      dm: use bioset_create_nobvec() · 3d8aab2d
      Junichi Nomura 提交于
      Since DM core uses bio_clone_fast() for both bio-based and request-based
      DM devices there is no need for DM's bioset to have a bvec mempool.
      
      With this patch, on arch with 4KB page for example, memory usage will be
      reduced by 64KB for each bio-based DM device and 1MB for each
      request-based DM device.
      
      For example, when you create 10,000 bio-based DM devices and 1,000
      request-based DM devices, memory usage of biovec under no load is:
        # grep biovec /proc/slabinfo
      
        biovec-256        418068 418068   4096  ...
        biovec-128             0      0   2048  ...
        biovec-64              0      0   1024  ...
        biovec-16              0      0    256  ...
      
      With this patch series applied, the usage becomes:
        # grep biovec /proc/slabinfo
      
        biovec-256           116    116   4096  ...
        biovec-128             0      0   2048  ...
        biovec-64              0      0   1024  ...
        biovec-16              0      0    256  ...
      
      So 4096 * (418068 - 116) = 1.6GB of memory is saved in this example.

      dm: remove nr_iovecs parameter from alloc_tio() · 99778273
      Junichi Nomura 提交于
      alloc_tio() uses bio_alloc_bioset() to allocate a clone-bio for a bio.
      alloc_tio() takes the number of bvecs to allocate for the clone-bio.
      However, with v3.14's immutable biovec changes DM now uses
      __bio_clone_fast() and no longer needs to allocate bvecs.
      
      In practice, the 'nr_iovecs' passed to alloc_tio() is always effectively
      0.  __clone_and_map_simple_bio() looked like it was passing non-zero
      nr_iovecs, but its value was always within the range of inline bvecs and
      no allocation actually happened.  If allocation happened, the BUG_ON() in
      __bio_clone_fast() would've triggered.
      
      Remove the nr_iovecs parameter from alloc_tio() to prevent possible
      future bio_alloc_bioset() mis-use of a new bioset interface that will no
      longer allow bvecs to be allocated.
      
      Also fix extra whitespace before the __bio_clone_fast() call in
      __clone_and_map_simple_bio().

      block: Replace strnicmp with strncasecmp · 58294050
      Rasmus Villemoes 提交于
      The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited,
      case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics
      and a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so
      strnicmp was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper
      for the new strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users.
      
      To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in
      the future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do
      s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.
