block: move cache control settings out of queue->flags

2024-06-19T13:58:28+00:00

Move the cache control settings into the queue_limits so that the flags can be set atomically with the device queue frozen. Add new features and flags field for the driver set flags, and internal (usually sysfs-controlled) flags in the block layer. Note that we'll eventually remove enough field from queue_limits to bring it back to the previous size. The disable flag is inverted compared to the previous meaning, which means it now survives a rescan, similar to the max_sectors and max_discard_sectors user limits. The FLUSH and FUA flags are now inherited by blk_stack_limits, which simplified the code in dm a lot, but also causes a slight behavior change in that dm-switch and dm-unstripe now advertise a write cache despite setting num_flush_bios to 0. The I/O path will handle this gracefully, but as far as I can tell the lack of num_flush_bios and thus flush support is a pre-existing data integrity bug in those targets that really needs fixing, after which a non-zero num_flush_bios should be required in dm for targets that map to underlying devices.

block: move integrity information into queue_limits

2024-06-14T16:20:07+00:00

Move the integrity information into the queue limits so that it can be set atomically with other queue limits, and that the sysfs changes to the read_verify and write_generate flags are properly synchronized. This also allows to provide a more useful helper to stack the integrity fields, although it still is separate from the main stacking function as not all stackable devices want to inherit the integrity settings. Even with that it greatly simplifies the code in md and dm. Note that the integrity field is moved as-is into the queue limits. While there are good arguments for removing the separate blk_integrity structure, this would cause a lot of churn and might better be done at a later time if desired. However the integrity field in the queue_limits structure is now unconditional so that various ifdefs can be avoided or replaced with IS_ENABLED(). Given that tiny size of it that seems like a worthwhile trade off. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Reviewed-by: Martin K.

Documentation: block: ioprio: Update schedulers

2024-01-18T15:21:14+00:00

This doc hasn't been touched in a while, in the meantime some new io schedulers were added (e.g. all of mq), some with ioprio support. Also reword the introduction to remove reference to CFQ and the limitation that io priorities only work on reads, which is no longer true.
