2010-01-28block: fix bio_add_page for non trivial merge_bvec_fn caseDmitry Monakhov
We have to properly decrease bi_size in order to merge_bvec_fn return right result. Otherwise this result in false merge rejects for two absolutely valid bio_vecs. This may cause significant performance penalty for example fs_block_size == 1k and block device is raid0 with small chunk_size = 8k. Then it is impossible to merge 7-th fs-block in to bio which already has 6 fs-blocks.

2009-11-26block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's ↵Ilya Loginov
pages 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.

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>
2009-07-01block: Create bip slabs with embedded integrity vectorsMartin K. Petersen
This patch restores stacking ability to the block layer integrity infrastructure by creating a set of dedicated bip slabs. Each bip slab has an embedded bio_vec array at the end. This cuts down on memory allocations and also simplifies the code compared to the original bvec version. Only the largest bip slab is backed by a mempool. The pool is contained in the bio_set so stacking drivers can ensure forward progress. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@carl.(none)>

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().

2009-05-19bio: 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.

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.

This feature inlines a definable amount of io vecs inside the bio itself, so we eliminate the bio_vec array allocation for IO's up to a certain size.

Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one in each bio_set that is created. This allows for personalized slabs in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes. This means we can personalize the bios we return. File systems may want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio. Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now possible. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

This was a forward port of work done by Mathieu Desnoyers, I changed it to encode the 'what' parameter on the tracepoint name, so that one can register interest in specific events and not on classes of events to then check the 'what' parameter.

2008-10-09block: mark bio_split_pool staticDenis ChengRq
Since all bio_split calls refer the same single bio_split_pool, the bio_split function can use bio_split_pool directly instead of the mempool_t parameter; then the mempool_t parameter can be removed from bio_split param list, and bio_split_pool is only referred in fs/bio.c file, can be marked static.

2008-10-09block: add bio_kmalloc()Jens Axboe
Not all callers need (or want!) the mempool backing guarentee, it essentially means that you can only use bio_alloc() for short allocations and not for preallocating some bio's at setup or init time. So add bio_kmalloc() which does the same thing as bio_alloc(), except it just uses kmalloc() as the backing instead of the bio mempools. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-10-09block: make blk_rq_map_user take a NULL user-space bufferFUJITA Tomonori
This patch changes blk_rq_map_user to accept a NULL user-space buffer with a READ command if rq_map_data is not NULL. Thus a caller can pass page frames to lk_rq_map_user to just set up a request and bios with page frames propely. bio_uncopy_user (called via blk_rq_unmap_user) doesn't copy data to user space with such request.

2008-10-09block: introduce struct rq_map_data to use reserved pagesFUJITA Tomonori
This patch introduces struct rq_map_data to enable bio_copy_use_iov() use reserved pages. Currently, bio_copy_user_iov allocates bounce pages but drivers/scsi/sg.c wants to allocate pages by itself and use them. struct rq_map_data can be used to pass allocated pages to bio_copy_user_iov. The current users of bio_copy_user_iov simply passes NULL (they don't want to use pre-allocated pages).

2008-10-09block: add gfp_mask argument to blk_rq_map_user and blk_rq_map_user_iovFUJITA Tomonori
Currently, blk_rq_map_user and blk_rq_map_user_iov always do GFP_KERNEL allocation. This adds gfp_mask argument to blk_rq_map_user and blk_rq_map_user_iov so sg can use it (sg always does GFP_ATOMIC allocation).

2008-10-09block: add support for IO CPU affinityJens Axboe
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>
