block: fold cmd_type into the REQ_OP_ space

2017-01-31T21:00:44+00:00

Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it all into the operations. The little caveat here is that previously cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough operations. Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

lightnvm: use end_io callback instead of instance

2017-01-31T15:32:13+00:00

When the lightnvm core had the "gennvm" layer between the device and the target, there was a need for the core to be able to figure out which target it should send an end_io callback to. Leading to a "double" end_io, first for the media manager instance, and then for the target instance. Now that core and gennvm is merged, there is no longer a need for this, and a single end_io callback will do. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

lightnvm: reduce number of nvm_id groups to one

2017-01-31T15:32:13+00:00

The number of configuration groups has been limited to one in current code, even if there is support for up to four. With the introduction of the open-channel SSD 1.3 specification, only a single group is exposed onwards. Reflect this in the nvm_id structure.

ktime: Cleanup ktime_set() usage

2016-12-25T16:21:22+00:00

ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value needs to be converted. For anything where the Seconds argument is 0, this is pointless and can be replaced with a simple assignment. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: Peter Zijlstra

null_blk: add usage hints for NVM

2016-11-16T15:26:11+00:00

If CONFIG_NVM is disabled, loading null_block module with use_lightnvm=1 fails. But there are no messages and documents related to the failure. Add the appropriate error message. Signed-off-by: Yasuaki Ishimatsu Massaged the text a bit. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Merge branch 'for-4.9/block-irq' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2016-10-10T00:29:33+00:00

Pull blk-mq irq/cpu mapping updates from Jens Axboe: "This is the block-irq topic branch for 4.9-rc. It's mostly from Christoph, and it allows drivers to specify their own mappings, and more importantly, to share the blk-mq mappings with the IRQ affinity mappings. It's a good step towards making this work better out of the box" * 'for-4.9/block-irq' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: blk_mq: linux/blk-mq.h does not include all the headers it depends on blk-mq: kill unused blk_mq_create_mq_map() blk-mq: get rid of the cpumask in struct blk_mq_tags nvme: remove the post_scan callout nvme: switch to use pci_alloc_irq_vectors blk-mq: provide a default queue mapping for PCI device blk-mq: allow the driver to pass in a queue mapping blk-mq: remove ->map_queue blk-mq: only allocate a single mq_map per tag_set blk-mq: don't redistribute hardware queues on a CPU hotplug event

lightnvm: control life of nvm_dev in driver

2016-09-21T13:56:18+00:00

LightNVM compatible device drivers does not have a method to expose LightNVM specific sysfs entries. To enable LightNVM sysfs entries to be exposed, lightnvm device drivers require a struct device to attach it to. To allow both the actual device driver and lightnvm sysfs entries to coexist, the device driver tracks the lifetime of the nvm_dev structure. This patch refactors NVMe and null_blk to handle the lifetime of struct nvm_dev, which eliminates the need for struct gendisk when a lightnvm compatible device is provided.

null_blk: refactor to support non-gendisk devices

2016-09-21T13:56:14+00:00

With LightNVM enabled devices, the gendisk structure is not exposed to the user. This hides the device driver specific sysfs entries, and prevents binding of LightNVM geometry information to the device. Refactor the device registration process, so that gendisk and non-gendisk devices are easily managed. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blk-mq: remove ->map_queue

2016-09-15T14:42:03+00:00

All drivers use the default, so provide an inline version of it. If we ever need other queue mapping we can add an optional method back, although supporting will also require major changes to the queue setup code. This provides better code generation, and better debugability as well. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Keith Busch Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
