* shared tag queue barrier commentNick Piggin2007-09-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Should add some comments for the tag barriers (they won't be so important if we can switch over to the explicit _lock bitops, but for now we should make it clear). Jens' original patch said a barrier after the test_and_clear_bit was also required. I can't see why (and it would prevent the use of the _lock bitop).

* Fix race with shared tag queue mapsJens Axboe2007-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a race condition in blk_queue_end_tag() for shared tag maps, users include stex (promise supertrak thingy) and qla2xxx. The former at least has reported bugs in this area, not sure why we haven't seen any for the latter. It could be because the window is narrow and that other conditions in the qla2xxx code hide this. It's a real bug, though, as the stex smp users can attest. We need to ensure two things - the tag bit clearing needs to happen AFTER we cleared the tag pointer, as the tag bit clearing/setting is what protects this map. Secondly, we need to ensure that the visibility of the tag pointer and tag bit clear are ordered properly.

* [BLOCK] drop unnecessary bvec rewinding from flush_dry_bio_endioTejun Heo2007-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Barrier bios are completed twice - once after the barrier write itself is done and again after the whole sequence is complete. flush_dry_bio_endio() is for the first completion. It doesn't really complete the bio. It rewinds bvec and resets bio so that it can be completed again when the whole barrier sequence is complete. The bvec rewinding code has the following problems. 1. The rewinding code is wrong because filesystems may pass bvec with non zero bv_offset. 2. The block layer doesn't guarantee anything about the state of bvec array on request completion. bv_offset and len are updated iff __end_that_request_first() completes the bvec partially. Because of #2, #1 doesn't really matter (nobody cares whether bvec is re-wound correctly or not) but then again by not doing unwinding at all, we'll always give back the same bvec to the caller as full bvec completion doesn't alter bvecs and the final completion is always full completion. Drop unnecessary rewinding code. This is spotted by Neil Brown. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* block: always requeue !fs requests at the frontTejun Heo2007-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SCSI marks internal commands with REQ_PREEMPT and push it at the front of the request queue using blk_execute_rq(). When entering suspended or frozen state, SCSI devices are quiesced using scsi_device_quiesce(). In quiesced state, only REQ_PREEMPT requests are processed. This is how SCSI blocks other requests out while suspending and resuming. As all internal commands are pushed at the front of the queue, this usually works. Unfortunately, this interacts badly with ordered requeueing. To preserve request order on requeueing (due to busy device, active EH or other failures), requests are sorted according to ordered sequence on requeue if IO barrier is in progress. The following sequence deadlocks. 1. IO barrier sequence issues. 2. Suspend requested. Queue is quiesced with part or all of IO barrier sequence at the front. 3. During suspending or resuming, SCSI issues internal command which gets deferred and requeued for some reason. As the command is issued after the IO barrier in #1, ordered requeueing code puts the request after IO barrier sequence. 4. The device is ready to process requests again but still is in quiesced state and the first request of the queue isn't REQ_PREEMPT, so command processing is deadlocked - suspending/resuming waits for the issued request to complete while the request can't be processed till device is put back into running state by resuming. This can be fixed by always putting !fs requests at the front when requeueing.

* When stacked block devices are in-use (e.g. md or dm), the recursive callsNeil Brown2007-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to generic_make_request can use up a lot of space, and we would rather they didn't. As generic_make_request is a void function, and as it is generally not expected that it will have any effect immediately, it is safe to delay any call to generic_make_request until there is sufficient stack space available. As ->bi_next is reserved for the driver to use, it can have no valid value when generic_make_request is called, and as __make_request implicitly assumes it will be NULL (ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE fork of switch) we can be certain that all callers set it to NULL. We can therefore safely use bi_next to link pending requests together, providing we clear it before making the real call. So, we choose to allow each thread to only be active in one generic_make_request at a time. If a subsequent (recursive) call is made, the bio is linked into a per-thread list, and is handled when the active call completes. As the list of pending bios is per-thread, there are no locking issues to worry about. I say above that it is "safe to delay any call...". There are, however, some behaviours of a make_request_fn which would make it unsafe. These include any behaviour that assumes anything will have changed after a recursive call to generic_make_request. These could include: - waiting for that call to finish and call it's bi_end_io function. md use to sometimes do this (marking the superblock dirty before completing a write) but doesn't any more - inspecting the bio for fields that generic_make_request might change, such as bi_sector or bi_bdev. It is hard to see a good reason for this, and I don't think anyone actually does it. - inspecing the queue to see if, e.g. it is 'full' yet. Again, I think this is very unlikely to be useful, or to be done.

For device-mapper at the moment though it's essential that, while the bio mappings may now get delayed, they still get processed in exactly the same order as they were passed to generic_make_request(). My main concern is whether the timing changes implicit in this patch will make the rare data-corrupting races in the existing snapshot code more likely. (I'm working on a fix for these races, but the unfinished patch is already several hundred lines long.) It would be helpful if some people on this mailing list would test this patch in various scenarios and report back.

* | Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplugRafael J. Wysocki2007-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as857) modifies the SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE and SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctls in the sg driver, capping the values at the device's request_queue's max_sectors value. This will permit cdrecord to obtain a legal value for the maximum transfer length, fixing Bugzilla #7026. The patch also caps the initial reserved_size value. There's no reason to have a reserved buffer larger than max_sectors, since it would be impossible to use the extra space. The corresponding ioctls in the block layer are modified similarly, and the initial value for the reserved_size is set as large as possible. This will effectively make it default to max_sectors. Note that the actual value is meaningless anyway, since block devices don't have a reserved buffer. Finally, the BLKSECTGET ioctl is added to sg, so that there will be a uniform way for users to determine the actual max_sectors value for any raw SCSI transport.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a small problem in handling page bounce. At the moment blk_max_pfn equals max_pfn, which is in fact not maximum possible _number_ of a page frame, but the _amount_ of page frames. For example for the 32bit x86 node with 4Gb RAM, max_pfn = 0x100000, but not 0xFFFF. request_queue structure has a member q->bounce_pfn and queue needs bounce pages for the pages _above_ this limit. This routine is handled by blk_queue_bounce(), where the following check is produced: if (q->bounce_pfn >= blk_max_pfn) return; Assume, that a driver has set q->bounce_pfn to 0xFFFF, but blk_max_pfn equals 0x10000. In such situation the check above fails and for each bio we always fall down for iterating over pages tied to the bio. I want to notice, that for quite a big range of device drivers (ide, md, ...) such problem doesn't happen because they use BLK_BOUNCE_ANY for bounce_pfn. BLK_BOUNCE_ANY is defined as blk_max_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT, and then the check above doesn't fail. But for other drivers, which obtain reuired value from drivers, it fails. For example sata_nv uses ATA_DMA_MASK or dev->dma_mask. I propose to use (max_pfn - 1) for blk_max_pfn. And the same for blk_max_low_pfn. The patch also cleanses some checks related with bounce_pfn.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible for raid5 to be sent a bio that is too big for an underlying device. So if it is a READ that we pass stright down to a device, it will fail and confuse RAID5. So in 'chunk_aligned_read' we check that the bio fits within the parameters for the target device and if it doesn't fit, fall back on reading through the stripe cache and making lots of one-page requests. Note that this is the earliest time we can check against the device because earlier we don't have a lock on the device, so it could change underneath us. Also, the code for handling a retry through the cache when a read fails has not been tested and was badly broken. This patch fixes that code.

* | WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context dataDavid Howells2006-11-22
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

* [PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functionsAndrew Morton2006-10-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion". Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept. The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core backing-dev congestion functions. This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't need to disable irqs to clear current->io_context, it is protected by ->alloc_lock. Even IF it was possible to submit I/O from IRQ on behalf of current this irq_disable() can't help: current_io_context() will re-instantiate ->io_context after irq_enable(). We don't need task_lock() or local_irq_disable() to clear ioc->task. This can't prevent other CPUs from playing with our io_context anyway.

Additionally, using the BLKRASET ioctl doesn't impose such a restriction. So additionally we now expose identical behaviour through the two.
