      blk-mq: expose write hints through debugfs · f793dfd3
      Jens Axboe authored 
      Useful to verify that things are working the way they should.
Reading the file will return number of kb written with each
write hint. Writing the file will reset the statistics. No care
is taken to ensure that we don't race on updates.

Drivers will write to q->write_hints[] if they handle a given
write hint.

      block: add support for write hints in a bio · cb6934f8
      Jens Axboe authored 
      No functional changes in this patch, we just use up some holes
in the bio and request structures to define a write hint that
we psas down the stack.

Ensure that we don't merge requests that have different life time
hints assigned to them, and that we inherit the write hint when
cloning a bio.

      fs: add fcntl() interface for setting/getting write life time hints · c75b1d94
      Jens Axboe authored 
      Define a set of write life time hints:

RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET	No hint information set
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_NONE	No hints about write life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_SHORT	Data written has a short life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_MEDIUM	Data written has a medium life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_LONG	Data written has a long life time
RWH_WRITE_LIFE_EXTREME	Data written has an extremely long life time

The intent is for these values to be relative to each other, no
absolute meaning should be attached to these flag names.

Add an fcntl interface for querying these flags, and also for
setting them as well:

F_GET_RW_HINT		Returns the read/write hint set on the
			underlying inode.

F_SET_RW_HINT		Set one of the above write hints on the
			underlying inode.

F_GET_FILE_RW_HINT	Returns the read/write hint set on the
			file descriptor.

F_SET_FILE_RW_HINT	Set one of the above write hints on the
			file descriptor.

The user passes in a 64-bit pointer to get/set these values, and
the interface returns 0/-1 on success/error.

Sample program testing/implementing basic setting/getting of write
hints is below.

Add support for storing the write life time hint in the inode flags
and in struct file as well, and pass them to the kiocb flags. If
both a file and its corresponding inode has a write hint, then we
use the one in the file, if available. The file hint can be used
for sync/direct IO, for buffered writeback only the inode hint
is available.

This is in preparation for utilizing these hints in the block layer,
to guide on-media data placement.

      lightnvm: if LUNs are already allocated fix return · 12e9a6d6
      Rakesh Pandit authored 
      While creating new device with NVM_DEV_CREATE if LUNs are already
allocated ioctl would return -ENOMEM which is wrong.  This patch
propagates -EBUSY from nvm_reserve_luns which is correct response.

Fixes: ade69e24 ("lightnvm: merge gennvm with core")
