block: pass in queue to inflight accounting

2017-08-09T19:09:16+00:00

No functional change in this patch, just in preparation for basing the inflight mechanism on the queue in question. Reviewed-by: Bart Van Assche Reviewed-by: Omar Sandoval Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: don't bother with bounce limits for make_request drivers

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

We only call blk_queue_bounce for request-based drivers, so stop messing with it for make_request based drivers. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blk: remove bio_set arg from blk_queue_split()

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

blk_queue_split() is always called with the last arg being q->bio_split, where 'q' is the first arg. Also blk_queue_split() sometimes uses the passed-in 'bs' and sometimes uses q->bio_split. This is inconsistent and unnecessary. Remove the last arg and always use q->bio_split inside blk_queue_split() Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Ming Lei Credit-to: Javier González (Noticed that lightnvm was missed) Reviewed-by: Javier González Tested-by: Javier González Signed-off-by: NeilBrown 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

rsxx: remove the discard_zeroes_data flag

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

rsxx only supports discarding on large alignments, so the zeroing code would always fall back to explicit writings of zeroes. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: convert to device_add_disk()

2016-06-27T19:26:08+00:00

For block drivers that specify a parent device, convert them to use device_add_disk(). This conversion was done with the following semantic patch: @@ struct gendisk *disk; expression E; @@ - disk->driverfs_dev = E; ... - add_disk(disk); + device_add_disk(E, disk); @@ struct gendisk *disk; expression E1, E2; @@ - disk->driverfs_dev = E1; ... E2 = disk; ... - add_disk(E2); + device_add_disk(E1, E2); ...plus some manual fixups for a few missed conversions. Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Keith Busch Cc: Michael S.

block: change ->make_request_fn() and users to return a queue cookie

No functional changes in this patch, but it prepares us for returning a more useful cookie related to the IO that was queued up. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Keith Busch

block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios

2015-08-13T18:31:33+00:00

The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page()) checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create bios that don't need to be split. But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the (potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code. We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing affecting segment merging. Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are: * nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c) * axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c) * simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c) * brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c) * mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c) * loop_make_request * null_queue_bio * bcache's make_request fns Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left for future patches.

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio

2015-07-29T14:55:15+00:00

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.
