  • …it 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.

  • i8253_lock needs to be a real spinlock in preempt-rt, i.e. it can
    not be converted to a sleeping lock.

    Convert it to raw_spinlock and fix up all users.

  • The block layer calling convention is blk_queue_.
    blk_queue_max_sectors predates this practice, leading to some confusion.
    Rename the function to appropriately reflect that its intended use is to
    set max_hw_sectors.

    Also introduce a temporary wrapper for backwards compability. This can
    be removed after the merge window is closed.

  • Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
    block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
    With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The
    sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
    512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
    and the logical ditto.

    This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

  • Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
    A request is always acquired from the request queue via
    elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
    or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
    to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.

    Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
    allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
    segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
    benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
    ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
    old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
    difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
    and its more modern users.

    Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
    model. This patch completes the API transition by...

    * renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()

    * renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()

    * adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start

    * disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests

    * applying new API to all LLDs

    Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
    it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

    [ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

  • hd has at most single request in flight. Till now, whenever it needs
    to access the in-flight request it called elv_next_request(). This
    patch makes hd track the in-flight request directly and dequeue it
    when processing starts. The added complexity is minimal and this will
    help future block layer changes.

  • With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver
    directly manipulates request fields. This means that the 'hard'
    request fields always equal the !hard fields. Convert all
    rq->sectors, nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors references to
    accessors.

    While at it, drop superflous blk_rq_pos() < 0 test in swim.c.

  • hd read/write_intr() functions manually manipulate request to
    incrementally complete it, which block layer already supports. Simply
    use block layer completion routines instead of manual partial
    completion.

    While at it, clear unnecessary elv_next_request() check at the tail of
    read_intr(). This also makes read and write_intr() more consistent.

  • end_request() has been kept around for backward compatibility;
    however, it's about time for it to go away.

    * There aren't too many users left.

    * Its use of @updtodate is pretty confusing.

    * In some cases, newer code ends up using mixture of end_request() and
    [__]blk_end_request[_all](), which is way too confusing.

    So, add [__]blk_end_request_cur() and replace end_request() with it.
    Most conversions are straightforward. Noteworthy ones are...

    * paride/pcd: next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0.

    * paride/pf: pf_end_request() and next_request() updated to take
    0/-errno instead of 1/0.

    * xd: xd_readwrite() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0.

    * mtd/mtd_blkdevs: blktrans_discard_request() updated to return
    0/-errno instead of 1/0. Unnecessary local variable res
    initialization removed from mtd_blktrans_thread().

  • hd dance around local irq and HD_IRQ enable without achieving much.
    It ends up transferring data from irq handler with both local irq and
    HD_IRQ disabled. The only place it actually does something is while
    transferring the first block of a request which it does with HD_IRQ
    disabled but local irq enabled.

    Unfortunately, the dancing is horribly broken from locking POV. IRQ
    and timeout handlers access block queue without grabbing the queue
    lock and running the driver in SMP configuration crashes the whole
    machine pretty quickly.

    Remove meaningless irq enable/disable dancing and add proper locking
    in issue, irq and timeout paths.
