2021-03-02block/bfq: update comments and default value in docs for fifo_expireJoseph Qi1-2/+2
Correct the comments since bfq_fifo_expire[0] is for async request, while bfq_fifo_expire[1] is for sync request. Also update docs, according the source code, the default fifo_expire_async is 250ms, and fifo_expire_sync is 125ms.

2021-02-10block: introduce zone_write_granularity limitDamien Le Moal1-0/+7
Per ZBC and ZAC specifications, host-managed SMR hard-disks mandate that all writes into sequential write required zones be aligned to the device physical block size. However, NVMe ZNS does not have this constraint and allows write operations into sequential zones to be aligned to the device logical block size. This inconsistency does not help with software portability across device types. To solve this, introduce the zone_write_granularity queue limit to indicate the alignment constraint, in bytes, of write operations into zones of a zoned block device. This new limit is exported as a read-only sysfs queue attribute and the helper blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() introduced for drivers to set this limit. The function blk_queue_set_zoned() is modified to set this new limit to the device logical block size by default. NVMe ZNS devices as well as zoned nullb devices use this default value as is. The scsi disk driver is modified to execute the blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() helper to set the zone write granularity of host-managed SMR disks to the disk physical block size. The accessor functions queue_zone_write_granularity() and bdev_zone_write_granularity() are also introduced.

2021-02-01block/keyslot-manager: introduce devm_blk_ksm_init()Eric Biggers1-6/+6
Add a resource-managed variant of blk_ksm_init() so that drivers don't have to worry about calling blk_ksm_destroy(). Note that the implementation uses a custom devres action to call blk_ksm_destroy() rather than switching the two allocations to be directly devres-managed, e.g. with devm_kmalloc(). This is because we need to keep zeroing the memory containing the keyslots when it is freed, and also because we want to continue using kvmalloc() (and there is no devm_kvmalloc()).

A zoned device with limited resources to open or activate zones may return an error when the host exceeds those limits. The same command may be successful if retried later, but the host needs to wait for specific zone states before it should expect a retry to succeed.

The kernel documentation includes a brief section about genhd capabilities, but it turns out that the only documented capability (GENHD_FL_MEDIA_CHANGE_NOTIFY) isn't used any more. This patch removes that flag, and documents the rest, based on my understanding of the current uses of these flags in the kernel. The documentation is kept in the header file, alongside the declarations, in the hope that it will be kept up-to-date in future; the kernel documentation is changed to include the documentation generated from the header file. Because the ultimate goal is to provide some end-user documentation (or end-administrator documentation), the comments are perhaps more user-oriented than might be expected. Since the values are shown to users in hexadecimal, the documentation lists them in hexadecimal, and the constant declarations are adjusted to match.

2019-06-20block: remove the bi_phys_segments field in struct bioChristoph Hellwig1-1/+0
We only need the number of segments in the blk-mq submission path. Remove the field from struct bio, and return it from a variant of blk_queue_split instead of that it can passed as an argument to those functions that need the value. This also means we stop recounting segments except for cloning and partial segments. To keep the number of arguments in this how path down remove pointless struct request_queue arguments from any of the functions that had it and grew a nr_segs argument.

2019-01-06null_blk: add zoned config support informationJohn Pittman1-1/+2
If the kernel is built without CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED, a modprobe of the null_blk driver with zoned=1 fails with 'Invalid argument'. This can be confusing to users, prompting a search as to why the parameter is invalid. To assist in that search, add a bit more information to the failure, additionally adding to the documentation that CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is needed for zoned=1.
