git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata Pull libata updates from Tejun Heo: - Adam added opt-in ATA command priority support. - There are machines which hide multiple nvme devices behind an ahci BAR. Dan Williams proposed a solution to force-switch the mode but deemed too hackishd. People are gonna discuss the proper way to handle the situation in nvme standard meetings. For now, detect and warn about the situation. - Low level driver specific changes. Christoph Hellwig pipes in about the hidden nvme warning: "I wish that was the case. We've pretty much agreed that we'll want to implement it as a virtual PCIe root bridge, similar to Intels other 'innovation' VMD that we work around that way. But Intel management has apparently decided that they don't want to spend more cycles on this now that Lenovo has an optional BIOS that doesn't force this broken mode anymore, and no one outside of Intel has enough information to implement something like this. So for now I guess this warning is it, until Intel reconsideres and spends resources on fixing up the damage their Chipset people caused" * 'for-4.10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata: ahci: warn about remapped NVMe devices ahci-remap.h: add ahci remapping definitions nvme: move NVMe class code to pci_ids.h pata: imx: support controller modes up to PIO4 pata: imx: add support of setting timings for PIO modes pata: imx: set controller PIO mode with .set_piomode callback pata: imx: sort headers out ata: set ncq_prio_enabled iff device has support ata: ATA Command Priority Disabled By Default ata: Enabling ATA Command Priorities block: Add iocontext priority to request ahci: qoriq: added ls1046a platform support
2016-12-09block: improve handling of the magic discard payloadChristoph Hellwig
Instead of allocating a single unused biovec for discard requests, send them down without any payload. Instead we allow the driver to add a "special" payload using a biovec embedded into struct request (unioned over other fields never used while in the driver), and overloading the number of segments for this case. This has a couple of advantages: - we don't have to allocate the bio_vec - the amount of special casing for discard requests in the block layer is significantly reduced - using this same scheme for other request types is trivial, which will be important for implementing the new WRITE_ZEROES op on devices where it actually requires a payload (e.g. SCSI) - we can get rid of playing games with the request length, as we'll never touch it and completions will work just fine - it will allow us to support ranged discard operations in the future by merging non-contiguous discard bios into a single request - last but not least it removes a lot of code This patch is the common base for my WIP series for ranges discards and to remove discard_zeroes_data in favor of always using REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES, so it would be good to get it in quickly.

2016-12-05block: fix unintended fallthrough in generic_make_request_checks()Nicolai Stange
Since commit e73c23ff736e ("block: add async variant of blkdev_issue_zeroout") messages like the following show up: EXT4-fs (dm-1): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 2368848 at logical offset 0 with max blocks 1 with error 95 EXT4-fs (dm-1): This should not happen!! Data will be lost Due to the following fallthrough introduced with commit 2d253440b5af ("block: Define zoned block device operations"), generic_make_request_checks() would accept a REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME bio only if the block device supports "write same" *and* is a zoned one: switch (bio_op(bio)) { [...] case REQ_OP_WRITE_SAME: if (!bdev_write_same(bio->bi_bdev)) goto not_supported; case REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT: case REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET: if (!bdev_is_zoned(bio->bi_bdev)) goto not_supported; break; [...] } Thus, although the bio setup as done by __blkdev_issue_write_same() from commit e73c23ff736e ("block: add async variant of blkdev_issue_zeroout") would succeed, its actual submission would not, resulting in the EOPNOTSUPP == 95. Fix this by removing the fallthrough which, due to the lack of an explicit comment, seems to be unintended anyway.

2016-12-01block: add support for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROESChaitanya Kulkarni
This adds a new block layer operation to zero out a range of LBAs. This allows to implement zeroing for devices that don't use either discard with a predictable zero pattern or WRITE SAME of zeroes. The prominent example of that is NVMe with the Write Zeroes command, but in the future, this should also help with improving the way zeroing discards work. For this operation, suitable entry is exported in sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one write zeroes operation by the device.

2016-11-21block: apply blk_partition_remap to REQ_OP_ZONE_RESETShaun Tancheff
If a ZBC device is partitioned and operations are performed on the partition the zone information is rebased to the partition, however the zone reset is not mapped from the partition to device as are other operations. This causes the API (report zones / reset zone) to be unbalanced in this regard. Checking for the zone reset op code explicitly will balance the API.

2016-11-16block: deal with stale req count of plug listMing Lei
In both legacy and mq path, req count of plug list is computed before allocating request, so the number can be stale when falling back to slept allocation, also the new introduced wbt can sleep too. This patch deals with the case by checking if plug list becomes empty, and fixes the KASAN report of 'BUG: KASAN: stack-out-of-bounds' which is introduced by Shaohua's patches of dispatching big request.

2016-11-10block: hook up writeback throttlingJens Axboe
Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity. Background writeback should be, by definition, background activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads, which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback, unless someone is waiting for it. The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the windows where we get good behavior. Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window. When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's stable state of a zero scale count. The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and 75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting. We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will rely on CFQ doing that for us. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-11-10block: add scalable completion tracking of requestsJens Axboe
For legacy block, we simply track them in the request queue. For blk-mq, we track them on a per-sw queue basis, which we can then sum up through the hardware queues and finally to a per device state. The stats are tracked in, roughly, 0.1s interval windows. Add sysfs files to display the stats. The feature is off by default, to avoid any extra overhead. In-kernel users of it can turn it on by setting QUEUE_FLAG_STATS in the queue flags. We currently don't turn it on if someone just reads any of the stats files, that is something we could add as well. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-11-03block: immediately dispatch big size requestShaohua Li
Currently block plug holds up to 16 non-mergeable requests. This makes sense if the request size is small, eg, reduce lock contention. But if request size is big enough, we don't need to worry about lock contention. Holding such request makes no sense and it lows the disk utilization. In practice, this improves 10% throughput for my raid5 sequential write workload. The size (128k) is arbitrary right now, but it makes sure lock contention is small. This probably could be more intelligent, eg, check average request size holded. Since this is mainly for sequential IO, probably not worthy. V2: check the last request instead of the first request, so as long as there is one big size request we flush the plug.

2016-10-28block: better op and flags encodingChristoph Hellwig
Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and request fields. This in addition allows us to place the operation first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to stop having to shift around the operation values. In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do that later) and thus clean up a lot of code. Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags field in struct request to 32-bits. Various functions passing this value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2016-10-28block: split out request-only flags into a new namespaceChristoph Hellwig
A lot of the REQ_* flags are only used on struct requests, and only of use to the block layer and a few drivers that dig into struct request internals. This patch adds a new req_flags_t rq_flags field to struct request for them, and thus dramatically shrinks the number of common requests. It also removes the unfortunate situation where we have to fit the fields from the same enum into 32 bits for struct bio and 64 bits for struct request.

2016-10-19block: Add iocontext priority to requestAdam Manzanares
Patch adds an association between iocontext ioprio and the ioprio of a request. This is done to enable request based drivers the ability to act on priority information stored in the request. An example being ATA devices that support command priorities. If the ATA driver discovers that the device supports command priorities and the request has valid priority information indicating the request is high priority, then a high priority command can be sent to the device. This should improve tail latencies for high priority IO on any device that queues requests internally and can make use of the priority information stored in the request. The ioprio of the request is set in blk_rq_set_prio which takes the request and the ioc as arguments. If the ioc is valid in blk_rq_set_prio then the iopriority of the request is set as the iopriority of the ioc. In init_request_from_bio a check is made to see if the ioprio of the bio is valid and if so then the request prio comes from the bio.

2016-08-07block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opfJens Axboe
Since commit 63a4cc24867d, bio->bi_rw contains flags in the lower portion and the op code in the higher portions. This means that old code that relies on manually setting bi_rw is most likely going to be broken. Instead of letting that brokeness linger, rename the member, to force old and out-of-tree code to break at compile time instead of at runtime. No intended functional changes in this commit.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-02-22dm: fix excessive dm-mq context switchingMike Snitzer
Request-based DM's blk-mq support (dm-mq) was reported to be 50% slower than if an underlying null_blk device were used directly. One of the reasons for this drop in performance is that blk_insert_clone_request() was calling blk_mq_insert_request() with @async=true. This forced the use of kblockd_schedule_delayed_work_on() to run the blk-mq hw queues which ushered in ping-ponging between process context (fio in this case) and kblockd's kworker to submit the cloned request. The ftrace function_graph tracer showed: kworker-2013 => fio-12190 fio-12190 => kworker-2013 ... kworker-2013 => fio-12190 fio-12190 => kworker-2013 ... Fixing blk_insert_clone_request()'s blk_mq_insert_request() call to _not_ use kblockd to submit the cloned requests isn't enough to eliminate the observed context switches. In addition to this dm-mq specific blk-core fix, there are 2 DM core fixes to dm-mq that (when paired with the blk-core fix) completely eliminate the observed context switching: 1) don't blk_mq_run_hw_queues in blk-mq request completion Motivated by desire to reduce overhead of dm-mq, punting to kblockd just increases context switches. In my testing against a really fast null_blk device there was no benefit to running blk_mq_run_hw_queues() on completion (and no other blk-mq driver does this). So hopefully this change doesn't induce the need for yet another revert like commit 621739b00e16ca2d ! 2) use blk_mq_complete_request() in dm_complete_request() blk_complete_request() doesn't offer the traditional q->mq_ops vs .request_fn branching pattern that other historic block interfaces do (e.g. blk_get_request). Using blk_mq_complete_request() for blk-mq requests is important for performance. It should be noted that, like blk_complete_request(), blk_mq_complete_request() doesn't natively handle partial completions -- but the request-based DM-multipath target does provide the required partial completion support by dm.c:end_clone_bio() triggering requeueing of the request via dm-mpath.c:multipath_end_io()'s return of DM_ENDIO_REQUEUE. dm-mq fix #2 is _much_ more important than #1 for eliminating the context switches. Before: cpu : usr=15.10%, sys=59.39%, ctx=7905181, majf=0, minf=475 After: cpu : usr=20.60%, sys=79.35%, ctx=2008, majf=0, minf=472 With these changes multithreaded async read IOPs improved from ~950K to ~1350K for this dm-mq stacked on null_blk test-case. The raw read IOPs of the underlying null_blk device for the same workload is ~1950K.

2016-02-19block: Add blk_set_runtime_active()Mika Westerberg
If block device is left runtime suspended during system suspend, resume hook of the driver typically corrects runtime PM status of the device back to "active" after it is resumed. However, this is not enough as queue's runtime PM status is still "suspended". As long as it is in this state blk_pm_peek_request() returns NULL and thus prevents new requests to be processed. Add new function blk_set_runtime_active() that can be used to force the queue status back to "active" as needed.

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.

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."

2015-12-03SCSI: Fix NULL pointer dereference in runtime PMKen Xue
The routines in scsi_pm.c assume that if a runtime-PM callback is invoked for a SCSI device, it can only mean that the device's driver has asked the block layer to handle the runtime power management (by calling blk_pm_runtime_init(), which among other things sets q->dev). However, this assumption turns out to be wrong for things like the ses driver. Normally ses devices are not allowed to do runtime PM, but userspace can override this setting. If this happens, the kernel gets a NULL pointer dereference when blk_post_runtime_resume() tries to use the uninitialized q->dev pointer. This patch fixes the problem by checking q->dev in block layer before handle runtime PM. Since ses doesn't define any PM callbacks and call blk_pm_runtime_init(), the crash won't occur. This fixes Bugzilla #101371. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101371 More discussion can be found from below link. http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=144163730531875&w=2 Signed-off-by: Ken Xue <Ken.Xue@amd.com> Acked-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Cc: Xiangliang Yu <Xiangliang.Yu@amd.com> Cc: James E.J.
