      block: add a bi_error field to struct bio · 4246a0b6
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
      
       (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
       (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
      
      The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
      error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
      when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
      bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
      available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
      and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
      them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
      of error returns.
      
      So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
      bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

      drivers: xen-blkfront: only talk_to_blkback() when in XenbusStateInitialising · a9b54bb9
      Bob Liu 提交于
      Patch 69b91ede
      "drivers: xen-blkback: delay pending_req allocation to connect_ring"
      exposed an problem that Xen blkfront has. There is a race
      with XenStored and the drivers such that we can see two:
      
      vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 2.
      vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 2.
      vbd vbd-268440320: blkfront:blkback_changed to state 4.
      
      state changes to XenbusStateInitWait ('2'). The end result is that
      blkback_changed() receives two notify and calls twice setup_blkring().
      
      While the backend driver may only get the first setup_blkring() which is
      wrong and reads out-dated (or reads them as they are being updated
      with new ring-ref values).
      
      The end result is that the ring ends up being incorrectly set.
      
      The other drivers in the tree have such checks already in.

      xen/block: add multi-page ring support · 86839c56
      Bob Liu 提交于
      Extend xen/block to support multi-page ring, so that more requests can be
      issued by using more than one pages as the request ring between blkfront
      and backend.
      As a result, the performance can get improved significantly.
      
      We got some impressive improvements on our highend iscsi storage cluster
      backend. If using 64 pages as the ring, the IOPS increased about 15 times
      for the throughput testing and above doubled for the latency testing.
      
      The reason was the limit on outstanding requests is 32 if use only one-page
      ring, but in our case the iscsi lun was spread across about 100 physical
      drives, 32 was really not enough to keep them busy.
      
      Changes in v2:
       - Rebased to 4.0-rc6.
       - Document on how multi-page ring feature working to linux io/blkif.h.
      
      Changes in v3:
       - Remove changes to linux io/blkif.h and follow the protocol defined
         in io/blkif.h of XEN tree.
       - Rebased to 4.1-rc3
      
      Changes in v4:
       - Turn to use 'ring-page-order' and 'max-ring-page-order'.
       - A few comments from Roger.
      
      Changes in v5:
       - Clarify with 4k granularity to comment

      driver: xen-blkfront: move talk_to_blkback to a more suitable place · 8ab0144a
      Bob Liu 提交于
      The major responsibility of talk_to_blkback() is allocate and initialize
      the request ring and write the ring info to xenstore.
      But this work should be done after backend entered 'XenbusStateInitWait' as
      defined in the protocol file.
      See xen/include/public/io/blkif.h in XEN git tree:

      xen-blkfront: remove type check from blkfront_setup_discard · 1c8cad6c
      Olaf Hering 提交于
      In its initial implementation a check for "type" was added, but only phy
      and file are handled. This breaks advertised discard support for other
      type values such as qdisk.
      
      Fix and simplify this function: If the backend advertises discard
      support it is supposed to implement it properly, so enable
      feature_discard unconditionally. If the backend advertises the need for
      a certain granularity and alignment then propagate both properties to
      the blocklayer. The discard-secure property is a boolean, update the code
      to reflect that.

      block: remove struct request buffer member · b4f42e28
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
      yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
      transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
      most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
      pointing at anything valid.
      
      Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().
      
      For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
      in the bio.

      xen/pvhvm: If xen_platform_pci=0 is set don't blow up (v4). · 51c71a3b
      Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 提交于
      The user has the option of disabling the platform driver:
      00:02.0 Unassigned class [ff80]: XenSource, Inc. Xen Platform Device (rev 01)
      
      which is used to unplug the emulated drivers (IDE, Realtek 8169, etc)
      and allow the PV drivers to take over. If the user wishes
      to disable that they can set:
      
        xen_platform_pci=0
        (in the guest config file)
      
      or
        xen_emul_unplug=never
        (on the Linux command line)
      
      except it does not work properly. The PV drivers still try to
      load and since the Xen platform driver is not run - and it
      has not initialized the grant tables, most of the PV drivers
      stumble upon:

      which is hardly nice. This patch fixes this by having each
      PV driver check for:
       - if running in PV, then it is fine to execute (as that is their
         native environment).
       - if running in HVM, check if user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=never',
         in which case bail out and don't load any PV drivers.
       - if running in HVM, and if PCI device 5853:0001 (xen_platform_pci)
         does not exist, then bail out and not load PV drivers.
       - (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=ide-disks',
         then bail out for all PV devices _except_ the block one.
         Ditto for the network one ('nics').
       - (v2) if running in HVM, and if the user wanted 'xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary'
         then load block PV driver, and also setup the legacy IDE paths.
         In (v3) make it actually load PV drivers.
