* block: Switch blk_integrity_compare from bdev to gendiskMartin K. Petersen2008-10-091-14/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | The DM and MD integrity support now depends on being able to use gendisks instead of block_devices when comparing integrity profiles. Change function parameters accordingly. Also update comparison logic so that two NULL profiles are a valid configuration. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* block: remove end_{queued|dequeued}_request()Kiyoshi Ueda2008-10-091-51/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes end_queued_request() and end_dequeued_request(), which are no longer used. As a results, users of __end_request() became only end_request(). So the actual code in __end_request() is moved to end_request() and __end_request() is removed.

* block: add lld busy state exporting interfaceKiyoshi Ueda2008-10-092-0/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an new interface, blk_lld_busy(), to check lld's busy state from the block layer. blk_lld_busy() calls down into low-level drivers for the checking if the drivers set q->lld_busy_fn() using blk_queue_lld_busy(). This resolves a performance problem on request stacking devices below. Some drivers like scsi mid layer stop dispatching request when they detect busy state on its low-level device like host/target/device. It allows other requests to stay in the I/O scheduler's queue for a chance of merging. Request stacking drivers like request-based dm should follow the same logic. However, there is no generic interface for the stacked device to check if the underlying device(s) are busy. If the request stacking driver dispatches and submits requests to the busy underlying device, the requests will stay in the underlying device's queue without a chance of merging. This causes performance problem on burst I/O load. With this patch, busy state of the underlying device is exported via q->lld_busy_fn(). So the request stacking driver can check it and stop dispatching requests if busy. The underlying device driver must return the busy state appropriately: 1: when the device driver can't process requests immediately. 0: when the device driver can process requests immediately, including abnormal situations where the device driver needs to kill all requests.

| | | | | | | | | We don't want to idle in AS/CFQ if the device doesn't have a seek penalty. So add a QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT to indicate a non-rotational device, low level drivers should set this flag upon discovery of an SSD or similar device type. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: add a queue flag for request stacking supportKiyoshi Ueda2008-10-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds a queue flag to indicate the block device can be used for request stacking. Request stacking drivers need to stack their devices on top of only devices of which q->request_fn is functional. Since bio stacking drivers (e.g. md, loop) basically initialize their queue using blk_alloc_queue() and don't set q->request_fn, the check of (q->request_fn == NULL) looks enough for that purpose. However, dm will become both types of stacking driver (bio-based and request-based). And dm will always set q->request_fn even if the dm device is bio-based of which q->request_fn is not functional actually. So we need something else to distinguish the type of the device. Adding a queue flag is a solution for that. The reason why dm always sets q->request_fn is to keep the compatibility of dm user-space tools. Currently, all dm user-space tools are using bio-based dm without specifying the type of the dm device they use. To use request-based dm without changing such tools, the kernel must decide the type of the dm device automatically. The automatic type decision can't be done at the device creation time and needs to be deferred until such tools load a mapping table, since the actual type is decided by dm target type included in the mapping table. So a dm device has to be initialized using blk_init_queue() so that we can load either type of table. Then, all queue stuffs are set (e.g. q->request_fn) and we have no element to distinguish that it is bio-based or request-based, even after a table is loaded and the type of the device is decided. By the way, some stuffs of the queue (e.g. request_list, elevator) are needless when the dm device is used as bio-based. But the memory size is not so large (about 20[KB] per queue on ia64), so I hope the memory loss can be acceptable for bio-based dm users.

* block: add request submission interfaceKiyoshi Ueda2008-10-091-0/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds blk_insert_cloned_request(), a generic request submission interface for request stacking drivers. Request-based dm will use it to submit their clones to underlying devices. blk_rq_check_limits() is also added because it is possible that the lower queue has stronger limitations than the upper queue if multiple drivers are stacking at request-level. Not only for blk_insert_cloned_request()'s internal use, the function will be used by request-based dm when the queue limitation is modified (e.g. by replacing dm's table).

* block: add request update interfaceKiyoshi Ueda2008-10-091-9/+48
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds blk_update_request(), which updates struct request with completing its data part, but doesn't complete the struct request itself. Though it looks like end_that_request_first() of older kernels, blk_update_request() should be used only by request stacking drivers. Request-based dm will use it in bio->bi_end_io callback to update the original request when a data part of a cloned request completes. Followings are additional background information of why request-based dm needs this interface. - Request stacking drivers can't use blk_end_request() directly from the lower driver's completion context (bio->bi_end_io or rq->end_io), because some device drivers (e.g. ide) may try to complete their request with queue lock held, and it may cause deadlock. See below for detailed description of possible deadlock: <http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120311479108569&w=2> - To solve that, request-based dm offloads the completion of cloned struct request to softirq context (i.e. using blk_complete_request() from rq->end_io). - Though it is possible to use the same solution from bio->bi_end_io, it will delay the notification of bio completion to the original submitter. Also, it will cause inefficient partial completion, because the lower driver can't perform the cloned request anymore and request-based dm needs to requeue and redispatch it to the lower driver again later. That's not good. - So request-based dm needs blk_update_request() to perform the bio completion in the lower driver's completion context, which is more efficient.

* block: blk_cleanup_queue() should call blk_sync_queue()Jens Axboe2008-10-091-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | When a driver calls blk_cleanup_queue(), the device should be fully idle.

Add gfp_mask argument, so swap allocation can use it where GFP_KERNEL might deadlock but GFP_NOIO is safe. 2. Enlarge nr_sects argument from unsigned to sector_t: unsigned long is enough to cover a whole swap area, but sector_t suits any partition. Change sb_issue_discard()'s nr_blocks to sector_t too; but no need seen for a gfp_mask there, just pass GFP_KERNEL down to blkdev_issue_discard().

* cfq-iosched: fix queue depth detectionAaron Carroll2008-10-091-9/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | CFQ's detection of queueing devices assumes a non-queuing device and detects if the queue depth reaches a certain threshold. Under some workloads (e.g. synchronous reads), CFQ effectively forces a unit queue depth, thus defeating the detection logic. This leads to poor performance on queuing hardware, since the idle window remains enabled. This patch inverts the sense of the logic: assume a queuing-capable device, and detect if the depth does not exceed the threshold.

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.

Also, the partition array was indexed by partno - 1 which gets pretty confusing at times. This patch introduces partition 0 and makes the partition array indexed by partno. Following patches will unify the handling of disk and parts piece-by-piece. This patch also implements disk_partitionable() which tests whether a disk is partitionable. With coming dynamic partition array change, the most common usage of disk_max_parts() will be testing whether a disk is partitionable and the number of max partitions will become much less important.

* block: implement and use {disk|part}_to_dev()Tejun Heo2008-10-093-17/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | Implement {disk|part}_to_dev() and use them to access generic device instead of directly dereferencing {disk|part}->dev. To make sure no user is left behind, rename generic devices fields to __dev. This is in preparation of unifying partition 0 handling with other partitions.

* block: implement CONFIG_DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVTTejun Heo2008-10-091-3/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extended devt introduces non-contiguos device numbers. This patch implements a debug option which forces most devt allocations to be from the extended area and spreads them out. This is enabled by default if DEBUG_KERNEL is set and achieves... 1. Detects code paths in kernel or userland which expect predetermined consecutive device numbers. 2. When something goes wrong, avoid corruption as adding to the minor of earlier partition won't lead to the wrong but valid device.

* block: adjust formatting for large minors and add ext_range sysfs attrTejun Heo2008-10-091-11/+34
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With extended minors and the soon-to-follow debug feature, large minor numbers for block devices will be common. This patch does the followings to make printouts pretty. * Adapt print formats such that large minors don't break the formatting. * For extended MAJ:MIN, %02x%02x for MAJ:MIN used in printk_all_partitions() doesn't cut it anymore. Update it such that %03x:%05x is used if either MAJ or MIN doesn't fit in %02x. * Implement ext_range sysfs attribute which shows total minors the device can use including both conventional minor space and the extended one.

* block: implement extended dev numbersTejun Heo2008-10-091-5/+115
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement extended device numbers. A block driver can tell block layer that it wants to use extended device numbers. After the usual minor space is used up, block layer automatically allocates devt's from EXT_BLOCK_MAJOR. Currently only one major number is allocated for this but as the allocation is strictly on-demand, ~1mil minor space under it should suffice unless the system actually has more than ~1mil partitions and if that ever happens adding more majors to the extended devt area is easy. Due to internal implementation issues, the first partition can't be allocated on the extended area. In other words, genhd->minors should at least be 1. This limitation will be lifted by later changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: fix diskstats accessTejun Heo2008-10-093-39/+44
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters. It's unclear whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on entry as some callers don't do that. This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock() and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access). diskstats access should always be enclosed between the two functions. As such, there's no need for the versions which disables preemption. They're removed and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars. As an extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version unconverted. disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu argument to help RT. This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also collapses several preemption ops into one at others. Overall, the performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are very lightweight per-cpu ones.
