2016-12-01block: add support for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROESChaitanya Kulkarni1-0/+13
This adds a new block layer operation to zero out a range of LBAs. This allows to implement zeroing for devices that don't use either discard with a predictable zero pattern or WRITE SAME of zeroes. The prominent example of that is NVMe with the Write Zeroes command, but in the future, this should also help with improving the way zeroing discards work. For this operation, suitable entry is exported in sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one write zeroes operation by the device.

2016-11-28blk-wbt: allow reset of default latency through sysfsJens Axboe1-1/+3
Allow a write of '-1' to reset the default latency target for a given device. This removes knowledge of the different default settings for rotational vs non-rotational from user space. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2016-11-10block: hook up writeback throttlingJens Axboe1-0/+7
Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity. Background writeback should be, by definition, background activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads, which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback, unless someone is waiting for it. The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the windows where we get good behavior. Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window. When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's stable state of a zero scale count. The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and 75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting. We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will rely on CFQ doing that for us. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-11-01block: replace REQ_NOIDLE with REQ_IDLEChristoph Hellwig1-16/+16
Noidle should be the default for writes as seen by all the compounds definitions in fs.h using it. In fact only direct I/O really should be using NODILE, so turn the whole flag around to get the defaults right, which will make our life much easier especially onces the WRITE_* defines go away. This assumes all the existing "raw" users of REQ_SYNC for writes want noidle behavior, which seems to be spot on from a quick audit.

2016-10-28block: better op and flags encodingChristoph Hellwig1-2/+2
Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and request fields. This in addition allows us to place the operation first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to stop having to shift around the operation values. In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do that later) and thus clean up a lot of code. Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags field in struct request to 32-bits. Various functions passing this value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-10-28block: split out request-only flags into a new namespaceChristoph Hellwig1-1/+1
A lot of the REQ_* flags are only used on struct requests, and only of use to the block layer and a few drivers that dig into struct request internals. This patch adds a new req_flags_t rq_flags field to struct request for them, and thus dramatically shrinks the number of common requests. It also removes the unfortunate situation where we have to fit the fields from the same enum into 32 bits for struct bio and 64 bits for struct request.

2016-10-18block: Add 'zoned' queue limitDamien Le Moal1-0/+16
Add the zoned queue limit to indicate the zoning model of a block device. Defined values are 0 (BLK_ZONED_NONE) for regular block devices, 1 (BLK_ZONED_HA) for host-aware zone block devices and 2 (BLK_ZONED_HM) for host-managed zone block devices. The standards defined drive managed model is not defined here since these block devices do not provide any command for accessing zone information. Drive managed model devices will be reported as BLK_ZONED_NONE. The helper functions blk_queue_zoned_model and bdev_zoned_model return the zoned limit and the functions blk_queue_is_zoned and bdev_is_zoned return a boolean for callers to test if a block device is zoned. The zoned attribute is also exported as a string to applications via sysfs. BLK_ZONED_NONE shows as "none", BLK_ZONED_HA as "host-aware" and BLK_ZONED_HM as "host-managed".

2016-10-12Input: i8042 - skip selftest on ASUS laptopsMarcos Paulo de Souza1-1/+8
On suspend/resume cycle, selftest is executed to reset i8042 controller. But when this is done in Asus devices, subsequent calls to detect/init functions to elantech driver fails. Skipping selftest fixes this problem. An easier step to reproduce this problem is adding i8042.reset=1 as a kernel parameter. On Asus laptops, it'll make the system to start with the touchpad already stuck, since psmouse_probe forcibly calls the selftest function. This patch was inspired by John Hiesey's change[1], but, since this problem affects a lot of models of Asus, let's avoid running selftests on them.

2016-10-12kthread: kthread worker API cleanupPetr Mladek1-1/+1
A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name of the subsystem. The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues. Each worker has a dedicated kthread. It runs a generic function that process queued works. It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem. This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by kthread_: __init_kthread_worker() -> __kthread_init_worker() init_kthread_worker() -> kthread_init_worker() init_kthread_work() -> kthread_init_work() insert_kthread_work() -> kthread_insert_work() queue_kthread_work() -> kthread_queue_work() flush_kthread_work() -> kthread_flush_work() flush_kthread_worker() -> kthread_flush_worker() Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has precedence over the subsystem names. Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several reasons for this solution: + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize" aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer". + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros + init() functions are used close to the other kthread() functions. It looks much better if all the functions use the same scheme. + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related to the init() function. Again it looks better if all functions use the same naming scheme. + there are several precedents for such init() function names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(), jump_label_init_type(), regmap_init_mmio_clk(), + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

2016-10-12mm: kmemleak: avoid using __va() on addresses that don't have a lowmem mappingCatalin Marinas1-0/+9
Some of the kmemleak_*() callbacks in memblock, bootmem, CMA convert a physical address to a virtual one using __va(). However, such physical addresses may sometimes be located in highmem and using __va() is incorrect, leading to inconsistent object tracking in kmemleak. The following functions have been added to the kmemleak API and they take a physical address as the object pointer. They only perform the corresponding action if the address has a lowmem mapping: kmemleak_alloc_phys kmemleak_free_part_phys kmemleak_not_leak_phys kmemleak_ignore_phys The affected calling places have been updated to use the new kmemleak API.

2016-10-12lib/bitmap.c: enhance bitmap syntaxNoam Camus1-14/+36
Today there are platforms with many CPUs (up to 4K). Trying to boot only part of the CPUs may result in too long string. For example lets take NPS platform that is part of arch/arc. This platform have SMP system with 256 cores each with 16 HW threads (SMT machine) where HW thread appears as CPU to the kernel. In this example there is total of 4K CPUs. When one tries to boot only part of the HW threads from each core the string representing the map may be long... For example if for sake of performance we decided to boot only first half of HW threads of each core the map will look like: 0-7,16-23,32-39,...,4080-4087 This patch introduce new syntax to accommodate with such use case. I added an optional postfix to a range of CPUs which will choose according to given modulo the desired range of reminders i.e.: <cpus range>:sed_size/group_size For example, above map can be described in new syntax like this: 0-4095:8/16 Note that this patch is backward compatible with current syntax.
