      block: kill merge_bvec_fn() completely · 8ae12666
      Kent Overstreet 提交于
      As generic_make_request() is now able to handle arbitrarily sized bios,
      it's no longer necessary for each individual block driver to define its
      own ->merge_bvec_fn() callback. Remove every invocation completely.

      block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios · 54efd50b
      Kent Overstreet 提交于
      The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths
      to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page())
      checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create
      bios that don't need to be split.
      
      But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with
      stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of
      complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could
      eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked
      drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are
      convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with
      both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the
      (potentially multiple) devices underneath them.  In the future this will
      let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code.
      
      We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various
      make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary
      size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to
      blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and
      blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing
      affecting segment merging.
      
      Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify
      they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are:
      
       * nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c)
       * axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c)
       * simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c)
       * brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c)
       * mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c)
       * loop_make_request
       * null_queue_bio
       * bcache's make_request fns
      
      Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left
      for future patches.

      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.

      Immutable biovecs are going to require an explicit iterator. To
      implement immutable bvecs, a later patch is going to add a bi_bvec_done
      member to this struct; for now, this patch effectively just renames
      things.

      drbd: avoid to shrink max_bio_size due to peer re-configuration · 35f47ef1
      Lars Ellenberg 提交于
      For a long time, the receiving side has spread "too large" incoming
      requests over multiple bios.  No need to shrink our max_bio_size
      (max_hw_sectors) if the peer is reconfigured to use a different storage.
      
      The problem manifests itself if we are not the top of the device stack
      (DRBD is used a LVM PV).
      
      A hardware reconfiguration on the peer may cause the supported
      max_bio_size to shrink, and the connection handshake would now
      unnecessarily shrink the max_bio_size on the active node.
      
      There is no way to notify upper layers that they have to "re-stack"
      their limits. So they won't notice at all, and may keep submitting bios
      that are suddenly considered "too large for device".
      
      We already check for compatibility and ignore changes on the peer,
      the code only was masked out unless we have a fully established connection.
      We just need to allow it a bit earlier during the handshake.
      
      Also consider max_hw_sectors in our merge bvec function, just in case.
