2023-05-16brd: use XArray instead of radix-tree to index backing pagesPankaj Raghav1-69/+24
XArray was introduced to hold large array of pointers with a simple API. XArray API also provides array semantics which simplifies the way we store and access the backing pages, and the code becomes significantly easier to understand. No performance difference was noticed between the two implementation using fio with direct=1 [1].

2023-02-16brd: mark as nowait compatibleJens Axboe1-0/+1
By default, non-mq drivers do not support nowait. This causes io_uring to use a slower path as the driver cannot be trust not to block. brd can safely set the nowait flag, as worst case all it does is a NOIO allocation. For io_uring, this makes a substantial difference. Before: submitter=0, tid=453, file=/dev/ram0, node=-1 polled=0, fixedbufs=1/0, register_files=1, buffered=0, QD=128 Engine=io_uring, sq_ring=128, cq_ring=128 IOPS=440.03K, BW=1718MiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 IOPS=428.96K, BW=1675MiB/s, IOS/call=32/32 IOPS=442.59K, BW=1728MiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 IOPS=419.65K, BW=1639MiB/s, IOS/call=32/32 IOPS=426.82K, BW=1667MiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 and after: submitter=0, tid=354, file=/dev/ram0, node=-1 polled=0, fixedbufs=1/0, register_files=1, buffered=0, QD=128 Engine=io_uring, sq_ring=128, cq_ring=128 IOPS=3.37M, BW=13.15GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 IOPS=3.45M, BW=13.46GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 IOPS=3.43M, BW=13.42GiB/s, IOS/call=32/32 IOPS=3.43M, BW=13.39GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 IOPS=3.43M, BW=13.38GiB/s, IOS/call=32/31 or about an 8x in difference.

2023-02-16brd: check for REQ_NOWAIT and set correct page allocation maskJens Axboe1-20/+28
If REQ_NOWAIT is set, then do a non-blocking allocation if the operation is a write and we need to insert a new page. Currently REQ_NOWAIT cannot be set as the queue isn't marked as supporting nowait, this change is in preparation for allowing that. radix_tree_preload() warns on attempting to call it with an allocation mask that doesn't allow blocking. While that warning could arguably be removed, we need to handle radix insertion failures anyway as they are more likely if we cannot block to get memory. Remove legacy BUG_ON()'s and turn them into proper errors instead, one for the allocation failure and one for finding a page that doesn't match the correct index.

2023-02-03block: remove ->rw_pageChristoph Hellwig1-14/+1
The ->rw_page method is a special purpose bypass of the usual bio handling path that is limited to single-page reads and writes and synchronous which causes a lot of extra code in the drivers, callers and the block layer. The only remaining user is the MM swap code. Switch that swap code to simply submit a single-vec on-stack bio an synchronously wait on it based on a newly added QUEUE_FLAG_SYNCHRONOUS flag set by the drivers that currently implement ->rw_page instead. While this touches one extra cache line and executes extra code, it simplifies the block layer and drivers and ensures that all feastures are properly supported by all drivers, e.g. right now ->rw_page bypassed cgroup writeback entirely.

Polling for the bio itself leads to a few advantages: - the cookie construction can made entirely private in blk-mq.c - the caller does not need to remember the request_queue and cookie separately and thus sidesteps their lifetime issues - keeping the device and the cookie inside the bio allows to trivially support polling BIOs remapping by stacking drivers - a lot of code to propagate the cookie back up the submission path can be removed entirely.

2021-04-21brd: expose number of allocated pages in debugfsCalvin Owens1-1/+18
While the maximum size of each ramdisk is defined either as a module parameter, or compile time default, it's impossible to know how many pages have currently been allocated by each ram%d device, since they're allocated when used and never freed. This patch creates a new directory at this location: /sys/kernel/debug/ramdisk_pages/ which will contain a file named "ram%d" for each instantiated ramdisk on the system. The file is read-only, and read() will output the number of pages currently held by that ramdisk. We lose track how much memory a ramdisk is using as pages once used are simply recycled but never freed. In instances where we exhaust the size of the ramdisk with a file that exceeds it, encounter ENOSPC and delete the file for mitigation; df would show decrease in used and increase in available blocks but the since we have touched all pages, the memory footprint of the ramdisk does not reflect the blocks used/available count ...

The only complication is that zram needs a second set of block_device_operations as it can switch between modes that actually support ->rw_page and those who don't.

2020-07-01block: move ->make_request_fn to struct block_device_operationsChristoph Hellwig1-2/+3
The make_request_fn is a little weird in that it sits directly in struct request_queue instead of an operation vector. Replace it with a block_device_operations method called submit_bio (which describes much better what it does). Also remove the request_queue argument to it, as the queue can be derived pretty trivially from the bio. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2020-03-27block: simplify queue allocationChristoph Hellwig1-3/+1
Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request helper. Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask parameter. A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

Unfortunately, we want to track discards separately and @is_write isn't enough information.

It happens often while I'm preparing a patch for a block driver that I'm wondering: is a definition of SECTOR_SIZE and/or SECTOR_SHIFT available for this driver? Do I have to introduce definitions of these constants before I can use these constants? To avoid this confusion, move the existing definitions of SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT into the <linux/blkdev.h> header file such that these become available for all block drivers. Make the SECTOR_SIZE definition in the uapi msdos_fs.h header file conditional to avoid that including that header file after <linux/blkdev.h> causes the compiler to complain about a SECTOR_SIZE redefinition. Note: the SECTOR_SIZE / SECTOR_SHIFT / SECTOR_BITS definitions have not been removed from uapi header files nor from NAND drivers in which these constants are used for another purpose than converting block layer offsets and sizes into a number of sectors.

The ext4 touches came from Jan, and the xfs touches have Darrick's reviewed-by. An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged. - Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable 'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk") before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler. Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag is validated as supported by the filesystem's ->mmap() file operation. - Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods. This enables interoperability with environments that only implement the standardized methods. - Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods. - Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for latch last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection, and SMART alarm threshold control. - Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only. - Fix revalidation of the DIMM "locked label area" status to support dynamic unlock of the label area. - Expand unit test infrastructure to mock the ACPI 6.2 Translate SPA (system-physical-address) command and error injection commands.

2017-11-15brd: remove dax supportDan Williams1-65/+0
DAX support in brd is awkward because its backing page frames are distinct from the ones provided by pmem, dcssblk, or axonram. We need pfn_t_devmap() entries to fully support DAX, and the limited DAX support for pfn_t_special() page frames is not interesting for brd when pmem is already a superset of brd. Lastly, brd is the only dax capable driver that may sleep in its ->direct_access() implementation. So it causes a global burden with no net gain of kernel functionality. For all these reasons, remove DAX support.

2017-08-23block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions indexChristoph Hellwig1-3/+2
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.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "libnvdimm updates for the latest ACPI and UEFI specifications. This pull request also includes new 'struct dax_operations' enabling to undo the abuse of copy_user_nocache() for copy operations to pmem. The dax work originally missed 4.12 to address concerns raised by Al. Summary: - Introduce the _flushcache() family of memory copy helpers and use them for persistent memory write operations on x86. The _flushcache() semantic indicates that the cache is either bypassed for the copy operation (movnt) or any lines dirtied by the copy operation are written back (clwb, clflushopt, or clflush). - Extend dax_operations with ->copy_from_iter() and ->flush() operations. These operations and other infrastructure updates allow all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example: /sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache - Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2 namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT (block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS and pre-OS compatibility. - Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test. - Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2) capable. - Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit driver.
