2020-03-27block: simplify queue allocationChristoph Hellwig
Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request helper. Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask parameter. A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2020-03-17block: keep bdi->io_pages in sync with max_sectors_kb for stacked devicesKonstantin Khlebnikov
Field bdi->io_pages added in commit 9491ae4aade6 ("mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead setting") removes unneeded split of read requests. Stacked drivers do not call blk_queue_max_hw_sectors(). Instead they set limits of their devices by blk_set_stacking_limits() + disk_stack_limits(). Field bio->io_pages stays zero until user set max_sectors_kb via sysfs. This patch updates io_pages after merging limits in disk_stack_limits(). Commit c6d6e9b0f6b4 ("dm: do not allow readahead to limit IO size") fixed the same problem for device-mapper devices, this one fixes MD RAIDs.

2020-01-15block: fix an integer overflow in logical block sizeMikulas Patocka
Logical block size has type unsigned short. That means that it can be at most 32768. However, there are architectures that can run with 64k pages (for example arm64) and on these architectures, it may be possible to create block devices with 64k block size. For exmaple (run this on an architecture with 64k pages): Mount will fail with this error because it tries to read the superblock using 2-sector access: device-mapper: writecache: I/O is not aligned, sector 2, size 1024, block size 65536 EXT4-fs (dm-0): unable to read superblock This patch changes the logical block size from unsigned short to unsigned int to avoid the overflow.

2019-09-05block: Introduce elevator featuresDamien Le Moal
Introduce the definition of elevator features through the elevator_features flags in the elevator_type structure. Each flag can represent a feature supported by an elevator. The first feature defined by this patch is support for zoned block device sequential write constraint with the flag ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE, which is implemented by the mq-deadline elevator using zone write locking. Other possible features are IO priorities, write hints, latency targets or single-LUN dual-actuator disks (for which the elevator could maintain one LBA ordered list per actuator). The required_elevator_features field is also added to the request_queue structure to allow a device driver to specify elevator feature flags that an elevator must support for the correct operation of the device (e.g. device drivers for zoned block devices can have the ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE flag as a required feature). The helper function blk_queue_required_elevator_features() is defined for setting this new field. With these two new fields in place, the elevator functions elevator_match() and elevator_find() are modified to allow a user to set only an elevator with a set of features that satisfies the device required features. Elevators not matching the device requirements are not shown in the device sysfs queue/scheduler file to prevent their use. The "none" elevator can always be selected as before.

2016-12-12mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead settingJens Axboe
We ran into a funky issue, where someone doing 256K buffered reads saw 128K requests at the device level. Turns out it is read-ahead capping the request size, since we use 128K as the default setting. This doesn't make a lot of sense - if someone is issuing 256K reads, they should see 256K reads, regardless of the read-ahead setting, if the underlying device can support a 256K read in a single command. This patch introduces a bdi hint, io_pages. This is the soft max IO size for the lower level, I've hooked it up to the bdev settings here. Read-ahead is modified to issue the maximum of the user request size, and the read-ahead max size, but capped to the max request size on the device side. The latter is done to avoid reading ahead too much, if the application asks for a huge read. With this patch, the kernel behaves like the application expects.

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.

2016-11-10block: 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>
2016-11-05block: add code to track actual device queue depthJens Axboe
For blk-mq, ->nr_requests does track queue depth, at least at init time. But for the older queue paths, it's simply a soft setting. On top of that, it's generally larger than the hardware setting on purpose, to allow backup of requests for merging. Fill a hole in struct request with a 'queue_depth' member, that drivers can call to more closely inform the block layer of the real queue depth.

2016-10-18block: Add 'zoned' queue limitDamien Le Moal
Add the zoned queue limit to indicate the zoning model of a block device. Defined values are 0 (BLK_ZONED_NONE) for regular block devices, 1 (BLK_ZONED_HA) for host-aware zone block devices and 2 (BLK_ZONED_HM) for host-managed zone block devices. The standards defined drive managed model is not defined here since these block devices do not provide any command for accessing zone information. Drive managed model devices will be reported as BLK_ZONED_NONE. The helper functions blk_queue_zoned_model and bdev_zoned_model return the zoned limit and the functions blk_queue_is_zoned and bdev_is_zoned return a boolean for callers to test if a block device is zoned. The zoned attribute is also exported as a string to applications via sysfs. BLK_ZONED_NONE shows as "none", BLK_ZONED_HA as "host-aware" and BLK_ZONED_HM as "host-managed".

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.

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.

The SG_GAPS queue flag caused checks for bio vector alignment against PAGE_SIZE, but the device may have different constraints. This patch adds a queue limits so a driver with such constraints can set to allow requests that would have been unnecessarily split. The new gaps check takes the request_queue as a parameter to simplify the logic around invoking this function. This new limit makes the queue flag redundant, so removing it and all usage.

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. This will hopefully still help the software RAID setup that Christoph saw the original performance gains with while still not regressing other storage configurations.
