      block: improve queue_should_plug() by looking at IO depths · fb1e7538
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      Instead of just checking whether this device uses block layer
      tagging, we can improve the detection by looking at the maximum
      queue depth it has reached. If that crosses 4, then deem it a
      queuing device.
      
      This is important on high IOPS devices, since plugging hurts
      the performance there (it can be as much as 10-15% of the sys
      time).

      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.

      block: add request clone interface (v2) · b0fd271d
      Kiyoshi Ueda 提交于
      This patch adds the following 2 interfaces for request-stacking drivers:
      
        - blk_rq_prep_clone(struct request *clone, struct request *orig,
      		      struct bio_set *bs, gfp_t gfp_mask,
      		      int (*bio_ctr)(struct bio *, struct bio*, void *),
      		      void *data)
            * Clones bios in the original request to the clone request
              (bio_ctr is called for each cloned bios.)
            * Copies attributes of the original request to the clone request.
              The actual data parts (e.g. ->cmd, ->buffer, ->sense) are not
              copied.
      
        - blk_rq_unprep_clone(struct request *clone)
            * Frees cloned bios from the clone request.
      
      Request stacking drivers (e.g. request-based dm) need to make a clone
      request for a submitted request and dispatch it to other devices.
      
      To allocate request for the clone, request stacking drivers may not
      be able to use blk_get_request() because the allocation may be done
      in an irq-disabled context.
      So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a request allocated by the caller
      as an argument.
      
      For each clone bio in the clone request, request stacking drivers
      should be able to set up their own completion handler.
      So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a callback function which is called
      for each clone bio, and a pointer for private data which is passed
      to the callback.
      
      NOTE:
      blk_rq_prep_clone() doesn't copy any actual data of the original
      request.  Pages are shared between original bios and cloned bios.
      So caller must not complete the original request before the clone
      request.

      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.

      Block low level drivers for some reason have been pretty good at
      abusing block layer API.  Especially struct request's fields tend to
      get violated in all possible ways.  Make it clear that low level
      drivers MUST NOT access or manipulate rq->sector and rq->data_len
      directly by prefixing them with double underscores.
      
      This change is also necessary to break build of out-of-tree codes
      which assume the previous block API where internal fields can be
      manipulated and rq->data_len carries residual count on completion.

      block: drop request->hard_* and *nr_sectors · 2e46e8b2
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      struct request has had a few different ways to represent some
      properties of a request.  ->hard_* represent block layer's view of the
      request progress (completion cursor) and the ones without the prefix
      are supposed to represent the issue cursor and allowed to be updated
      as necessary by the low level drivers.  The thing is that as block
      layer supports partial completion, the two cursors really aren't
      necessary and only cause confusion.  In addition, manual management of
      request detail from low level drivers is cumbersome and error-prone at
      the very least.
      
      Another interesting duplicate fields are rq->[hard_]nr_sectors and
      rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors against rq->data_len and
      rq->bio->bi_size.  This is more convoluted than the hard_ case.
      
      rq->[hard_]nr_sectors are initialized for requests with bio but
      blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for !pc requests.  rq->data_len is
      initialized for all request but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for pc
      requests.  This causes good amount of confusion throughout block layer
      and its drivers and determining the request length has been a bit of
      black magic which may or may not work depending on circumstances and
      what the specific LLD is actually doing.
      
      rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors represent the number of sectors in
      the contiguous data area at the front.  This is mainly used by drivers
      which transfers data by walking request segment-by-segment.  This
      value always equals rq->bio->bi_size >> 9.  However, data length for
      pc requests may not be multiple of 512 bytes and using this field
      becomes a bit confusing.
      
      In general, having multiple fields to represent the same property
      leads only to confusion and subtle bugs.  With recent block low level
      driver cleanups, no driver is accessing or manipulating these
      duplicate fields directly.  Drop all the duplicates.  Now rq->sector
      means the current sector, rq->data_len the current total length and
      rq->bio->bi_size the current segment length.  Everything else is
      defined in terms of these three and available only through accessors.
      
      * blk_recalc_rq_sectors() is collapsed into blk_update_request() and
        now handles pc and fs requests equally other than rq->sector update.
        This means that now pc requests can use partial completion too (no
        in-kernel user yet tho).
      
      * bio_cur_sectors() is replaced with bio_cur_bytes() as block layer
        now uses byte count as the primary data length.
      
      * blk_rq_pos() is now guranteed to be always correct.  In-block users
        converted.
      
      * blk_rq_bytes() is now guaranteed to be always valid as is
        blk_rq_sectors().  In-block users converted.
      
      * blk_rq_sectors() is now guaranteed to equal blk_rq_bytes() >> 9.
        More convenient one is used.
      
      * blk_rq_bytes() and blk_rq_cur_bytes() are now inlined and take const
        pointer to request.

      block: add rq->resid_len · c3a4d78c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue
      and the residual count on completion.  This duality creates some
      headaches.
      
      First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine
      what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing.  It could be
      the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the
      lower layers is using to keep track of residual count.  This
      complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
      [__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
      Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
      total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
      request with the cached data length.
      
      Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
      ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred.  The residual count is
      an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
      rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
      alone means no data transfer occurred at all.  This reverse default
      behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
      drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.
      
      This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.
      
      While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
      ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.

      block: replace end_request() with [__]blk_end_request_cur() · f06d9a2b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      end_request() has been kept around for backward compatibility;
      however, it's about time for it to go away.
      
      * There aren't too many users left.
      
      * Its use of @updtodate is pretty confusing.
      
      * In some cases, newer code ends up using mixture of end_request() and
        [__]blk_end_request[_all](), which is way too confusing.
      
      So, add [__]blk_end_request_cur() and replace end_request() with it.
      Most conversions are straightforward.  Noteworthy ones are...
      
      * paride/pcd: next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
      
      * paride/pf: pf_end_request() and next_request() updated to take
        0/-errno instead of 1/0.
      
      * xd: xd_readwrite() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
      
      * mtd/mtd_blkdevs: blktrans_discard_request() updated to return
        0/-errno instead of 1/0.  Unnecessary local variable res
        initialization removed from mtd_blktrans_thread().

      block: implement and use [__]blk_end_request_all() · 40cbbb78
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with
      full request length and expect full completion.  Many of them ensure
      that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return
      value, which is awkward and error-prone.
      
      This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
      and fully completes the request.  BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
      this actually happens.
      
      Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.
      
      * cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
        __blk_end_request_all().
      
      * s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
        __blk_end_request_all().
      
      * s390/char/tape_block: tapeblock_end_request() replaced with direct
        calls to blk_end_request_all().

      block: clean up request completion API · 2e60e022
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Request completion has gone through several changes and became a bit
      messy over the time.  Clean it up.
      
      1. end_that_request_data() is a thin wrapper around
         end_that_request_data_first() which checks whether bio is NULL
         before doing anything and handles bidi completion.
         blk_update_request() is a thin wrapper around
         end_that_request_data() which clears nr_sectors on the last
         iteration but doesn't use the bidi completion.
      
         Clean it up by moving the initial bio NULL check and nr_sectors
         clearing on the last iteration into end_that_request_data() and
         renaming it to blk_update_request(), which makes blk_end_io() the
         only user of end_that_request_data().  Collapse
         end_that_request_data() into blk_end_io().
      
      2. There are four visible completion variants - blk_end_request(),
         __blk_end_request(), blk_end_bidi_request() and end_request().
         blk_end_request() and blk_end_bidi_request() uses blk_end_request()
         as the backend but __blk_end_request() and end_request() use
         separate implementation in __blk_end_request() due to different
         locking rules.
      
         blk_end_bidi_request() is identical to blk_end_io().  Collapse
         blk_end_io() into blk_end_bidi_request(), separate out request
         update into internal helper blk_update_bidi_request() and add
         __blk_end_bidi_request().  Redefine [__]blk_end_request() as thin
         inline wrappers around [__]blk_end_bidi_request().
      
      3. As the whole request issue/completion usages are about to be
         modified and audited, it's a good chance to convert completion
         functions return bool which better indicates the intended meaning
         of return values.
      
      4. The function name end_that_request_last() is from the days when it
         was a public interface and slighly confusing.  Give it a proper
         internal name - blk_finish_request().
      
      5. Add description explaning that blk_end_bidi_request() can be safely
         used for uni requests as suggested by Boaz Harrosh.
      
      The only visible behavior change is from #1.  nr_sectors counts are
      cleared after the final iteration no matter which function is used to
      complete the request.  I couldn't find any place where the code
      assumes those nr_sectors counters contain the values for the last
      segment and this change is good as it makes the API much more
      consistent as the end result is now same whether a request is
      completed using [__]blk_end_request() alone or in combination with
      blk_update_request().
      
      API further cleaned up per Christoph's suggestion.

      Reorder request completion functions such that
      
      * All request completion functions are located together.
      
      * Functions which are used by only one caller is put right above the
        caller.
      
      * end_request() is put after other completion functions but before
        blk_update_request().
      
      This change is for completion function cleanup which will follow.

      blk_start_queueing() is identical to __blk_run_queue() except that it
      doesn't check for recursion.  None of the current users depends on
      blk_start_queueing() running request_fn directly.  Replace usages of
