block: remove support for the host aware zone model When zones were first added the SCSI and ATA specs, two different models were supported (in addition to the drive managed one that is invisible to the host): - host managed where non-conventional zones there is strict requirement to write at the write pointer, or else an error is returned - host aware where a write point is maintained if writes always happen at it, otherwise it is left in an under-defined state and the sequential write preferred zones behave like conventional zones (probably very badly performing ones, though) Not surprisingly this lukewarm model didn't prove to be very useful and was finally removed from the ZBC and SBC specs (NVMe never implemented it). Due to to the easily disappearing write pointer host software could never rely on the write pointer to actually be useful for say recovery. Fortunately only a few HDD prototypes shipped using this model which never made it to mass production. Drop the support before it is too late. Note that any such host aware prototype HDD can still be used with Linux as we'll now treat it as a conventional HDD. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Martin K.

block: fix revalidate performance regression The scsi driver function sd_read_block_characteristics() always calls disk_set_zoned() to a disk zoned model correctly, in case the device model changed. This is done even for regular disks to set the zoned model to BLK_ZONED_NONE and free any zone related resources if the drive previously was zoned. This behavior significantly impact the time it takes to revalidate disks on a large system as the call to disk_clear_zone_settings() done from disk_set_zoned() for the BLK_ZONED_NONE case results in the device request queued to be frozen, even if there are no zone resources to free. Avoid this overhead for non-zoned devices by not calling disk_clear_zone_settings() in disk_set_zoned() if the device model was already set to BLK_ZONED_NONE, which is always the case for regular devices.

block: Fix partition check for host-aware zoned block devices Commit a33df75c6328 ("block: use an xarray for disk->part_tbl") modified the method to check partition existence in host-aware zoned block devices from disk_has_partitions() helper function call to empty check of xarray disk->part_tbl. However, disk->part_tbl always has single entry for disk->part0 and never becomes empty. This resulted in the host-aware zoned devices always judged to have partitions, and it made the sysfs queue/zoned attribute to be "none" instead of "host-aware" regardless of partition existence in the devices. This also caused DEBUG_LOCKS_WARN_ON(lock->magic != lock) for sdkp->rev_mutex in scsi layer when the kernel detects host-aware zoned device. Since block layer handled the host-aware zoned devices as non- zoned devices, scsi layer did not have chance to initialize the mutex for zone revalidation. Therefore, the warning was triggered. To fix the issues, call the helper function disk_has_partitions() in place of disk->part_tbl empty check. Since the function was removed with the commit a33df75c6328, reimplement it to walk through entries in the xarray disk->part_tbl.

The dm-integrity device uses logical_block_size 4096 and it doesn't affect the "max_sectors" value - thus, it inherits 255 from the ramdisk. So, we have a device with max_sectors not aligned on logical_block_size. The md-raid device sees that the underlying leg has max_sectors 255 and it will split the bios on 255-sector boundary, making the bios unaligned on logical_block_size. In order to fix the bug, we round down max_sectors to logical_block_size.

block: introduce zone_write_granularity limit Per ZBC and ZAC specifications, host-managed SMR hard-disks mandate that all writes into sequential write required zones be aligned to the device physical block size. However, NVMe ZNS does not have this constraint and allows write operations into sequential zones to be aligned to the device logical block size. This inconsistency does not help with software portability across device types. To solve this, introduce the zone_write_granularity queue limit to indicate the alignment constraint, in bytes, of write operations into zones of a zoned block device. This new limit is exported as a read-only sysfs queue attribute and the helper blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() introduced for drivers to set this limit. The function blk_queue_set_zoned() is modified to set this new limit to the device logical block size by default. NVMe ZNS devices as well as zoned nullb devices use this default value as is. The scsi disk driver is modified to execute the blk_queue_zone_write_granularity() helper to set the zone write granularity of host-managed SMR disks to the disk physical block size. The accessor functions queue_zone_write_granularity() and bdev_zone_write_granularity() are also introduced.

block: Align max_hw_sectors to logical blocksize Block device drivers do not have to call blk_queue_max_hw_sectors() to set a limit on request size if the default limit BLK_SAFE_MAX_SECTORS is acceptable. However, this limit (255 sectors) may not be aligned to the device logical block size which cannot be used as is for a request maximum size. This is the case for the null_blk device driver. Modify blk_queue_max_hw_sectors() to make sure that the request size limits specified by the max_hw_sectors and max_sectors queue limits are always aligned to the device logical block size. Additionally, to avoid introducing a dependence on the execution order of this function with blk_queue_logical_block_size(), also modify blk_queue_logical_block_size() to perform the same alignment when the logical block size is set after max_hw_sectors.

block: use gcd() to fix chunk_sectors limit stacking commit 22ada802ede8 ("block: use lcm_not_zero() when stacking chunk_sectors") broke chunk_sectors limit stacking. chunk_sectors must reflect the most limited of all devices in the IO stack. Otherwise malformed IO may result. E.g.: prior to this fix, ->chunk_sectors = lcm_not_zero(8, 128) would result in blk_max_size_offset() splitting IO at 128 sectors rather than the required more restrictive 8 sectors. And since commit 07d098e6bbad ("block: allow 'chunk_sectors' to be non-power-of-2") care must be taken to properly stack chunk_sectors to be compatible with the possibility that a non-power-of-2 chunk_sectors may be stacked. This is why gcd() is used instead of reverting back to using min_not_zero().

This causes the RAID6's io_opt to be advertised as 1280K, and a stacked device _could_ then be made to use a blocksize, aka chunk_sectors, that matches non power-of-2 io_opt of underlying RAID6 -- resulting in stacked device's chunk_sectors being a non power-of-2).

scsi: sd: sd_zbc: Fix handling of host-aware ZBC disks When CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is disabled, allow using host-aware ZBC disks as regular disks. In this case, ensure that command completion is correctly executed by changing sd_zbc_complete() to return good_bytes instead of 0 and causing a hang during device probe (endless retries). When CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is enabled and a host-aware disk is detected to have partitions, it will be used as a regular disk. In this case, make sure to not do anything in sd_zbc_revalidate_zones() as that triggers warnings. Since all these different cases result in subtle settings of the disk queue zoned model, introduce the block layer helper function blk_queue_set_zoned() to generically implement setting up the effective zoned model according to the disk type, the presence of partitions on the disk and CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED configuration.

block: Introduce REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND Define REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND to append-write sectors to a zone of a zoned block device. This is a no-merge write operation. A zone append write BIO must: * Target a zoned block device * Have a sector position indicating the start sector of the target zone * The target zone must be a sequential write zone * The BIO must not cross a zone boundary * The BIO size must not be split to ensure that a single range of LBAs is written with a single command. Implement these checks in generic_make_request_checks() using the helper function blk_check_zone_append(). To avoid write append BIO splitting, introduce the new max_zone_append_sectors queue limit attribute and ensure that a BIO size is always lower than this limit. Export this new limit through sysfs and check these limits in bio_full(). Also when a LLDD can't dispatch a request to a specific zone, it will return BLK_STS_ZONE_RESOURCE indicating this request needs to be delayed, e.g. because the zone it will be dispatched to is still write-locked. If this happens set the request aside in a local list to continue trying dispatching requests such as READ requests or a WRITE/ZONE_APPEND requests targetting other zones. This way we can still keep a high queue depth without starving other requests even if one request can't be served due to zone write-locking. Finally, make sure that the bio sector position indicates the actual write position as indicated by the device on completion.

block: fix an integer overflow in logical block size Logical block size has type unsigned short. That means that it can be at most 32768. However, there are architectures that can run with 64k pages (for example arm64) and on these architectures, it may be possible to create block devices with 64k block size. For exmaple (run this on an architecture with 64k pages): Mount will fail with this error because it tries to read the superblock using 2-sector access: device-mapper: writecache: I/O is not aligned, sector 2, size 1024, block size 65536 EXT4-fs (dm-0): unable to read superblock This patch changes the logical block size from unsigned short to unsigned int to avoid the overflow.

block: Introduce elevator features Introduce the definition of elevator features through the elevator_features flags in the elevator_type structure. Each flag can represent a feature supported by an elevator. The first feature defined by this patch is support for zoned block device sequential write constraint with the flag ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE, which is implemented by the mq-deadline elevator using zone write locking. Other possible features are IO priorities, write hints, latency targets or single-LUN dual-actuator disks (for which the elevator could maintain one LBA ordered list per actuator). The required_elevator_features field is also added to the request_queue structure to allow a device driver to specify elevator feature flags that an elevator must support for the correct operation of the device (e.g. device drivers for zoned block devices can have the ELEVATOR_F_ZBD_SEQ_WRITE flag as a required feature). The helper function blk_queue_required_elevator_features() is defined for setting this new field. With these two new fields in place, the elevator functions elevator_match() and elevator_find() are modified to allow a user to set only an elevator with a set of features that satisfies the device required features. Elevators not matching the device requirements are not shown in the device sysfs queue/scheduler file to prevent their use. The "none" elevator can always be selected as before.

mm: don't cap request size based on read-ahead setting We ran into a funky issue, where someone doing 256K buffered reads saw 128K requests at the device level. Turns out it is read-ahead capping the request size, since we use 128K as the default setting. This doesn't make a lot of sense - if someone is issuing 256K reads, they should see 256K reads, regardless of the read-ahead setting, if the underlying device can support a 256K read in a single command. This patch introduces a bdi hint, io_pages. This is the soft max IO size for the lower level, I've hooked it up to the bdev settings here. Read-ahead is modified to issue the maximum of the user request size, and the read-ahead max size, but capped to the max request size on the device side. The latter is done to avoid reading ahead too much, if the application asks for a huge read. With this patch, the kernel behaves like the application expects.

block: hook up writeback throttling Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity. Background writeback should be, by definition, background activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads, which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback, unless someone is waiting for it. The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the windows where we get good behavior. Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window. When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's stable state of a zero scale count. The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and 75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting. We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will rely on CFQ doing that for us. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

block: add ability to flag write back caching on a device Add an internal helper and flag for setting whether a queue has write back caching, or write through (or none). Add a sysfs file to show this as well, and make it changeable from user space. This will replace the (awkward) blk_queue_flush() interface that drivers currently use to inform the block layer of write cache state and capabilities.

mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

block/sd: Fix device-imposed transfer length limits Commit 4f258a46346c ("sd: Fix maximum I/O size for BLOCK_PC requests") had the unfortunate side-effect of removing an implicit clamp to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS for REQ_TYPE_FS requests in the block layer code. This caused problems for some SMR drives. Debugging this issue revealed a few problems with the existing infrastructure since the block layer didn't know how to deal with device-imposed limits, only limits set by the I/O controller. - Introduce a new queue limit, max_dev_sectors, which is used by the ULD to signal the maximum sectors for a REQ_TYPE_FS request. - Ensure that max_dev_sectors is correctly stacked and taken into account when overriding max_sectors through sysfs. - Rework sd_read_block_limits() so it saves the max_xfer and opt_xfer values for later processing. - In sd_revalidate() set the queue's max_dev_sectors based on the MAXIMUM TRANSFER LENGTH value in the Block Limits VPD. If this value is not reported, fall back to a cap based on the CDB TRANSFER LENGTH field size. - In sd_revalidate(), use OPTIMAL TRANSFER LENGTH from the Block Limits VPD--if reported and sane--to signal the preferred device transfer size for FS requests. Otherwise use BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS. - blk_limits_max_hw_sectors() is no longer used and can be removed. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

This patch adds a queue limits so a driver with such constraints can set to allow requests that would have been unnecessarily split. The new gaps check takes the request_queue as a parameter to simplify the logic around invoking this function. This new limit makes the queue flag redundant, so removing it and all usage.

Revert "block: remove artifical max_hw_sectors cap" This reverts commit 34b48db66e08ca1c1bc07cf305d672ac940268dc. That commit caused performance regressions for streaming I/O workloads on a number of different storage devices, from SATA disks to external RAID arrays. It also managed to trip up some buggy firmware in at least one drive, causing data corruption. The next patch will bump the default max_sectors_kb value to 1280, which will accommodate a 10-data-disk stripe write with chunk size 128k. In the testing I've done using iozone, fio, and aio-stress, a value of 1280 does not show a big performance difference from 512. This will hopefully still help the software RAID setup that Christoph saw the original performance gains with while still not regressing other storage configurations.

block: fix blk_stack_limits() regression due to lcm() change Linux 3.19 commit 69c953c ("lib/lcm.c: lcm(n,0)=lcm(0,n) is 0, not n") caused blk_stack_limits() to not properly stack queue_limits for stacked devices (e.g. DM). Fix this regression by establishing lcm_not_zero() and switching blk_stack_limits() over to using it. DM uses blk_set_stacking_limits() to establish the initial top-level queue_limits that are then built up based on underlying devices' limits using blk_stack_limits(). In the case of optimal_io_size (io_opt) blk_set_stacking_limits() establishes a default value of 0. With commit 69c953c, lcm(0, n) is no longer n, which compromises proper stacking of the underlying devices' io_opt.

block: Initialize ->queue_lock to internal lock at queue allocation time There does not seem to be a clear convention whether q->queue_lock is initialized or not when blk_cleanup_queue() is called. In the past it was not necessary but now blk_throtl_exit() takes up queue lock by default and needs queue lock to be available. In fact elevator_exit() code also has similar requirement just that it is less stringent in the sense that elevator_exit() is called only if elevator is initialized. Two problems have been noticed because of ambiguity about spin lock status. - If a driver calls blk_alloc_queue() and then soon calls blk_cleanup_queue() almost immediately, (because some other driver structure allocation failed or some other error happened) then blk_throtl_exit() will run into issues as queue lock is not initialized. Loop driver ran into this issue recently and I noticed error paths in md driver too. Similar error paths should exist in other drivers too. - If some driver provided external spin lock and zapped the lock before blk_cleanup_queue(), then it can lead to issues. So this patch initializes the default queue lock at queue allocation time. block throttling code is one of the users of queue lock and it is initialized at the queue allocation time, so it makes sense to initialize ->queue_lock also to internal lock. A driver can overide that lock later. This will take care of the issue where a driver does not have to worry about initializing the queue lock to default before calling blk_cleanup_queue() Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

block: Deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use queue_limits instead When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a metadevice. There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver. The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing. We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking. Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

block: deprecate barrier and replace blk_queue_ordered() with blk_queue_flush() Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA requests. Deprecate barrier. All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with -EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler blk_queue_flush(). blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA. All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted. * ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value. * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH. * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

block: Allow devices to indicate whether discarded blocks are zeroed The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device prior to putting metadata down. However, not all devices return zeroed blocks after a discard. Some drives return stale data, potentially containing old superblocks. It is therefore important to know whether discarded blocks are properly zeroed. Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether zeroes are returned after a discard operation. Implement a block level interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and queried via a new block device ioctl. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

block: Export I/O topology for block devices and partitions To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we need to ensure proper alignment. This patch adds support for exposing I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked. logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address. physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write without incurring a read-modify-write penalty. The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by the device. In many cases this is the same as the physical block size. However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking (RAID5 chunk size > physical block size). The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by the device. This is usually the stripe width for arrays. The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment. Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets so filesystems start on proper boundaries. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size 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.

block: fix queue bounce limit setting Impact: don't set GFP_DMA in q->bounce_gfp unnecessarily All DMA address limits are expressed in terms of the last addressable unit (byte or page) instead of one plus that. However, when determining bounce_gfp for 64bit machines in blk_queue_bounce_limit(), it compares the specified limit against 0x100000000UL to determine whether it's below 4G ending up falsely setting GFP_DMA in q->bounce_gfp. As DMA zone is very small on x86_64, this makes larger SG_IO transfers very eager to trigger OOM killer. Fix it. While at it, rename the parameter to @dma_mask for clarity and convert comment to proper winged style. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

block: use min_not_zero in blk_queue_stack_limits zero is invalid for max_phys_segments, max_hw_segments, and max_segment_size. It's better to use use min_not_zero instead of min. min() works though (because the commit 0e435ac makes sure that these values are set to the default values, non zero, if a queue is initialized properly). With this patch, blk_queue_stack_limits does the almost same thing that dm's combine_restrictions_low() does. I think that it's easy to remove dm's combine_restrictions_low.

block: fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask Fix setting of max_segment_size and seg_boundary mask for stacked md/dm devices. When stacking devices (LVM over MD over SCSI) some of the request queue parameters are not set up correctly in some cases by default, namely max_segment_size and and seg_boundary mask. If you create MD device over SCSI, these attributes are zeroed. Problem become when there is over this mapping next device-mapper mapping - queue attributes are set in DM this way: request_queue max_segment_size seg_boundary_mask SCSI 65536 0xffffffff MD RAID1 0 0 LVM 65536 -1 (64bit) Unfortunately bio_add_page (resp. bio_phys_segments) calculates number of physical segments according to these parameters. During the generic_make_request() is segment cout recalculated and can increase bio->bi_phys_segments count over the allowed limit. (After bio_clone() in stack operation.) Thi is specially problem in CCISS driver, where it produce OOPS here BUG_ON(creq->nr_phys_segments > MAXSGENTRIES); (MAXSEGENTRIES is 31 by default.) Sometimes even this command is enough to cause oops: dd iflag=direct if=/dev/<vg>/<lv> of=/dev/null bs=128000 count=10 This command generates bios with 250 sectors, allocated in 32 4k-pages (last page uses only 1024 bytes). For LVM layer, it allocates bio with 31 segments (still OK for CCISS), unfortunatelly on lower layer it is recalculated to 32 segments and this violates CCISS restriction and triggers BUG_ON(). The patch tries to fix it by: * initializing attributes above in queue request constructor blk_queue_make_request() * make sure that blk_queue_stack_limits() inherits setting (DM uses its own function to set the limits because it blk_queue_stack_limits() was introduced later. It should probably switch to use generic stack limit function too.) * sets the default seg_boundary value in one place (blkdev.h) * use this mask as default in DM (instead of -1, which differs in 64bit) Bugs related to this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471639 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8672 Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Cc: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Mike Miller <mike.miller@hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

block: add lld busy state exporting interface This patch adds an new interface, blk_lld_busy(), to check lld's busy state from the block layer. blk_lld_busy() calls down into low-level drivers for the checking if the drivers set q->lld_busy_fn() using blk_queue_lld_busy(). This resolves a performance problem on request stacking devices below. Some drivers like scsi mid layer stop dispatching request when they detect busy state on its low-level device like host/target/device. It allows other requests to stay in the I/O scheduler's queue for a chance of merging. Request stacking drivers like request-based dm should follow the same logic. However, there is no generic interface for the stacked device to check if the underlying device(s) are busy. If the request stacking driver dispatches and submits requests to the busy underlying device, the requests will stay in the underlying device's queue without a chance of merging. This causes performance problem on burst I/O load. With this patch, busy state of the underlying device is exported via q->lld_busy_fn(). So the request stacking driver can check it and stop dispatching requests if busy. The underlying device driver must return the busy state appropriately: 1: when the device driver can't process requests immediately. 0: when the device driver can process requests immediately, including abnormal situations where the device driver needs to kill all requests.

block: add support for IO CPU affinity This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper (bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask for completion on that specific CPU. In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired. This requires a little help from the architecture, so it'll only work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp helper infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Add 'discard' request handling Some block devices benefit from a hint that they can forget the contents of certain sectors. Add basic support for this to the block core, along with a 'blkdev_issue_discard()' helper function which issues such requests. The caller doesn't get to provide an end_io functio, since blkdev_issue_discard() will automatically split the request up into multiple bios if appropriate. Neither does the function wait for completion -- it's expected that callers won't care about when, or even _if_, the request completes. It's only a hint to the device anyway. By definition, the file system doesn't _care_ about these sectors any more.

Remove blkdev warning triggered by using md As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock, get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits. For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock. Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us q->__queue_lock. So always initialise that lock when allocated. With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held.

Fix bounce setting for 64-bit Looking a bit closer into this regression the reason this can't be right is that dma_addr common default is BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH and most machines have less than 4G. So if you do: if (b_pfn <= (min_t(u64, 0xffffffff, BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH) >> PAGE_SHIFT)) dma = 1 that will translate to: if (BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH <= BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH) dma = 1 So for 99% of hardware this will trigger unnecessary GFP_DMA allocations and isa pooling operations. Also note how the 32bit code still does b_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn. I guess this is what you were looking after. I didn't verify but as far as I can tell, this will stop the regression with isa dma operations at boot for 99% of blkdev/memory combinations out there and I guess this fixes the setups with >4G of ram and 32bit pci cards as well (this also retains symmetry with the 32bit code).
