2008-04-29NBD: add partition supportLaurent Vivier1-4/+21
Permit the use of partitions with network block devices (NBD). A new parameter is introduced to define how many partition we want to be able to manage per network block device. This parameter is "max_part". For instance, to manage 63 partitions / loop device, we will do: [on the server side] # nbd-server 1234 /dev/sdb [on the client side] # modprobe nbd max_part=63 # ls -l /dev/nbd* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 0 2008-03-25 11:14 /dev/nbd0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 64 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 640 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd10 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 704 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd11 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 768 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd12 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 832 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd13 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 896 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd14 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 960 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd15 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 128 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 192 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 256 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 320 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 384 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 448 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd7 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 512 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd8 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 576 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd9 # nbd-client localhost 1234 /dev/nbd0 Negotiation: ..size = 80418240KB bs=1024, sz=80418240 -------NOTE, RFC: partition table is not automatically read. The driver sets bdev->bd_invalidated to 1 to force the read of the partition table of the device, but this is done only on an open of the device. So we have to do a "touch /dev/nbdX" or something like that. It can't be done from the nbd-client or nbd driver because at this level we can't ask to read the partition table and to serve the request at the same time (-> deadlock) If someone has a better idea, I'm open to any suggestion. -------NOTE, RFC # fdisk -l /dev/nbd0 Disk /dev/nbd0: 82.3 GB, 82348277760 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 10011 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/nbd0p1 * 1 9965 80043831 83 Linux /dev/nbd0p2 9966 10011 369495 5 Extended /dev/nbd0p5 9966 10011 369463+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris # ls -l /dev/nbd0* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 0 2008-03-25 11:16 /dev/nbd0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 1 2008-03-25 11:16 /dev/nbd0p1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 2 2008-03-25 11:16 /dev/nbd0p2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 5 2008-03-25 11:16 /dev/nbd0p5 # mount /dev/nbd0p1 /mnt # ls /mnt bin dev initrd lost+found opt sbin sys var boot etc initrd.img media proc selinux tmp vmlinuz cdrom home lib mnt root srv usr # umount /mnt # nbd-client -d /dev/nbd0 # ls -l /dev/nbd0* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 0 2008-03-25 11:16 /dev/nbd0 -------NOTE On "nbd-client -d", we can do an iocl(BLKRRPART) to update partition table: as the size of the device is 0, we don't have to serve the partition manager request (-> no deadlock). -------NOTE Signed-off-by: Paul Clements <paul.clements@steeleye.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-04-29NBD: allow nbd to be used locallyLaurent Vivier1-49/+95
This patch allows Network Block Device to be mounted locally (nbd-client to nbd-server over 127.0.0.1). It creates a kthread to avoid the deadlock described in NBD tools documentation. So, if nbd-client hangs waiting for pages, the kblockd thread can continue its work and free pages. I have tested the patch to verify that it avoids the hang that always occurs when writing to a localhost nbd connection. I have also tested to verify that no performance degradation results from the additional thread and queue. Patch originally from Laurent Vivier.

2008-04-29ps3disk: Remove superfluous castGeert Uytterhoeven1-2/+1
As ps3disk is a ppc64-only driver, sector_t equals to unsigned long, and the cast is not needed. Reuse in another (possibly 32-bit) driver is protected by the safety net called `compiler warning' (with the cast, it may silently truncate to 32-bit). If sector_t ever changes, we will get a compiler warning as well (with the cast, we won't).

2008-04-28return pfn from direct_access, for XIPJared Hulbert1-2/+3
Alter the block device ->direct_access() API to work with the new get_xip_mem() API (that requires both kaddr and pfn are returned). Some architectures will not do the right thing in their virt_to_page() for use by XIP (to translate from the kernel virtual address returned by direct_access(), to a user mappable pfn in XIP's page fault handler. However, we can't switch it to just return the pfn and not the kaddr, because we have no good way to get a kva from a pfn, and XIP requires the kva for its read(2) and write(2) handlers. So we have to return both.

2008-04-25xen blkfront: Delay wait for block devices until after the disk is addedChristian Limpach1-0/+11
When the xen block frontend driver is built as a module the module load is only synchronous up to the point where the frontend and the backend become connected rather than when the disk is added. This means that there can be a race on boot between loading the module and loading the dm-* modules and doing the scan for LVM physical volumes (all in the initrd). In the failure case the disk is not present until after the scan for physical volumes is complete.

2008-04-25xen: Make xen-blkfront write its protocol ABI to xenstoreMarkus Armbruster1-0/+7
Frontends are expected to write their protocol ABI to xenstore. Since the protocol ABI defaults to the backend's native ABI, things work fine without that as long as the frontend's native ABI is identical to the backend's native ABI. This is not the case for xen-blkfront running 32-on-64, because its ABI differs between 32 and 64 bit, and thus needs this fix. Based on http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?rev/c545932a18f3 and http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?rev/ffe52263b430 by Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <Jeremy.Fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2008-04-09ub: remove BUG() after __blk_end_request and fix the condition causing itPete Zaitcev1-9/+29
When __blk_end_request returns nonzero, it means that the request was not completely processed and some BIOs are still attached. Since we have dequeued it by that time, it means leaking requests and hanging processes, which is why BUG() was in there. In ub this happens if a packet request ends normally, but with residue (e.g. when scsi_id issues INQUIRY). The fix is to make sure that arguments passed to __blk_end_request are correct: the full request length and not just transferred length. The transferred length is indicated to applications by adjusting rq->data_len with old, unchanged code outside of this patch.

2008-04-03nbd: prevent sock_xmit from attempting to use a NULL socketMike Snitzer1-0/+6
NBD does not protect the nbd_device's socket from becoming NULL during receives. This closes a race with the NBD_CLEAR_SOCK ioctl (nbd-client -d) setting the nbd_device's socket to NULL right before NBD calls sock_xmit.

no longer working for some time. A driver that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seems to be unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future. But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still present in the older kernel releases.

2008-03-13[POWERPC] Fix viodasd driver with scatterlist debugBenjamin Herrenschmidt1-2/+1
The iSeries viodasd drivers does some very strange things with scatterlists, one of these causing a BUG_ON to trigger when scatterlist debugging is enabled due to initializing the scatterlist with memset instead of sg_init_table(). This fixes it by using sg_init_table(). The rest of the stuff it does to that poor list is still pretty awful but it will work. I may look into fixing things in a nicer way some other time.

2008-03-04cciss: remove READ_AHEAD define and use block layer defaultsMike Miller1-3/+0
This patch removes the #define READ_AHEAD 1024 from the driver and uses the block layer defaults, instead. We have found that under certain workloads the setting can cause a disk connected to the e200 controller to go offline. If the disk hiccups the link may try to downshift but the controller is never notified that the link successfully completed the renegotiation. We've also found that performance using the block layer default of 32 pages was on par with the 1024 setting. We tried setting it to zero at one time based on info from our firmware guys but that killed performance. Turns out we were talking about 2 different read ahead settings.

2008-02-24NBD: make nbd default to deadline I/O schedulerPaul Clements1-0/+6
NBD doesn't work well with CFQ (or AS) schedulers, so let's default to something else. The two problems I have experienced with nbd and cfq are: 1) nbd hangs with cfq on RHEL 5 (2.6.18) -- this may well have been fixed There's a similar debian bug that has been filed as well: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447638 There have been posts to nbd-general mailing list about problems with cfq and nbd also. 2) nbd performs about 10% better (the last time I tested) with deadline vs. cfq (the overhead of cfq doesn't provide much advantage to nbd [not being a real disk], and you end up going through the I/O scheduler on the nbd server anyway, so it makes sense that deadline is better with nbd) Signed-off-by: Paul Clements <paul.clements@steeleye.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
