| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers; to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following: 1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset. 2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers are converted in this series. 3) kill the old (renamed) methods. Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver debugging if anything goes wrong. New methods: open(bdev, mode) release(disk, mode) ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */ compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */ Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Christie2008-10-131-2/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* block: add lld busy state exporting interfaceKiyoshi Ueda2008-10-092-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an new interface, blk_lld_busy(), to check lld's busy state from the block layer. blk_lld_busy() calls down into low-level drivers for the checking if the drivers set q->lld_busy_fn() using blk_queue_lld_busy(). This resolves a performance problem on request stacking devices below. Some drivers like scsi mid layer stop dispatching request when they detect busy state on its low-level device like host/target/device. It allows other requests to stay in the I/O scheduler's queue for a chance of merging. Request stacking drivers like request-based dm should follow the same logic. However, there is no generic interface for the stacked device to check if the underlying device(s) are busy. If the request stacking driver dispatches and submits requests to the busy underlying device, the requests will stay in the underlying device's queue without a chance of merging. This causes performance problem on burst I/O load. With this patch, busy state of the underlying device is exported via q->lld_busy_fn(). So the request stacking driver can check it and stop dispatching requests if busy. The underlying device driver must return the busy state appropriately: 1: when the device driver can't process requests immediately. 0: when the device driver can process requests immediately, including abnormal situations where the device driver needs to kill all requests.

* block: add a queue flag for request stacking supportKiyoshi Ueda2008-10-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a queue flag to indicate the block device can be used for request stacking. Request stacking drivers need to stack their devices on top of only devices of which q->request_fn is functional. Since bio stacking drivers (e.g. md, loop) basically initialize their queue using blk_alloc_queue() and don't set q->request_fn, the check of (q->request_fn == NULL) looks enough for that purpose. However, dm will become both types of stacking driver (bio-based and request-based). And dm will always set q->request_fn even if the dm device is bio-based of which q->request_fn is not functional actually. So we need something else to distinguish the type of the device. Adding a queue flag is a solution for that. The reason why dm always sets q->request_fn is to keep the compatibility of dm user-space tools. Currently, all dm user-space tools are using bio-based dm without specifying the type of the dm device they use. To use request-based dm without changing such tools, the kernel must decide the type of the dm device automatically. The automatic type decision can't be done at the device creation time and needs to be deferred until such tools load a mapping table, since the actual type is decided by dm target type included in the mapping table. So a dm device has to be initialized using blk_init_queue() so that we can load either type of table. Then, all queue stuffs are set (e.g. q->request_fn) and we have no element to distinguish that it is bio-based or request-based, even after a table is loaded and the type of the device is decided. By the way, some stuffs of the queue (e.g. request_list, elevator) are needless when the dm device is used as bio-based. But the memory size is not so large (about 20[KB] per queue on ia64), so I hope the memory loss can be acceptable for bio-based dm users.

* block: add request submission interfaceKiyoshi Ueda2008-10-091-0/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds blk_insert_cloned_request(), a generic request submission interface for request stacking drivers. Request-based dm will use it to submit their clones to underlying devices. blk_rq_check_limits() is also added because it is possible that the lower queue has stronger limitations than the upper queue if multiple drivers are stacking at request-level. Not only for blk_insert_cloned_request()'s internal use, the function will be used by request-based dm when the queue limitation is modified (e.g. by replacing dm's table).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds blk_update_request(), which updates struct request with completing its data part, but doesn't complete the struct request itself. Though it looks like end_that_request_first() of older kernels, blk_update_request() should be used only by request stacking drivers. Request-based dm will use it in bio->bi_end_io callback to update the original request when a data part of a cloned request completes. Followings are additional background information of why request-based dm needs this interface. - Request stacking drivers can't use blk_end_request() directly from the lower driver's completion context (bio->bi_end_io or rq->end_io), because some device drivers (e.g. ide) may try to complete their request with queue lock held, and it may cause deadlock. See below for detailed description of possible deadlock: <http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120311479108569&w=2> - To solve that, request-based dm offloads the completion of cloned struct request to softirq context (i.e. using blk_complete_request() from rq->end_io). - Though it is possible to use the same solution from bio->bi_end_io, it will delay the notification of bio completion to the original submitter. Also, it will cause inefficient partial completion, because the lower driver can't perform the cloned request anymore and request-based dm needs to requeue and redispatch it to the lower driver again later. That's not good. - So request-based dm needs blk_update_request() to perform the bio completion in the lower driver's completion context, which is more efficient.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling. Move those bits to the block layer. Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot less timer fiddling.

* block: fix duplicate headers for /proc/partitionsTejun Heo2008-10-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | seqf can be started multiple times for a read and the header should be printed only for the initial one. Fix it. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: make blk_rq_map_user take a NULL user-space bufferFUJITA Tomonori2008-10-091-4/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes blk_rq_map_user to accept a NULL user-space buffer with a READ command if rq_map_data is not NULL. Thus a caller can pass page frames to lk_rq_map_user to just set up a request and bios with page frames propely. bio_uncopy_user (called via blk_rq_unmap_user) doesn't copy data to user space with such request.

* block: don't test for partition size in bdget_disk() and blk_lookup_devt()Tejun Heo2008-10-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bdget_disk() and blk_lookup_devt() never cared whether the specified partition (or disk) is zero sized or not. I got confused while converting those not to depend on consecutive minor numbers in commit 5a6411b1178baf534aa9138052864dfa89d3eada and later when dev0 was added it broke callers which expected to get valid return for zero sized disk devices. So, they never needed nr_sects checks in the first place. Kill them. This problem was spotted and debugged by Bartlmoiej Zolnierkiewicz.
