* bcache/md: Use raid stripe sizeKent Overstreet2014-01-08
| | | | | | | | | Now that we've got code for raid5/6 stripe awareness, bcache just needs to know about the stripes and when writing partial stripes is expensive - we probably don't want to enable this optimization for raid1 or 10, even though they have stripes. So add a flag to queue_limits. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com>
* block: Immutable bio vecsKent Overstreet2013-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a mechanism by which we can advance a bio by an arbitrary number of bytes without modifying the biovec: bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done indicates the number of bytes completed in the current bvec. Various driver code still needs to be updated to not refer to the bvec directly before we can use this for interesting things, like efficient bio splitting.

* blk-mq: ensure that we set REQ_IO_STAT so diskstats workJens Axboe2013-11-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | If disk stats are enabled on the queue, a request needs to be marked with REQ_IO_STAT for accounting to be active on that request. This fixes an issue with virtio-blk not showing up in /proc/diskstats after the conversion to blk-mq. Add QUEUE_FLAG_MQ_DEFAULT, setting stats and same cpu-group completion on by default.

* blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanismJens Axboe2013-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Linux currently has two models for block devices: - The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag management, timeout handling, queueing, etc. - The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack, driver generally have to manage everything themselves. With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands per device. The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent everything, and along with that we get all the problems again that the shared approach solved. This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues. We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports. blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include: - Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed tags, to enable cache hot reuse. - Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification, if a request happens to fail. - Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the desired location. - Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need to associate a request structure with some driver private command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time, and then any request handed to the driver will have the required size of memory associated with it. - Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus increases bandwidth. For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md devices (as it was originally intended).

| | | | | | | | | | This reference count has been around since before git history, but the only place where it's used is in blk_execute_rq, and ther it is entirely useless as it is incremented before submitting the request and decremented in the end_io handler before waking up the submitter thread.

* blk: avoid divide-by-zero with zero discard granularityLinus Torvalds2012-12-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 8dd2cb7e880d ("block: discard granularity might not be power of 2") changed a couple of 'binary and' operations into modulus operations. Which turned the harmless case of a zero discard_granularity into a possible divide-by-zero. The code also had a much more subtle bug: it was doing the modulus of a value in bytes using 'sector_t'. That was always conceptually wrong, but didn't actually matter back when the code assumed a power-of-two granularity: we only looked at the low bits anyway. But with potentially arbitrary sector numbers, using a 'sector_t' to express bytes is very very wrong: depending on configuration it limits the starting offset of the device to just 32 bits, and any overflow would result in a wrong value if the modulus wasn't a power-of-two. So re-write the code to not only protect against the divide-by-zero, but to do the starting sector arithmetic in sectors, and using the proper types. [ For any mathematicians out there: it also looks monumentally stupid to do the 'modulo granularity' operation *twice*, never mind having a "+ granularity" in the second modulus op. But that's the easiest way to avoid negative values or overflow, and it is how the original code was done. ] Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org> Reported-by: Doug Anderson <dianders@chromium.org> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Shaohua Li <shli@fusionio.com> Acked-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* block: Make blk_cleanup_queue() wait until request_fn finishedBart Van Assche2012-12-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some request_fn implementations, e.g. scsi_request_fn(), unlock the queue lock internally. This may result in multiple threads executing request_fn for the same queue simultaneously. Keep track of the number of active request_fn calls and make sure that blk_cleanup_queue() waits until all active request_fn invocations have finished. A block driver may start cleaning up resources needed by its request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished, so blk_cleanup_queue() must wait for all outstanding request_fn invocations to finish.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A block driver may start cleaning up resources needed by its request_fn as soon as blk_cleanup_queue() finished, so request_fn must not be invoked after draining finished. This is important when blk_run_queue() is invoked without any requests in progress. As an example, if blk_drain_queue() and scsi_run_queue() run in parallel, blk_drain_queue() may have finished all requests after scsi_run_queue() has taken a SCSI device off the starved list but before that last function has had a chance to run the queue.
