Merge block/IO core bits from Jens Axboe: "This is a bit bigger on the core side than usual, but that is purely because we decided to hold off on parts of Tejun's submission on 3.4 to give it a bit more time to simmer. As a consequence, it's seen a long cycle in for-next. It contains: - Bug fix from Dan, wrong locking type. - Relax splice gifting restriction from Eric. - A ton of updates from Tejun, primarily for blkcg. This improves the code a lot, making the API nicer and cleaner, and also includes fixes for how we handle and tie policies and re-activate on switches. The changes also include generic bug fixes. - A simple fix from Vivek, along with a fix for doing proper delayed allocation of the blkcg stats."

2012-05-11bio allocation failure due to bio_get_nr_vecs()Bernd Schubert
The number of bio_get_nr_vecs() is passed down via bio_alloc() to bvec_alloc_bs(), which fails the bio allocation if nr_iovecs > BIO_MAX_PAGES. For the underlying caller this causes an unexpected bio allocation failure. Limiting to queue_max_segments() is not sufficient, as max_segments also might be very large. bvec_alloc_bs(gfp_mask, nr_iovecs, ) => NULL when nr_iovecs > BIO_MAX_PAGES bio_alloc_bioset(gfp_mask, nr_iovecs, ...) bio_alloc(GFP_NOIO, nvecs) xfs_alloc_ioend_bio() Signed-off-by: Bernd Schubert <bernd.schubert@itwm.fraunhofer.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>

2012-03-06block: implement bio_associate_current()Tejun Heo
IO scheduling and cgroup are tied to the issuing task via io_context and cgroup of %current. Unfortunately, there are cases where IOs need to be routed via a different task which makes scheduling and cgroup limit enforcement applied completely incorrectly. For example, all bios delayed by blk-throttle end up being issued by a delayed work item and get assigned the io_context of the worker task which happens to serve the work item and dumped to the default block cgroup. This is double confusing as bios which aren't delayed end up in the correct cgroup and makes using blk-throttle and cfq propio together impossible. Any code which punts IO issuing to another task is affected which is getting more and more common (e.g. btrfs). As both io_context and cgroup are firmly tied to task including userland visible APIs to manipulate them, it makes a lot of sense to match up tasks to bios. This patch implements bio_associate_current() which associates the specified bio with %current. The bio will record the associated ioc and blkcg at that point and block layer will use the recorded ones regardless of which task actually ends up issuing the bio. bio release puts the associated ioc and blkcg. It grabs and remembers ioc and blkcg instead of the task itself because task may already be dead by the time the bio is issued making ioc and blkcg inaccessible and those are all block layer cares about. elevator_set_req_fn() is updated such that the bio elvdata is being allocated for is available to the elevator. This doesn't update block cgroup policies yet. Further patches will implement the support. -v2: #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP added around bio->bi_ioc dereference in rq_ioc() to fix build breakage.

2012-02-08bio: don't overflow in bio_get_nr_vecs()Kent Overstreet
There were two places bio_get_nr_vecs() could overflow: First, it did a left shift to convert from sectors to bytes immediately before dividing by PAGE_SIZE. If PAGE_SIZE ever was less than 512 a great many things would break, so dividing by PAGE_SIZE >> 9 is safe and will generate smaller code too. The nastier overflow was in the DIV_ROUND_UP() (that's what the code was effectively doing, anyways). If n + d overflowed, the whole thing would return 0 which breaks things rather effectively. bio_get_nr_vecs() doesn't claim to give an exact value anyways, so the DIV_ROUND_UP() is silly; we could do a straight divide except if a device's queue_max_sectors was less than PAGE_SIZE we'd return 0. So we just add 1; this should always be safe - things will break badly if bio_get_nr_vecs() returns > BIO_MAX_PAGES (bio_alloc() will suddenly start failing) but it's queue_max_segments that must guard against this, if queue_max_sectors is preventing this from happen things are going to explode on architectures with different PAGE_SIZE.

2011-11-16bio: change some signed vars to unsignedDan Carpenter
This is just a cleanup patch to silence a static checker warning. The problem is that we cap "nr_iovecs" so it can't be larger than "UIO_MAXIOV" but we don't check for negative values. It turns out this is prevented at other layers, but logically it doesn't make sense to have negative nr_iovecs so making it unsigned is nicer.

2011-10-24block: Remove the control of complete cpu from bio.Tao Ma
bio originally has the functionality to set the complete cpu, but it is broken. Chirstoph said that "This code is unused, and from the all the discussions lately pretty obviously broken. The only thing keeping it serves is creating more confusion and possibly more bugs." And Jens replied with "We can kill bio_set_completion_cpu(). I'm fine with leaving cpu control to the request based drivers, they are the only ones that can toggle the setting anyway". So this patch tries to remove all the work of controling complete cpu from a bio.

2011-03-17block: Require subsystems to explicitly allocate bio_set integrity mempoolMartin K. Petersen
MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an integrity mempool attached regardless of whether the metadevice is capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory. Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not. Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the fs_bio_set. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

This may cause significant performance penalty for example fs_block_size == 1k and block device is raid0 with small chunk_size = 8k.

2009-07-10block: fix sg SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV regressionFUJITA Tomonori
I overlooked SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV support when I converted sg to use the block layer mapping API (2.6.28). Douglas Gilbert explained SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg37135.html = The semantics of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV were: - copy user space buffer to kernel (LLD) buffer - do SCSI command which is assumed to be of the DATA_IN (data from device) variety. This would overwrite some or all of the kernel buffer - copy kernel (LLD) buffer back to the user space. The idea was to detect short reads by filling the original user space buffer with some marker bytes ("0xec" it would seem in this report). The "resid" value is a better way of detecting short reads but that was only added this century and requires co-operation from the LLD. = This patch changes the block layer mapping API to support this semantics. This simply adds another field to struct rq_map_data and enables __bio_copy_iov() to copy data from user space even with READ requests. It's better to add the flags field and kills null_mapped and the new from_user fields in struct rq_map_data but that approach makes it difficult to send this patch to stable trees because st and osst drivers use struct rq_map_data (they were converted to use the block layer in 2.6.29 and 2.6.30). Well, I should clean up the block layer mapping API. zhou sf reported this regiression and tested this patch: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg37128.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg37168.html Reported-by: zhou sf <sxzzsf@gmail.com> Tested-by: zhou sf <sxzzsf@gmail.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-06-09tracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT()Li Zefan
TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds these new capabilities to this tracepoint: - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing - binary tracing without printf overhead - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions ... Cons: - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events. no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL. no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL. This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue. But this may change in the future. - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print. While blktrace do the convertion just before output. Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue. - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry. The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array(). I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing: dd dd + ioctl blktrace dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice) 1 7.36s, 42.7 MB/s 7.50s, 42.0 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s 2 7.43s, 42.3 MB/s 7.48s, 42.1 MB/s 7.43s, 42.4 MB/s 3 7.38s, 42.6 MB/s 7.45s, 42.2 MB/s 7.41s, 42.5 MB/s So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using those trace events vs blktrace. And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace: # ls -l -h -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out Following are some comparisons between TRACE_EVENT and blktrace: plug: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084981: block_plug: [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084981: 8,0 P N [kjournald] unplug_io: kblockd/0-118 [000] 300.052973: block_unplug_io: [kblockd/0] 1 kblockd/0-118 [000] 300.052974: 8,0 U N [kblockd/0] 1 remap: kjournald-480 [000] 303.085042: block_remap: 8,0 W 102736992 + 8 <- (8,8) 33384 kjournald-480 [000] 303.085043: 8,0 A W 102736992 + 8 <- (8,8) 33384 bio_backmerge: kjournald-480 [000] 303.085086: block_bio_backmerge: 8,0 W 102737032 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.085086: 8,0 M W 102737032 + 8 [kjournald] getrq: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084974: block_getrq: 8,0 W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084975: 8,0 G W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] bash-2066 [001] 1072.953770: 8,0 G N [bash] bash-2066 [001] 1072.953773: block_getrq: 0,0 N 0 + 0 [bash] rq_complete: konsole-2065 [001] 300.053184: block_rq_complete: 8,0 W () 103669040 + 16 [0] konsole-2065 [001] 300.053191: 8,0 C W 103669040 + 16 [0] ksoftirqd/1-7 [001] 1072.953811: 8,0 C N (5a 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 24 00) [0] ksoftirqd/1-7 [001] 1072.953813: block_rq_complete: 0,0 N (5a 00 08 00 00 00 00 00 24 00) 0 + 0 [0] rq_insert: kjournald-480 [000] 303.084985: block_rq_insert: 8,0 W 0 () 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] kjournald-480 [000] 303.084986: 8,0 I W 102736984 + 8 [kjournald] Changelog from v2 -> v3: - use the newly introduced __dynamic_array().

2009-05-22block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size and the logical ditto. This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2009-05-19bio: always copy back data for copied kernel requestsTejun Heo
When a read bio_copy_kern() request fails, the content of the bounce buffer is not copied back. However, as request failure doesn't necessarily mean complete failure, the buffer state can be useful. This behavior is also inconsistent with the user map counterpart and causes the subtle difference between bounced and unbounced IO causes confusion. This patch makes bio_copy_kern_endio() ignore @err and always copy back data on request completion.

st driver uses blk_rq_map_user() in order to just build a request out of page frames. In this case, map_data->offset is a non zero value and iov[0].iov_base is NULL.

2009-04-22bio: use bio_kmalloc() in copy/map functionsTejun Heo
Impact: remove possible deadlock condition There is no reason to use mempool backed allocation for map functions. Also, because kern mapping is used inside LLDs (e.g. for EH), using mempool backed allocation can lead to deadlock under extreme conditions (mempool already consumed by the time a request reached EH and requests are blocked on EH). Switch copy/map functions to bio_kmalloc(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-22bio: fix bio_kmalloc()Tejun Heo
Impact: fix bio_kmalloc() and its destruction path bio_kmalloc() was broken in two ways. * bvec_alloc_bs() first allocates bvec using kmalloc() and then ignores it and allocates again like non-kmalloc bvecs. * bio_kmalloc_destructor() didn't check for and free bio integrity data. This patch fixes the above problems. kmalloc patch is separated out from bio_alloc_bioset() and allocates the requested number of bvecs as inline bvecs. * bio_alloc_bioset() no longer takes NULL @bs. None other than bio_kmalloc() used it and outside users can't know how it was allocated anyway. * Define and use BIO_POOL_NONE so that pool index check in bvec_free_bs() triggers if inline or kmalloc allocated bvec gets there. * Relocate destructors on top of each allocation function so that how they're used is more clear. Jens Axboe suggested allocating bvecs inline. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
