wrongfully assumed to have been allocated by
kmalloc. Hence, kfree gets called and a panic occurs.

lib/scatterlist: Hook sg_kmalloc into kmemleak (v2)
kmemleak ignores page_alloc() and so believes the final sub-page
allocation using the plain kmalloc is decoupled and lost. This leads to
lots of false-positives with code that uses scatterlists.
The options seem to be either to tell kmemleak that the kmalloc is not
leaked or to notify kmemleak of the page allocations. The danger of the
first approach is that we may hide a real leak, so choose the latter
approach (of which I am not sure of the downsides).

Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> |
include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

scatterlist: make sure sg_miter_next() doesn't return 0 sized mappings
Impact: fix not-so-critical but annoying bug
sg_miter_next() returns 0 sized mapping if there is an zero sized sg
entry in the list or at the end of each iteration. As the users
always check the ->length field, this bug shouldn't be critical other
than causing unnecessary iteration.
Fix it.

lib/scatterlist.c: fix kunmap() argument in sg_miter_stop()
kunmap() takes as argument the struct page that orginally got kmap()'d,
however the sg_miter_stop() function passed it the kernel virtual address
instead, resulting in weird stuff.
Somehow I ended up fixing this bug by accident while looking for a bug in
the same area.

sg: disable interrupts inside sg_copy_buffer
The callers of sg_copy_buffer must disable interrupts before calling
it (since it uses kmap_atomic). Some callers use it on
interrupt-disabled code but some need to take the trouble to disable
interrupts just for this. No wonder they forget about it and we hit a
bug like:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11529
James said that it might be better to disable interrupts inside the
function rather than risk the callers getting it wrong.

sg: reimplement sg mapping iterator
This is alternative implementation of sg content iterator introduced
by commit 83e7d317... from Pierre Ossman in next-20080716. As there's
already an sg iterator which iterates over sg entries themselves, name
this sg_mapping_iterator.
Slightly edited description from the original implementation follows.
Iteration over a sg list is not that trivial when you take into
account that memory pages might have to be mapped before being used.
Unfortunately, that means that some parts of the kernel restrict
themselves to directly accesible memory just to not have to deal with
the mess.
This patch adds a simple iterator system that allows any code to
easily traverse an sg list and not have to deal with all the details.
The user can decide to consume part of the iteration. Also, iteration
can be stopped and resumed later if releasing the kmap between
iteration steps is necessary. These features are useful to implement
piecemeal sg copying for interrupt drive PIO for example.

[SCSI] block: add sg buffer copy helper functions
This patch adds new three helper functions to copy data between an SG
list and a linear buffer.
- sg_copy_from_buffer copies data from linear buffer to an SG list
- sg_copy_to_buffer copies data from an SG list to a linear buffer
When the APIs copy data from a linear buffer to an SG list,
flush_kernel_dcache_page is called. It's not necessary for everyone
but it's a no-op on most architectures and in general the API is not
used in performance critical path.

SG: work with the SCSI fixed maximum allocations.
SCSI sg table allocation has a maximum size (of SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS,
currently 128) and this will cause a BUG_ON() in SCSI if something
tries an allocation over it. This patch adds a size limit to the
chaining allocator to allow the specification of the maximum
allocation size for chaining, so we always chain in units of the
maximum SCSI allocation size.
