drbd: Convert timers to use timer_setup()

2017-11-06T20:49:57+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. Cc: Philipp Reisner Cc: Lars Ellenberg Cc: drbd-dev@lists.linbit.com Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

drbd: move global variables to drbd namespace and make some static

2017-08-29T21:34:46+00:00

This is a follow-up to Gregs complaints that drbd clutteres the global namespace. Some of DRBD's module parameters are only used within one compilation unit. Make these static. Signed-off-by: Roland Kammerer Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

drbd: rename "usermode_helper" to "drbd_usermode_helper"

2017-08-29T21:34:46+00:00

Nothing like having a very generic global variable in a tiny driver subsystem to make a mess of the global namespace... Note, there are many other "generic" named global variables in the drbd subsystem, someone should fix those up one day before they hit a linking error.

drbd: introduce drbd_recv_header_maybe_unplug

2017-08-29T21:34:43+00:00

Recently, drbd_recv_header() was changed to potentially implicitly "unplug" the backend device(s), in case there is currently nothing to receive. Be more explicit about it: re-introduce the original drbd_recv_header(), and introduce a new drbd_recv_header_maybe_unplug() for use by the receiver "main loop". Using explicit plugging via blk_start_plug(); blk_finish_plug(); really helps the io-scheduler of the backend with merging requests. Wrap the receiver "main loop" with such a plug. Also catch unplug events on the Primary, and try to propagate. This is performance relevant. Without this, if the receiving side does not merge requests, number of IOPS on the peer can me significantly higher than IOPS on the Primary, and can easily become the bottleneck. Together, both changes should help to reduce the number of IOPS as seen on the backend of the receiving side, by increasing the chance of merging mergable requests, without trading latency for more throughput.

block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index

2017-08-23T18:49:55+00:00

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

drbd: use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone()

2017-06-18T18:40:59+00:00

drbd does not modify the bi_io_vec of the cloned bio, so there is no need to clone that part. So bio_clone_fast() is the better choice. For bio_clone_fast() we need to specify a bio_set. We could use fs_bio_set, which bio_clone() uses, or drbd_md_io_bio_set, which drbd uses for metadata, but it is generally best to avoid sharing bio_sets unless you can be certain that there are no interdependencies. So create a new bio_set, drbd_io_bio_set, and use bio_clone_fast(). Also remove a "XXX cannot fail ???" comment because it definitely cannot fail - bio_clone_fast() doesn't fail if the GFP flags allow for sleeping.

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

drbd: make intelligent use of blkdev_issue_zeroout

2017-04-08T17:25:38+00:00

drbd always wants its discard wire operations to zero the blocks, so use blkdev_issue_zeroout with the BLKDEV_ZERO_UNMAP flag instead of reinventing it poorly. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:29+00:00

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

dynamic_debug: only add header when used

2016-08-02T23:35:03+00:00

kernel.h header doesn't directly use dynamic debug, instead we can include it in module.c (which used it via kernel.h). printk.h only uses it if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is on, changing the inclusion to only happen in that case.
