blk-mq-sched: fix crash in switch error path

2017-04-07T14:56:48+00:00

In elevator_switch(), if blk_mq_init_sched() fails, we attempt to fall
back to the original scheduler. However, at this point, we've already
torn down the original scheduler's tags, so this causes a crash. Doing
the fallback like the legacy elevator path is much harder for mq, so fix
it by just falling back to none, instead.

block: don't call ioc_exit_icq() with the queue lock held for blk-mq

2017-03-02T20:59:08+00:00

For legacy scheduling, we always call ioc_exit_icq() with both the
ioc and queue lock held. This poses a problem for blk-mq with
scheduling, since the queue lock isn't what we use in the scheduler.
And since we don't need the queue lock held for ioc exit there,
don't grab it and leave any extra locking up to the blk-mq scheduler.

block: do not allow updates through sysfs until registration completes

2017-02-15T15:40:04+00:00

When a new disk shows up, sysfs queue directory is created before elevator
is registered. This allows a user to attempt a scheduler switch even though
the initial registration hasn't completed yet.

In one scenario, blk_register_queue() calls elv_register_queue() and
right before cfq_registered_queue() is called, another process executes
elevator_switch() and replaces q->elevator with deadline scheduler. When
cfq_registered_queue() executes it interprets e->elevator_data as struct
cfq_data even though it is actually struct deadline_data.

Grab q->sysfs_lock in blk_register_queue() to synchronize with sysfs
callers.

block: optionally merge discontiguous discard bios into a single request

2017-02-08T20:43:08+00:00

Add a new merge strategy that merges discard bios into a request until the
maximum number of discard ranges (or the maximum discard size) is reached
from the plug merging code.  I/O scheduler merging is not wired up yet
but might also be useful, although not for fast devices like NVMe which
are the only user for now.

Note that for now we don't support limiting the size of each discard range,
but if needed that can be added later.

blk-mq-sched: (un)register elevator when (un)registering queue

2017-02-06T20:55:36+00:00

I noticed that when booting with a default blk-mq I/O scheduler, the
/sys/block/*/queue/iosched directory was missing. However, switching
after boot did create the directory. This is because we skip the initial
elevator register/unregister when we don't have a ->request_fn(), but we
should still do it for the ->mq_ops case.

block: Dynamically allocate and refcount backing_dev_info

2017-02-02T15:20:50+00:00

Instead of storing backing_dev_info inside struct request_queue,
allocate it dynamically, reference count it, and free it when the last
reference is dropped. Currently only request_queue holds the reference
but in the following patch we add other users referencing
backing_dev_info.

block: Use pointer to backing_dev_info from request_queue

2017-02-02T15:20:48+00:00

We will want to have struct backing_dev_info allocated separately from
struct request_queue. As the first step add pointer to backing_dev_info
to request_queue and convert all users touching it. No functional
changes in this patch.

block: allow specifying size for extra command data

2017-01-27T22:08:35+00:00

This mirrors the blk-mq capabilities to allocate extra drivers-specific
data behind struct request by setting a cmd_size field, as well as having
a constructor / destructor for it.

Merge branch 'for-4.10/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2016-12-13T18:19:16+00:00

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main block pull request this series. Contrary to previous
  release, I've kept the core and driver changes in the same branch. We
  always ended up having dependencies between the two for obvious
  reasons, so makes more sense to keep them together. That said, I'll
  probably try and keep more topical branches going forward, especially
  for cycles that end up being as busy as this one.

  The major parts of this pull request is:

   - Improved support for O_DIRECT on block devices, with a small
     private implementation instead of using the pig that is
     fs/direct-io.c. From Christoph.

   - Request completion tracking in a scalable fashion. This is utilized
     by two components in this pull, the new hybrid polling and the
     writeback queue throttling code.

   - Improved support for polling with O_DIRECT, adding a hybrid mode
     that combines pure polling with an initial sleep. From me.

   - Support for automatic throttling of writeback queues on the block
     side. This uses feedback from the device completion latencies to
     scale the queue on the block side up or down. From me.

   - Support from SMR drives in the block layer and for SD. From Hannes
     and Shaun.

   - Multi-connection support for nbd. From Josef.

   - Cleanup of request and bio flags, so we have a clear split between
     which are bio (or rq) private, and which ones are shared. From
     Christoph.

   - A set of patches from Bart, that improve how we handle queue
     stopping and starting in blk-mq.

   - Support for WRITE_ZEROES from Chaitanya.

   - Lightnvm updates from Javier/Matias.

   - Supoort for FC for the nvme-over-fabrics code. From James Smart.

   - A bunch of fixes from a whole slew of people, too many to name
     here"
