block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages

2010-04-05T21:03:24+00:00

Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

block: bdev_stack_limits wrapper

2010-01-25T18:49:40+00:00

commit 17be8c245054b9c7786545af3ba3ca4e54cd4ad9 upstream.

DM does not want to know about partition offsets.  Add a partition-aware
wrapper that DM can use when stacking block devices.

block: Fix incorrect reporting of partition alignment

2010-01-22T23:18:07+00:00

commit 81744ee44ab2845c16ffd7d6f762f7b4a49a4750 upstream

queue_sector_alignment_offset returned the wrong value which caused
partitions to report an incorrect alignment_offset. Since offset
calculation is needed several places it has been split into a separate
helper function.

block: get rid of kblock_schedule_delayed_work()

2009-10-05T09:03:58+00:00

It was briefly introduced to allow CFQ to to delayed scheduling,
but we ended up removing that feature again. So lets kill the
function and export, and just switch CFQ back to the normal work
schedule since it is now passing in a '0' delay from all call
sites.

block: Topology ioctls

2009-10-03T18:52:01+00:00

Not all users of the topology information want to use libblkid.  Provide
the topology information through bdev ioctls.

Also clarify sector size comments for existing BLK ioctls.

cfq-iosched: implement slower async initiate and queue ramp up

2009-10-03T14:27:13+00:00

This slowly ramps up the async queue depth based on the time
passed since the sync IO, and doesn't allow async at all until
a sync slice period has passed.

block: allow large discard requests

2009-10-01T19:19:34+00:00

Currently we set the bio size to the byte equivalent of the blocks to
be trimmed when submitting the initial DISCARD ioctl.  That means it
is subject to the max_hw_sectors limitation of the HBA which is
much lower than the size of a DISCARD request we can support.
Add a separate max_discard_sectors tunable to limit the size for discard
requests.

We limit the max discard request size in bytes to 32bit as that is the
limit for bio->bi_size.  This could be much larger if we had a way to pass
that information through the block layer.

block: use normal I/O path for discard requests

2009-10-01T19:19:30+00:00

prepare_discard_fn() was being called in a place where memory allocation
was effectively impossible.  This makes it inappropriate for all but
the most trivial translations of Linux's DISCARD operation to the block
command set.  Additionally adding a payload there makes the ownership
of the bio backing unclear as it's now allocated by the device driver
and not the submitter as usual.

It is replaced with QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD which is used to indicate whether
the queue supports discard operations or not.  blkdev_issue_discard now
allocates a one-page, sector-length payload which is the right thing
for the common ATA and SCSI implementations.

The mtd implementation of prepare_discard_fn() is replaced with simply
checking for the request being a discard.

Largely based on a previous patch from Matthew Wilcox 
which did the prepare_discard_fn but not the different payload allocation
yet.

block: use blkdev_issue_discard in blk_ioctl_discard

2009-09-14T06:24:53+00:00

blk_ioctl_discard duplicates large amounts of code from blkdev_issue_discard,
the only difference between the two is that blkdev_issue_discard needs to
send a barrier discard request and blk_ioctl_discard a non-barrier one,
and blk_ioctl_discard needs to wait on the request.  To facilitates this
add a flags argument to blkdev_issue_discard to control both aspects of the
behaviour.  This will be very useful later on for using the waiting
funcitonality for other callers.

Based on an earlier patch from Matthew Wilcox .

block: Optimal I/O limit wrapper

2009-09-14T06:24:52+00:00

Implement blk_limits_io_opt() and make blk_queue_io_opt() a wrapper
around it. DM needs this to avoid poking at the queue_limits directly.
