* block: improve handling of the magic discard payloadChristoph Hellwig2016-12-091-36/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of allocating a single unused biovec for discard requests, send them down without any payload. Instead we allow the driver to add a "special" payload using a biovec embedded into struct request (unioned over other fields never used while in the driver), and overloading the number of segments for this case. This has a couple of advantages: - we don't have to allocate the bio_vec - the amount of special casing for discard requests in the block layer is significantly reduced - using this same scheme for other request types is trivial, which will be important for implementing the new WRITE_ZEROES op on devices where it actually requires a payload (e.g. SCSI) - we can get rid of playing games with the request length, as we'll never touch it and completions will work just fine - it will allow us to support ranged discard operations in the future by merging non-contiguous discard bios into a single request - last but not least it removes a lot of code This patch is the common base for my WIP series for ranges discards and to remove discard_zeroes_data in favor of always using REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES, so it would be good to get it in quickly.

* block: add support for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROESChaitanya Kulkarni2016-12-011-4/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new block layer operation to zero out a range of LBAs. This allows to implement zeroing for devices that don't use either discard with a predictable zero pattern or WRITE SAME of zeroes. The prominent example of that is NVMe with the Write Zeroes command, but in the future, this should also help with improving the way zeroing discards work. For this operation, suitable entry is exported in sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one write zeroes operation by the device.

* block: split out request-only flags into a new namespaceChristoph Hellwig2016-10-281-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* block: make sure a big bio is split into at most 256 bvecsMing Lei2016-08-241-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After arbitrary bio size was introduced, the incoming bio may be very big.

However, the requests that come from a plug flush may get merged by block layer without consulting with io scheduler. In case of CFQ, this can cause fairness problems. For instance, if a request gets merged into a low weight cgroup's request, high weight cgroup now will depend on low weight cgroup to get scheduled. If high weigt cgroup needs that io request to complete before submitting more requests, then it will also lose its timeslice. Following script demonstrates the problem. Group g1 has a low weight, g2 and g3 have equal high weights but g2's requests are adjacent to g1's requests so they are subject to merging. Due to these merges, g2 gets poor disk time allocation. cat > cfq-merge-repro.sh << "EOF" #!/bin/bash set -e IO_ROOT=/mnt-cgroup/io mkdir -p $IO_ROOT if ! mount | grep -qw $IO_ROOT; then mount -t cgroup none -oblkio $IO_ROOT fi cd $IO_ROOT for i in g1 g2 g3; do if [ -d $i ]; then rmdir $i fi done mkdir g1 && echo 10 > g1/blkio.weight mkdir g2 && echo 495 > g2/blkio.weight mkdir g3 && echo 495 > g3/blkio.weight RUNTIME=10 (echo $BASHPID > g1/cgroup.procs && fio --readonly --name name1 --filename /dev/sdb \ --rw read --size 64k --bs 64k --time_based \ --runtime=$RUNTIME --offset=0k &> /dev/null)& (echo $BASHPID > g2/cgroup.procs && fio --readonly --name name1 --filename /dev/sdb \ --rw read --size 64k --bs 64k --time_based \ --runtime=$RUNTIME --offset=64k &> /dev/null)& (echo $BASHPID > g3/cgroup.procs && fio --readonly --name name1 --filename /dev/sdb \ --rw read --size 64k --bs 64k --time_based \ --runtime=$RUNTIME --offset=256k &> /dev/null)& sleep $((RUNTIME+1)) for i in g1 g2 g3; do echo ---- $i ---- cat $i/blkio.time done EOF # ./cfq-merge-repro.sh ---- g1 ---- 8:16 162 ---- g2 ---- 8:16 165 ---- g3 ---- 8:16 686 After applying the patch: # ./cfq-merge-repro.sh ---- g1 ---- 8:16 90 ---- g2 ---- 8:16 445 ---- g3 ---- 8:16 471 Signed-off-by: Tahsin Erdogan <tahsin@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

* | block: Replace SG_GAPS with new queue limits maskKeith Busch2015-08-191-16/+7
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The SG_GAPS queue flag caused checks for bio vector alignment against PAGE_SIZE, but the device may have different constraints. This patch adds a queue limits so a driver with such constraints can set to allow requests that would have been unnecessarily split. The new gaps check takes the request_queue as a parameter to simplify the logic around invoking this function. This new limit makes the queue flag redundant, so removing it and all usage. Device-mappers will inherit the correct settings through blk_stack_limits(). Signed-off-by: Keith Busch <keith.busch@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Martin K.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page()) checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create bios that don't need to be split. But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the (potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code. We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing affecting segment merging. Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are: * nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c) * axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c) * simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c) * brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c) * mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c) * loop_make_request * null_queue_bio * bcache's make_request fns Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left for future patches.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

Strictly speaking, bio->bi_vcnt shouldn't be used here since it may not be accurate in cases of both cloned bio or bio cloned from, but bio_segments() is a bit expensive, and bi_vcnt is still the biggest number, so the approach should work.

| | | | | | | | | | Another restriction inherited for NVMe - those devices don't support SG lists that have "gaps" in them. Gaps refers to cases where the previous SG entry doesn't end on a page boundary. For NVMe, all SG entries must start at offset 0 (except the first) and end on a page boundary (except the last).

* block: add queue flag for disabling SG mergingJens Axboe2014-05-291-7/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If devices are not SG starved, we waste a lot of time potentially collapsing SG segments. Enough that 1.5% of the CPU time goes to this, at only 400K IOPS. Add a queue flag, QUEUE_FLAG_NO_SG_MERGE, which just returns the number of vectors in a bio instead of looping over all segments and checking for collapsible ones. Add a BLK_MQ_F_SG_MERGE flag so that drivers can opt-in on the sg merging, if they so desire. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
* block: Explicitly handle discard/write same segmentsKent Overstreet2014-02-071-29/+62
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Immutable biovecs changed the way biovecs are interpreted - drivers no longer use bi_vcnt, they have to go by bi_iter.bi_size (to allow for using part of an existing segment without modifying it). This breaks with discards and write_same bios, since for those bi_size has nothing to do with segments in the biovec. So for now, we need a fairly gross hack - we fortunately know that there will never be more than one segment for the entire request, so we can special case discard/write_same.
