Two mods to blkdev_issue_discard(), thinking ahead to its use on swap: 1. Add gfp_mask argument, so swap allocation can use it where GFP_KERNEL might deadlock but GFP_NOIO is safe. 2. Enlarge nr_sects argument from unsigned to sector_t: unsigned long is enough to cover a whole swap area, but sector_t suits any partition. Change sb_issue_discard()'s nr_blocks to sector_t too; but no need seen for a gfp_mask there, just pass GFP_KERNEL down to blkdev_issue_discard(). Signed-off-by:

sg_read_xfer was used to copy data to user space for READ commands. blk_rq_unmap_user does the job so sg_read_xfer does nothing useful. Signed-off-by:

Calling blk_rq_map_user() at a single place is better than at different two places. It makes the code more understandable. Signed-off-by:

__sg_start_req() was used temporarily to call blk_get_request() during converting sg to use the block layer. Now sg always calls blk_get_request() so we can move blk_get_request() to sg_start_req(). We don't need __sg_start_req anymore. Signed-off-by:

sg had lots of the own functions for the direct IO but now sg uses the block layer functions for it. There are only five lines for the direct IO. SG_ALLOW_DIO_CODE define was used to compile out the direct IO code but we don't need the define. If someone wants to remove the direct IO code, he can do easily without the define. Signed-off-by:

old sg_rq_end_io() was used to wrap sg_cmd_done during converting sg to use the block layer (in order to cover the difference scsi_execute_async and blk_execute_rq_nowait). Now we don't need it so let's remove it. Signed-off-by:

Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling. Move those bits to the block layer. Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot less timer fiddling. Signed-off-by:

We call flush_disk() to make sure the buffer cache for the disk is flushed after a disk resize. There are two resize cases, growing and shrinking. Given that users can shrink/then grow a disk before revalidate_disk() is called, we treat the grow case identically to shrinking. We need to flush the buffer cache after an online shrink because, as James Bottomley puts it, The two use cases for shrinking I can see are 1. planned: the fs is already shrunk to within the new boundaries and all data is relocated, so invalidate is fine (any dirty buffers that might exist in the shrunk region are there only because they were relocated but not yet written to their original location). 2. unplanned: In this case, the fs is probably toast, so whether we invalidate or not isn't going to make a whole lot of difference; it's still going to try to read or write from sectors beyond the new size and get I/O errors. Immediately invalidating shrunk disks will cause errors for outstanding I/Os for reads/write beyond the new end of the disk to be generated earlier then if we waited for the normal buffer cache operation. It also removes a potential security hole where we might keep old data around from beyond the end of the shrunk disk if the disk was not invalidated.

We need to be able to flush the buffer cache for for more than just when a disk is changed, so we factor out common cache flush code in check_disk_change() to an internal flush_disk() routine. This routine will then be used for both disk changes and disk resizes (in a later patch). Include the disk name in the text indicating that there are busy inodes on the device and increase the KERN severity of the message. Signed-off-by:

Modify the SCSI disk driver to call the revalidate_disk() wrapper. This allows us to do some housekeeping such as accounting for a disk being resized online. The wrapper will call sd_revalidate_disk() at the appropriate time. Signed-off-by:

Check for device resize in the rescan_partitions() routine. If the device has been resized, the bdev size is set to match. The rescan_partitions() routine is called when opening the device and when calling the BLKRRPART ioctl. Signed-off-by:

The revalidate_disk routine now checks if a disk has been resized by comparing the gendisk capacity to the bdev inode size. If they are different (usually because the disk has been resized underneath the kernel) the bdev inode size is adjusted to match the capacity. Signed-off-by:

This is a wrapper for the lower-level revalidate_disk call-backs such as sd_revalidate_disk(). It allows us to perform pre and post operations when calling them. We will use this wrapper in a later patch to adjust block device sizes after an online resize (a _post_ operation). Signed-off-by:

With the older SG interface, we don't know a user-space address to trasfer data when executing a SCSI command. So we can't pass a user-space address to blk_rq_map_user. This patch fixes sg to pass a NULL user-space address to blk_rq_map_user so that it just sets up a request and bios with page frames propely without data transfer. Signed-off-by:

FUJITA Tomonori authored
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.

DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT shuffles SCSI and IDE device numbers and root device number set using rdev become meaningless. Root devices should be explicitly specified using textual names. Warn about it if root can't be found and DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT is enabled. Also, add warning to the help text. Signed-off-by:

bdget_disk() and blk_lookup_devt() never cared whether the specified partition (or disk) is zero sized or not. I got confused while converting those not to depend on consecutive minor numbers in commit 5a6411b1178baf534aa9138052864dfa89d3eada and later when dev0 was added it broke callers which expected to get valid return for zero sized disk devices. So, they never needed nr_sects checks in the first place. Kill them. This problem was spotted and debugged by Bartlmoiej Zolnierkiewicz. Signed-off-by:

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). Signed-off-by:

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). Signed-off-by:

CFQ's detection of queueing devices assumes a non-queuing device and detects if the queue depth reaches a certain threshold. Under some workloads (e.g. synchronous reads), CFQ effectively forces a unit queue depth, thus defeating the detection logic. This leads to poor performance on queuing hardware, since the idle window remains enabled. This patch inverts the sense of the logic: assume a queuing-capable device, and detect if the depth does not exceed the threshold. Signed-off-by:

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: -
