      block: add bio_kmalloc() · 0a0d96b0
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Not all callers need (or want!) the mempool backing guarentee, it
      essentially means that you can only use bio_alloc() for short allocations
      and not for preallocating some bio's at setup or init time.
      
      So add bio_kmalloc() which does the same thing as bio_alloc(), except
      it just uses kmalloc() as the backing instead of the bio mempools.

      block: adjust blkdev_issue_discard for swap · 3e6053d7
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Two mods to blkdev_issue_discard(), thinking ahead to its use on swap:
      
      1. Add gfp_mask argument, so swap allocation can use it where GFP_KERNEL
         might deadlock but GFP_NOIO is safe.
      
      2. Enlarge nr_sects argument from unsigned to sector_t: unsigned long is
         enough to cover a whole swap area, but sector_t suits any partition.
      
      Change sb_issue_discard()'s nr_blocks to sector_t too; but no need seen
      for a gfp_mask there, just pass GFP_KERNEL down to blkdev_issue_discard().

      block: unify request timeout handling · 242f9dcb
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
      Move those bits to the block layer.
      
      Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
      and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
      tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
      less timer fiddling.

      Adjust block device size after an online resize of a disk. · c3279d14

      The revalidate_disk routine now checks if a disk has been resized by
      comparing the gendisk capacity to the bdev inode size.  If they are
      different (usually because the disk has been resized underneath the kernel)

      a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions
      of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper
      (bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask
      for completion on that specific CPU.
      
      In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much
      as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired.

      work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp

      This patch introduces partition 0 and makes the partition array

      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

      minor space is used up, block layer automatically allocates devt's

      if that ever happens adding more majors to the extended devt area is

      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: don't depend on consecutive minor space · f331c029
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      * Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly
        access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor.
      
        Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of
        block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as
        ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the
        disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary.  However,
        convert them for consistency.
      
      * Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing
        genhd->minors.
      
      * Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor
        space.
      
      * Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it
        the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).
      
      These changes clean up the code and will help disk->part dereference
      fix and extended block device numbers.

      block: make variable and argument names more consistent · cf771cb5
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      In hd_struct, @partno is used to denote partition number and a number
      of other places use @part to denote hd_struct.  Functions use @part
      and @index instead.  This causes confusion and makes it difficult to
      use consistent variable names for hd_struct.  Always use @partno if a
      variable represents partition number.
      
      Also, print out functions use @f or @part for seq_file argument.  Use
      @seqf uniformly instead.

      driver-core: use klist for class device list and implement iterator · 5a3ceb86
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Iterating over entries using callback usually isn't too fun especially
      when the entry being iterated over can't be manipulated freely.  This
      patch converts class->p->class_devices to klist and implements class
      device iterator so that the users can freely build their own control
      structure.  The users are also free to call back into class code
      without worrying about locking.
      
      class_for_each_device() and class_find_device() are converted to use
      the new iterators, so their users don't have to worry about locking
      anymore either.
      
      Note: This depends on klist-dont-iterate-over-deleted-entries patch
      because class_intf->add/remove_dev() depends on proper synchronization
      with device removal.

      klist: don't iterate over deleted entries · a1ed5b0c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      A klist entry is kept on the list till all its current iterations are
      finished; however, a new iteration after deletion also iterates over
      deleted entries as long as their reference count stays above zero.
      This causes problems for cases where there are users which iterate
      over the list while synchronized against list manipulations and
      natuarally expect already deleted entries to not show up during
      iteration.
      
      This patch implements dead flag which gets set on deletion so that
      iteration can skip already deleted entries.  The dead flag piggy backs
      on the lowest bit of knode->n_klist and only visible to klist
      implementation proper.
      
      While at it, drop klist_iter->i_head as it's redundant and doesn't
      offer anything in semantics or performance wise as klist_iter->i_klist
      is dereferenced on every iteration anyway.

      virtio_blk: use a wrapper function to access io context information of IO requests · 766ca442
      Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao 提交于
      struct request has an ioprio member but it is never updated because
      currently bios do not hold io context information. The implication of
      this is that virtio_blk ends up passing useless information to the
      backend driver.
      
      That said, some IO schedulers such as CFQ do store io context
      information in struct request, but use private members for that, which
      means that that information cannot be directly accessed in a IO
      scheduler-independent way.
      
      This patch adds a function to obtain the ioprio of a request. We should
      avoid accessing ioprio directly and use this function instead, so that
      its users do not have to care about future changes in block layer
      structures or what the currently active IO controller is.
      
      This patch does not introduce any functional changes but paves the way
      for future clean-ups and enhancements.
