  • aebf526b5   block: fold cmd_type into the REQ_OP_ space ... Browse Code »

    Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it
    all into the operations. The little caveat here is that previously
    cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op
    fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough
    operations.

    Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver
    private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we
    can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

    Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
    "This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous
    release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We
    always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious
    reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll
    probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially
    for cycles that end up being as busy as this one.

    The major parts of this pull request is:

    - Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small
    private implementation instead of using the pig that is
    fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph.

    - Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized
    by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the
    writeback queue throttling code.

    - Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode
    that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me.

    - Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block
    side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to
    scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me.

    - Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes
    and Shaun.

    - Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef.

    - Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between
    which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From
    Christoph.

    - A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue
    stopping and starting in blk-mq.

    - Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya.

    - Lightnvm updates from Javier/Matias.

    - Supoort for FC for the nvme-over-fabrics code. From James Smart.

    - A bunch of fixes from a whole slew of people, too many to name
    here"

  • ef295ecf0   block: better op and flags encoding ... Browse Code »

    Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range
    of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and
    request fields. This in addition allows us to place the operation
    first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to
    stop having to shift around the operation values.

    In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer
    instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do
    that later) and thus clean up a lot of code.

    Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags
    field in struct request to 32-bits. Various functions passing this
    value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now.

  • e80640213   block: split out request-only flags into a new namespace ... Browse Code »

    A lot of the REQ_* flags are only used on struct requests, and only of
    use to the block layer and a few drivers that dig into struct request
    internals.

    This patch adds a new req_flags_t rq_flags field to struct request for
    them, and thus dramatically shrinks the number of common requests. It
    also removes the unfortunate situation where we have to fit the fields
    from the same enum into 32 bits for struct bio and 64 bits for
    struct request.

  • 4d6af73d9   block: support large requests in blk_rq_map_user_iov ... Browse Code »

    This patch adds support for larger requests in blk_rq_map_user_iov by
    allowing it to build multiple bios for a request. This functionality
    used to exist for the non-vectored blk_rq_map_user in the past, and
    this patch reuses the existing functionality for it on the unmap side,
    which stuck around. Thanks to the iov_iter API supporting multiple
    bios is fairly trivial, as we can just iterate the iov until we've
    consumed the whole iov_iter.

    For drivers that don't support gaps in the SG lists handed to

    does not include gaps. This doesn't matter for any current user,

  • b7c44ed9d   block: manipulate bio->bi_flags through helpers ... Browse Code »

    Some places use helpers now, others don't. We only have the 'is set'
    helper, add helpers for setting and clearing flags too.

    It was a bit of a mess of atomic vs non-atomic access. With
    BIO_UPTODATE gone, we don't have any risk of concurrent access to the
    flags. So relax the restriction and don't make any of them atomic. The
    flags that do have serialization issues (reffed and chained), we
    already handle those separately.

  • 4246a0b63   block: add a bi_error field to struct bio ... Browse Code »

    Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

    (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
    (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

    The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
    error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
    when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
    bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms
    available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
    and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
    them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
    of error returns.

    So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
    bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

  • b4f42e283   block: remove struct request buffer member ... Browse Code »

    This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
    yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
    transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
    most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
    pointing at anything valid.

    Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().

    For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
    in the bio.

    renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.

    Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
    blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

    This change is also necessary to break build of out-of-tree codes
