2016-02-04block/sd: Return -EREMOTEIO when WRITE SAME and DISCARD are disabledMartin K. Petersen
When a storage device rejects a WRITE SAME command we will disable write same functionality for the device and return -EREMOTEIO to the block layer. -EREMOTEIO will in turn prevent DM from retrying the I/O and/or failing the path. Yiwen Jiang discovered a small race where WRITE SAME requests issued simultaneously would cause -EIO to be returned. This happened because any requests being prepared after WRITE SAME had been disabled for the device caused us to return BLKPREP_KILL. The latter caused the block layer to return -EIO upon completion. To overcome this we introduce BLKPREP_INVALID which indicates that this is an invalid request for the device. blk_peek_request() is modified to return -EREMOTEIO in that case.

2016-01-15mm, dax, pmem: introduce pfn_tDan Williams
For the purpose of communicating the optional presence of a 'struct page' for the pfn returned from ->direct_access(), introduce a type that encapsulates a page-frame-number plus flags. These flags contain the historical "page_link" encoding for a scatterlist entry, but can also denote "device memory". Where "device memory" is a set of pfns that are not part of the kernel's linear mapping by default, but are accessed via the same memory controller as ram. The motivation for this new type is large capacity persistent memory that needs struct page entries in the 'memmap' to support 3rd party DMA (i.e. O_DIRECT I/O with a persistent memory source/target). However, we also need it in support of maintaining a list of mapped inodes which need to be unmapped at driver teardown or freeze_bdev() time.

The DAX implementation needs to protect new calls to ->direct_access() and usage of its return value against the driver for the underlying block device being disabled. Use blk_queue_enter()/blk_queue_exit() to hold off blk_cleanup_queue() from proceeding, or otherwise fail new mapping requests if the request_queue is being torn down. This also introduces blk_dax_ctl to simplify the interface from fs/dax.c through dax_map_atomic() to bdev_direct_access().

2015-12-22block: defer timeouts to a workqueueChristoph Hellwig
Timer context is not very useful for drivers to perform any meaningful abort action from. So instead of calling the driver from this useless context defer it to a workqueue as soon as possible. Note that while a delayed_work item would seem the right thing here I didn't dare to use it due to the magic in blk_add_timer that pokes deep into timer internals. But maybe this encourages Tejun to add a sensible API for that to the workqueue API and we'll all be fine in the end :) Contains a major update from Keith Bush: "This patch removes synchronizing the timeout work so that the timer can start a freeze on its own queue. The timer enters the queue, so timer context can only start a freeze, but not wait for frozen."

When a cloned request is retried on other queues it always needs to be checked against the queue limits of that queue. Otherwise the calculations for nr_phys_segments might be wrong, leading to a crash in scsi_init_sgtable(). To clarify this the patch renames blk_rq_check_limits() to blk_cloned_rq_check_limits() and removes the symbol export, as the new function should only be used for cloned requests and never exported.

2015-11-25block/sd: Fix device-imposed transfer length limitsMartin K. Petersen
Commit 4f258a46346c ("sd: Fix maximum I/O size for BLOCK_PC requests") had the unfortunate side-effect of removing an implicit clamp to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS for REQ_TYPE_FS requests in the block layer code. This caused problems for some SMR drives. Debugging this issue revealed a few problems with the existing infrastructure since the block layer didn't know how to deal with device-imposed limits, only limits set by the I/O controller. - Introduce a new queue limit, max_dev_sectors, which is used by the ULD to signal the maximum sectors for a REQ_TYPE_FS request. - Ensure that max_dev_sectors is correctly stacked and taken into account when overriding max_sectors through sysfs. - Rework sd_read_block_limits() so it saves the max_xfer and opt_xfer values for later processing. - In sd_revalidate() set the queue's max_dev_sectors based on the MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH value in the Block Limits VPD. If this value is not reported, fall back to a cap based on the CDB TRANSFER LENGTH field size. - In sd_revalidate(), use OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH from the Block Limits VPD--if reported and sane--to signal the preferred device transfer size for FS requests. Otherwise use BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. - blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() is no longer used and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2015-10-21block: generic request_queue reference countingDan Williams
Allow pmem, and other synchronous/bio-based block drivers, to fallback on a per-cpu reference count managed by the core for tracking queue live/dead state. The existing per-cpu reference count for the blk_mq case is promoted to be used in all block i/o scenarios. This involves initializing it by default, waiting for it to drop to zero at exit, and holding a live reference over the invocation of q->make_request_fn() in generic_make_request(). The blk_mq code continues to take its own reference per blk_mq request and retains the ability to freeze the queue, but the check that the queue is frozen is moved to generic_make_request().

2015-10-21block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendiskMartin K. Petersen
Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active. This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles. Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several changes: - Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h. - Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk. - Removing the dynamic allocation code. - Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted. - Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable pages bdi setting. - The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or not now key off of the bi->profile pointer. - Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

2015-09-29blk-mq: fix sysfs registration/unregistration raceAkinobu Mita
There is a race between cpu hotplug handling and adding/deleting gendisk for blk-mq, where both are trying to register and unregister the same sysfs entries. null_add_dev --> blk_mq_init_queue --> blk_mq_init_allocated_queue --> add to 'all_q_list' (*) --> add_disk --> blk_register_queue --> blk_mq_register_disk (++) null_del_dev --> del_gendisk --> blk_unregister_queue --> blk_mq_unregister_disk (--) --> blk_cleanup_queue --> blk_mq_free_queue --> del from 'all_q_list' (*) blk_mq_queue_reinit --> blk_mq_sysfs_unregister (-) --> blk_mq_sysfs_register (+) While the request queue is added to 'all_q_list' (*), blk_mq_queue_reinit() can be called for the queue anytime by CPU hotplug callback. But blk_mq_sysfs_unregister (-) and blk_mq_sysfs_register (+) in blk_mq_queue_reinit must not be called before blk_mq_register_disk (++) and after blk_mq_unregister_disk (--) is finished. Because '/sys/block/*/mq/' is not exists. There has already been BLK_MQ_F_SYSFS_UP flag in hctx->flags which can be used to track these sysfs stuff, but it is only fixing this issue partially. In order to fix it completely, we just need per-queue flag instead of per-hctx flag with appropriate locking. So this introduces q->mq_sysfs_init_done which is properly protected with all_q_mutex. Also, we need to ensure that blk_mq_map_swqueue() is called with all_q_mutex is held. Since hctx->nr_ctx is reset temporarily and updated in blk_mq_map_swqueue(), so we should avoid blk_mq_register_hctx() seeing the temporary hctx->nr_ctx value in CPU hotplug handling or adding/deleting gendisk .

Now, the gcc warning is silly and stupid (it seems to warn not about the switch value having a different type from the case statements, but about _any_ boolean switch value), but in this case the code itself is silly and stupid too, so let's just change it, and get rid of warnings like this: drivers/block/hd.c: In function ‘hd_request’: drivers/block/hd.c:630:11: warning: switch condition has boolean value [-Wswitch-bool] switch (rq_data_dir(req)) { The odd '!= 0' came in when "cmd_flags" got turned into a "u64" in commit 5953316dbf90 ("block: make rq->cmd_flags be 64-bit") and is presumably because the old code (that just did a logical 'and' with 1) would then end up making the type of rq_data_dir() be u64 too. But if we want to retain the old regular integer type, let's just cast the result to 'int' rather than use that rather odd '!= 0'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams: "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has appeared in a linux-next release. The changes outside of the typical drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages(). Summary: - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the kernel's direct map. This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will arrive in a later kernel. - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3. Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4. - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping. - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as cacheable to improve performance. - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal 'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor fixes" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (34 commits) libnvdimm, pmem: direct map legacy pmem by default libnvdimm, pmem: 'struct page' for pmem libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure x86, pmem: clarify that ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API implies PMEM mapped WB add devm_memremap_pages mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory" mm: move __phys_to_pfn and __pfn_to_phys to asm/generic/memory_model.h dax: drop size parameter to ->direct_access() nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB nvdimm: change to use generic kvfree() pmem, dax: have direct_access use __pmem annotation dax: update I/O path to do proper PMEM flushing pmem: add copy_from_iter_pmem() and clear_pmem() pmem, x86: clean up conditional pmem includes pmem: remove layer when calling arch_has_wmb_pmem() pmem, x86: move x86 PMEM API to new pmem.h header libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option pmem: switch to devm_ allocations devres: add devm_memremap libnvdimm, btt: write and validate parent_uuid ...

This reverts commit 34b48db66e08ca1c1bc07cf305d672ac940268dc. That commit caused performance regressions for streaming I/O workloads on a number of different storage devices, from SATA disks to external RAID arrays. It also managed to trip up some buggy firmware in at least one drive, causing data corruption. The next patch will bump the default max_sectors_kb value to 1280, which will accommodate a 10-data-disk stripe write with chunk size 128k. In the testing I've done using iozone, fio, and aio-stress, a value of 1280 does not show a big performance difference from 512.

2015-08-13block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized biosKent Overstreet
The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page()) checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create bios that don't need to be split. But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the (potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code. We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing affecting segment merging. Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are: * nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c) * axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c) * simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c) * brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c) * mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c) * loop_make_request * null_queue_bio * bcache's make_request fns Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left for future patches.

Because bdi used to be able to handle congestion state only on the root wb, the callers of those functions tested whether the congestion is on the root blkcg and skipped if not. This is cumbersome and makes implementation of per cgroup bdi_writeback congestion state propagation difficult. This patch renames blk_{set|clear}_queue_congested() to blk_{set|clear}_congested(), and makes them take request_list instead of request_queue and test whether the specified request_list is the root one before updating bdi_writeback congestion state. This makes the tests in the callers unnecessary and simplifies them. As there are no external users of these functions, the definitions are moved from include/linux/blkdev.h to block/blk-core.c.

Currently dm-multipath has to clone the bios for every request sent to the lower devices, which wastes cpu cycles and ties down memory. This patch instead adds a new REQ_CLONE flag that instructs req_bio_endio to not complete bios attached to a request, which we set on clone requests similar to bios in a flush sequence. With this change I/O errors on a path failure only get propagated to dm-multipath, which can then either resubmit the I/O or complete the bios on the original request.
