Introduce a wrapper around scsi_cmd_ioctl that takes a block device.
The function will then be enhanced to detect partition block devices

Fix a theoretical race related to config work
handler: a config interrupt might happen
after we flush config work but before we
reset the device. It will then cause the
config work to run during or after reset.Two problems with this:
- if this runs after device is gone we will get use after free
- access of config while reset is in progress is racy
(as layout is changing).As a solution
1. flush after reset when we know there will be no more interrupts
2. add a flag to disable config access before resetSigned-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

Based on a patch by Mark Wu
Current index allocation in virtio-blk is based on a monotonically
increasing variable "index". This means we'll run out of numbers
after a while. It also could cause confusion about the disk
name in the case of hot-plugging disks.

Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA

-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.

Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell -
Create a new attribute for virtio-blk devices that will fetch the serial number
of the block device. This attribute can be used by udev to create disk/by-id
symlinks for devices that don't have a UUID (filesystem) associated with them.ATA_IDENTIFY strings are special in that they can be up to 20 chars long
and aren't required to be nul-terminated. The buffer is also zero-padded
meaning that if the serial is 19 chars or less that we get a nul-terminated
string. When copying this value into a string buffer, we must be careful to
copy up to the nul (if it present) and only 20 if it is longer and not to
attempt to nul terminate; this isn't needed.Changes since v1:
- Added BUILD_BUG_ON() for PAGE_SIZE check
- Removed min() since BUILD_BUG_ON() handles the check

If we want to support barriers with the cache=writethrough mode in qemu
we need to tell the block layer that we only need queue drains to
implement a barrier. Follow the model set by SCSI and IDE and assume
that there is no volatile write cache if the host doesn't advertize it.
While this might imply working barriers on old qemu versions or other
hypervisors that actually have a volatile write cache this is only a
cosmetic issue - these hypervisors don't guarantee any data integrity
with or without this patch, but with the patch we at least provide
data ordering.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

…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 allmodconfig8. 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.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

virtio: add virtio IDs file
moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is
a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example
if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to
include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h
does not include virtio_ids.h.
This patch moves all "#include " from the C
files into the header files, making the header files compatible with
the old ones.In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

It seems like the addition of QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT caueses major performance
regressions for Fedora users:https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509383
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505695while I can't reproduce those extreme regressions myself I think the flag
is wrong.Rationale:
QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT expands to QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT which casus the queue
unplugged immediately. This is not a good behaviour for at least
qemu and kvm where we do have significant overhead for every
I/O operations. Even with all the latested speeups (native AIO,
MSI support, zero copy) we can only get native speed for up to 128kb
I/O requests we already are down to 66% of native performance for 4kb
requests even on my laptop running the Intel X25-M SSD for which the
QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT was designed.
If we ever get virtio-blk overhead low enough that this flag makes
sense it should only be set based on a feature flag set by the host.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig
