block: add blk_queue_dead()

2012-08-02T13:37:54Z

commit 34f6055c80285e4efb3f602a9119db75239744dc upstream. There are a number of QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD tests. Add blk_queue_dead() macro and use it. This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Ben Hutchings

block: fix request_queue lifetime handling by making blk_queue_cleanup() properly shutdown

2011-10-19T12:42:16Z

request_queue is refcounted but actually depdends on lifetime management from the queue owner - on blk_cleanup_queue(), block layer expects that there's no request passing through request_queue and no new one will. This is fundamentally broken. The queue owner (e.g. SCSI layer) doesn't have a way to know whether there are other active users before calling blk_cleanup_queue() and other users (e.g. bsg) don't have any guarantee that the queue is and would stay valid while it's holding a reference. With delay added in blk_queue_bio() before queue_lock is grabbed, the following oops can be easily triggered when a device is removed with in-flight IOs. sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Stopping disk ata1.01: disabled general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP CPU 2 Modules linked in: Pid: 648, comm: test_rawio Not tainted 3.1.0-rc3-work+ #56 Bochs Bochs RIP: 0010:[] [] elv_rqhash_find+0x61/0x100 ...

Similar problem exists for blk-throtl. On queue cleanup, blk-throtl is shutdown whether it has requests in it or not. Depending on timing, it either oopses or throttled bios are lost putting tasks which are waiting for bio completion into eternal D state. The way it should work is having the usual clear distinction between shutdown and release. Shutdown drains all currently pending requests, marks the queue dead, and performs partial teardown of the now unnecessary part of the queue. Even after shutdown is complete, reference holders are still allowed to issue requests to the queue although they will be immmediately failed. The rest of teardown happens on release. This patch makes the following changes to make blk_queue_cleanup() behave as proper shutdown. * QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is now set while holding both q->exit_mutex and queue_lock. * Unsynchronized DEAD check in generic_make_request_checks() removed. This couldn't make any meaningful difference as the queue could die after the check. * blk_drain_queue() updated such that it can drain all requests and is now called during cleanup. * blk_throtl updated such that it checks DEAD on grabbing queue_lock, drains all throttled bios during cleanup and free td when queue is released.

block: Free queue resources at blk_release_queue()

2011-09-28T14:07:01Z

A kernel crash is observed when a mounted ext3/ext4 filesystem is physically removed. The problem is that blk_cleanup_queue() frees up some resources eg by calling elevator_exit(), which are not checked for in normal operation. So we should rather move these calls to the destructor function blk_release_queue() as at that point all remaining references are gone. However, in doing so we have to ensure that any externally supplied queue_lock is disconnected as the driver might free up the lock after the call of blk_cleanup_queue(), Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: Fix queue_flag update when rq_affinity goes from 2 to 1

2011-08-24T06:51:34Z

Commit 5757a6d76cdf added the QUEUE_FLAG_SAME_FORCE flag, but fails to clear that flag when the current state is '2' (SAME_COMP + SAME_FORCE) and the new state is '1' (SAME_COMP). Acked-by: Dan Williams Reviewed-by: Roland Dreier Signed-off-by: Eric Seppanen Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: strict rq_affinity

2011-07-23T18:44:25Z

Some systems benefit from completions always being steered to the strict requester cpu rather than the looser "per-socket" steering that blk_cpu_to_group() attempts by default. This is because the first CPU in the group mask ends up being completely overloaded with work, while the others (including the original submitter) has power left to spare. Allow the strict mode to be set by writing '2' to the sysfs control file. This is identical to the scheme used for the nomerges file, where '2' is a more aggressive setting than just being turned on. echo 2 > /sys/block//queue/rq_affinity Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Roland Dreier Tested-by: Dave Jiang Signed-off-by: Dan Williams Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Merge commit 'v2.6.39' into for-2.6.40/core

2011-05-20T18:33:15Z

Since for-2.6.40/core was forked off the 2.6.39 devel tree, we've had churn in the core area that makes it difficult to handle patches for eg cfq or blk-throttle. Instead of requiring that they be based in older versions with bugs that have been fixed later in the rc cycle, merge in 2.6.39 final. Also fixes up conflicts in the below files.

block: Fix discard topology stacking and reporting

2011-05-18T08:37:35Z

In some cases we would end up stacking discard_zeroes_data incorrectly. Fix this by enabling the feature by default for stacking drivers and clearing it for low-level drivers. Incorporating a device that does not support dzd will then cause the feature to be disabled in the stacking driver. Also ensure that the maximum discard value does not overflow when exported in sysfs and return 0 in the alignment and dzd fields for devices that don't support discard.

block: Remove the extra check in queue_requests_store

2011-04-19T11:51:53Z

In queue_requests_store, the code looks like if (rl->count[BLK_RW_SYNC] >= q->nr_requests) { blk_set_queue_full(q, BLK_RW_SYNC); } else if (rl->count[BLK_RW_SYNC]+1 <= q->nr_requests) { blk_clear_queue_full(q, BLK_RW_SYNC); wake_up(&rl->wait[BLK_RW_SYNC]); } If we don't satify the situation of "if", we can get that rl->count[BLK_RW_SYNC} < q->nr_quests. It is the same as rl->count[BLK_RW_SYNC]+1 <= q->nr_requests. All the "else" should satisfy the "else if" check so it isn't needed actually. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
