We leak a page allocated for discard on some error conditions (e.g. scsi_prep_state_check returns BLKPREP_DEFER in scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd). We unprep on requests that weren't prepped in the error path of scsi_init_io. It makes the error path to clean up scsi commands messy. Let's strictly apply the rule that we can't unprep on a request that wasn't prepped. Calling just scsi_put_command() in the error path of scsi_init_io() is enough. We don't set REQ_DONTPREP yet. scsi_setup_discard_cmnd can safely free a page on the error case with the above rule. Signed-off-by:

Add a trace event to the ->writepage loop in write_cache_pages to give visibility into how the ->writepage call is changing variables within the writeback control structure. Of most interest is how wbc->nr_to_write changes from call to call, especially with filesystems that write multiple pages in ->writepage. Signed-off-by:

Tracing high level background writeback events is good, but it doesn't give the entire picture. Add visibility into write throttling to catch IO dispatched by foreground throttling of processing dirtying lots of pages. Signed-off-by:

Trace queue/sched/exec parts of the writeback loop. This provides insight into when and why flusher threads are scheduled to run. e.g a sync invocation leaves traces like: sync-[...]: writeback_queue: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0 flush-8:0-[...]: writeback_exec: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0 This also lays the foundation for adding more writeback tracing to provide deeper insight into the whole writeback path. The original tracing code is from Jens Axboe, though this version is a rewrite as a result of the code being traced changing significantly. Signed-off-by: -

scsi-ml builds flush requests via q->prepare_flush_fn(), however, builds discard requests via q->prep_rq_fn. Using two different mechnisms for the similar requests (building commands in SCSI ULD) doesn't make sense. Handing both via q->prep_rq_fn makes the code design simpler. Signed-off-by:

This is preparation for removing q->prepare_flush_fn. Temporarily, blk_queue_ordered() permits QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_PREFLUSH and QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_POSTFLUSH without prepare_flush_fn. Signed-off-by:

FUJITA Tomonori authored
SCSI-ml needs a way to mark a request as flush request in q->prepare_flush_fn because it needs to identify them later (e.g. in q->request_fn or prep_rq_fn). queue_flush sets REQ_HARDBARRIER in rq->cmd_flags however the block layer also sends normal REQ_TYPE_FS requests with REQ_HARDBARRIER. So SCSI-ml can't use REQ_HARDBARRIER to identify flush requests. We could change the block layer to clear REQ_HARDBARRIER bit before sending non flush requests to the lower layers. However, intorudcing the new flag looks cleaner (surely easier). Signed-off-by:

FUJITA Tomonori authored
This fixes discard page leak by using q->unprep_rq_fn facility. q->unprep_rq_fn is called when all the data buffer (req->bio and scsi_data_buffer) in the request is freed. sd_unprep() uses rq->buffer to free discard page allocated in sd_prepare_discard(). Signed-off-by:

Allocating a fixed payload for discard requests always was a horrible hack, and it's not coming to byte us when adding support for discard in DM/MD. So change the code to leave the allocation of a payload to the lowlevel driver. Unfortunately that means we'll need another hack, which allows us to update the various block layer length fields indicating that we have a payload. Instead of hiding this in sd.c, which we already partially do for UNMAP support add a documented helper in the core block layer for it. Signed-off-by:

On compilation, gcc correctly detects that we do not handle all types: In function ‘blk_done’: warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_FS’ not handled in switch warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_SENSE’ not handled in switch warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_PM_SUSPEND’ not handled in switch warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME’ not handled in switch warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_PM_SHUTDOWN’ not handled in switch warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_LINUX_BLOCK’ not handled in switch warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE’ not handled in switch warning: enumeration value ‘REQ_TYPE_ATA_PC’ not handled in switch which is a bit pointless since this is at the end of the request processessing. Add a default case that just breaks out. Signed-off-by: -

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too. This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them. Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now. Signed-off-by:

block uses ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD for BLK_BOUNCE_ISA. Only SCSI uses ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD for ancient drivers with non-zero unchecked_isa_dma. Nowadays drivers (and subsystems) use dma_mask properly instead of ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD. Documentation/scsi/scsi_mid_low_api.txt says: unchecked_isa_dma - 1=>only use bottom 16 MB of ram (ISA DMA addressing restriction), 0=>can use full 32 bit (or better) DMA address space So block simply uses DMA_BIT_MASK(24) for BLK_BOUNCE_ISA for SCSI.

We can safely remove ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD usage in aha1542. aha1542 uses ISA_DMA_THRESHOLD to see if: - the buffers in scatter/list are below 16MB. - scsi_host is below 16MB. Both checkings were added in the ancient times but aren't necessary nowadays since we properly bounce the buffers and allocate scsi_host below 16MB with non-zero unchecked_isa_dma. Signed-off-by:

A barrier request should by defintion have priority in get_request and let the queue be unplugged immediately as it's blocking all forward progress due to the queue draining. Most filesystems already get this implicitly by the way how submit_bh treats the buffer_ordered flag, and gfs2 sets it explicitly. But btrfs and XFS are still forgetting to set the flag, as is blkdev_issue_flush and some places in DM/MD. For XFS on metadata heavy workloads this gives a consistent speedup in the 2-3% range.
