2009-09-01block: Allow changing max_sectors_kb above the default 512Nikanth Karthikesan1-1/+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.

2009-07-28block: make the end_io functions be non-GPL exportsJens Axboe1-6/+6
Prior to the change for more sane end_io functions, we exported the helpers with the normal EXPORT_SYMBOL(). That got changed to _GPL() for the new interface. Revert that particular change, on the basis that this is basic functionality and doesn't dip into internal structures. If these exports can't be non-GPL, then we may as well make EXPORT_SYMBOL() imply GPL for everything. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-07-17block: sysfs fix mismatched queue_var_{store,show} in 64bit kernelXiaotian Feng1-5/+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.

2009-07-17block: fix failfast merge testing in elv_rq_merge_ok()Tejun Heo1-4/+9
Commit ab0fd1debe730ec9998678a0c53caefbd121ed10 tries to prevent merge of requests with different failfast settings. In elv_rq_merge_ok(), it compares new bio's failfast flags against the merge target request's. However, the flag testing accessors for bio and blk don't return boolean but the tested bit value directly and FAILFAST on bio and blk don't match, so directly comparing them with == results in false negative unnecessary preventing merge of readahead requests. This patch convert the results to boolean by negating them before comparison.

2009-07-10cfq-iosched: reset oom_cfqq in cfq_set_request()Vivek Goyal1-1/+1
In case memory is scarce, we now default to oom_cfqq. Once memory is available again, we should allocate a new cfqq and stop using oom_cfqq for a particular io context. Once a new request comes in, check if we are using oom_cfqq, and if yes, try to allocate a new cfqq. Tested the patch by forcing the use of oom_cfqq and upon next request thread realized that it was using oom_cfqq and it allocated a new cfqq.

2009-07-10block: call blk_scsi_ioctl_init()FUJITA Tomonori1-0/+1
Currently, blk_scsi_ioctl_init() is not called since it lacks an initcall marking. This causes the command table to be unitialized, hence somce commands are block when they should not have been.

2009-07-03block: don't merge requests of different failfast settingsTejun Heo2-0/+14
Block layer used to merge requests and bios with different failfast settings. This caused regular IOs to fail prematurely when they were merged into failfast requests for readahead. Niel Lambrechts could trigger the problem semi-reliably on ext4 when resuming from STR. ext4 uses readahead when reading inodes and combined with the deterministic extra SATA PHY exception cycle during resume on the specific configuration, non-readahead inode read would fail causing ext4 errors. Please read the following thread for details. http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/5/23/21 This patch makes block layer reject merging if the failfast settings don't match. This is correct but likely to lower IO performance by preventing regular IOs from mingling into surrounding readahead requests. Changes to allow such mixed merges and handle errors correctly will be added later.

2009-07-01blocK: Restore barrier support for md and probably other virtual devices.NeilBrown1-5/+5
The next_ordered flag is only meaningful for devices that use __make_request. So move the test against next_ordered out of generic code and in to __make_request Since this test was added, barriers have not worked on md or any devices that don't use __make_request and so don't bother to set next_ordered. (dm explicitly sets something other than QUEUE_ORDERED_NONE since commit 99360b4c18f7675b50d283301d46d755affe75fd but notes in the comments that it is otherwise meaningless).

2009-07-01block: Create bip slabs with embedded integrity vectorsMartin K. Petersen1-1/+1
This patch restores stacking ability to the block layer integrity infrastructure by creating a set of dedicated bip slabs. Each bip slab has an embedded bio_vec array at the end. This cuts down on memory allocations and also simplifies the code compared to the original bvec version. Only the largest bip slab is backed by a mempool. The pool is contained in the bio_set so stacking drivers can ensure forward progress. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@carl.(none)>
2009-07-01cfq-iosched: get rid of the need for __GFP_NOFAIL in cfq_find_alloc_queue()Jens Axboe1-64/+73
Setup an emergency fallback cfqq that we allocate at IO scheduler init time. If the slab allocation fails in cfq_find_alloc_queue(), we'll just punt IO to that cfqq instead. This ensures that cfq_find_alloc_queue() never fails without having to ensure free memory. On cfqq lookup, always try to allocate a new cfqq if the given cfq io context has the oom_cfqq assigned. This ensures that we only temporarily punt to this shared queue. Reviewed-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-06-11block: add request clone interface (v2)Kiyoshi Ueda1-0/+100
This patch adds the following 2 interfaces for request-stacking drivers: - blk_rq_prep_clone(struct request *clone, struct request *orig, struct bio_set *bs, gfp_t gfp_mask, int (*bio_ctr)(struct bio *, struct bio*, void *), void *data) * Clones bios in the original request to the clone request (bio_ctr is called for each cloned bios.) * Copies attributes of the original request to the clone request. The actual data parts (e.g. ->cmd, ->buffer, ->sense) are not copied. - blk_rq_unprep_clone(struct request *clone) * Frees cloned bios from the clone request. Request stacking drivers (e.g. request-based dm) need to make a clone request for a submitted request and dispatch it to other devices. To allocate request for the clone, request stacking drivers may not be able to use blk_get_request() because the allocation may be done in an irq-disabled context. So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a request allocated by the caller as an argument. For each clone bio in the clone request, request stacking drivers should be able to set up their own completion handler. So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a callback function which is called for each clone bio, and a pointer for private data which is passed to the callback. NOTE: blk_rq_prep_clone() doesn't copy any actual data of the original request. Pages are shared between original bios and cloned bios. So caller must not complete the original request before the clone request.

2009-06-10block: prevent possible io_context->refcount overflowNikanth Karthikesan2-7/+7
Currently io_context has an atomic_t(32-bit) as refcount. In the case of cfq, for each device against whcih a task does I/O, a reference to the io_context would be taken. And when there are multiple process sharing io_contexts(CLONE_IO) would also have a reference to the same io_context. Theoretically the possible maximum number of processes sharing the same io_context + the number of disks/cfq_data referring to the same io_context can overflow the 32-bit counter on a very high-end machine. Even though it is an improbable case, let us make it atomic_long_t.

2009-06-09tracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT()Li Zefan2-18/+6
TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds these new capabilities to this tracepoint: - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing - binary tracing without printf overhead - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions ... Cons: - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events. no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL. no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL. This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue. But this may change in the future. - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print. While blktrace do the convertion just before output. Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue. - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry. The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array(). I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing: dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice) 1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s 2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s 3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using those trace events vs blktrace. And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace: # ls -l -h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out Following are some comparisons between TRACE_EVENT and blktrace: plug: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084981: block_plug: [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084981: 8,0 P N [kjournald] unplug_io: kblockd/0-118 [000] 300.052973: block_unplug_io: [kblockd/0] 1 kblockd/0-118 [000] 300.052974: 8,0 U N [kblockd/0] 1 remap: kjournald-480 [000] 303.085042: block_remap: 8,0 W 102736992 + 8 <- (8,8) 33384 kjournald-480 [000] 303.085043: 8,0 A W 102736992 + 8 <- (8,8) 33384 bio_backmerge: kjournald-480 [000] 303.085086: block_bio_backmerge: 8,0 W 102737032 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.085086: 8,0 M W 102737032 + 8 [kjournald] getrq: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084974: block_getrq: 8,0 W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084975: 8,0 G W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] bash-2066 [001] 1072.953770: 8,0 G N [bash] bash-2066 [001] 1072.953773: block_getrq: 0,0 N 0 + 0 [bash] rq_complete: konsole-2065 [001] 300.053184: block_rq_complete: 8,0 W () 103669040 + 16 [0] konsole-2065 [001] 300.053191: 8,0 C W 103669040 + 16 [0] ksoftirqd/1-7 [001] 1072.953811: 8,0 C N (5a 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 24 00) [0] ksoftirqd/1-7 [001] 1072.953813: block_rq_complete: 0,0 N (5a 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 24 00) 0 + 0 [0] rq_insert: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084985: block_rq_insert: 8,0 W 0 () 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084986: 8,0 I W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] Changelog from v2 -> v3: - use the newly introduced __dynamic_array().

2009-06-02block: fix a possible oops on elv_abort_queue()Kiyoshi Ueda1-0/+5
I found one more mis-conversion to the 'request is always dequeued when completing' model in elv_abort_queue() during code inspection. Although I haven't hit any problem caused by this mis-conversion yet and just done compile/boot test, please apply if you have no problem. Request must be dequeued when it completes. However, elv_abort_queue() completes requests without dequeueing. This will cause oops in the __blk_end_request_all(). This patch fixes the oops.

2009-05-30block: fix an oops on BLKPREP_KILLJames Bottomley1-0/+5
Doing a bit of torture testing, I ran across a BUG in the block subsystem (at blk-core.c:2048): the test for if the request is queued. It turns out the trigger was a BLKPREP_KILL coming out of the SCSI prep function. Currently for BLKPREP_KILL requests, we send them straight into __blk_end_request_all() with an error, but they've never been dequeued, so they trip the bug. Fix this by starting requests before killing them. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

commit e8939a50466fd963eb1ba9118c34b9ffb7ff6aa6 Author: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Date: Fri May 8 11:54:16 2009 +0900 block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch Added a BUG_ON(blk_queued_rq(req)) to the top of blk_finish_req(). Unfortunately, this checks whether req->queuelist is empty. This list is doing double duty both as the queue list and the tag list, so tagged requests come in here with this not empty and boom (the tag list is emptied by blk_queue_end_tag() lower down). Fix this by moving the BUG_ON to below the end tag we also seem vulnerable to this in blk_requeue_request() as well. I think all uses of blk_queued_rq() need auditing because the check is clearly wrong in the tagged case.

2009-05-22block: Export I/O topology for block devices and partitionsMartin K. Petersen3-0/+230
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.
