      block: improve handling of the magic discard payload · f9d03f96
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      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.

      nvme: don't pass the full CQE to nvme_complete_async_event · 7bf58533
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      We only need the status and result fields, and passing them explicitly
      makes life a lot easier for the Fibre Channel transport which doesn't
      have a full CQE for the fast path case.

      nvme: introduce struct nvme_request · d49187e9
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      This adds a shared per-request structure for all NVMe I/O.  This structure
      is embedded as the first member in all NVMe transport drivers request
      private data and allows to implement common functionality between the
      drivers.
      
      The first use is to replace the current abuse of the SCSI command
      passthrough fields in struct request for the NVMe command passthrough,
      but it will grow a field more fields to allow implementing things
      like common abort handlers in the future.
      
      The passthrough commands are handled by having a pointer to the SQE
      (struct nvme_command) in struct nvme_request, and the union of the
      possible result fields, which had to be turned from an anonymous
      into a named union for that purpose.  This avoids having to pass
      a reference to a full CQE around and thus makes checking the result
      a lot more lightweight.
