block: Allow t10-pi to be modular

2020-01-07T03:59:04Z

Currently t10-pi can only be built into the block layer which via crc-t10dif pulls in a whole chunk of the Crypto API. In fact all users of t10-pi work as modules and there is no reason for it to always be built-in. This patch adds a new hidden option for t10-pi that is selected automatically based on BLK_DEV_INTEGRITY and whether the users of t10-pi are built-in or not.

blk-cgroup: separate out blkg_rwstat under CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP_RWSTAT

2019-11-07T19:28:13Z

blkg_rwstat is now only used by bfq-iosched and blk-throtl when on cgroup1. Let's move it into its own files and gate it behind a config option. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blkcg: implement blk-iocost

2019-08-29T03:17:12Z

This patchset implements IO cost model based work-conserving proportional controller. While io.latency provides the capability to comprehensively prioritize and protect IOs depending on the cgroups, its protection is binary - the lowest latency target cgroup which is suffering is protected at the cost of all others. In many use cases including stacking multiple workload containers in a single system, it's necessary to distribute IO capacity with better granularity. One challenge of controlling IO resources is the lack of trivially observable cost metric. The most common metrics - bandwidth and iops - can be off by orders of magnitude depending on the device type and IO pattern. However, the cost isn't a complete mystery. Given several key attributes, we can make fairly reliable predictions on how expensive a given stream of IOs would be, at least compared to other IO patterns. The function which determines the cost of a given IO is the IO cost model for the device. This controller distributes IO capacity based on the costs estimated by such model. The more accurate the cost model the better but the controller adapts based on IO completion latency and as long as the relative costs across differents IO patterns are consistent and sensible, it'll adapt to the actual performance of the device. Currently, the only implemented cost model is a simple linear one with a few sets of default parameters for different classes of device. This covers most common devices reasonably well. All the infrastructure to tune and add different cost models is already in place and a later patch will also allow using bpf progs for cost models. Please see the top comment in blk-iocost.c and documentation for more details. v2: Rebased on top of RQ_ALLOC_TIME changes and folded in Rik's fix for a divide-by-zero bug in current_hweight() triggered by zero inuse_sum.

blk-mq: add optional request->alloc_time_ns

2019-08-29T03:17:10Z

There are currently two start time timestamps - start_time_ns and io_start_time_ns. The former marks the request allocation and and the second issue-to-device time. The planned io.weight controller needs to measure the total time bios take to execute after it leaves rq_qos including the time spent waiting for request to become available, which can easily dominate on saturated devices. This patch adds request->alloc_time_ns which records when the request allocation attempt started. As it isn't used for the usual stats, make it optional behind CONFIG_BLK_RQ_ALLOC_TIME and QUEUE_FLAG_RQ_ALLOC_TIME so that it can be compiled out when there are no users and it's active only on queues which need it even when compiled in. v2: s/pre_start_time/alloc_time/ and add CONFIG_BLK_RQ_ALLOC_TIME gating as suggested by Jens.

docs: block: convert to ReST

2019-07-15T12:20:27Z

Rename the block documentation files to ReST, add an index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html output via the Sphinx build system. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

2019-06-14T20:29:54Z

Convert the cgroup-v1 files to ReST format, in order to allow a later addition to the admin-guide. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups.

block: force select mq-deadline for zoned block devices

2019-06-13T09:00:31Z

In most use cases of zoned block devices (aka SMR disks), the mq-deadline scheduler is mandatory as it implements sequential write command processing guarantees with zone write locking. So make sure that this scheduler is always enabled if CONFIG_BLK_DEV_ZONED is selected.

block: remove CONFIG_LBDAF

2019-04-06T16:48:35Z

Currently support for 64-bit sector_t and blkcnt_t is optional on 32-bit architectures. These types are required to support block device and/or file sizes larger than 2 TiB, and have generally defaulted to on for a long time. Enabling the option only increases the i386 tinyconfig size by 145 bytes, and many data structures already always use 64-bit values for their in-core and on-disk data structures anyway, so there should not be a large change in dynamic memory usage either. Dropping this option removes a somewhat weird non-default config that has cause various bugs or compiler warnings when actually used. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
