Remove the hack where we allocate an extra bi_io_vec to store additional private data. This hack prevents us from supporting barriers in dm-raid1 without first making another little block layer change. Instead of doing that, this patch eliminates the bi_io_vec abuse by storing the region number directly in the low bits of bi_private. We need to store two things for each bio, the pointer to the main io structure and, if parallel writes were requested, an index indicating which of these writes this bio belongs to. There can be at most BITS_PER_LONG regions - 32 or 64. The index (region number) was stored in the last (hidden) bio vector and the pointer to struct io was stored in bi_private. This patch now aligns "struct io" on BITS_PER_LONG bytes and stores the region number in the low BITS_PER_LONG bits of bi_private.

Allocate "struct io" from a slab. This patch changes dm-io, so that "struct io" is allocated from a slab cache. It used to be allocated with kmalloc. Allocating from a slab will be needed for the next patch, because it requires a special alignment of "struct io" and kmalloc cannot meet this alignment.

If -EOPNOTSUPP was returned and the request was a barrier request, retry it without barrier. Retry all regions for now. Barriers are submitted only for one-region requests, so it doesn't matter.

If someone sends signal to a process performing synchronous dm-io call, the kernel may crash. The function sync_io attempts to exit with -EINTR if it has pending signal, however the structure "io" is allocated on stack, so already submitted io requests end up touching unallocated stack space and corrupting kernel memory. sync_io sets its state to TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE, so the signal can't break out of io_schedule() --- however, if the signal was pending before sync_io entered while (1) loop, the corruption of kernel memory will happen. There is no way to cancel in-progress IOs, so the best solution is to ignore signals at this point.

dm-io calls bio_get_nr_vecs to get the maximum number of pages to use for a given device. It allocates one additional bio_vec to use internally but failed to respect BIO_MAX_PAGES, so fix this.

Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one in each bio_set that is created. 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. File systems may want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio. Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now possible. Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Remove an avoidable 3ms delay on some dm-raid1 and kcopyd I/O. It is specified that any submitted bio without BIO_RW_SYNC flag may plug the queue (i.e. block the requests from being dispatched to the physical device). The queue is unplugged when the caller calls blk_unplug() function. Usually, the sequence is that someone calls submit_bh to submit IO on a buffer. The IO plugs the queue and waits (to be possibly joined with other adjacent bios). Then, when the caller calls wait_on_buffer(), it unplugs the queue and submits the IOs to the disk. This was happenning: When doing O_SYNC writes, function fsync_buffers_list() submits a list of bios to dm_raid1, the bios are added to dm_raid1 write queue and kmirrord is woken up. fsync_buffers_list() calls wait_on_buffer(). That unplugs the queue, but there are no bios on the device queue as they are still in the dm_raid1 queue. wait_on_buffer() starts waiting until the IO is finished. kmirrord is scheduled, kmirrord takes bios and submits them to the devices. The submitted bio plugs the harddisk queue but there is no one to unplug it. (The process that called wait_on_buffer() is already sleeping.) So there is a 3ms timeout, after which the queues on the harddisks are unplugged and requests are processed. This 3ms timeout meant that in certain workloads (e.g. O_SYNC, 8kb writes), dm-raid1 is 10 times slower than md raid1. Every time we submit something asynchronously via dm_io, we must unplug the queue actually to send the request to the device. This patch adds an unplug call to kmirrord - while processing requests, it keeps the queue plugged (so that adjacent bios can be merged); when it finishes processing all the bios, it unplugs the queue to submit the bios. It also fixes kcopyd which has the same potential problem. All kcopyd requests are submitted with BIO_RW_SYNC.

Currently we scale the mempool sizes depending on memory installed in the machine, except for the bio pool itself which sits at a fixed 256 entry pre-allocation. There's really no point in "optimizing" this OOM path, we just need enough preallocated to make progress. A single unit is enough, lets scale it down to 2 just to be on the safe side. This patch saves ~150kb of pinned kernel memory on a 32-bit box. Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
