block: remove bio_get_nr_vecs()

2015-08-13T18:32:04Z

We can always fill up the bio now, no need to estimate the possible size based on queue parameters. Acked-by: Steven Whitehouse Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet [hch: rebased and wrote a changelog] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Ming Lin Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio

2015-07-29T14:55:15Z

Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

block: Abstract out bvec iterator

2013-11-24T06:33:47Z

Immutable biovecs are going to require an explicit iterator. To implement immutable bvecs, a later patch is going to add a bi_bvec_done member to this struct; for now, this patch effectively just renames things.

block: Convert various code to bio_for_each_segment()

2013-11-24T06:33:46Z

With immutable biovecs we don't want code accessing bi_io_vec directly - the uses this patch changes weren't incorrect since they all own the bio, but it makes the code harder to audit for no good reason - also, this will help with multipage bvecs later.

block: Remove bi_idx references

2013-03-23T21:15:31Z

For immutable bvecs, all bi_idx usage needs to be audited - so here we're removing all the unnecessary uses. Most of these are places where it was being initialized on a bio that was just allocated, a few others are conversions to standard macros. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet CC: Jens Axboe

logfs: query block device for number of pages to send with bio

2012-07-23T05:02:11Z

The block device driver puts a limit on maximum number of pages that can be sent with the bio. Not all block devices can handle BIO_MAX_PAGES number of pages in bio. Specifically the virtio-blk diriver limits it to 126. When the LogFS file system was excersized in KVM, the following bug from do_virtblk_request() was observed static void do_virtblk_request(struct request_queue *q) { .... .... while ((req = blk_peek_request(q)) != NULL) { BUG_ON(req->nr_phys_segments + 2 > vblk->sg_elems); .... .... } .... } The patch fixes the problem by querring the maximum number of pages in bio allowed from block device driver and then using those many pages during submit_bio.

sanitize usage

2011-05-20T19:50:29Z

Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather obscure header file dependency. So this fixes things up a bit, using grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]') grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]') to guide us in finding files that either need inclusion, or have it despite not needing it. There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets many core ones. Reported-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

block: remove per-queue plugging

2011-03-10T07:52:07Z

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging, and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that. So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
