xen/blkback: Change xen_vbd's flush_support and discard_secure to have type unsigned int, rather than bool

2012-10-30T07:37:20+00:00

Changing the type of bdev parameters to be unsigned int :1, rather than bool.
This is more consistent with the types of other features in the block drivers.

xen/blkback: Copy id field when doing BLKIF_DISCARD.

2012-05-30T21:20:04+00:00

We weren't copying the id field so when we sent the response
back to the frontend (especially with a 64-bit host and 32-bit
guest), we ended up using a random value. This lead to the
frontend crashing as it would try to pass to __blk_end_request_all
a NULL 'struct request' (b/c it would use the 'id' to find the
proper 'struct request' in its shadow array) and end up crashing:

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000e4
IP: [] __blk_end_request_all+0xc/0x40
.. snip..
EIP is at __blk_end_request_all+0xc/0x40
.. snip..
 [] blkif_interrupt+0x172/0x330 [xen_blkfront]

This fixes the bug by passing in the proper id for the response.

xen/blkback: Squash the discard support for 'file' and 'phy' type.

2012-03-24T14:04:35+00:00

The only reason for the distinction was for the special case of
'file' (which is assumed to be loopback device), was to reach inside
the loopback device, find the underlaying file, and call fallocate on it.
Fortunately "xen-blkback: convert hole punching to discard request on
loop devices" removes that use-case and we now based the discard
support based on blk_queue_discard(q) and extract all appropriate
parameters from the 'struct request_queue'.

xen/blk[front|back]: Enhance discard support with secure erasing support.

2011-11-18T18:28:01+00:00

Part of the blkdev_issue_discard(xx) operation is that it can also
issue a secure discard operation that will permanantly remove the
sectors in question. We advertise that we can support that via the
'discard-secure' attribute and on the request, if the 'secure' bit
is set, we will attempt to pass in REQ_DISCARD | REQ_SECURE.

CC: Li Dongyang 
[v1: Used 'flag' instead of 'secure:1' bit]
[v2: Use 'reserved' uint8_t instead of adding a new value]
[v3: Check for nseg when mapping instead of operation]

xen/blk[front|back]: Squash blkif_request_rw and blkif_request_discard together

2011-11-18T18:27:59+00:00

In a union type structure to deal with the overlapping
attributes in a easier manner.

xen/blkback: Support 'feature-barrier' aka old-style BARRIER requests.

2011-10-13T13:48:36+00:00

We emulate the barrier requests by draining the outstanding bio's
and then sending the WRITE_FLUSH command. To drain the I/Os
we use the refcnt that is used during disconnect to wait for all
the I/Os before disconnecting from the frontend. We latch on its
value and if it reaches either the threshold for disconnect or when
there are no more outstanding I/Os, then we have drained all I/Os.
