      blk-stat: convert to callback-based statistics reporting · 34dbad5d
      Omar Sandoval 提交于
      Currently, statistics are gathered in ~0.13s windows, and users grab the
      statistics whenever they need them. This is not ideal for both in-tree
      users:
      
      1. Writeback throttling wants its own dynamically sized window of
         statistics. Since the blk-stats statistics are reset after every
         window and the wbt windows don't line up with the blk-stats windows,
         wbt doesn't see every I/O.
      2. Polling currently grabs the statistics on every I/O. Again, depending
         on how the window lines up, we may miss some I/Os. It's also
         unnecessary overhead to get the statistics on every I/O; the hybrid
         polling heuristic would be just as happy with the statistics from the
         previous full window.
      
      This reworks the blk-stats infrastructure to be callback-based: users
      register a callback that they want called at a given time with all of
      the statistics from the window during which the callback was active.
      Users can dynamically bucketize the statistics. wbt and polling both
      currently use read vs. write, but polling can be extended to further
      subdivide based on request size.
      
      The callbacks are kept on an RCU list, and each callback has percpu
      stats buffers. There will only be a few users, so the overhead on the
      I/O completion side is low. The stats flushing is also simplified
      considerably: since the timer function is responsible for clearing the
      statistics, we don't have to worry about stale statistics.
      
      wbt is a trivial conversion. After the conversion, the windowing problem
      mentioned above is fixed.
      
      For polling, we register an extra callback that caches the previous
      window's statistics in the struct request_queue for the hybrid polling
      heuristic to use.
      
      Since we no longer have a single stats buffer for the request queue,
      this also removes the sysfs and debugfs stats entries. To replace those,
      we add a debugfs entry for the poll statistics.

      blk-stat: use READ and WRITE instead of BLK_STAT_{READ,WRITE} · fa2e39cb
      Omar Sandoval 提交于
      The stats buckets will become generic soon, so make the existing users
      use the common READ and WRITE definitions instead of one internal to
      blk-stat.

      block: fold cmd_type into the REQ_OP_ space · aebf526b
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it
      all into the operations.  The little caveat here is that previously
      cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op
      fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough
      operations.
      
      Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver
      private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we
      can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.
