* block: Add bio_list_peek()Geert Uytterhoeven2009-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | Introduce bio_list_peek(), to obtain a pointer to the first bio on the bio_list without actually removing it from the list. This is needed when you want to serialize based on the list being empty or not.

* block: drop request->hard_* and *nr_sectorsTejun Heo2009-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* bio: fix bio_kmalloc()Tejun Heo2009-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: fix bio_kmalloc() and its destruction path bio_kmalloc() was broken in two ways. * bvec_alloc_bs() first allocates bvec using kmalloc() and then ignores it and allocates again like non-kmalloc bvecs. * bio_kmalloc_destructor() didn't check for and free bio integrity data. This patch fixes the above problems. kmalloc patch is separated out from bio_alloc_bioset() and allocates the requested number of bvecs as inline bvecs. * bio_alloc_bioset() no longer takes NULL @bs. None other than bio_kmalloc() used it and outside users can't know how it was allocated anyway. * Define and use BIO_POOL_NONE so that pool index check in bvec_free_bs() triggers if inline or kmalloc allocated bvec gets there. * Relocate destructors on top of each allocation function so that how they're used is more clear. Jens Axboe suggested allocating bvecs inline. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* block: Add flag for telling the IO schedulers NOT to anticipate more IOJens Axboe2009-04-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those. Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this flag.

* bio: add support for inlining a number of bio_vecs inside the bioJens Axboe2008-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When we go and allocate a bio for IO, we actually do two allocations. One for the bio itself, and one for the bi_io_vec that holds the actual pages we are interested in. This feature inlines a definable amount of io vecs inside the bio itself, so we eliminate the bio_vec array allocation for IO's up to a certain size.

This allows for personalized slabs in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes. This means we can personalize the bios we return.

* block: Supress Buffer I/O errors when SCSI REQ_QUIET flag setKeith Mannthey2008-12-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow the scsi request REQ_QUIET flag to be propagated to the buffer file system layer. The basic ideas is to pass the flag from the scsi request to the bio (block IO) and then to the buffer layer. The buffer layer can then suppress needless printks. This patch declutters the kernel log by removed the 40-50 (per lun) buffer io error messages seen during a boot in my multipath setup . It is a good chance any real errors will be missed in the "noise" it the logs without this patch. During boot I see blocks of messages like " __ratelimit: 211 callbacks suppressed Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242847 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 1 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242878 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242872 " in my logs. My disk environment is multipath fiber channel using the SCSI_DH_RDAC code and multipathd. This topology includes an "active" and "ghost" path for each lun. IO's to the "ghost" path will never complete and the SCSI layer, via the scsi device handler rdac code, quick returns the IOs to theses paths and sets the REQ_QUIET scsi flag to suppress the scsi layer messages. I am wanting to extend the QUIET behavior to include the buffer file system layer to deal with these errors as well. I have been running this patch for a while now on several boxes without issue. A few runs of bonnie++ show no noticeable difference in performance in my setup. Thanks for John Stultz for the quiet_error finalization.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the bug reported by Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@suse.de>: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/2/203 The root cause of the bug is that blk_phys_contig_segment miscalculates q->max_segment_size. blk_phys_contig_segment checks: req->biotail->bi_size + next_req->bio->bi_size > q->max_segment_size But blk_recalc_rq_segments might expect that req->biotail and the previous bio in the req are supposed be merged into one segment. blk_recalc_rq_segments might also expect that next_req->bio and the next bio in the next_req are supposed be merged into one segment. In such case, we merge two requests that can't be merged here. Later, blk_rq_map_sg gives more segments than it should. We need to keep track of segment size in blk_recalc_rq_segments and use it to see if two requests can be merged. This patch implements it in the similar way that we used to do for hw merging (virtual merging).

* | [SCSI] block: separate failfast into multiple bits.Mike Christie2008-10-13
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Multipath is best at handling transport errors. If it gets a device error then there is not much the multipath layer can do. It will just access the same device but from a different path. This patch breaks up failfast into device, transport and driver errors. The multipath layers (md and dm mutlipath) only ask the lower levels to fast fail transport errors. The user of failfast, read ahead, will ask to fast fail on all errors. Note that blk_noretry_request will return true if any failfast bit is set. This allows drivers that do not support the multipath failfast bits to continue to fail on any failfast error like before. Drivers like scsi that are able to fail fast specific errors can check for the specific fail fast type. In the next patch I will convert scsi.

Add basic support for this to the block core, along with a 'blkdev_issue_discard()' helper function which issues such requests. The caller doesn't get to provide an end_io functio, since blkdev_issue_discard() will automatically split the request up into multiple bios if appropriate. Neither does the function wait for completion -- it's expected that callers won't care about when, or even _if_, the request completes. It's only a hint to the device anyway. By definition, the file system doesn't _care_ about these sectors any more.

* block: convert bio_copy_user to bio_copy_user_iovFUJITA Tomonori2008-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch enables bio_copy_user to take struct sg_iovec (renamed bio_copy_user_iov). bio_copy_user uses bio_copy_user_iov internally as bio_map_user uses bio_map_user_iov. The major changes are: - adds sg_iovec array to struct bio_map_data - adds __bio_copy_iov that copy data between bio and sg_iovec. bio_copy_user_iov and bio_uncopy_user use it.

* fs/block_dev.c: remove #if 0'ed codeAdrian Bunk2008-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b2e895dbd80c420bfc0937c3729b4afe073b3848 #if 0'ed this code stating: <-- snip --> [PATCH] revert blockdev direct io back to 2.6.19 version Andrew Vasquez is reporting as-iosched oopses and a 65% throughput slowdown due to the recent special-casing of direct-io against blockdevs. We don't know why either of these things are occurring. The patch minimally reverts us back to the 2.6.19 code for a 2.6.20 release. <-- snip --> It has since been dead code, and unless someone wants to revive it now it's time to remove it. This patch also makes bio_release_pages() static again and removes the ki_bio_count member from struct kiocb, reverting changes that had been done for this dead code.
