2014-05-30block: virtio_blk: don't hold spin lock during world switchMing Lei
Firstly, it isn't necessary to hold lock of vblk->vq_lock when notifying hypervisor about queued I/O. Secondly, virtqueue_notify() will cause world switch and it may take long time on some hypervisors(such as, qemu-arm), so it isn't good to hold the lock and block other vCPUs. On arm64 quad core VM(qemu-kvm), the patch can increase I/O performance a lot with VIRTIO_RING_F_EVENT_IDX enabled: - without the patch: 14K IOPS - with the patch: 34K IOPS fio script: [global] direct=1 bsrange=4k-4k timeout=10 numjobs=4 ioengine=libaio iodepth=64 filename=/dev/vdc group_reporting=1 [f1] rw=randread Cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: "Michael S.

2014-05-16virtio_blk: fix race between start and stop queueMing Lei
When there isn't enough vring descriptor for adding to vq, blk-mq will be put as stopped state until some of pending descriptors are completed & freed. Unfortunately, the vq's interrupt may come just before blk-mq's BLK_MQ_S_STOPPED flag is set, so the blk-mq will still be kept as stopped even though lots of descriptors are completed and freed in the interrupt handler. The worst case is that all pending descriptors are freed in the interrupt handler, and the queue is kept as stopped forever. This patch fixes the problem by starting/stopping blk-mq with holding vq_lock.

2014-04-15blk-mq: add ->init_request and ->exit_request methodsChristoph Hellwig
The current blk_mq_init_commands/blk_mq_free_commands interface has a two problems: 1) Because only the constructor is passed to blk_mq_init_commands there is no easy way to clean up when a comman initialization failed. The current code simply leaks the allocations done in the constructor. 2) There is no good place to call blk_mq_free_commands: before blk_cleanup_queue there is no guarantee that all outstanding commands have completed, so we can't free them yet. After blk_cleanup_queue the queue has usually been freed. This can be worked around by grabbing an unconditional reference before calling blk_cleanup_queue and dropping it after blk_mq_free_commands is done, although that's not exatly pretty and driver writers are guaranteed to get it wrong sooner or later. Both issues are easily fixed by making the request constructor and destructor normal blk_mq_ops methods. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

2014-03-24virtio-blk: base queue-depth on virtqueue ringsize or module paramRusty Russell
Venkatash spake thus: virtio-blk set the default queue depth to 64 requests, which was insufficient for high-IOPS devices. Instead set the blk-queue depth to the device's virtqueue depth divided by two (each I/O requires at least two VQ entries). But behold, Ted added a module parameter: Also allow the queue depth to be something which can be set at module load time or via a kernel boot-time parameter, for testing/benchmarking purposes. And I rewrote it substantially, mainly to take VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC into account. As QEMU sets the vq size for PCI to 128, Venkatash's patch wouldn't have made a change. This version does (since QEMU also offers VIRTIO_RING_F_INDIRECT_DESC.

2013-01-02virtio-blk: Don't free ida when disk is in useAlexander Graf
When a file system is mounted on a virtio-blk disk, we then remove it and then reattach it, the reattached disk gets the same disk name and ids as the hot removed one. This leads to very nasty effects - mostly rendering the newly attached device completely unusable. Trying what happens when I do the same thing with a USB device, I saw that the sd node simply doesn't get free'd when a device gets forcefully removed. Imitate the same behavior for vd devices. This way broken vd devices simply are never free'd and newly attached ones keep working just fine.

2012-09-28virtio-blk: Add bio-based IO path for virtio-blkAsias He
This patch introduces bio-based IO path for virtio-blk. Compared to request-based IO path, bio-based IO path uses driver provided ->make_request_fn() method to bypasses the IO scheduler. It handles the bio to device directly without allocating a request in block layer. This reduces the IO path in guest kernel to achieve high IOPS and lower latency. The downside is that guest can not use the IO scheduler to merge and sort requests. However, this is not a big problem if the backend disk in host side uses faster disk device. When the bio-based IO path is not enabled, virtio-blk still uses the original request-based IO path, no performance difference is observed. Using a slow device e.g. normal SATA disk, the bio-based IO path for sequential read and write are slower than req-based IO path due to lack of merge in guest kernel.

2012-07-30virtio-blk: allow toggling host cache between writeback and writethroughPaolo Bonzini
This patch adds support for the new VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCE feature, which exposes the cache mode in the configuration space and lets the driver modify it. The cache mode is exposed via sysfs. Even if the host does not support the new feature, the cache mode is visible (thanks to the existing VIRTIO_BLK_F_WCE), but not modifiable.

2012-07-30virtio-blk: Use block layer provided spinlockAsias He
Block layer will allocate a spinlock for the queue if the driver does not provide one in blk_init_queue(). The reason to use the internal spinlock is that blk_cleanup_queue() will switch to use the internal spinlock in the cleanup code path. if (q->queue_lock != &q->__queue_lock) q->queue_lock = &q->__queue_lock; However, processes which are in D state might have taken the driver provided spinlock, when the processes wake up, they would release the block provided spinlock. ===================================== [ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ] 3.4.0-rc7+ #238 Not tainted ------------------------------------- fio/3587 is trying to release lock (&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock) at: [<ffffffff813274d2>] blk_queue_bio+0x2a2/0x380 but there are no more locks to release! other info that might help us debug this: 1 lock held by fio/3587: #0: (&(&vblk->lock)->rlock){......}, at: [<ffffffff8132661a>] get_request_wait+0x19a/0x250 Other drivers use block layer provided spinlock as well, e.g. SCSI.

2012-07-30virtio-blk: Reset device after blk_cleanup_queue()Asias He
blk_cleanup_queue() will call blk_drian_queue() to drain all the requests before queue DEAD marking. If we reset the device before blk_cleanup_queue() the drain would fail. 1) if the queue is stopped in do_virtblk_request() because device is full, the q->request_fn() will not be called. blk_drain_queue() { while(true) { ... if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head)) __blk_run_queue(q) { if (queue is not stoped) q->request_fn() } ... } } Do no reset the device before blk_cleanup_queue() gives the chance to start the queue in interrupt handler blk_done(). 2) In commit b79d866c8b7014a51f611a64c40546109beaf24a, We abort requests dispatched to driver before blk_cleanup_queue(). There is a race if requests are dispatched to driver after the abort and before the queue DEAD mark. To fix this, instead of aborting the requests explicitly, we can just reset the device after after blk_cleanup_queue so that the device can complete all the requests before queue DEAD marking in the drain process.

This fixes another race in hot-unplug process. It is save to call del_gendisk(vblk->disk) before flush_work(&vblk->config_work) which might access vblk->disk, because vblk->disk is not freed until put_disk(vblk->disk).

If we reset the virtio-blk device before the requests already dispatched to the virtio-blk driver from the block layer are finised, we will stuck in blk_cleanup_queue() and the remove will fail. blk_cleanup_queue() calls blk_drain_queue() to drain all requests queued before DEAD marking. However it will never success if the device is already stopped. We'll have q->in_flight[] > 0, so the drain will not finish. How to reproduce the race: 1. hot-plug a virtio-blk device 2. keep reading/writing the device in guest 3. hot-unplug while the device is busy serving I/O Test: ~1000 rounds of hot-plug/hot-unplug test passed with this patch.

The current virtio block's naming algorithm just supports 18278 (26^3 + 26^2 + 26) disks. If there are more virtio blocks, there will be disks with the same name. Based on commit 3e1a7ff8a0a7b948f2684930166954f9e8e776fe, add a function "virtblk_name_format()" for virtio block to support mass of disks naming. Notes: - Our naming scheme is ugly. We are stuck with it for virtio but don't use it for any new driver: new drivers should name their devices PREFIX%d where the sequence number can be allocated by ida - sd_format_disk_name has exactly the same logic. Moving it to a central place was deferred over worries that this will make people keep using the legacy naming in new drivers. We kept code idential in case someone wants to deduplicate later.

Two problems with this: - if this runs after device is gone we will get use after free - access of config while reset is in progress is racy (as layout is changing).
