block: introduce new block status code type

2017-06-09T15:27:32Z

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later. For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging fruite to improve it. blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

block: remove the blk_execute_rq return value

2017-04-20T18:16:10Z

The function only returns -EIO if rq->errors is non-zero, which is not very useful and lets a large number of callers ignore the return value. Just let the callers figure out their error themselves.

block: introduce blk_rq_is_passthrough

2017-01-31T21:00:34Z

This can be used to check for fs vs non-fs requests and basically removes all knowledge of BLOCK_PC specific from the block layer, as well as preparing for removing the cmd_type field in struct request. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: split scsi_request out of struct request

2017-01-27T22:08:35Z

And require all drivers that want to support BLOCK_PC to allocate it as the first thing of their private data. To support this the legacy IDE and BSG code is switched to set cmd_size on their queues to let the block layer allocate the additional space.

blk-mq-sched: add flush insertion into blk_mq_sched_insert_request()

2017-01-27T16:03:14Z

Instead of letting the caller check this and handle the details of inserting a flush request, put the logic in the scheduler insertion function. This fixes direct flush insertion outside of the usual make_request_fn calls, like from dm via blk_insert_cloned_request(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blk-mq-sched: add framework for MQ capable IO schedulers

2017-01-17T17:04:20Z

This adds a set of hooks that intercepts the blk-mq path of allocating/inserting/issuing/completing requests, allowing us to develop a scheduler within that framework. We reuse the existing elevator scheduler API on the registration side, but augment that with the scheduler flagging support for the blk-mq interfce, and with a separate set of ops hooks for MQ devices. We split driver and scheduler tags, so we can run the scheduling independently of device queue depth. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Reviewed-by: Bart Van Assche Reviewed-by: Omar Sandoval

block: split out request-only flags into a new namespace

2016-10-28T14:45:17Z

A lot of the REQ_* flags are only used on struct requests, and only of use to the block layer and a few drivers that dig into struct request internals. This patch adds a new req_flags_t rq_flags field to struct request for them, and thus dramatically shrinks the number of common requests. It also removes the unfortunate situation where we have to fit the fields from the same enum into 32 bits for struct bio and 64 bits for struct request.

block: move PM request support to IDE

2015-05-05T19:40:42Z

This removes the request types and hacks from the block code and into the old IDE driver. There is a small amunt of code duplication due to this, but it's not too bad. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
