* block: Split bios on chunk boundariesKeith Busch2015-12-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | For h/w that advertise their block storage's underlying chunk size, it's a big performance win to not submit commands that cross them. This patch uses that criteria if it is provided. If it is not provided, this patch uses the max sectors as before.

* blk-merge: fix computing bio->bi_seg_front_size in case of single segmentMing Lei2015-11-301-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | When bio has only one physical segment, we should set bio's bi_seg_front_size as the real(final) size of the single segment.

* blk-merge: fix blk_bio_segment_splitMing Lei2015-11-231-3/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit bdced438acd83a(block: setup bi_phys_segments after splitting) introduces function of computing bio->bi_phys_segments during bio splitting. Unfortunately both bio->bi_seg_front_size and bio->bi_seg_back_size arn't computed, so too many physical segments may be obtained for one request since both the two are used to check if one segment across two bios can be possible. This patch fixes the issue by computing the two variables in blk_bio_segment_split().

* block: blk-merge: fast-clone bio when splitting rw biosMing Lei2015-09-171-15/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | biovecs has become immutable since v3.13, so it isn't necessary to allocate biovecs for the new cloned bios, then we can save one extra biovecs allocation/copy, and the allocation is often not fixed-length and a bit more expensive. For example, if the 'max_sectors_kb' of null blk's queue is set as 16(32 sectors) via sysfs just for making more splits, this patch can increase throught about ~70% in the sequential read test over null_blk(direct io, bs: 1M).

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.

* block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized biosKent Overstreet2015-08-131-10/+149
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

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.

* blk-mq: don't disallow request merges for req->special being setJens Axboe2013-10-291-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For blk-mq, if a driver has requested per-request payload data to carry command structures, they are stuffed into req->special. For an old style request based driver, req->special is used for the same purpose but indicates that a per-driver request structure has been prepared for the request already. So for the old style driver, we do not merge such requests. As most/all blk-mq drivers will use the payload feature, and since we have no problem merging on these, make this check dependent on whether it's a blk-mq enabled driver or not.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The WRITE SAME command supported on some SCSI devices allows the same block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O. This patch implements support for WRITE SAME in the block layer. The blkdev_issue_write_same() function can be used by filesystems and block drivers to replicate a buffer across a block range. This can be used to efficiently initialize software RAID devices, etc. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

While at it, make rq_merge_ok() functions return bool. This is to prepare for plug merge update and doesn't introduce any behavior change.

* block: attempt to merge with existing requests on plug flushJens Axboe2011-03-211-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized. Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE. It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail merging). This fixes a regression with multiple processes issuing IO that can be merged. Thanks to Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> for testing and fixing an accounting bug.

When a bio is merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE. The detailed root cause is as follows. Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2. 1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight is 0 and sda2's one is 1. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | 0 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- 2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's hd_struct->in_flight are not changed. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | 0 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- 3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case, sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | -1 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on the number of lookups we have to do. Also add a refcount to struct hd_struct to keep the partition in memory as long as users exist. We use kref_test_and_get() to ensure we don't add a reference to a partition which is going away.

* | block: Deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use queue_limits insteadMartin K. Petersen2010-12-171-3/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a metadevice. There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver. The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing. We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking. Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.
