      block: hide request sector and data_len · a2dec7b3
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Block low level drivers for some reason have been pretty good at
      abusing block layer API.  Especially struct request's fields tend to
      get violated in all possible ways.  Make it clear that low level
      drivers MUST NOT access or manipulate rq->sector and rq->data_len
      directly by prefixing them with double underscores.
      
      This change is also necessary to break build of out-of-tree codes
      which assume the previous block API where internal fields can be
      manipulated and rq->data_len carries residual count on completion.

      Now that all block request data transfer is done via bio, rq->data
      isn't used.  Kill it.
      
      While at it, make the roles of rq->special and buffer clear.

      block: move the padding adjustment to blk_rq_map_sg · f18573ab
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      blk_rq_map_user adjusts bi_size of the last bio. It breaks the rule
      that req->data_len (the true data length) is equal to sum(bio). It
      broke the scsi command completion code.
      
      commit e97a294e was introduced to fix
      the above issue. However, the partial completion code doesn't work
      with it. The commit is also a layer violation (scsi mid-layer should
      not know about the block layer's padding).
      
      This patch moves the padding adjustment to blk_rq_map_sg (suggested by
      James). The padding works like the drain buffer. This patch breaks the
      rule that req->data_len is equal to sum(sg), however, the drain buffer
      already broke it. So this patch just restores the rule that
      req->data_len is equal to sub(bio) without breaking anything new.
      
      Now when a low level driver needs padding, blk_rq_map_user and
      blk_rq_map_user_iov guarantee there's enough room for padding.
      blk_rq_map_sg can safely extend the last entry of a scatter list.
      
      blk_rq_map_sg must extend the last entry of a scatter list only for a
      request that got through bio_copy_user_iov. This patches introduces
      new REQ_COPY_USER flag.

      block: add bio_copy_user_iov support to blk_rq_map_user_iov · afdc1a78
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      With this patch, blk_rq_map_user_iov uses bio_copy_user_iov when a low
      level driver needs padding or a buffer in sg_iovec isn't aligned. That
      is, it uses temporary kernel buffers instead of mapping user pages
      directly.
      
      When a LLD needs padding, later blk_rq_map_sg needs to extend the last
      entry of a scatter list. bio_copy_user_iov guarantees that there is
      enough space for padding by using temporary kernel buffers instead of
      user pages.
      
      blk_rq_map_user_iov needs buffers in sg_iovec to be aligned. The
      comment in blk_rq_map_user_iov indicates that drivers/scsi/sg.c also
      needs buffers in sg_iovec to be aligned. Actually, drivers/scsi/sg.c
      works with unaligned buffers in sg_iovec (it always uses temporary
      kernel buffers).

      block: add request->raw_data_len · 6b00769f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      With padding and draining moved into it, block layer now may extend
      requests as directed by queue parameters, so now a request has two
      sizes - the original request size and the extended size which matches
      the size of area pointed to by bios and later by sgs.  The latter size
      is what lower layers are primarily interested in when allocating,
      filling up DMA tables and setting up the controller.
      
      Both padding and draining extend the data area to accomodate
      controller characteristics.  As any controller which speaks SCSI can
      handle underflows, feeding larger data area is safe.
      
      So, this patch makes the primary data length field, request->data_len,
      indicate the size of full data area and add a separate length field,
      request->raw_data_len, for the unmodified request size.  The latter is
      used to report to higher layer (userland) and where the original
      request size should be fed to the controller or device.

      block: update bio according to DMA alignment padding · 40b01b9b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      DMA start address and transfer size alignment for PC requests are
      achieved using bio_copy_user() instead of bio_map_user().  This works
      because bio_copy_user() always uses full pages and block DMA alignment
      isn't allowed to go over PAGE_SIZE.
      
      However, the implementation didn't update the last bio of the request
      to make this padding visible to lower layers.  This patch makes
      blk_rq_map_user() extend the last bio such that it includes the
      padding area and the size of area pointed to by the request is
      properly aligned.
