And also remove the unused bdev argument. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: pass iov_iter to the BLOCK_PC mapping functions

2015-02-05T16:30:40Z

Make use of a new interface provided by iov_iter, backed by scatter-gather list of iovec, instead of the old interface based on sg_iovec. Also use iov_iter_advance() instead of manual iteration. This commit should contain only literal replacements, without functional changes. Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Doug Gilbert Cc: "James E.J.

blk: introduce generic io stat accounting help function

2014-11-24T15:04:44Z

Many block drivers accounting io stat based on bio (e.g. NVMe...), the blk_account_io_start/end() which is based on request does not make sense to them, so here we introduce the similar help function named generic_start/end_io_acct base on raw sectors, and it can simplify some driver's open io accounting code.

block: add bioset_create_nobvec()

2014-10-03T21:28:18Z

Users of bio_clone_fast() do not want bios with their own bvecs. Allocating a bvec mempool as part of the bioset intended for such users is a waste of memory. bioset_create_nobvec() creates a bioset that doesn't have the bvec mempool.

sd: Honor block layer integrity handling flags

2014-09-30T21:17:35Z

A set of flags introduced in the block layer enable better control over how protection information is handled. These flags are useful for both error injection and data recovery purposes. Checking can be enabled and disabled for controller and disk, and the guard tag format is now a per-I/O property. Update sd_protect_op to communicate the relevant information to the low-level device driver via a set of flags in scsi_cmnd. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

block: Integrity checksum flag

2014-09-27T15:14:55Z

Make the choice of checksum a per-I/O property by introducing a flag that can be inspected by the SCSI layer. There are several reasons for this: 1. It allows us to switch choice of checksum without unloading and reloading the HBA driver. 2. During error recovery we need to be able to tell the HBA that checksums read from disk should not be verified and converted to IP checksums. 3. For error injection purposes we need to be able to write a bad guard tag to storage. Since the storage device only supports T10 CRC we need to be able to disable IP checksum conversion on the HBA.

block: Relocate bio integrity flags

Move flags affecting the integrity code out of the bio bi_flags and into the block integrity payload. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen Reviewed-by: Sagi Grimberg Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: Clean up the code used to generate and verify integrity metadata

2014-09-27T15:14:51Z

Instead of the "operate" parameter we pass in a seed value and a pointer to a function that can be used to process the integrity metadata. The generation function is changed to have a return value to fit into this scheme. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen Reviewed-by: Sagi Grimberg Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
