      partitions: add ->set_capacity block device method · db429e9e
      Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 提交于
      * Add ->set_capacity block device method and use it in rescan_partitions()
        to attempt enabling native capacity of the device upon detecting the
        partition which exceeds device capacity.
      
      * Add GENHD_FL_NATIVE_CAPACITY flag to try limit attempts of enabling
        native capacity during partition scan.
      
      Together with the consecutive patch implementing ->set_capacity method in
      ide-gd device driver this allows automatic disabling of Host Protected Area
      (HPA) if any partitions overlapping HPA are detected.

      block: Export I/O topology for block devices and partitions · c72758f3
      Martin K. Petersen 提交于
      To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we
      need to ensure proper alignment.  This patch adds support for exposing
      I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked.
      
        logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address.
      
        physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write
        without incurring a read-modify-write penalty.
      
        The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by
        the device.  In many cases this is the same as the physical block
        size.  However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking
        (RAID5 chunk size > physical block size).
      
        The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by
        the device.  This is usually the stripe width for arrays.
      
        The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start
        of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment.
        Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets
        so filesystems start on proper boundaries.

      block: add one-hit cache for disk partition lookup · a6f23657
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      disk_map_sector_rcu() returns a partition from a sector offset,
      which we use for IO statistics on a per-partition basis. The
      lookup itself is an O(N) list lookup, where N is the number of
      partitions. This actually hurts performance quite a bit, even
      on the lower end partitions. On higher numbered partitions,
      it can get pretty bad.
      
      Solve this by adding a one-hit cache for partition lookup.
      This makes the lookup O(1) for the case where we do most IO to
      one partition. Even for mixed partition workloads, amortized cost
      is pretty close to O(1) since the natural IO batching makes the
      one-hit cache last for lots of IOs.

      Now that disk and partition handlings are mostly unified, it's easy to
      allow disk to have extended device number.  This patch makes
      add_disk() use extended device number if disk->minors is zero.  Both
      sd and ide-disk are updated to use this.
      
      * sd_format_disk_name() is implemented which can generically determine
        the drive name.  This removes disk number restriction stemming from
        limited device names.
      
      * If sd index goes over SD_MAX_DISKS (which can be increased now BTW),
        sd simply doesn't initialize minors letting block layer choose
        extended device number.
      
      * If CONFIG_DEBUG_EXT_DEVT is set, both sd and ide-disk always set
        minors to 0 and use extended device numbers.

      genhd and partition code handled disk and partitions separately.  All
      information about the whole disk was in struct genhd and partitions in
      struct hd_struct.  However, the whole disk (part0) and other
      partitions have a lot in common and the data structures end up having
      good number of common fields and thus separate code paths doing the
      same thing.  Also, the partition array was indexed by partno - 1 which
      gets pretty confusing at times.
      
      This patch introduces partition 0 and makes the partition array
      indexed by partno.  Following patches will unify the handling of disk
      and parts piece-by-piece.
      
      This patch also implements disk_partitionable() which tests whether a
      disk is partitionable.  With coming dynamic partition array change,
      the most common usage of disk_max_parts() will be testing whether a
      disk is partitionable and the number of max partitions will become

      Implement extended device numbers.  A block driver can tell block
      layer that it wants to use extended device numbers.  After the usual
      minor space is used up, block layer automatically allocates devt's
      from EXT_BLOCK_MAJOR.
      
      Currently only one major number is allocated for this but as the
      allocation is strictly on-demand, ~1mil minor space under it should
      suffice unless the system actually has more than ~1mil partitions and
      if that ever happens adding more majors to the extended devt area is
      easy.
      
      Due to internal implementation issues, the first partition can't be
      allocated on the extended area.  In other words, genhd->minors should
      at least be 1.  This limitation will be lifted by later changes.

      block: fix diskstats access · c9959059
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
      underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
      disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters.  It's unclear
      whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
      entry as some callers don't do that.
      
      This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
      and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
      access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access).  diskstats access
      should always be enclosed between the two functions.  As such, there's
      no need for the versions which disables preemption.  They're removed
      and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars.  As an
      extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
      unconverted.
      
      disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
      diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
      argument to help RT.
      
      This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
      collapses several preemption ops into one at others.  Overall, the
      performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
      very lightweight per-cpu ones.

      block: move cmdfilter from gendisk to request_queue · abf54393
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      cmd_filter works only for the block layer SG_IO with SCSI block
      devices. It breaks scsi/sg.c, bsg, and the block layer SG_IO with SCSI
      character devices (such as st). We hit a kernel crash with them.
      
      The problem is that cmd_filter code accesses to gendisk (having struct
      blk_scsi_cmd_filter) via inode->i_bdev->bd_disk. It works for only
      SCSI block device files. With character device files, inode->i_bdev
      leads you to struct cdev. inode->i_bdev->bd_disk->blk_scsi_cmd_filter
      isn't safe.
      
      SCSI ULDs don't expose gendisk; they keep it private. bsg needs to be
      independent on any protocols. We shouldn't change ULDs to expose their
      gendisk.
      
      This patch moves struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter from gendisk to
      request_queue, a common object, which eveyone can access to.
      
      The user interface doesn't change; users can change the filters via
      /sys/block/. gendisk has a pointer to request_queue so the cmd_filter
      code accesses to struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter.
