2017-04-20blk-mq: remove the error argument to blk_mq_complete_requestChristoph Hellwig

2017-03-30null_blk: add blocking modeJens Axboe
This adds a new module parameter to null_blk, blocking. If set, null_blk will set the BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING flag, indicating that it sometimes/always needs to block in its ->queue_rq() function. The intent is to help find regressions in blocking drivers, since not many of them exist.

2017-01-31block: fold cmd_type into the REQ_OP_ spaceChristoph Hellwig
Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it all into the operations. The little caveat here is that previously cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough operations. Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

2017-01-31lightnvm: use end_io callback instead of instanceMatias Bjørling
When the lightnvm core had the "gennvm" layer between the device and the target, there was a need for the core to be able to figure out which target it should send an end_io callback to. Leading to a "double" end_io, first for the media manager instance, and then for the target instance. Now that core and gennvm is merged, there is no longer a need for this, and a single end_io callback will do.

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.

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.

end_cmd finishes request associated with nullb_cmd struct, so we should save pointer to request_queue in a local variable before calling end_cmd.

2015-06-01null_blk: restart request processing on completion handlerAkinobu Mita
When irqmode=2 (IRQ completion handler is timer) and queue_mode=1 (Block interface to use is rq), the completion handler should restart request handling for any pending requests on a queue because request processing stops when the number of commands are queued more than hw_queue_depth (null_rq_prep_fn returns BLKPREP_DEFER). Without this change, the following command cannot finish. # modprobe null_blk irqmode=2 queue_mode=1 hw_queue_depth=1 # fio --name=t --rw=read --size=1g --direct=1 \ --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --filename=/dev/nullb0 Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita <akinobu.mita@gmail.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
2015-06-01null_blk: prevent timer handler running on a different CPU where startedAkinobu Mita
When irqmode=2 (IRQ completion handler is timer), timer handler should be called on the same CPU where the timer has been started. Since completion_queues are per-cpu and the completion handler only touches completion_queue for local CPU, we need to prevent the handler from running on a different CPU where the timer has been started. Otherwise, the IO cannot be completed until another completion handler is executed on that CPU.

2015-05-28kernel/params: constify struct kernel_param_ops usesLuis R. Rodriguez
Most code already uses consts for the struct kernel_param_ops, sweep the kernel for the last offending stragglers. Other than include/linux/moduleparam.h and kernel/params.c all other changes were generated with the following Coccinelle SmPL patch. Merge conflicts between trees can be handled with Coccinelle. In the future git could get Coccinelle merge support to deal with patch --> fail --> grammar --> Coccinelle --> new patch conflicts automatically for us on patches where the grammar is available and the patch is of high confidence. Consider this a feature request.

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>
