2009-05-30block: fix an oops on BLKPREP_KILLJames Bottomley
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>
2009-05-27block: fix oops with block tag queueingJames Bottomley
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.

New block API: given a struct bio allocates a new request. This is the parallel of generic_make_request for BLOCK_PC commands users. The passed bio may be a chained-bio. The bio is bounced if needed inside the call to this member. This is in the effort of un-exporting blk_rq_append_bio().

2009-05-19block: set rq->resid_len to blk_rq_bytes() on issueTejun Heo
In commit c3a4d78c580de4edc9ef0f7c59812fb02ceb037f, while introducing rq->resid_len, the default value of residue count was changed from full count to zero. The conversion was done under the assumption that when a request fails residue count wasn't defined. However, Boaz and James pointed out that this wasn't true and the residue count should be preserved for failed requests too. This patchset restores the original behavior by setting rq->resid_len to blk_rq_bytes(rq) on request start and restoring explicit clearing in affected drivers. While at it, take advantage of the fact that rq->resid_len is set to full count where applicable. * ide-cd: rq->resid_len cleared on pc success * mptsas: req->resid_len cleared on success * sas_expander: rsp/req->resid_len cleared on success * mpt2sas_transport: req->resid_len cleared on success * ide-cd, ide-tape, mptsas, sas_host_smp, mpt2sas_transport, ub: take advantage of initial full count to simplify code Boaz Harrosh spotted bug in resid_len initialization.

2009-05-12block: fix the bio_vec array index out-of-bounds testKazuhisa Ichikawa
Current bio_vec array index out-of-bounds test within __end_that_request_first() does not seem correct. It checks bio->bi_idx against bio->bi_vcnt, but the subsequent code uses idx (which is, bio->bi_idx + next_idx) as the array index into bio_vec array. This means that the test really make sense only at the first iteration of !(nr_bytes >=bio->bi_size) case (when next_idx == zero). Fix this by replacing bio->bi_idx with idx.

2009-05-11block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetchTejun Heo
Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution. A request is always acquired from the request queue via elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request() to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight. Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with segments only without considering request boundary. However, the benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer and its more modern users. Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing model. This patch completes the API transition by... * renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request() * renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request() * adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start * disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests * applying new API to all LLDs Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

2009-05-11block: hide request sector and data_lenTejun Heo
Block low level drivers for some reason have been pretty good at abusing block layer API. Especially struct request's fields tend to get violated in all possible ways. Make it clear that low level drivers MUST NOT access or manipulate rq->sector and rq->data_len directly by prefixing them with double underscores. This change is also necessary to break build of out-of-tree codes which assume the previous block API where internal fields can be manipulated and rq->data_len carries residual count on completion.

2009-05-11block: drop request->hard_* and *nr_sectorsTejun Heo
struct request has had a few different ways to represent some properties of a request. ->hard_* represent block layer's view of the request progress (completion cursor) and the ones without the prefix are supposed to represent the issue cursor and allowed to be updated as necessary by the low level drivers. The thing is that as block layer supports partial completion, the two cursors really aren't necessary and only cause confusion. In addition, manual management of request detail from low level drivers is cumbersome and error-prone at the very least. Another interesting duplicate fields are rq->[hard_]nr_sectors and rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors against rq->data_len and rq->bio->bi_size. This is more convoluted than the hard_ case. rq->[hard_]nr_sectors are initialized for requests with bio but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for !pc requests. rq->data_len is initialized for all request but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for pc requests. This causes good amount of confusion throughout block layer and its drivers and determining the request length has been a bit of black magic which may or may not work depending on circumstances and what the specific LLD is actually doing. rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors represent the number of sectors in the contiguous data area at the front. This is mainly used by drivers which transfers data by walking request segment-by-segment. This value always equals rq->bio->bi_size >> 9. However, data length for pc requests may not be multiple of 512 bytes and using this field becomes a bit confusing. In general, having multiple fields to represent the same property leads only to confusion and subtle bugs. With recent block low level driver cleanups, no driver is accessing or manipulating these duplicate fields directly. Drop all the duplicates. Now rq->sector means the current sector, rq->data_len the current total length and rq->bio->bi_size the current segment length. Everything else is defined in terms of these three and available only through accessors. * blk_recalc_rq_sectors() is collapsed into blk_update_request() and now handles pc and fs requests equally other than rq->sector update. This means that now pc requests can use partial completion too (no in-kernel user yet tho). * bio_cur_sectors() is replaced with bio_cur_bytes() as block layer now uses byte count as the primary data length. * blk_rq_pos() is now guranteed to be always correct. In-block users converted. * blk_rq_bytes() is now guaranteed to be always valid as is blk_rq_sectors(). In-block users converted. * blk_rq_sectors() is now guaranteed to equal blk_rq_bytes() >> 9. More convenient one is used. * blk_rq_bytes() and blk_rq_cur_bytes() are now inlined and take const pointer to request.

2009-04-28block: clean up request completion APITejun Heo
Request completion has gone through several changes and became a bit messy over the time. Clean it up. 1. end_that_request_data() is a thin wrapper around end_that_request_data_first() which checks whether bio is NULL before doing anything and handles bidi completion. blk_update_request() is a thin wrapper around end_that_request_data() which clears nr_sectors on the last iteration but doesn't use the bidi completion. Clean it up by moving the initial bio NULL check and nr_sectors clearing on the last iteration into end_that_request_data() and renaming it to blk_update_request(), which makes blk_end_io() the only user of end_that_request_data(). Collapse end_that_request_data() into blk_end_io(). 2. There are four visible completion variants - blk_end_request(), __blk_end_request(), blk_end_bidi_request() and end_request(). blk_end_request() and blk_end_bidi_request() uses blk_end_request() as the backend but __blk_end_request() and end_request() use separate implementation in __blk_end_request() due to different locking rules. blk_end_bidi_request() is identical to blk_end_io(). Collapse blk_end_io() into blk_end_bidi_request(), separate out request update into internal helper blk_update_bidi_request() and add __blk_end_bidi_request(). Redefine [__]blk_end_request() as thin inline wrappers around [__]blk_end_bidi_request(). 3. As the whole request issue/completion usages are about to be modified and audited, it's a good chance to convert completion functions return bool which better indicates the intended meaning of return values. 4. The function name end_that_request_last() is from the days when it was a public interface and slighly confusing. Give it a proper internal name - blk_finish_request(). 5. Add description explaning that blk_end_bidi_request() can be safely used for uni requests as suggested by Boaz Harrosh. The only visible behavior change is from #1. nr_sectors counts are cleared after the final iteration no matter which function is used to complete the request. I couldn't find any place where the code assumes those nr_sectors counters contain the values for the last segment and this change is good as it makes the API much more consistent as the end result is now same whether a request is completed using [__]blk_end_request() alone or in combination with blk_update_request(). API further cleaned up per Christoph's suggestion.

2009-04-07block: remove unused REQ_UNPLUGJens Axboe
The request inherits the unplug flag from the bio, but it isn't actually used. The bio flag stops at __make_request(), which tells it to unplug after submission. Passing it on to the request doesn't make any sense. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-07block: fix inconsistency in I/O stat accounting codeJerome Marchand
This forces in_flight to be zero when turning off or on the I/O stat accounting and stops updating I/O stats in attempt_merge() when accounting is turned off. Signed-off-by: Jerome Marchand <jmarchan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-06block: Add flag for telling the IO schedulers NOT to anticipate more IOJens Axboe
By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those. Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this flag.

2009-04-03blktrace: fix pdu_len when tracing packet command requestsLi Zefan
Impact: output all of packet commands - not just the first 4 / 8 bytes Since commit d7e3c3249ef23b4617393c69fe464765b4ff1645 ("block: add large command support"), struct request->cmd has been changed from unsinged char cmd[BLK_MAX_CDB] to unsigned char *cmd. v1 -> v2: by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> - make sure rq->cmd_len is always intialized, and then we can use rq->cmd_len instead of BLK_MAX_CDB.

2009-03-26block: WARN in __blk_put_request() for potential bio leakBoaz Harrosh
Put a WARN_ON in __blk_put_request if it is about to leak bio(s). This is a serious bug that can happen in error handling code paths. For this to work I have fixed a couple of places in block/ where request->bio != NULL ownership was not honored. And a small cleanup at sg_io() while at it.

2009-02-02block: fix oops in blk_queue_io_stat()Jens Axboe
Some initial probe requests don't have disk->queue mapped yet, so we can't rely on a non-NULL queue in blk_queue_io_stat(). Wrap it in blk_do_io_stat(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2008-12-29block: remove duplicate or unused barrier/discard error pathsTejun Heo
* Because barrier mode can be changed dynamically, whether barrier is supported or not can be determined only when actually issuing the barrier and there is no point in checking it earlier. Drop barrier support check in generic_make_request() and __make_request(), and update comment around the support check in blk_do_ordered(). * There is no reason to check discard support in both generic_make_request() and __make_request(). Drop the check in __make_request(). While at it, move error action block to the end of the function and add unlikely() to q existence test. * Barrier request, be it empty or not, is never passed to low level driver and thus it's meaningless to try to copy back req->sector to bio->bi_sector on error. In addition, the notion of failed sector doesn't make any sense for empty barrier to begin with. Drop the code block from __end_that_request_first().
