block: switch bios to blk_status_t

2017-06-09T15:27:32+00:00

Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion.
Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which
we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a
proper blk_status_t value.

dm: change ->end_io calling convention

2017-06-09T15:27:32+00:00

Turn the error paramter into a pointer so that target drivers can change
the value, and make sure only DM_ENDIO_* values are returned from the
methods.

dm: don't return errnos from ->map

2017-06-09T15:27:32+00:00

Instead use the special DM_MAPIO_KILL return value to return -EIO just
like we do for the request based path.  Note that dm-log-writes returned
-ENOMEM in a few places, which now becomes -EIO instead.  No consumer
treats -ENOMEM special so this shouldn't be an issue (and it should
use a mempool to start with to make guaranteed progress).

Merge branch 'for-4.9/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2016-10-07T21:42:05+00:00

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the main pull request for block layer changes in 4.9.

  As mentioned at the last merge window, I've changed things up and now
  do just one branch for core block layer changes, and driver changes.
  This avoids dependencies between the two branches. Outside of this
  main pull request, there are two topical branches coming as well.

  This pull request contains:

   - A set of fixes, and a conversion to blk-mq, of nbd. From Josef.

   - Set of fixes and updates for lightnvm from Matias, Simon, and Arnd.
     Followup dependency fix from Geert.

   - General fixes from Bart, Baoyou, Guoqing, and Linus W.

   - CFQ async write starvation fix from Glauber.

   - Add supprot for delayed kick of the requeue list, from Mike.

   - Pull out the scalable bitmap code from blk-mq-tag.c and make it
     generally available under the name of sbitmap. Only blk-mq-tag uses
     it for now, but the blk-mq scheduling bits will use it as well.
     From Omar.

   - bdev thaw error progagation from Pierre.

   - Improve the blk polling statistics, and allow the user to clear
     them. From Stephen.

   - Set of minor cleanups from Christoph in block/blk-mq.

   - Set of cleanups and optimizations from me for block/blk-mq.

   - Various nvme/nvmet/nvmeof fixes from the various folks"

* 'for-4.9/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (54 commits)

  ...

block: export bio_free_pages to other modules

2016-09-22T13:48:03+00:00

bio_free_pages is introduced in commit 1dfa0f68c040
("block: add a helper to free bio bounce buffer pages"),
we can reuse the func in other modules after it was
imported.

dm log writes: fix check of kthread_run() return value

2016-08-30T23:41:43+00:00

The kthread_run() function returns either a valid task_struct or
ERR_PTR() value, check for NULL is invalid.  This change fixes potential
for oops, e.g. in OOM situation.

dm log writes: fix bug with too large bios

2016-08-30T20:20:55+00:00

bio_alloc() can allocate a bio with at most BIO_MAX_PAGES (256) vector
entries.  However, the incoming bio may have more vector entries if it
was allocated by other means.  For example, bcache submits bios with
more than BIO_MAX_PAGES entries.  This results in bio_alloc() failure.

To avoid the failure, change the code so that it allocates bio with at
most BIO_MAX_PAGES entries.  If the incoming bio has more entries,
bio_add_page() will fail and a new bio will be allocated - the code that
handles bio_add_page() failure already exists in the dm-log-writes
target.

dm log writes: move IO accounting earlier to fix error path

2016-08-30T20:16:49+00:00

Move log_one_block()'s atomic_inc(&lc->io_blocks) before bio_alloc() to
fix a bug that the target hangs if bio_alloc() fails.  The error path
does put_io_block(lc), so atomic_inc(&lc->io_blocks) must occur before
invoking the error path to avoid underflow of lc->io_blocks.

block: rename bio bi_rw to bi_opf

2016-08-07T20:41:02+00:00

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.

block, drivers, fs: rename REQ_FLUSH to REQ_PREFLUSH

2016-06-07T19:41:38+00:00

To avoid confusion between REQ_OP_FLUSH, which is handled by
request_fn drivers, and upper layers requesting the block layer
perform a flush sequence along with possibly a WRITE, this patch
renames REQ_FLUSH to REQ_PREFLUSH.
