The math in both blk_stack_limits() and queue_limit_alignment_offset() assume that a block device's io_min (aka minimum_io_size) is always a power-of-2. Fix the math such that it works for non-power-of-2 io_min. This issue (of alignment_offset != 0) became apparent when testing dm-thinp with a thinp blocksize that matches a RAID6 stripesize of 1280K. Commit fdfb4c8c ("dm thin: set minimum_io_size to pool's data block size") unlocked the potential for alignment_offset != 0 due to the dm-thin-pool's io_min possibly being a non-power-of-2.

We currently divide the queue depth by 4 as our batch wakeup count, but we split the wakeups over BT_WAIT_QUEUES number of wait queues. This defaults to 8. If the product of the resulting batch wake count and BT_WAIT_QUEUES is higher than the device queue depth, we can get into a situation where a task goes to sleep waiting for a request, but never gets woken up.

Users of bio_clone_fast() do not want bios with their own bvecs. Allocating a bvec mempool as part of the bioset intended for such users is a waste of memory. bioset_create_nobvec() creates a bioset that doesn't have the bvec mempool.

Request cloning clones bios in the request to track the completion of each bio. For that purpose, we can use bio_clone_fast() instead of bio_clone() to avoid unnecessary allocation and copy of bvecs. This patch reduces memory footprint of request-based device-mapper (about 1-4KB for each request) and is a preparation for further reduction of memory usage by removing unused bvec mempool.

A set of flags introduced in the block layer enable better control over how protection information is handled. These flags are useful for both error injection and data recovery purposes. Checking can be enabled and disabled for controller and disk, and the guard tag format is now a per-I/O property. Update sd_protect_op to communicate the relevant information to the low-level device driver via a set of flags in scsi_cmnd. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

The kernel used to contain two functions for length-delimited, case-insensitive string comparison, strnicmp with correct semantics and a slightly buggy strncasecmp. The latter is the POSIX name, so strnicmp was renamed to strncasecmp, and strnicmp made into a wrapper for the new strncasecmp to avoid breaking existing users. To allow the compat wrapper strnicmp to be removed at some point in the future, and to avoid the extra indirection cost, do s/strnicmp/strncasecmp/g.

Make the choice of checksum a per-I/O property by introducing a flag that can be inspected by the SCSI layer. There are several reasons for this: 1. It allows us to switch choice of checksum without unloading and reloading the HBA driver. 2. During error recovery we need to be able to tell the HBA that checksums read from disk should not be verified and converted to IP checksums. 3. For error injection purposes we need to be able to write a bad guard tag to storage. Since the storage device only supports T10 CRC we need to be able to disable IP checksum conversion on the HBA.

The protection interval is not necessarily tied to the logical block size of a block device. Stop using the terms "sector" and "sectors". Going forward we will use the term "seed" to describe the initial reference tag value for a given I/O. "Interval" will be used to describe the portion of the data buffer that a given piece of protection information is associated with. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

For commands like REQ_COPY we need a way to pass extra information along with each bio. Like integrity metadata this information must be available at the bottom of the stack so bi_private does not suffice. Rename the existing bi_integrity field to bi_special and make it a union so we can have different bio extensions for each class of command. We previously used bi_integrity != NULL as a way to identify whether a bio had integrity metadata or not. Introduce a REQ_INTEGRITY to be the indicator now that bi_special can contain different things. In addition, bio_integrity(bio) will now return a pointer to the integrity payload (when applicable).

This patch supports to run one single flush machinery for each blk-mq dispatch queue, so that: - current init_request and exit_request callbacks can cover flush request too, then the buggy copying way of initializing flush request's pdu can be fixed - flushing performance gets improved in case of multi hw-queue In fio sync write test over virtio-blk(4 hw queues, ioengine=sync, iodepth=64, numjobs=4, bs=4K), it is observed that througput gets increased a lot over my test environment: - throughput: +70% in case of virtio-blk over null_blk - throughput: +30% in case of virtio-blk over SSD image The multi virtqueue feature isn't merged to QEMU yet, and patches for the feature can be found in below tree: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ming/qemu.git v2.1.0-mq.4 And simply passing 'num_queues=4 vectors=5' should be enough to enable multi queue(quad queue) feature for QEMU virtio-blk.

This patch adds 'blk_mq_ctx' parameter to blk_get_flush_queue(), so that this function can find the corresponding blk_flush_queue bound with current mq context since the flush queue will become per hw-queue. For legacy queue, the parameter can be simply 'NULL'. For multiqueue case, the parameter should be set as the context from which the related request is originated. With this context info, the hw queue and related flush queue can be found easily. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

Commit 8cb34819cdd5d(blk-mq: unshared timeout handler) introduces blk-mq's own timeout handler, and removes following line: blk_queue_rq_timed_out(q, blk_mq_rq_timed_out); which then causes blk_add_timer() to bypass adding the timer, since blk-mq no longer has q->rq_timed_out_fn defined. This patch fixes the problem by bypassing the check for blk-mq, so that both request deadlines are still set and the rolling timer updated.

It's not uncommon for crash dump kernels to be limited to 128MB or something low in that area. This is normally not a problem for devices as we don't use that much memory, but for some shared SCSI setups with huge queue depths, it can potentially fill most of memory with tons of request allocations. blk-mq does scale back when it fails to allocate memory, but it scales back just enough so that blk-mq succeeds. This could still leave the system with not enough memory to make any real progress. Check if we are in a kdump environment and limit the hardware queues and tag depth.

This patch removes two unnecessary blk_clear_rq_complete(), the REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE flag is cleared inside blk_mq_start_request(), so: - The blk_clear_rq_complete() in blk_flush_restore_request() needn't because the request will be freed later, and clearing it here may open a small race window with timeout. - The blk_clear_rq_complete() in blk_mq_requeue_request() isn't necessary too, even though REQ_ATOM_STARTED is cleared in __blk_mq_requeue_request(), in theory it still may cause a small race window with timeout since the two clear_bit() may be reordered.

Don't do a kmalloc from timer to handle timeouts, chances are we could be under heavy load or similar and thus just miss out on the timeouts. Fortunately it is very easy to just iterate over all in use tags, and doing this properly actually cleans up the blk_mq_busy_iter API as well, and prepares us for the next patch by passing a reserved argument to the iterator.
