2016-09-21lightnvm: control life of nvm_dev in driverMatias Bjørling
LightNVM compatible device drivers does not have a method to expose LightNVM specific sysfs entries. To enable LightNVM sysfs entries to be exposed, lightnvm device drivers require a struct device to attach it to. To allow both the actual device driver and lightnvm sysfs entries to coexist, the device driver tracks the lifetime of the nvm_dev structure. This patch refactors NVMe and null_blk to handle the lifetime of struct nvm_dev, which eliminates the need for struct gendisk when a lightnvm compatible device is provided.

If the LightNVM subsystem is not compiled into the kernel, and the null_blk device driver requests lightnvm to be initialized. The call to nvm_register fails and the null_add_dev function cleans up the initialization. However, at this point the null block device has already been added to the nullb_list and thus a second cleanup will occur when the function has returned, that leads to a double call to blk_cleanup_queue.

2016-01-12lightnvm: refactor end_io functions for syncMatias Bjørling
To implement sync I/O support within the LightNVM core, the end_io functions are refactored to take an end_io function pointer instead of testing for initialized media manager, followed by calling its end_io function. Sync I/O can then be implemented using a callback that signal I/O completion. This is similar to the logic found in blk_to_execute_io(). By implementing it this way, the underlying device I/Os submission logic is abstracted away from core, targets, and media managers.

2015-12-01null_blk: guarantee device restart in all irq modesArianna Avanzini
In single-queue (block layer) mode,the function null_rq_prep_fn stops the device if alloc_cmd fails. Then, once stopped, the device must be restarted on the next command completion, so that the request(s) for which alloc_cmd failed can be requeued. Otherwise the device hangs. Unfortunately, device restart is currently performed only for delayed completions, i.e., in irqmode==2. This fact causes hangs, for the above reasons, with the other irqmodes in combination with single-queue block layer. This commits addresses this issue by making sure that, if stopped, the device is properly restarted for all irqmodes on completions.

2015-12-01null_blk: set a separate timer for each commandPaolo Valente
For the Timer IRQ mode (i.e., when command completions are delayed), there is one timer for each CPU. Each of these timers . has a completion queue associated with it, containing all the command completions to be executed when the timer fires; . is set, and a new completion-to-execute is inserted into its completion queue, every time the dispatch code for a new command happens to be executed on the CPU related to the timer. This implies that, if the dispatch of a new command happens to be executed on a CPU whose timer has already been set, but has not yet fired, then the timer is set again, to the completion time of the newly arrived command. When the timer eventually fires, all its queued completions are executed. This way of handling delayed command completions entails the following problem: if more than one command completion is inserted into the queue of a timer before the timer fires, then the expiration time for the timer is moved forward every time each of these completions is enqueued. As a consequence, only the last completion enqueued enjoys a correct execution time, while all previous completions are unjustly delayed until the last completion is executed (and at that time they are executed all together). Specifically, if all the above completions are enqueued almost at the same time, then the problem is negligible. On the opposite end, if every completion is enqueued a while after the previous completion was enqueued (in the extreme case, it is enqueued only right before the timer would have expired), then every enqueued completion, except for the last one, experiences an inflated delay, proportional to the number of completions enqueued after it. In the end, commands, and thus I/O requests, may be completed at an arbitrarily lower rate than the desired one. This commit addresses this issue by replacing per-CPU timers with per-command timers, i.e., by associating an individual timer with each command.

2015-07-29block: add a bi_error field to struct bioChristoph Hellwig
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

2015-01-16null_blk: suppress invalid partition infoJens Axboe
null_blk is partitionable, but it doesn't store any of the info. When it is loaded, you would normally see: [1226739.343608] nullb0: unknown partition table [1226739.343746] nullb1: unknown partition table which can confuse some people. Add the appropriate gendisk flag to suppress this info. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-01-02block: fix checking return value of blk_mq_init_queueMing Lei
Check IS_ERR_OR_NULL(return value) instead of just return value. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com> Reduced to IS_ERR() by me, we never return NULL. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-11-26null_blk: boundary check queue_mode and irqmodeMatias Bjorling
When either queue_mode or irq_mode parameter is set outside its boundaries, the driver will not complete requests. This stalls driver initialization when partitions are probed. Fix by setting out of bound values to the parameters default. Signed-off-by: Matias Bjørling <m@bjorling.me> Updated by me to have the parse+check in just one function.

2014-10-29blk-mq: add a 'list' parameter to ->queue_rq()Jens Axboe
Since we have the notion of a 'last' request in a chain, we can use this to have the hardware optimize the issuing of requests. Add a list_head parameter to queue_rq that the driver can use to temporarily store hw commands for issue when 'last' is true. If we are doing a chain of requests, pass in a NULL list for the first request to force issue of that immediately, then batch the remainder for deferred issue until the last request has been sent. Instead of adding yet another argument to the hot ->queue_rq path, encapsulate the passed arguments in a blk_mq_queue_data structure. This is passed as a constant, and has been tested as faster than passing 4 (or even 3) args through ->queue_rq. Update drivers for the new ->queue_rq() prototype. There are no functional changes in this patch for drivers - if they don't use the passed in list, then they will just queue requests individually like before. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2014-10-22null_blk: Cleanup error recovery in null_add_dev()Jan Kara
When creation of queues fails in init_driver_queues(), we free the queues. But null_add_dev() doesn't test for this failure and continues with the setup leading to strange consequences, likely oops. Fix the problem by testing whether init_driver_queues() failed and do proper error cleanup. Coverity-id: 1148005 Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2014-10-04block: disable entropy contributions for nonrot devicesMike Snitzer
Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM in all block drivers that set QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT. Historically, all block devices have automatically made entropy contributions. But as previously stated in commit e2e1a148 ("block: add sysfs knob for turning off disk entropy contributions"): - On SSD disks, the completion times aren't as random as they are for rotational drives. So it's questionable whether they should contribute to the random pool in the first place. - Calling add_disk_randomness() has a lot of overhead. There are more reliable sources for randomness than non-rotational block devices. From a security perspective it is better to err on the side of caution than to allow entropy contributions from unreliable "random" sources.

2014-09-22blk-mq: call blk_mq_start_request from ->queue_rqChristoph Hellwig
When we call blk_mq_start_request from the core blk-mq code before calling into ->queue_rq there is a racy window where the timeout handler can hit before we've fully set up the driver specific part of the command. Move the call to blk_mq_start_request into the driver so the driver can start the request only once it is fully set up.

2014-09-22blk-mq: remove REQ_ENDChristoph Hellwig
Pass an explicit parameter for the last request in a batch to ->queue_rq instead of using a request flag. Besides being a cleaner and non-stateful interface this is also required for the next patch, which fixes the blk-mq I/O submission code to not start a time too early.

2014-09-02blk-mq: pass along blk_mq_alloc_tag_set return valuesRobert Elliott
Two of the blk-mq based drivers do not pass back the return value from blk_mq_alloc_tag_set, instead just returning -ENOMEM. blk_mq_alloc_tag_set returns -EINVAL if the number of queues or queue depth is bad. -ENOMEM implies that retrying after freeing some memory might be more successful, but that won't ever change in the -EINVAL cases. Change the null_blk and mtip32xx drivers to pass along the return value. Signed-off-by: Robert Elliott <elliott@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
