* block: Fix discard topology stacking and reportingMartin K. Petersen2011-05-181-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In some cases we would end up stacking discard_zeroes_data incorrectly. Fix this by enabling the feature by default for stacking drivers and clearing it for low-level drivers. Incorporating a device that does not support dzd will then cause the feature to be disabled in the stacking driver. Also ensure that the maximum discard value does not overflow when exported in sysfs and return 0 in the alignment and dzd fields for devices that don't support discard.

* | block: Initialize ->queue_lock to internal lock at queue allocation timeVivek Goyal2011-03-031-7/+0
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There does not seem to be a clear convention whether q->queue_lock is initialized or not when blk_cleanup_queue() is called. In the past it was not necessary but now blk_throtl_exit() takes up queue lock by default and needs queue lock to be available. In fact elevator_exit() code also has similar requirement just that it is less stringent in the sense that elevator_exit() is called only if elevator is initialized. Two problems have been noticed because of ambiguity about spin lock status. - If a driver calls blk_alloc_queue() and then soon calls blk_cleanup_queue() almost immediately, (because some other driver structure allocation failed or some other error happened) then blk_throtl_exit() will run into issues as queue lock is not initialized. Loop driver ran into this issue recently and I noticed error paths in md driver too. Similar error paths should exist in other drivers too. - If some driver provided external spin lock and zapped the lock before blk_cleanup_queue(), then it can lead to issues. So this patch initializes the default queue lock at queue allocation time. block throttling code is one of the users of queue lock and it is initialized at the queue allocation time, so it makes sense to initialize ->queue_lock also to internal lock. A driver can overide that lock later. This will take care of the issue where a driver does not have to worry about initializing the queue lock to default before calling blk_cleanup_queue() Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
* block: max hardware sectors limit wrapperMike Snitzer2010-12-171-6/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() and make blk_queue_max_hw_sectors() a wrapper around it. DM needs this to avoid setting queue_limits' max_hw_sectors and max_sectors directly. dm_set_device_limits() now leverages blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() logic to establish the appropriate max_hw_sectors minimum (PAGE_SIZE). Fixes issue where DM was incorrectly setting max_sectors rather than max_hw_sectors (which caused dm_merge_bvec()'s max_hw_sectors check to be ineffective).

* block: Deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use queue_limits insteadMartin K. Petersen2010-12-171-23/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a metadevice. There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver. The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing. We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking. Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

* | include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* block: Do not clamp max_hw_sectors for stacking devicesMartin K. Petersen2009-10-011-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | Stacking devices do not have an inherent max_hw_sector limit. Set the default to INT_MAX so we are bounded only by capabilities of the underlying storage. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: Set max_sectors correctly for stacking devicesMartin K. Petersen2009-10-011-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | The topology changes unintentionally caused SAFE_MAX_SECTORS to be set for stacking devices. Set the default limit to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS and provide SAFE_MAX_SECTORS in blk_queue_make_request() for legacy hw drivers that depend on the old behavior.

* block: Optimal I/O limit wrapperMartin K. Petersen2009-09-141-1/+20
| | | | | | | | | Implement blk_limits_io_opt() and make blk_queue_io_opt() a wrapper around it. DM needs this to avoid poking at the queue_limits directly. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* block: Make blk_queue_stack_limits use the new stacking interfaceMartin K. Petersen2009-08-011-21/+1
| | | | | | | | | blk_queue_stack_limits() has been superceded by blk_stack_limits() and disk_stack_limits(). Wrap the function call for now, we'll deprecate it later. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: always assign default lock to queuesJens Axboe2009-07-281-0/+7
| | | | | | | | | Move the assignment of a default lock below blk_init_queue() to blk_queue_make_request(), so we also get to set the default lock for ->make_request_fn() based drivers. This is important since the queue flag locking requires a lock to be in place. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
