* block: Implement support for WRITE SAMEMartin K. Petersen2012-09-201-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The WRITE SAME command supported on some SCSI devices allows the same block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O. This patch implements support for WRITE SAME in the block layer. The blkdev_issue_write_same() function can be used by filesystems and block drivers to replicate a buffer across a block range. This can be used to efficiently initialize software RAID devices, etc. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* block: Clean up special command handling logicMartin K. Petersen2012-09-201-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove special-casing of non-rw fs style requests (discard). The nomerge flags are consolidated in blk_types.h, and rq_mergeable() and bio_mergeable() have been modified to use them. bio_is_rw() is used in place of bio_has_data() a few places. This is done to to distinguish true reads and writes from other fs type requests that carry a payload (e.g. write same). Signed-off-by: Martin K.

* block: Kill bi_destructorKent Overstreet2012-09-091-3/+0Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we've got generic code for freeing bios allocated from bio pools, this isn't needed anymore. This patch also makes bio_free() static, since without bi_destructor there should be no need for it to be called anywhere else. bio_free() is now only called from bio_put, so we can refactor those a bit - move some code from bio_put() to bio_free() and kill the redundant bio->bi_next = NULL. v5: Switch to BIO_KMALLOC_POOL ((void *)~0), per Boaz v6: BIO_KMALLOC_POOL now NULL, drop bio_free's EXPORT_SYMBOL v7: No #define BIO_KMALLOC_POOL anymore Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com> CC: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
* block: Add bio_reset()Kent Overstreet2012-09-091-6/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reusing bios is something that's been highly frowned upon in the past, but driver code keeps doing it anyways. If it's going to happen anyways, we should provide a generic method. This'll help with getting rid of bi_destructor - drivers/block/pktcdvd.c was open coding it, by doing a bio_init() and resetting bi_destructor. This required reordering struct bio, but the block layer is not yet nearly fast enough for any cacheline effects to matter here. v5: Add a define BIO_RESET_BITS, to be very explicit about what parts of bio->bi_flags are saved. v6: Further commenting verbosity, per Tejun v9: Add a function comment Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com> CC: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
* block: Generalized bio pool freeingKent Overstreet2012-09-091-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the old code, when you allocate a bio from a bio pool you have to implement your own destructor that knows how to find the bio pool the bio was originally allocated from. This adds a new field to struct bio (bi_pool) and changes bio_alloc_bioset() to use it. This makes various bio destructors unnecessary, so they're then deleted. v6: Explain the temporary if statement in bio_put Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <koverstreet@google.com> CC: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> CC: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de> CC: Alasdair Kergon <agk@redhat.com> CC: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org> CC: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@linbit.com> Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@linux-iscsi.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
* mm: add get_kernel_page[s] for pinning of kernel addresses for I/OMel Gorman2012-08-011-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds two new APIs get_kernel_pages() and get_kernel_page() that may be used to pin a vector of kernel addresses for IO. The initial user is expected to be NFS for allowing pages to be written to swap using aops->direct_IO(). Strictly speaking, swap-over-NFS only needs to pin one page for IO but it makes sense to express the API in terms of a vector and add a helper for pinning single pages.

* block: implement bio_associate_current()Tejun Heo2012-03-061-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | IO scheduling and cgroup are tied to the issuing task via io_context and cgroup of %current. Unfortunately, there are cases where IOs need to be routed via a different task which makes scheduling and cgroup limit enforcement applied completely incorrectly. For example, all bios delayed by blk-throttle end up being issued by a delayed work item and get assigned the io_context of the worker task which happens to serve the work item and dumped to the default block cgroup. This is double confusing as bios which aren't delayed end up in the correct cgroup and makes using blk-throttle and cfq propio together impossible. Any code which punts IO issuing to another task is affected which is getting more and more common (e.g. btrfs). As both io_context and cgroup are firmly tied to task including userland visible APIs to manipulate them, it makes a lot of sense to match up tasks to bios. This patch implements bio_associate_current() which associates the specified bio with %current. The bio will record the associated ioc and blkcg at that point and block layer will use the recorded ones regardless of which task actually ends up issuing the bio. bio release puts the associated ioc and blkcg. It grabs and remembers ioc and blkcg instead of the task itself because task may already be dead by the time the bio is issued making ioc and blkcg inaccessible and those are all block layer cares about. elevator_set_req_fn() is updated such that the bio elvdata is being allocated for is available to the elevator. This doesn't update block cgroup policies yet. Further patches will implement the support. -v2: #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP added around bio->bi_ioc dereference in rq_ioc() to fix build breakage.

* block: Remove the control of complete cpu from bio.Tao Ma2011-10-241-7/+4Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bio originally has the functionality to set the complete cpu, but it is broken. Chirstoph said that "This code is unused, and from the all the discussions lately pretty obviously broken. The only thing keeping it serves is creating more confusion and possibly more bugs." And Jens replied with "We can kill bio_set_completion_cpu(). I'm fine with leaving cpu control to the request based drivers, they are the only ones that can toggle the setting anyway". So this patch tries to remove all the work of controling complete cpu from a bio.

* block: initial patch for on-stack per-task pluggingJens Axboe2011-03-101-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to the IO scheduler. The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule event. The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page() callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page() hack in the vm. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

REQ_FLUSH means the device cache should be flushed before executing the request. REQ_FUA means that the data in the request should be on non-volatile media on completion. Block layer will choose the correct way of implementing the semantics and execute it. The request may be passed to the device directly if the device can handle it; otherwise, it will be sequenced using one or more proxy requests. Devices will never see REQ_FLUSH and/or FUA which it doesn't support. Also, unlike the original REQ_HARDBARRIER, REQ_FLUSH/FUA requests are never failed with -EOPNOTSUPP. If the underlying device doesn't support FLUSH/FUA, the block layer simply make those noop. IOW, it no longer distinguishes between writeback cache which doesn't support cache flush and writethrough/no cache. Devices which have WB cache w/o flush are very difficult to come by these days and there's nothing much we can do anyway, so it doesn't make sense to require everyone to implement -EOPNOTSUPP handling. This will simplify filesystems and block drivers as they can drop -EOPNOTSUPP retry logic for barriers. * QUEUE_ORDERED_* are removed and QUEUE_FSEQ_* are moved into blk-flush.c. * REQ_FLUSH w/o data can also be directly passed to drivers without sequencing but some drivers assume that zero length requests don't have rq->bio which isn't true for these requests requiring the use of proxy requests. * REQ_COMMON_MASK now includes REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA so that they are copied from bio to request. * WRITE_BARRIER is marked deprecated and WRITE_FLUSH, WRITE_FUA and WRITE_FLUSH_FUA are added.

| * block: drop barrier ordering by queue drainingTejun Heo2010-09-101-2/+0Star

This patch drops barrier ordering by queue draining from block layer. Ordering by draining implementation was somewhat invasive to request handling. List of notable changes follow. * Each queue has 1 bit color which is flipped on each barrier issue. This is used to track whether a given request is issued before the current barrier or not. REQ_ORDERED_COLOR flag and coloring implementation in __elv_add_request() are removed. * Requests which shouldn't be processed yet for draining were stalled by returning -EAGAIN from blk_do_ordered() according to the test result between blk_ordered_req_seq() and blk_blk_ordered_cur_seq(). This logic is removed. * Draining completion logic in elv_completed_request() removed. * All barrier sequence requests were queued to request queue and then trckled to lower layer according to progress and thus maintaining request orders during requeue was necessary. This is replaced by queueing the next request in the barrier sequence only after the current one is complete from blk_ordered_complete_seq(), which removes the need for multiple proxy requests in struct request_queue and the request sorting logic in the ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE path of elv_insert(). * As barriers no longer have ordering constraints, there's no need to dump the whole elevator onto the dispatch queue on each barrier. Insert barriers at the front instead. * If other barrier requests come to the front of the dispatch queue while one is already in progress, they are stored in q->pending_barriers and restored to dispatch queue one-by-one after each barrier completion from blk_ordered_complete_seq().
