dm log-writes: Add missing set_freezable() for freezable kthread

2025-12-10T18:28:22Z

The log_writes_kthread() calls try_to_freeze() but lacks set_freezable(), rendering the freeze attempt ineffective since kernel threads are non-freezable by default. This prevents proper thread suspension during system suspend/hibernate. Add set_freezable() to explicitly mark the thread as freezable.

mm: remove callers of pfn_t functionality

2025-07-10T05:42:19Z

All PFN_* pfn_t flags have been removed. Therefore there is no longer a need for the pfn_t type and all uses can be replaced with normal pfns.

dm: Allow .prepare_ioctl to handle ioctls directly

2025-05-04T09:35:05Z

This adds a 'bool *forward' parameter to .prepare_ioctl, which allows device mapper targets to accept ioctls to themselves instead of the underlying device. If the target already fully handled the ioctl, it sets *forward to false and device mapper won't forward it to the underlying device any more. In order for targets to actually know what the ioctl is about and how to handle it, pass also cmd and arg. As long as targets restrict themselves to interpreting ioctls of type DM_IOCTL, this is a backwards compatible change because previously, any such ioctl would have been passed down through all device mapper layers until it reached a device that can't understand the ioctl and would return an error.

dm: always manage discard support in terms of max_hw_discard_sectors

2024-05-20T19:51:19Z

Commit 4f563a64732d ("block: add a max_user_discard_sectors queue limit") changed block core to set max_discard_sectors to: min(lim->max_hw_discard_sectors, lim->max_user_discard_sectors) Since commit 1c0e720228ad ("dm: use queue_limits_set") it was reported dm-thinp was failing in a few fstests (generic/347 and generic/405) with the first WARN_ON_ONCE in dm_cell_key_has_valid_range() being reported, e.g.: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 30 at drivers/md/dm-bio-prison-v1.c:128 dm_cell_key_has_valid_range+0x3d/0x50 blk_set_stacking_limits() sets max_user_discard_sectors to UINT_MAX, so given how block core now sets max_discard_sectors (detailed above) it follows that blk_stack_limits() stacks up the underlying device's max_hw_discard_sectors and max_discard_sectors is set to match it. If max_hw_discard_sectors exceeds dm's BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE, then dm_cell_key_has_valid_range() will trigger the warning with: WARN_ON_ONCE(key->block_end - key->block_begin > BIO_PRISON_MAX_RANGE) Aside from this warning, the discard will fail. Fix this and other DM issues by governing discard support in terms of max_hw_discard_sectors instead of max_discard_sectors.

dm: add helper macro for simple DM target module init and exit

2023-04-11T16:09:08Z

Eliminate duplicate boilerplate code for simple modules that contain a single DM target driver without any additional setup code. Add a new module_dm() macro, which replaces the module_init() and module_exit() with template functions that call dm_register_target() and dm_unregister_target() respectively.
