block: don't ignore REQ_NOWAIT for direct IO

2021-04-16T09:43:21Z

[ Upstream commit f8b78caf21d5bc3fcfc40c18898f9d52ed1451a5 ] If IOCB_NOWAIT is set on submission, then that needs to get propagated to REQ_NOWAIT on the block side. Otherwise we completely lose this information, and any issuer of IOCB_NOWAIT IO will potentially end up blocking on eg request allocation on the storage side.

block: clear GD_NEED_PART_SCAN later in bdev_disk_changed

2021-04-10T11:36:09Z

[ Upstream commit 5116784039f0421e9a619023cfba3e302c3d9adc ] The GD_NEED_PART_SCAN is set by bdev_check_media_change to initiate a partition scan while removing a block device. It should be cleared after blk_drop_paritions because blk_drop_paritions could return -EBUSY and then the consequence __blkdev_get has no chance to do delete_partition if GD_NEED_PART_SCAN already cleared. It causes some problems on some card readers. Ex. Realtek card reader 0bda:0328 and 0bda:0158. The device node of the partition will not disappear after the memory card removed. Thus the user applications can not update the device mapping correctly.

block: Try to handle busy underlying device on discard

2021-03-17T16:06:27Z

commit 56887cffe946bb0a90c74429fa94d6110a73119d upstream. Commit 384d87ef2c95 ("block: Do not discard buffers under a mounted filesystem") made paths issuing discard or zeroout requests to the underlying device try to grab block device in exclusive mode. If that failed we returned EBUSY to userspace. This however caused unexpected fallout in userspace where e.g. FUSE filesystems issue discard requests from userspace daemons although the device is open exclusively by the kernel. Also shrinking of logical volume by LVM issues discard requests to a device which may be claimed exclusively because there's another LV on the same PV. So to avoid these userspace regressions, fall back to invalidate_inode_pages2_range() instead of returning EBUSY to userspace and return EBUSY only of that call fails as well (meaning that there's indeed someone using the particular device range we are trying to discard).

Revert "block: simplify set_init_blocksize" to regain lost performance

2021-02-03T22:28:45Z

commit 8dc932d3e8afb65e12eba7495f046c83884c49bf upstream. The cited commit introduced a serious regression with SATA write speed, as found by bisecting. This patch reverts this commit, which restores write speed back to the values observed before this commit. The performance tests were done on a Helios4 NAS (2nd batch) with 4 HDDs (WD8003FFBX) using dd (bs=1M count=2000). "Direct" is a test with a single HDD, the rest are different RAID levels built over the first partitions of 4 HDDs. Test results are in MB/s, R is read, W is write. | Direct | RAID0 | RAID10 f2 | RAID10 n2 | RAID6 ----------------+--------+-------+-----------+-----------+-------- 9011495c9466 | R:256 | R:313 | R:276 | R:313 | R:323 (before faulty) | W:254 | W:253 | W:195 | W:204 | W:117 ----------------+--------+-------+-----------+-----------+-------- 5ff9f19231a0 | R:257 | R:398 | R:312 | R:344 | R:391 (faulty commit) | W:154 | W:122 | W:67.7 | W:66.6 | W:67.2 ----------------+--------+-------+-----------+-----------+-------- 5.10.10 | R:256 | R:401 | R:312 | R:356 | R:375 unpatched | W:149 | W:123 | W:64 | W:64.1 | W:61.5 ----------------+--------+-------+-----------+-----------+-------- 5.10.10 | R:255 | R:396 | R:312 | R:340 | R:393 patched | W:247 | W:274 | W:220 | W:225 | W:121 Applying this patch doesn't hurt read performance, while improves the write speed by 1.5x - 3.5x (more impact on RAID tests). The write speed is restored back to the state before the faulty commit, and even a bit higher in RAID tests (which aren't HDD-bound on this device) - that is likely related to other optimizations done between the faulty commit and 5.10.10 which also improved the read speed.
