      Add a tracepoint for block request remapping · b0da3f0d
      Jun'ichi Nomura 提交于
      Since 2.6.31 now has request-based device-mapper, it's useful to have
      a tracepoint for request-remapping as well as bio-remapping.
      This patch adds a tracepoint for request-remapping, trace_block_rq_remap().

      block: allow large discard requests · 67efc925
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Currently we set the bio size to the byte equivalent of the blocks to
      be trimmed when submitting the initial DISCARD ioctl.  That means it
      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
      that information through the block layer.

      block: use normal I/O path for discard requests · c15227de
      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.
      
      Largely based on a previous patch from Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>
      which did the prepare_discard_fn but not the different payload allocation
      yet.

      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

      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

      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.

      tracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT() · 55782138
      Li Zefan 提交于
      TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
      these new capabilities to this tracepoint:
      
        - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
        - binary tracing without printf overhead
        - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
        - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
        - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
        ...
      
      Cons:
      
        - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
          no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
          no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.
      
          This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
          But this may change in the future.
      
        - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
          While blktrace do the convertion just before output.
      
          Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.
      
        - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
          has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.
      
          The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().
      
      I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:
      
            dd                   dd + ioctl blktrace       dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
      1     7.36s, 42.7 MB/s     7.50s, 42.0 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
      2     7.43s, 42.3 MB/s     7.48s, 42.1 MB/s          7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
      3     7.38s, 42.6 MB/s     7.45s, 42.2 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
      
      So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
      those trace events vs blktrace.
      
      And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:
      
       # ls -l -h
       -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
       -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1
       -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out

      Added a BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(req)) to the top of blk_finish_req().
      Unfortunately, this checks whether req->queuelist is empty.  This list
      is doing double duty both as the queue list and the tag list, so tagged
      requests come in here with this not empty and boom (the tag list is
      emptied by blk_queue_end_tag() lower down).
      
      Fix this by moving the BUG_ON to below the end tag we also seem
      vulnerable to this in blk_requeue_request() as well.  I think all uses
      of blk_queued_rq() need auditing because the check is clearly wrong in
      the tagged case.

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      In commit c3a4d78c, while introducing
      rq->resid_len, the default value of residue count was changed from
      full count to zero.  The conversion was done under the assumption that
      when a request fails residue count wasn't defined.  However, Boaz and
      James pointed out that this wasn't true and the residue count should
      be preserved for failed requests too.
      
      This patchset restores the original behavior by setting rq->resid_len
      to blk_rq_bytes(rq) on request start and restoring explicit clearing
      in affected drivers.  While at it, take advantage of the fact that
      rq->resid_len is set to full count where applicable.

      block: fix the bio_vec array index out-of-bounds test · af498d7f
      Kazuhisa Ichikawa 提交于
      Current bio_vec array index out-of-bounds test within
      __end_that_request_first() does not seem correct.
      It checks bio->bi_idx against bio->bi_vcnt, but the subsequent code
      uses idx (which is, bio->bi_idx + next_idx) as the array index into
      bio_vec array. This means that the test really make sense only at
      the first iteration of !(nr_bytes >=bio->bi_size) case (when next_idx
      == zero). Fix this by replacing bio->bi_idx with idx.
      (This patch applies to 2.6.30-rc4.)

      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: hide request sector and data_len · a2dec7b3
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.
