block: have drivers use blk_queue_max_discard_sectors()

2015-07-17T14:41:53+00:00

Some drivers use it now, others just set the limits field manually. But in preparation for splitting this into a hard and soft limit, ensure that they all call the proper function for setting the hw limit for discards. Reviewed-by: Jeff Moyer Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devices

2014-10-04T16:55:32+00:00

Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT. Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy contributions. But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"): - On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they should contribute to the random pool in the first place. - Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead. There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block devices. From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random" sources. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

PCI: Remove DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE macro use

2014-08-12T18:15:14+00:00

We should prefer `struct pci_device_id` over `DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE` to meet kernel coding style guidelines. This issue was reported by checkpatch. A simplified version of the semantic patch that makes this change is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): // @@ identifier i; declarer name DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE; initializer z; @@ - DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE(i) + const struct pci_device_id i[] = z; // [bhelgaas: add semantic patch] Signed-off-by: Benoit Taine Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas

block: use pci_zalloc_consistent

2014-08-08T22:57:28+00:00

Remove the now unnecessary memset too. Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Mike Miller Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Merge branch 'for-3.16/core' into for-3.16/drivers

2014-05-28T15:50:26+00:00

mtip32xx uses blk_mq_alloc_reserved_request(), so pull in the core changes so we have a properly merged end result. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

skd: Use pci_enable_msix_exact() instead of pci_enable_msix_range()

2014-04-22T01:02:05+00:00

Function pci_enable_msix_exact() is a variation of pci_enable_msix_range() that allows a device driver to request a particular number of MSI-X interrupts, rather than any number within a specified range.

sd/skd: stuff discard page in request->completion_data

2014-04-17T03:37:30+00:00

Store the pointer to the page there, so we can always safely reference it from end_io context where ->bio may have been cleared. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: remove struct request buffer member

2014-04-15T20:03:02+00:00

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago, most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't pointing at anything valid. Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data(). For the discard payload use case, just reference the page in the bio. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

skd: Use pci_enable_msix_range() instead of pci_enable_msix()

2014-02-21T23:45:26+00:00

As result of deprecation of MSI-X/MSI enablement functions pci_enable_msix() and pci_enable_msi_block() all drivers using these two interfaces need to be updated to use the new pci_enable_msi_range() and pci_enable_msix_range() interfaces.
