This patch adds the following 2 interfaces for request-stacking drivers:
- blk_rq_prep_clone(struct request *clone, struct request *orig,
struct bio_set *bs, gfp_t gfp_mask,
int (*bio_ctr)(struct bio *, struct bio*, void *),
void *data)
* Clones bios in the original request to the clone request
(bio_ctr is called for each cloned bios.)
* Copies attributes of the original request to the clone request.
The actual data parts (e.g. ->cmd, ->buffer, ->sense) are not
copied.- blk_rq_unprep_clone(struct request *clone)
* Frees cloned bios from the clone request.Request stacking drivers (e.g. request-based dm) need to make a clone
request for a submitted request and dispatch it to other devices.To allocate request for the clone, request stacking drivers may not
be able to use blk_get_request() because the allocation may be done
in an irq-disabled context.
So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a request allocated by the caller
as an argument.For each clone bio in the clone request, request stacking drivers
should be able to set up their own completion handler.
So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a callback function which is called
for each clone bio, and a pointer for private data which is passed
to the callback.NOTE:
blk_rq_prep_clone() doesn't copy any actual data of the original
request. Pages are shared between original bios and cloned bios.
So caller must not complete the original request before the clone
request.Signed-off-by: Kiyoshi Ueda

Currently io_context has an atomic_t(32-bit) as refcount. In the case of
cfq, for each device against whcih a task does I/O, a reference to the
io_context would be taken. And when there are multiple process sharing
io_contexts(CLONE_IO) would also have a reference to the same io_context.Theoretically the possible maximum number of processes sharing the same
io_context + the number of disks/cfq_data referring to the same io_context
can overflow the 32-bit counter on a very high-end machine.Even though it is an improbable case, let us make it atomic_long_t.

TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:- zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
- binary tracing without printf overhead
- structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
- trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
- user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
...Cons:
- no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
But this may change in the future.- A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
While blktrace do the convertion just before output.Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.
- In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().
I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:
dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/sSo the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:

I found one more mis-conversion to the 'request is always dequeued
when completing' model in elv_abort_queue() during code inspection.
Although I haven't hit any problem caused by this mis-conversion yet
and just done compile/boot test, please apply if you have no problem.Request must be dequeued when it completes.
However, elv_abort_queue() completes requests without dequeueing.
This will cause oops in the __blk_end_request_all().

Doing a bit of torture testing, I ran across a BUG in the block
subsystem (at blk-core.c:2048): the test for if the request is queued.It turns out the trigger was a BLKPREP_KILL coming out of the SCSI prep
function. Currently for BLKPREP_KILL requests, we send them straight
into __blk_end_request_all() with an error, but they've never been
dequeued, so they trip the bug. Fix this by starting requests before
killing them.Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

We currently don't do merging on discard requests, but we potentially
could. If we do, then we need to include discard requests in the IO
accounting, or merging would end up decrementing in_flight IO counters
for an IO which never incremented them.So enable accounting for discard requests.

commit e8939a50466fd963eb1ba9118c34b9ffb7ff6aa6
Author: Tejun Heo
Date: Fri May 8 11:54:16 2009 +0900block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch
Added a BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(req)) to the top of blk_finish_req().
Unfortunately, this checks whether req->queuelist is empty. This list
is doing double duty both as the queue list and the tag list, so tagged
requests come in here with this not empty and boom (the tag list is
emptied by blk_queue_end_tag() lower down).Fix this by moving the BUG_ON to below the end tag we also seem
vulnerable to this in blk_requeue_request() as well. I think all uses
of blk_queued_rq() need auditing because the check is clearly wrong in
the tagged case.Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we
need to ensure proper alignment. This patch adds support for exposing
I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked.logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address.
physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write
without incurring a read-modify-write penalty.The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by
the device. In many cases this is the same as the physical block
size. However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking
(RAID5 chunk size > physical block size).The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by
the device. This is usually the stripe width for arrays.The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start
of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment.
Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets
so filesystems start on proper boundaries.Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen

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.

In commit c3a4d78c580de4edc9ef0f7c59812fb02ceb037f, while introducing
rq->resid_len, the default value of residue count was changed from
full count to zero. The conversion was done under the assumption that
when a request fails residue count wasn't defined. However, Boaz and
James pointed out that this wasn't true and the residue count should
be preserved for failed requests too.This patchset restores the original behavior by setting rq->resid_len
to blk_rq_bytes(rq) on request start and restoring explicit clearing
in affected drivers. While at it, take advantage of the fact that

Current bio_vec array index out-of-bounds test within
__end_that_request_first() does not seem correct.
It checks bio->bi_idx against bio->bi_vcnt, but the subsequent code
uses idx (which is, bio->bi_idx + next_idx) as the array index into
bio_vec array. This means that the test really make sense only at
the first iteration of !(nr_bytes >=bio->bi_size) case (when next_idx
== zero). Fix this by replacing bio->bi_idx with idx.

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 ]

Block low level drivers for some reason have been pretty good at
abusing block layer API. Especially struct request's fields tend to
get violated in all possible ways. Make it clear that low level
drivers MUST NOT access or manipulate rq->sector and rq->data_len
directly by prefixing them with double underscores.This change is also necessary to break build of out-of-tree codes
which assume the previous block API where internal fields can be
manipulated and rq->data_len carries residual count on completion.[ Impact: hide internal fields, block API change ]

struct request has had a few different ways to represent some
properties of a request. ->hard_* represent block layer's view of the
request progress (completion cursor) and the ones without the prefix
are supposed to represent the issue cursor and allowed to be updated
as necessary by the low level drivers. The thing is that as block
layer supports partial completion, the two cursors really aren't
necessary and only cause confusion. In addition, manual management of
request detail from low level drivers is cumbersome and error-prone at
the very least.Another interesting duplicate fields are rq->[hard_]nr_sectors and
rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors against rq->data_len and
rq->bio->bi_size. This is more convoluted than the hard_ case.rq->[hard_]nr_sectors are initialized for requests with bio but
blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for !pc requests. rq->data_len is
initialized for all request but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for pc
requests. This causes good amount of confusion throughout block layer
and its drivers and determining the request length has been a bit of
black magic which may or may not work depending on circumstances and
what the specific LLD is actually doing.rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors represent the number of sectors in
the contiguous data area at the front. This is mainly used by drivers
which transfers data by walking request segment-by-segment. This
value always equals rq->bio->bi_size >> 9. However, data length for
pc requests may not be multiple of 512 bytes and using this field
becomes a bit confusing.In general, having multiple fields to represent the same property
leads only to confusion and subtle bugs. With recent block low level
driver cleanups, no driver is accessing or manipulating these
duplicate fields directly. Drop all the duplicates. Now rq->sector
means the current sector, rq->data_len the current total length and
rq->bio->bi_size the current segment length. Everything else is
defined in terms of these three and available only through accessors.* blk_recalc_rq_sectors() is collapsed into blk_update_request() and
now handles pc and fs requests equally other than rq->sector update.
This means that now pc requests can use partial completion too (no
in-kernel user yet tho).* bio_cur_sectors() is replaced with bio_cur_bytes() as block layer
now uses byte count as the primary data length.* blk_rq_pos() is now guranteed to be always correct. In-block users
converted.* blk_rq_bytes() is now guaranteed to be always valid as is
blk_rq_sectors(). In-block users converted.* blk_rq_sectors() is now guaranteed to equal blk_rq_bytes() >> 9.
More convenient one is used.* blk_rq_bytes() and blk_rq_cur_bytes() are now inlined and take const
pointer to request.[ Impact: API cleanup, single way to represent one property of a request ]

rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue
and the residual count on completion. This duality creates some
headaches.First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine
what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing. It could be
the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the
lower layers is using to keep track of residual count. This
complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
[__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
request with the cached data length.Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred. The residual count is
an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
alone means no data transfer occurred at all. This reverse default
behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.
While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.Boaz : spotted missing conversion in osd
Sergei : spotted too early conversion to blk_rq_bytes() in ide-tape[ Impact: cleanup residual count handling, report 0 resid by default ]
