* block: Allow devices to indicate whether discarded blocks are zeroedMartin K. Petersen2009-12-031-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device prior to putting metadata down. However, not all devices return zeroed blocks after a discard. Some drives return stale data, potentially containing old superblocks. It is therefore important to know whether discarded blocks are properly zeroed. Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether zeroes are returned after a discard operation. Implement a block level interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and queried via a new block device ioctl. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* block: Expose discard granularityMartin K. Petersen2009-11-101-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | While SSDs track block usage on a per-sector basis, RAID arrays often have allocation blocks that are bigger. Allow the discard granularity and alignment to be set and teach the topology stacking logic how to handle them. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* Add missing blk_trace_remove_sysfs to be in pair with blk_trace_init_sysfsZdenek Kabelac2009-10-011-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add missing blk_trace_remove_sysfs to be in pair with blk_trace_init_sysfs introduced in commit 1d54ad6da9192fed5dd3b60224d9f2dfea0dcd82.

* block: don't assume device has a request list backing in nr_requests storeJens Axboe2009-09-141-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Stacked devices do not. For now, just error out with -EINVAL. Later we could make the limit apply on stacked devices too, for throttling reasons. This fixes 5a54cd13353bb3b88887604e2c980aa01e314309 and should go into 2.6.31 stable as well. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: Allow changing max_sectors_kb above the default 512Nikanth Karthikesan2009-09-011-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch "block: Use accessor functions for queue limits" (ae03bf639a5027d27270123f5f6e3ee6a412781d) changed queue_max_sectors_store() to use blk_queue_max_sectors() instead of directly assigning the value. But blk_queue_max_sectors() differs a bit 1. It sets both max_sectors_kb, and max_hw_sectors_kb 2. Never allows one to change max_sectors_kb above BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. If one specifies a value greater then max_hw_sectors is set to that value but max_sectors is set to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS I am not sure whether blk_queue_max_sectors() should be changed, as it seems to be that way for a long time. And there may be callers dependent on that behaviour. This patch simply reverts to the older way of directly assigning the value to max_sectors as it was before.

* block: sysfs fix mismatched queue_var_{store,show} in 64bit kernelXiaotian Feng2009-07-171-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In blk-sysfs.c, queue_var_store uses unsigned long to store data, but queue_var_show uses unsigned int to show data. This causes, # echo 70000000000 > /sys/block/<dev>/queue/read_ahead_kb # cat /sys/block/<dev>/queue/read_ahead_kb => get wrong value Fix it by using unsigned long. While at it, convert queue_rq_affinity_show() such that it uses bool variable instead of explicit != 0 testing.

| * block: Export I/O topology for block devices and partitionsMartin K. Petersen2009-05-221-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we need to ensure proper alignment. This patch adds support for exposing I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked. logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address. physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write without incurring a read-modify-write penalty. The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by the device. In many cases this is the same as the physical block size. However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking (RAID5 chunk size > physical block size). The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by the device. This is usually the stripe width for arrays. The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment. Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets so filesystems start on proper boundaries. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

| * block: Expose stacked device queues in sysfsMartin K. Petersen2009-05-221-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently stacking devices do not have a queue directory in sysfs. However, many of the I/O characteristics like sector size, maximum request size, etc. are queue properties. This patch enables the queue directory for MD/DM devices. The elevator code has been modified to deal with queues that do not have an I/O scheduler. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

| * block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen2009-05-221-3/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size and the logical ditto. This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* block: add support for IO CPU affinityJens Axboe2008-10-091-0/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper (bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask for completion on that specific CPU. In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired. This requires a little help from the architecture, so it'll only work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp helper infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The block I/O + elevator + I/O scheduler code spend a lot of time trying to merge I/Os -- rightfully so under "normal" circumstances. However, if one were to know that the incoming I/O stream was /very/ random in nature, the cycles are wasted. This patch adds a per-request_queue tunable that (when set) disables merge attempts (beyond the simple one-hit cache check), thus freeing up a non-trivial amount of CPU cycles. Signed-off-by: Alan D.

* block: fix blk_register_queue() return valueAkinobu Mita2008-04-211-2/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blk_register_queue() returns -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL. But there are some block drivers that call blk_register_queue() via add_disk() with queue->request_fn == NULL. (For example, brd, loop) Although no one checks return value of blk_register_queue(), this patch makes it return 0 instead of -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL, Also this patch adds warning when blk_register_queue() and blk_unregister_queue() are called with queue == NULL rather than ignore invalid usage silently.
