[PATCH v4 0/3] Rework handling of scsi_device.vpd_pg8[03]

[PATCH v4 0/3] Rework handling of scsi_device.vpd_pg8[03]

[Bart Van Assche]

Hello Martin,

The conclusion of a recent discussion about the handling of SCSI device VPD
data is that the code should be reworked such that that data is freed through
kfree_rcu() instead of kfree(). The three patches in this series realize this
and also simplify the VPD code. Please consider these patches for kernel
v4.14.

Thanks,

Bart.

Changes between v3 and v4:
- Reworked patch 1/3 as requested by Paul E. McKenney.
- Added Acked-by / Reviewed-by tags.

Changes between v2 and v3:
- Added a third patch that introduces rcu_swap_protected().
- Introduced scsi_update_vpd_page().
- Skip VPD buffer updating if querying VPD data fails.
- Fix a race condition in the VPD sysfs show method.

Changes between v1 and v2:
- Split the VPD rework into two patches.
- Introduced struct scsi_vpd and scsi_get_vpd_buf().

  rcu: Introduce rcu_swap_protected()

[PATCH v4 1/3] rcu: Introduce rcu_swap_protected()

[Bart Van Assche]

A common pattern in RCU code is to assign a new value to an RCU
pointer after having read and stored the old value. Introduce a
macro for this pattern.

[PATCH v4 2/3] Rework the code for caching Vital Product Data (VPD)

[Bart Van Assche]

Introduce the scsi_get_vpd_buf() and scsi_update_vpd_page()
functions. The only functional change in this patch is that if
updating page 0x80 fails that it is attempted to update page 0x83.

[Christoph Hellwig]

Looks good,

[PATCH v4 3/3] Rework handling of scsi_device.vpd_pg8[03]

[Bart Van Assche]

Introduce struct scsi_vpd for the VPD page length, data and the
RCU head that will be used to free the VPD data. Use kfree_rcu()
instead of kfree() to free VPD data. Move the VPD buffer pointer
check inside the RCU read lock in the sysfs code. Only annotate
pointers that are shared across threads with __rcu. Use
rcu_dereference() when dereferencing an RCU pointer. This patch
suppresses about twenty sparse complaints about the vpd_pg8[03]
pointers. This patch also fixes a race condition, namely that
updating of the VPD pointers and length variables in struct
scsi_device was not atomic with reference to the code reading
these variables. See also "Does the update code tolerate concurrent
accesses?" in Documentation/RCU/checklist.txt.

Fixes: commit 09e2b0b14690 ("scsi: rescan VPD attributes")

RE: [PATCH v4 3/3] Rework handling of scsi_device.vpd_pg8[03]

Bart,

Applied to 4.14/scsi-queue. Thanks!
