sched/headers: Prepare for the reduction of 's signal API dependency

2017-03-02T07:42:37+00:00

Instead of including the full , we are going to include the
types-only  header in , to further
decouple the scheduler header from the signal headers.

This means that various files which relied on the full  need
to be updated to gain an explicit dependency on it.

Update the code that relies on sched.h's inclusion of the  header.

fs: add i_blocksize()

2017-02-28T02:43:46+00:00

Replace all 1 << inode->i_blkbits and (1 << inode->i_blkbits) in fs
branch.

This patch also fixes multiple checkpatch warnings: WARNING: Prefer
'unsigned int' to bare use of 'unsigned'

Thanks to Andrew Morton for suggesting more appropriate function instead
of macro.

clean_bdev_aliases: Prevent cleaning blocks that are not in block range

2017-01-02T16:35:14+00:00

The first block to be cleaned may start at a non-zero page offset. In
such a scenario clean_bdev_aliases() will end up cleaning blocks that
do not fall in the range of blocks to be cleaned. This commit fixes the
issue by skipping blocks that do not fall in valid block range.

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

2016-12-15T01:09:00+00:00

Pull fs meta data unmap optimization from Jens Axboe:
 "A series from Jan Kara, providing a more efficient way for unmapping
  meta data from in the buffer cache than doing it block-by-block.

  Provide a general helper that existing callers can use"

* 'for-4.10/fs-unmap' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  fs: Remove unmap_underlying_metadata
  fs: Add helper to clean bdev aliases under a bh and use it
  ext2: Use clean_bdev_aliases() instead of iteration
  ext4: Use clean_bdev_aliases() instead of iteration
  direct-io: Use clean_bdev_aliases() instead of handmade iteration
  fs: Provide function to unmap metadata for a range of blocks

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"

fs: Add helper to clean bdev aliases under a bh and use it

2016-11-04T20:34:47+00:00

Add a helper function that clears buffer heads from a block device
aliasing passed bh. Use this helper function from filesystems instead of
the original unmap_underlying_metadata() to save some boiler plate code
and also have a better name for the functionalily since it is not
unmapping anything for a *long* time.

2016-11-04T20:34:47+00:00

Provide function equivalent to unmap_underlying_metadata() for a range
of blocks. We somewhat optimize the function to use pagevec lookups
instead of looking up buffer heads one by one and use page lock to pin
buffer heads instead of mapping's private_lock to improve scalability.

writeback: add wbc_to_write_flags()

2016-11-02T16:24:03+00:00

Add wbc_to_write_flags(), which returns the write modifier flags to use,
based on a struct writeback_control. No functional changes in this
patch, but it prepares us for factoring other wbc fields for write type.
