aoe: use ktime_t instead of timeval

2018-01-17T15:41:07+00:00

'struct frame' uses two variables to store the sent timestamp - 'struct timeval' and jiffies. jiffies is used to avoid discrepancies caused by updates to system time. 'struct timeval' is deprecated because it uses 32-bit representation for seconds which will overflow in year 2038. This patch does the following: - Replace the use of 'struct timeval' and jiffies with ktime_t, which is the recommended type for timestamping - ktime_t provides both long range (like jiffies) and high resolution (like timeval). Using ktime_get (monotonic time) instead of wall-clock time prevents any discprepancies caused by updates to system time. [updates by Arnd below] The original patch from Tina never went anywhere as we discussed how to keep the impact on performance minimal. I've started over now but arrived at basically the same patch that she had originally, except for an slightly improved tsince_hr() function. I'm making it more robust against overflows, and also optimize explicitly for the common case in which a frame is less than 4.2 seconds old, using only a 32-bit division in that case. This should make the new version more efficient than the old code, since we replace the existing two 32-bit division in do_gettimeofday() plus one multiplication with a single single 32-bit division in tsince_hr() and drop the double bookkeeping. It's also more efficient than the ktime_get_us() API we discussed before, since that would also rely on multiple divisions.

treewide: Remove TIMER_FUNC_TYPE and TIMER_DATA_TYPE casts

2017-11-22T00:35:54+00:00

With all callbacks converted, and the timer callback prototype switched over, the TIMER_FUNC_TYPE cast is no longer needed, so remove it. Conversion was done with the following scripts: perl -pi -e 's|$TIMER_FUNC_TYPE$||g' \ $(git grep TIMER_FUNC_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u) perl -pi -e 's|$TIMER_DATA_TYPE$||g' \ $(git grep TIMER_DATA_TYPE | cut -d: -f1 | sort -u) The now unused macros are also dropped from include/linux/timer.h.

block/aoe: Convert timers to use timer_setup()

2017-11-15T03:11:57+00:00

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer() to pass the timer pointer explicitly.

block/aoe: discover_timer: Convert timers to use timer_setup()

2017-11-06T20:50:09+00:00

In preparation for unconditionally passing the struct timer_list pointer to all timer callbacks, switch to using the new timer_setup() and from_timer() to pass the timer pointer explicitly. This refactors the discover_timer to remove the needless locking and state machine used for synchronizing timer death. Using del_timer_sync() will already do the right thing.

block: don't set bounce limit in blk_init_queue

2017-06-27T18:13:45+00:00

Instead move it to the callers. Those that either don't use bio_data() or page_address() or are specific to architectures that do not support highmem are skipped. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: switch bios to blk_status_t

2017-06-09T15:27:32+00:00

Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion. Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a proper blk_status_t value. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: introduce new block status code type

2017-06-09T15:27:32+00:00

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later. For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging fruite to improve it. blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

block: Use pointer to backing_dev_info from request_queue

2017-02-02T15:20:48+00:00

We will want to have struct backing_dev_info allocated separately from struct request_queue. As the first step add pointer to backing_dev_info to request_queue and convert all users touching it.

aoe: fix crash in page count manipulation

2016-11-12T15:27:07+00:00

aoeblk contains some mysterious code, that wants to elevate the bio vec page counts while it's under IO. That is not needed, it's fragile, and it's causing kernel oopses for some. Reported-by: Tested-by: Don Koch Tested-by: Tested-by: Don Koch Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

tree wide: get rid of __GFP_REPEAT for order-0 allocations part I

2016-06-25T00:23:52+00:00

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window hopefully. Motivation: While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of __GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another. I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is documented as * __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt * _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation. while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop for ever. This is not implemented right now though. I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic for it. $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l 111 $ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l 36 So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later after all the simple ones are sorted out. I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from arch maintainers. [1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org This patch (of 19): __GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0 allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail). Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.
