      block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch · 9934c8c0
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
      A request is always acquired from the request queue via
      elv_next_request().  After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
      or process it without dequeueing.  Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
      to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
      
      Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
      allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
      segments only without considering request boundary.  However, the
      benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
      ambiguity is increasing.  Segment based drivers are usually for very
      old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
      difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
      and its more modern users.
      
      Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
      model.  This patch completes the API transition by...
      
      * renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
      
      * renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
      
      * adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
      
      * disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
      
      * applying new API to all LLDs
      
      Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
      it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

      [PATCH] beginning of methods conversion · d4430d62
      Al Viro 提交于
      To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
      to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
      	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
      prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
      	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
      are converted in this series.
      	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
      
      Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
      end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
      we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
      debugging if anything goes wrong.
      
      New methods:
      	open(bdev, mode)
      	release(disk, mode)
      	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */

      virtio: explicit advertisement of driver features · c45a6816
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
      some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
      negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.
      
      There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
      didn't notice when it was violated.
      
      So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
      in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
      core.  The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
      a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.
      
      Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
      bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
      straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.
      
      Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
      really have to.
      
      API changes:
      - dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
      - drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
      - use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits

      virtio: change config to guest endian. · 72e61eb4

      A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
      some flaws in the API, in particular how easy it is to break big
      endian machines.
      
      The virtio config space was originally chosen to be little-endian,
      because we thought the config might be part of the PCI config space
      for virtio_pci.  It's actually a separate mmio region, so that
      argument holds little water; as only x86 is currently using the virtio
      mechanism, we can change this (but must do so now, before the
      impending s390 merge).

      - __virtio_config_val() just becomes a striaght vdev->config_get() call.

      This patch goes on top of the minor number patch. Please let me know if
      you want a merged patch:
      
      Currently virtio_blk creates the disk name combinging "vd"  with 'a'++.
      This will give strange names after vdz. I have implemented names up to
      vdzzz - inspired by the sd.c code. That should be sufficient for now.
      
      There is one driver in the kernel (driver/s390/block/dasd_genhd.c) that
      implements names from dasda-dasdzzzz allowing even more disks. Maybe
      a janitor can come up with a common implementation usable for all kind
      of block device drivers.
      
      I have tested this patch with 100 disks - seems to work.

      virtio: reset function · 6e5aa7ef
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      A reset function solves three problems:
      
      1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
         guest driver without rebooting the guest.
      
      2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
         we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and
      
      3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.
      
      So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
      feature bits is via reset.
      
      We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
      the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
      remove function.

      Block driver using virtio. · e467cde2

      The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the
      request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector

      sg is the status byte.  Whether the N entries are in or out depends on
      whether it's a read or a write.
      
      We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other
      side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported.  It's
      not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know
      if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir().
      
      Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd,
