      blkio: Fix blkio crash during rq stat update · 7f1dc8a2
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      blkio + cfq was crashing even when two sequential readers were put in two
      separate cgroups (group_isolation=0).
      
      The reason being that cfqq can migrate across groups based on its being
      sync-noidle or not, it can happen that at request insertion time, cfqq
      belonged to one cfqg and at request dispatch time, it belonged to root
      group. In this case request stats per cgroup can go wrong and it also runs
      into BUG_ON().
      
      This patch implements rq stashing away a cfq group pointer and not relying
      on cfqq->cfqg pointer alone for rq stat accounting.

      blkio: Changes to IO controller additional stats patches · 84c124da
      Divyesh Shah 提交于
      that include some minor fixes and addresses all comments.
      
      Changelog: (most based on Vivek Goyal's comments)
      o renamed blkiocg_reset_write to blkiocg_reset_stats
      o more clarification in the documentation on io_service_time and io_wait_time
      o Initialize blkg->stats_lock
      o rename io_add_stat to blkio_add_stat and declare it static
      o use bool for direction and sync
      o derive direction and sync info from existing rq methods
      o use 12 for major:minor string length
      o define io_service_time better to cover the NCQ case
      o add a separate reset_stats interface
      o make the indexed stats a 2d array to simplify macro and function pointer code
      o blkio.time now exports in jiffies as before
      o Added stats description in patch description and
        Documentation/cgroup/blkio-controller.txt
      o Prefix all stats functions with blkio and make them static as applicable
      o replace IO_TYPE_MAX with IO_TYPE_TOTAL
      o Moved #define constant to top of blk-cgroup.c
      o Pass dev_t around instead of char *
      o Add note to documentation file about resetting stats
      o use BLK_CGROUP_MODULE in addition to BLK_CGROUP config option in #ifdef
        statements
      o Avoid struct request specific knowledge in blk-cgroup. blk-cgroup.h now has
        rq_direction() and rq_sync() functions which are used by CFQ and when using
        io-controller at a higher level, bio_* functions can be added.

      block: Allow devices to indicate whether discarded blocks are zeroed · 98262f27
      Martin K. Petersen 提交于
      The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device
      prior to putting metadata down.  However, not all devices return zeroed
      blocks after a discard.  Some drives return stale data, potentially
      containing old superblocks.  It is therefore important to know whether
      discarded blocks are properly zeroed.
      
      Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether
      zeroes are returned after a discard operation.  Implement a block level
      interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and
      queried via a new block device ioctl.

      block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages · 2d4dc890
      Ilya Loginov 提交于
      Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
      this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
      the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.
      
      The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
      pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
      flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
      flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
      equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.
      
      See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
      on LKML for more information.

      Currently we set the bio size to the byte equivalent of the blocks to

      is subject to the max_hw_sectors limitation of the HBA which is
      much lower than the size of a DISCARD request we can support.
      Add a separate max_discard_sectors tunable to limit the size for discard
      requests.
      
      We limit the max discard request size in bytes to 32bit as that is the
      limit for bio->bi_size.  This could be much larger if we had a way to pass

      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      prepare_discard_fn() was being called in a place where memory allocation
      was effectively impossible.  This makes it inappropriate for all but
      the most trivial translations of Linux's DISCARD operation to the block
      command set.  Additionally adding a payload there makes the ownership
      of the bio backing unclear as it's now allocated by the device driver
      and not the submitter as usual.
      
      It is replaced with QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD which is used to indicate whether
      the queue supports discard operations or not.  blkdev_issue_discard now
      allocates a one-page, sector-length payload which is the right thing
      for the common ATA and SCSI implementations.
      
      The mtd implementation of prepare_discard_fn() is replaced with simply
      checking for the request being a discard.

      Instead of just checking whether this device uses block layer

      This is important on high IOPS devices, since plugging hurts

      block: implement mixed merge of different failfast requests · 80a761fd
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Failfast has characteristics from other attributes.  When issuing,
      executing and successuflly completing requests, failfast doesn't make
      any difference.  It only affects how a request is handled on failure.
      Allowing requests with different failfast settings to be merged cause
      normal IOs to fail prematurely while not allowing has performance
      penalties as failfast is used for read aheads which are likely to be
      located near in-flight or to-be-issued normal IOs.
      
      This patch introduces the concept of 'mixed merge'.  A request is a
      mixed merge if it is merge of segments which require different
      handling on failure.  Currently the only mixable attributes are
      failfast ones (or lack thereof).
      
      When a bio with different failfast settings is added to an existing
      request or requests of different failfast settings are merged, the
      merged request is marked mixed.  Each bio carries failfast settings
      and the request always tracks failfast state of the first bio.  When
      the request fails, blk_rq_err_bytes() can be used to determine how
      many bytes can be safely failed without crossing into an area which
      requires further retrials.
      
      This allows request merging regardless of failfast settings while
      keeping the failure handling correct.
      
      This patch only implements mixed merge but doesn't enable it.  The
      next one will update SCSI to make use of mixed merge.

      bio and request use the same set of failfast bits.  This patch makes
      the following changes to simplify things.
      
      * enumify BIO_RW* bits and reorder bits such that BIOS_RW_FAILFAST_*
        bits coincide with __REQ_FAILFAST_* bits.
      
      * The above pushes BIO_RW_AHEAD out of sync with __REQ_FAILFAST_DEV
        but the matching is useless anyway.  init_request_from_bio() is
        responsible for setting FAILFAST bits on FS requests and non-FS
        requests never use BIO_RW_AHEAD.  Drop the code and comment from
        blk_rq_bio_prep().
      
      * Define REQ_FAILFAST_MASK which is OR of all FAILFAST bits and
        simplify FAILFAST flags handling in init_request_from_bio().
