      s390/dasd: Fail all requests when DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO is set · 5ea34a01
      Hannes Reinecke 提交于
      Whenever a DASD request encounters a timeout we might
      need to abort all outstanding requests on this or
      even other devices.
      
      This is especially useful if one wants to fail all
      devices on one side of a RAID10 configuration, even
      though only one device exhibited an error.
      
      To handle this I've introduced a new device flag
      DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO.
      This flag is evaluated in __dasd_process_request_queue()
      and will invoke blk_abort_request() for all
      outstanding requests with DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST set.
      This will cause any of these requests to be aborted
      immediately if the blk_timeout function is activated.
      
      The DASD_FLAG_ABORTIO is also evaluated in
      __dasd_process_request_queue to abort all
      new request which would have the
      DASD_CQR_FLAGS_FAILFAST bit set.
      
      The flag can be set with the new ioctls 'BIODASDABORTIO'
      and removed with 'BIODASDALLOWIO'.

      s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names · a53c8fab
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
      cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.
      
      Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
      different statements and wanted to change them one after another
      whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
      people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
      for new files.
      So unify all of them in one go.

      [S390] dasd: add enhanced DASD statistics interface · 4fa52aa7
      Stefan Weinhuber 提交于
      This patch extends the DASD statistics to allow for a more detailed
      analysis of DASD I/O operations. In particular we want the statistics
      to provide answers to the following questions:
      - How many requests used a PAV alias?
      - How many requests used High Performance FICON?
      - How do read request perform versus write requests?
      
      The existing DASD statistics interface has several shortcomings
      - The interface for global data is a formatted text table in procfs
        (/proc/dasd/statistics). The layout is meant for human readers and
        is not to easy to parse. If values get to large for the table
        layout, they get scaled down.
      - The statistics which are collected per block device can be
        accessed via an ioctl interface, which can only be extended by
        defining a new ioctl.
      - There is no statistics interface for individual PAV base and alias
        devices.
      
      To overcome theses shortcomings we create a new DASD statistics
      interface in debugfs. This interface will contain one entry for global
      data, one per DASD block device, and one per DASD base and alias
      device. Each file contains the statistic data in easy to parse
      name/value and name/array pairs. The existing interfaces will remain
      functional, but they will not be extended.

      [S390] dasd: fix race between open and offline · 65f8da47
      Stefan Weinhuber 提交于
      The dasd_open function uses the private_data pointer of the gendisk to
      find the dasd_block structure that matches the gendisk. When a DASD
      device is set offline, we set the private_data pointer of the gendisk
      to NULL and later remove the dasd_block structure, but there is still
      a small race window, in which dasd_open could first read a pointer
      from the private_data field and then try to use it, after the structure
      has already been freed.
      To close this race window, we will store a pointer to the dasd_devmap
      structure of the base device in the private_data field. The devmap
      entries are not deleted, and we already have proper locking and
      reference counting in place, so that we can safely get from a devmap
      pointer to the dasd_device and dasd_block structures of the device.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      [S390] dasd: improve error recovery for internal I/O · eb6e199b
      Stefan Weinhuber 提交于
      Most of the error conditions reported by a FICON storage server
      indicate situations which can be recovered. Sometimes the host just
      needs to retry an I/O request, but sometimes the recovery
      is more complex and requires the device driver to wait, choose
      a different path, etc.
      
      The DASD device driver has a fully featured error recovery
      for normal block layer I/O, but not for internal I/O request which
      are for example used during the device bring up.
      This can lead to situations where the IPL of a system fails because
      DASD devices are not properly recognized.
      This patch will extend the internal I/O handling to use the existing
      error recovery procedures.

      [S390] dasd: add hyper PAV support to DASD device driver, part 1 · 8e09f215
      Stefan Weinhuber 提交于
      Parallel access volumes (PAV) is a storage server feature, that allows
      to start multiple channel programs on the same DASD in parallel. It
      defines alias devices which can be used as alternative paths to the
      same disk. With the old base PAV support we only needed rudimentary
      functionality in the DASD device driver. As the mapping between base
      and alias devices was static, we just had to export an identifier
      (uid) and could leave the combining of devices to external layers
      like a device mapper multipath.
      Now hyper PAV removes the requirement to dedicate alias devices to
      specific base devices. Instead each alias devices can be combined with
      multiple base device on a per request basis. This requires full
      support by the DASD device driver as now each channel program itself
      has to identify the target base device.
      The changes to the dasd device driver and the ECKD discipline are:
      - Separate subchannel device representation (dasd_device) from block
        device representation (dasd_block). Only base devices are block
        devices.
      - Gather information about base and alias devices and possible
        combinations.
      - For each request decide which dasd_device should be used (base or
        alias) and build specific channel program.
      - Support summary unit checks, which allow the storage server to
        upgrade / downgrade between base and hyper PAV at runtime (support
        is mandatory).

      [PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method · a885c8c4
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
      duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
      the start sector.  This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
      ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure.  For many
      drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.
      
      [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect.  xpram sets ->start
          to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
          the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
          sector size.
