      fs: add fget_many() and fput_many() · 091141a4
      Jens Axboe authored
      Some uses cases repeatedly get and put references to the same file, but
      the only exposed interface is doing these one at the time. As each of
      these entail an atomic inc or dec on a shared structure, that cost can
      add up.
      
      Add fget_many(), which works just like fget(), except it takes an
      argument for how many references to get on the file. Ditto fput_many(),
      which can drop an arbitrary number of references to a file.

      io_uring: support for IO polling · def596e9
      Jens Axboe authored
      Add support for a polled io_uring instance. When a read or write is
      submitted to a polled io_uring, the application must poll for
      completions on the CQ ring through io_uring_enter(2). Polled IO may not
      generate IRQ completions, hence they need to be actively found by the
      application itself.
      
      To use polling, io_uring_setup() must be used with the
      IORING_SETUP_IOPOLL flag being set. It is illegal to mix and match
      polled and non-polled IO on an io_uring.

      io_uring: add fsync support · c992fe29
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Add a new fsync opcode, which either syncs a range if one is passed,
      or the whole file if the offset and length fields are both cleared
      to zero.  A flag is provided to use fdatasync semantics, that is only
      force out metadata which is required to retrieve the file data, but
      not others like metadata.

      Add io_uring IO interface · 2b188cc1
      Jens Axboe authored
      The submission queue (SQ) and completion queue (CQ) rings are shared
      between the application and the kernel. This eliminates the need to
      copy data back and forth to submit and complete IO.
      
      IO submissions use the io_uring_sqe data structure, and completions
      are generated in the form of io_uring_cqe data structures. The SQ
      ring is an index into the io_uring_sqe array, which makes it possible
      to submit a batch of IOs without them being contiguous in the ring.
      The CQ ring is always contiguous, as completion events are inherently
      unordered, and hence any io_uring_cqe entry can point back to an
      arbitrary submission.
      
      Two new system calls are added for this:
      
      io_uring_setup(entries, params)
      	Sets up an io_uring instance for doing async IO. On success,
      	returns a file descriptor that the application can mmap to
      	gain access to the SQ ring, CQ ring, and io_uring_sqes.
      
      io_uring_enter(fd, to_submit, min_complete, flags, sigset, sigsetsize)
      	Initiates IO against the rings mapped to this fd, or waits for
      	them to complete, or both. The behavior is controlled by the
      	parameters passed in. If 'to_submit' is non-zero, then we'll
      	try and submit new IO. If IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS is set, the
      	kernel will wait for 'min_complete' events, if they aren't
      	already available. It's valid to set IORING_ENTER_GETEVENTS
      	and 'min_complete' == 0 at the same time, this allows the
      	kernel to return already completed events without waiting
      	for them. This is useful only for polling, as for IRQ
      	driven IO, the application can just check the CQ ring
      	without entering the kernel.
      
      With this setup, it's possible to do async IO with a single system
      call. Future developments will enable polled IO with this interface,
      and polled submission as well. The latter will enable an application
      to do IO without doing ANY system calls at all.
      
      For IRQ driven IO, an application only needs to enter the kernel for
      completions if it wants to wait for them to occur.
      
      Each io_uring is backed by a workqueue, to support buffered async IO
      as well. We will only punt to an async context if the command would
      need to wait for IO on the device side. Any data that can be accessed
      directly in the page cache is done inline. This avoids the slowness
      issue of usual threadpools, since cached data is accessed as quickly
      as a sync interface.

      block: introduce mp_bvec_for_each_page() for iterating over page · 594b9a89
      Ming Lei authored
      mp_bvec_for_each_segment() is a bit big for the iteration, so introduce
      a light-weight helper for iterating over pages, then 32bytes stack
      space can be saved.

      block: bounce: make sure that bvec table is updated · 8f4e80da
      Ming Lei authored
      Block bounce needs to allocate new page for doing IO, and the
      new page has to be updated to bvec table.
      
      Commit 6dc4f100 switches __blk_queue_bounce() to use the new
      bio_for_each_segment_all() interface. Unfortunately the new
      bio_for_each_segment_all() can't be used to update bvec table.
      
      This patch fixes this issue by retrieving bvec from the table
      directly, then the new allocated page can be updated to the bio.
      This way is safe because the cloned bio is single page bvec.
      
      Fixes: 6dc4f100 ("block: allow bio_for_each_segment_all() to iterate over multi-page bvec")
