2016-03-13block: don't optimize for non-cloned bio in bio_get_last_bvec()Ming Lei1-5/+0
For !BIO_CLONED bio, we can use .bi_vcnt safely, but it doesn't mean we can just simply return .bi_io_vec[.bi_vcnt - 1] because the start postion may have been moved in the middle of the bvec, such as splitting in the middle of bvec.

2016-03-04block: bio: introduce helpers to get the 1st and last bvecMing Lei1-0/+37
The bio passed to bio_will_gap() may be fast cloned from upper layer(dm, md, bcache, fs, ...), or from bio splitting in block core. Unfortunately bio_will_gap() just figures out the last bvec via 'bi_io_vec[prev->bi_vcnt - 1]' directly, and this way is obviously wrong. This patch introduces two helpers for getting the first and last bvec of one bio for fixing the issue.

2015-12-03blk-integrity: empty implementation when disabledKeith Busch1-10/+22
This patch moves the blk_integrity_payload definition outside the CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTERITY dependency and provides empty function implementations when the kernel configuration disables integrity extensions. This simplifies drivers that make use of these to map user data so they don't need to repeat the same configuration checks. Signed-off-by: Keith Busch <keith.busch@intel.com> Updated by Jens to pass an error pointer return from bio_integrity_alloc(), otherwise if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY isn't set, we return a weird ENOMEM from __nvme_submit_user_cmd() if a meta buffer is set.

2015-08-20block: Replace SG_GAPS with new queue limits maskKeith Busch1-9/+0
The SG_GAPS queue flag caused checks for bio vector alignment against PAGE_SIZE, but the device may have different constraints. This patch adds a queue limits so a driver with such constraints can set to allow requests that would have been unnecessarily split. The new gaps check takes the request_queue as a parameter to simplify the logic around invoking this function. This new limit makes the queue flag redundant, so removing it and all usage. Device-mappers will inherit the correct settings through blk_stack_limits(). Signed-off-by: Keith Busch <keith.busch@intel.com> Reviewed-by: Martin K.

2015-07-29block: shrink struct bio down to 2 cache lines againJens Axboe1-3/+3
Commit bcf2843b3f8f added ->bi_error to cleanup the error passing for struct bio, but that ended up adding 4 bytes and a 4 byte hole to the size of struct bio. For a clean config, that bumped it from 128 bytes, to 136 bytes, on x86-64. The ->bi_flags member is currently an unsigned long, but it fits easily within an int. Change it to an unsigned int, adjust the the pool offset code, and move ->bi_error into the new hole. Then we end up with a 128 byte bio again. Change the bio flag set/clear to use cmpxchg to ensure we don't lose any flags when manipulating them. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-07-29block: manipulate bio->bi_flags through helpersJens Axboe1-0/+15
Some places use helpers now, others don't. We only have the 'is set' helper, add helpers for setting and clearing flags too. It was a bit of a mess of atomic vs non-atomic access. With BIO_UPTODATE gone, we don't have any risk of concurrent access to the flags. So relax the restriction and don't make any of them atomic. The flags that do have serialization issues (reffed and chained), we already handle those separately. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-07-29block: add a bi_error field to struct bioChristoph Hellwig1-4/+9
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.

Currently, a bio can only be associated with the io_context and blkcg of %current using bio_associate_current(). This is too restrictive for cgroup writeback support. Implement bio_associate_blkcg() which associates a bio with the specified blkcg. bio_associate_blkcg() leaves the io_context unassociated. bio_associate_current() is updated so that it considers a bio as already associated if it has a blkcg_css, instead of an io_context, associated with it.

2015-05-22block: remove management of bi_remaining when restoring original bi_end_ioMike Snitzer1-12/+0
Commit c4cf5261 ("bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_remaining for non-chains") regressed all existing callers that followed this pattern: 1) saving a bio's original bi_end_io 2) wiring up an intermediate bi_end_io 3) restoring the original bi_end_io from intermediate bi_end_io 4) calling bio_endio() to execute the restored original bi_end_io The regression was due to BIO_CHAIN only ever getting set if bio_inc_remaining() is called. For the above pattern it isn't set until step 3 above (step 2 would've needed to establish BIO_CHAIN). As such the first bio_endio(), in step 2 above, never decremented __bi_remaining before calling the intermediate bi_end_io -- leaving __bi_remaining with the value 1 instead of 0. When bio_inc_remaining() occurred during step 3 it brought it to a value of 2. When the second bio_endio() was called, in step 4 above, it should've called the original bi_end_io but it didn't because there was an extra reference that wasn't dropped (due to atomic operations being optimized away since BIO_CHAIN wasn't set upfront). Fix this issue by removing the __bi_remaining management complexity for all callers that use the above pattern -- bio_chain() is the only interface that _needs_ to be concerned with __bi_remaining. For the above pattern callers just expect the bi_end_io they set to get called! Remove bio_endio_nodec() and also remove all bio_inc_remaining() calls that aren't associated with the bio_chain() interface. Also, the bio_inc_remaining() interface has been moved local to bio.c.

2015-05-05bio: skip atomic inc/dec of ->bi_cnt for most use casesJens Axboe1-1/+15
Struct bio has a reference count that controls when it can be freed. Most uses cases is allocating the bio, which then returns with a single reference to it, doing IO, and then dropping that single reference. We can remove this atomic_dec_and_test() in the completion path, if nobody else is holding a reference to the bio. If someone does call bio_get() on the bio, then we flag the bio as now having valid count and that we must properly honor the reference count when it's being put.

Struct bio has an atomic ref count for chained bio's, and we use this to know when to end IO on the bio. However, most bio's are not chained, so we don't need to always introduce this atomic operation as part of ending IO. Add a helper to elevate the bi_remaining count, and flag the bio as now actually needing the decrement at end_io time. Rename the field to __bi_remaining to catch any current users of this doing the incrementing manually. For high IOPS workloads, this reduces the overhead of bio_endio() substantially.

2014-09-27block: Integrity checksum flagMartin K. Petersen1-0/+1
Make the choice of checksum a per-I/O property by introducing a flag that can be inspected by the SCSI layer. There are several reasons for this: 1. It allows us to switch choice of checksum without unloading and reloading the HBA driver. 2. During error recovery we need to be able to tell the HBA that checksums read from disk should not be verified and converted to IP checksums. 3. For error injection purposes we need to be able to write a bad guard tag to storage. Since the storage device only supports T10 CRC we need to be able to disable IP checksum conversion on the HBA.

This adds a generic mechanism for chaining bio completions. This is going to be used for a bio_split() replacement, and it turns out to be very useful in a fair amount of driver code - a fair number of drivers were implementing this in their own roundabout ways, often painfully. Note that this means it's no longer to call bio_endio() more than once on the same bio! This can cause problems for drivers that save/restore bi_end_io. Arguably they shouldn't be saving/restoring bi_end_io at all - in all but the simplest cases they'd be better off just cloning the bio, and immutable biovecs is making bio cloning cheaper.

(Two of the current uses of bio_segments() are going to go away in a couple patches, but the current implementation of bio_segments() is unsafe as soon as we start doing driver conversions for immutable biovecs - so implement a dumb version for bisectability, it'll go away in a couple patches) Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Nagalakshmi Nandigama <Nagalakshmi.Nandigama@lsi.com> Cc: Sreekanth Reddy <Sreekanth.Reddy@lsi.com> Cc: "James E.J.

The bio integrity is also stored in a bvec array, so if we use the bvec iter code we just added, the integrity code won't need to implement its own iteration stuff (bio_integrity_mark_head(), bio_integrity_mark_tail()) Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kmo@daterainc.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: "Martin K.

2013-11-24block: Immutable bio vecsKent Overstreet1-8/+73
This adds a mechanism by which we can advance a bio by an arbitrary number of bytes without modifying the biovec: bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done indicates the number of bytes completed in the current bvec. Various driver code still needs to be updated to not refer to the bvec directly before we can use this for interesting things, like efficient bio splitting.

More prep work for immutable biovecs - with immutable bvecs drivers won't be able to use the biovec directly, they'll need to use helpers that take into account bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done. This updates callers for the new usage without changing the implementation yet.

2013-11-24block: Convert bio_iovec() to bvec_iterKent Overstreet1-4/+6
For immutable biovecs, we'll be introducing a new bio_iovec() that uses our new bvec iterator to construct a biovec, taking into account bvec_iter->bi_bvec_done - this patch updates existing users for the new usage. Some of the existing users really do need a pointer into the bvec array - those uses are all going to be removed, but we'll need the functionality from immutable to remove them - so for now rename the existing bio_iovec() -> __bio_iovec(), and it'll be removed in a couple patches.

2013-10-25blk-mq: new multi-queue block IO queueing mechanismJens Axboe1-0/+2
Linux currently has two models for block devices: - The classic request_fn based approach, where drivers use struct request units for IO. The block layer provides various helper functionalities to let drivers share code, things like tag management, timeout handling, queueing, etc. - The "stacked" approach, where a driver squeezes in between the block layer and IO submitter. Since this bypasses the IO stack, driver generally have to manage everything themselves. With drivers being written for new high IOPS devices, the classic request_fn based driver doesn't work well enough. The design dates back to when both SMP and high IOPS was rare. It has problems with scaling to bigger machines, and runs into scaling issues even on smaller machines when you have IOPS in the hundreds of thousands per device. The stacked approach is then most often selected as the model for the driver. But this means that everybody has to re-invent everything, and along with that we get all the problems again that the shared approach solved. This commit introduces blk-mq, block multi queue support. The design is centered around per-cpu queues for queueing IO, which then funnel down into x number of hardware submission queues. We might have a 1:1 mapping between the two, or it might be an N:M mapping. That all depends on what the hardware supports. blk-mq provides various helper functions, which include: - Scalable support for request tagging. Most devices need to be able to uniquely identify a request both in the driver and to the hardware. The tagging uses per-cpu caches for freed tags, to enable cache hot reuse. - Timeout handling without tracking request on a per-device basis. Basically the driver should be able to get a notification, if a request happens to fail. - Optional support for non 1:1 mappings between issue and submission queues. blk-mq can redirect IO completions to the desired location. - Support for per-request payloads. Drivers almost always need to associate a request structure with some driver private command structure. Drivers can tell blk-mq this at init time, and then any request handed to the driver will have the required size of memory associated with it. - Support for merging of IO, and plugging. The stacked model gets neither of these. Even for high IOPS devices, merging sequential IO reduces per-command overhead and thus increases bandwidth. For now, this is provided as a potential 3rd queueing model, with the hope being that, as it matures, it can replace both the classic and stacked model. That would get us back to having just 1 real model for block devices, leaving the stacked approach to dm/md devices (as it was originally intended).
