      dm: relax ordering of bio-based flush implementation · 6a8736d1
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA doesn't mandate any ordering
      against other bio's.  This patch relaxes ordering around flushes.
      
      * A flush bio is no longer deferred to workqueue directly.  It's
        processed like other bio's but __split_and_process_bio() uses
        md->flush_bio as the clone source.  md->flush_bio is initialized to
        empty flush during md initialization and shared for all flushes.
      
      * As a flush bio now travels through the same execution path as other
        bio's, there's no need for dedicated error handling path either.  It
        can use the same error handling path in dec_pending().  Dedicated
        error handling removed along with md->flush_error.
      
      * When dec_pending() detects that a flush has completed, it checks
        whether the original bio has data.  If so, the bio is queued to the
        deferred list w/ REQ_FLUSH cleared; otherwise, it's completed.
      
      * As flush sequencing is handled in the usual issue/completion path,
        dm_wq_work() no longer needs to handle flushes differently.  Now its
        only responsibility is re-issuing deferred bio's the same way as
        _dm_request() would.  REQ_FLUSH handling logic including
        process_flush() is dropped.
      
      * There's no reason for queue_io() and dm_wq_work() write lock
        dm->io_lock.  queue_io() now only uses md->deferred_lock and
        dm_wq_work() read locks dm->io_lock.
      
      * bio's no longer need to be queued on the deferred list while a flush
        is in progress making DMF_QUEUE_IO_TO_THREAD unncessary.  Drop it.
      
      This avoids stalling the device during flushes and simplifies the
      implementation.

      dm: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA support for request-based dm · 29e4013d
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch converts request-based dm to support the new REQ_FLUSH/FUA.
      
      The original request-based flush implementation depended on
      request_queue blocking other requests while a barrier sequence is in
      progress, which is no longer true for the new REQ_FLUSH/FUA.
      
      In general, request-based dm doesn't have infrastructure for cloning
      one source request to multiple targets, but the original flush
      implementation had a special mostly independent path which can issue
      flushes to multiple targets and sequence them.  However, the
      capability isn't currently in use and adds a lot of complexity.
      Moreoever, it's unlikely to be useful in its current form as it
      doesn't make sense to be able to send out flushes to multiple targets
      when write requests can't be.
      
      This patch rips out special flush code path and deals handles
      REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests the same way as other requests.  The only
      special treatment is that REQ_FLUSH requests use the block address 0
      when finding target, which is enough for now.
      
      * added BUG_ON(!dm_target_is_valid(ti)) in dm_request_fn() as

      dm: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA support for bio-based dm · d87f4c14
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch converts bio-based dm to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of
      now deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER.
      
      * -EOPNOTSUPP handling logic dropped.
      
      * Preflush is handled as before but postflush is dropped and replaced
        with passing down REQ_FUA to member request_queues.  This replaces
        one array wide cache flush w/ member specific FUA writes.
      
      * __split_and_process_bio() now calls __clone_and_map_flush() directly
        for flushes and guarantees all FLUSH bio's going to targets are zero
      `  length.
      
      * It's now guaranteed that all FLUSH bio's which are passed onto dm
        targets are zero length.  bio_empty_barrier() tests are replaced
        with REQ_FLUSH tests.
      
      * Empty WRITE_BARRIERs are replaced with WRITE_FLUSHes.
      
      * Dropped unlikely() around REQ_FLUSH tests.  Flushes are not unlikely
        enough to be marked with unlikely().
      
      * Block layer now filters out REQ_FLUSH/FUA bio's if the request_queue
        doesn't support cache flushing.  Advertise REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA
        capability.
      
      * Request based dm isn't converted yet.  dm_init_request_based_queue()
        resets flush support to 0 for now.  To avoid disturbing request
        based dm code, dm->flush_error is added for bio based dm while
        requested based dm continues to use dm->barrier_error.
      
      Lightly tested linear, stripe, raid1, snap and crypt targets.  Please
      proceed with caution as I'm not familiar with the code base.

      md: implment REQ_FLUSH/FUA support · e9c7469b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch converts md to support REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead of now
      deprecated REQ_HARDBARRIER.  In the core part (md.c), the following
      changes are notable.
      
      * Unlike REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA don't interfere with
        processing of other requests and thus there is no reason to mark the
        queue congested while FLUSH/FUA is in progress.
      
      * REQ_FLUSH/FUA failures are final and its users don't need retry
        logic.  Retry logic is removed.
      
      * Preflush needs to be issued to all member devices but FUA writes can
        be handled the same way as other writes - their processing can be
        deferred to request_queue of member devices.  md_barrier_request()
        is renamed to md_flush_request() and simplified accordingly.
      
      For linear, raid0 and multipath, the core changes are enough.  raid1,
      5 and 10 need the following conversions.
      
      * raid1: Handling of FLUSH/FUA bio's can simply be deferred to
        request_queues of member devices.  Barrier related logic removed.
      
      * raid5: Queue draining logic dropped.  FUA bit is propagated through
        biodrain and stripe resconstruction such that all the updated parts
        of the stripe are written out with FUA writes if any of the dirtying
        writes was FUA.  preread_active_stripes handling in make_request()
        is updated as suggested by Neil Brown.
      
      * raid10: FUA bit needs to be propagated to write clones.
      
      linear, raid0, 1, 5 and 10 tested.

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      While completing a request from a REQ_FLUSH/FUA sequence, another
      request can be pushed to the request queue.  If a driver tests
      elv_queue_empty() before completing a request and runs the queue again
      only if the queue wasn't empty, this may lead to hang.  Please note
      that most drivers either kick the queue unconditionally or test queue
      emptiness after completing the current request and don't have this

      This patch removes this possibility by making REQ_FLUSH/FUA sequence

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Now that the backend conversion is complete, export sequenced
      FLUSH/FUA capability through REQ_FLUSH/FUA flags.  REQ_FLUSH means the
      device cache should be flushed before executing the request.  REQ_FUA
      means that the data in the request should be on non-volatile media on
      completion.
      
      Block layer will choose the correct way of implementing the semantics
      and execute it.  The request may be passed to the device directly if
      the device can handle it; otherwise, it will be sequenced using one or
      more proxy requests.  Devices will never see REQ_FLUSH and/or FUA
      which it doesn't support.
      
      Also, unlike the original REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests are
      never failed with -EOPNOTSUPP.  If the underlying device doesn't
      support FLUSH/FUA, the block layer simply make those noop.  IOW, it no
      longer distinguishes between writeback cache which doesn't support
      cache flush and writethrough/no cache.  Devices which have WB cache
      w/o flush are very difficult to come by these days and there's nothing
      much we can do anyway, so it doesn't make sense to require everyone to
      implement -EOPNOTSUPP handling.  This will simplify filesystems and
      block drivers as they can drop -EOPNOTSUPP retry logic for barriers.
      
      * QUEUE_ORDERED_* are removed and QUEUE_FSEQ_* are moved into
        blk-flush.c.
      
      * REQ_FLUSH w/o data can also be directly passed to drivers without
        sequencing but some drivers assume that zero length requests don't
        have rq->bio which isn't true for these requests requiring the use
        of proxy requests.
      
      * REQ_COMMON_MASK now includes REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA so that they are
        copied from bio to request.

      block: drop barrier ordering by queue draining · 28e7d184
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Filesystems will take all the responsibilities for ordering requests
      around commit writes and will only indicate how the commit writes
      themselves should be handled by block layers.  This patch drops
      barrier ordering by queue draining from block layer.  Ordering by
      draining implementation was somewhat invasive to request handling.
      List of notable changes follow.
      
      * Each queue has 1 bit color which is flipped on each barrier issue.
        This is used to track whether a given request is issued before the
        current barrier or not.  REQ_ORDERED_COLOR flag and coloring
        implementation in __elv_add_request() are removed.
      
      * Requests which shouldn't be processed yet for draining were stalled
        by returning -EAGAIN from blk_do_ordered() according to the test
        result between blk_ordered_req_seq() and blk_blk_ordered_cur_seq().
        This logic is removed.
      
      * Draining completion logic in elv_completed_request() removed.
      
      * All barrier sequence requests were queued to request queue and then
        trckled to lower layer according to progress and thus maintaining
        request orders during requeue was necessary.  This is replaced by
        queueing the next request in the barrier sequence only after the
        current one is complete from blk_ordered_complete_seq(), which
        removes the need for multiple proxy requests in struct request_queue
        and the request sorting logic in the ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE path of
        elv_insert().
      
      * As barriers no longer have ordering constraints, there's no need to
        dump the whole elevator onto the dispatch queue on each barrier.
        Insert barriers at the front instead.
      
      * If other barrier requests come to the front of the dispatch queue
        while one is already in progress, they are stored in
        q->pending_barriers and restored to dispatch queue one-by-one after
        each barrier completion from blk_ordered_complete_seq().

      block: misc cleanups in barrier code · dd831006
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Make the following cleanups in preparation of barrier/flush update.
      
      * blk_do_ordered() declaration is moved from include/linux/blkdev.h to
        block/blk.h.
      
      * blk_do_ordered() now returns pointer to struct request, with %NULL
        meaning "try the next request" and ERR_PTR(-EAGAIN) "try again
        later".  The third case will be dropped with further changes.
      
      * In the initialization of proxy barrier request, data direction is
        already set by init_request_from_bio().  Drop unnecessary explicit
        REQ_WRITE setting and move init_request_from_bio() above REQ_FUA
        flag setting.
      
      * add_request() is collapsed into __make_request().
      
      These changes don't make any functional difference.

      block: remove spurious uses of REQ_HARDBARRIER · 9cbbdca4
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      REQ_HARDBARRIER is deprecated.  Remove spurious uses in the following
      users.  Please note that other than osdblk, all other uses were
      already spurious before deprecation.
      
      * osdblk: osdblk_rq_fn() won't receive any request with
        REQ_HARDBARRIER set.  Remove the test for it.
      
      * pktcdvd: use of REQ_HARDBARRIER in pkt_generic_packet() doesn't mean
        anything.  Removed.
      
      * aic7xxx_old: Setting MSG_ORDERED_Q_TAG on REQ_HARDBARRIER is
        spurious.  Removed.
      
      * sas_scsi_host: Setting TASK_ATTR_ORDERED on REQ_HARDBARRIER is
        spurious.  Removed.
      
      * scsi_tcq: The ordered tag path wasn't being used anyway.  Removed.

      block: deprecate barrier and replace blk_queue_ordered() with blk_queue_flush() · 4913efe4
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA
      requests.  Deprecate barrier.  All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
      -EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
      blk_queue_flush().
      
      blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA.  If a
      device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH.  If
      the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.
      
      All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.
      
      * ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
      * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
      * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Nobody is making meaningful use of ORDERED_BY_TAG now and queue
      draining for barrier requests will be removed soon which will render
      the advantage of tag ordering moot.  Kill ORDERED_BY_TAG.  The
      following users are affected.
      
      * brd: converted to ORDERED_DRAIN.
      * virtio_blk: ORDERED_TAG path was already marked deprecated.  Removed.
      * xen-blkfront: ORDERED_TAG case dropped.

      block/loop: queue ordered mode should be DRAIN_FLUSH · 589d7ed0
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      loop implements FLUSH using fsync but was incorrectly setting its
      ordered mode to DRAIN.  Change it to DRAIN_FLUSH.  In practice, this
      doesn't change anything as loop doesn't make use of the block layer
      ordered implementation.

      ide: remove unnecessary blk_queue_flushing() test in do_ide_request() · 0da2f509
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Unplugging from a request function doesn't really help much (it's
      already in the request_fn) and soon block layer will be updated to mix
      barrier sequence with other commands, so there's no need to treat
      queue flushing any differently.
      
      ide was the only user of blk_queue_flushing().  Remove it.
