block: add a lower-level bio_add_page interface

2019-07-03T11:15:58Z

[ Upstream commit 0aa69fd32a5f766e997ca8ab4723c5a1146efa8b ] For the upcoming removal of buffer heads in XFS we need to keep track of the number of outstanding writeback requests per page. For this we need to know if bio_add_page merged a region with the previous bvec or not. Instead of adding additional arguments this refactors bio_add_page to be implemented using three lower level helpers which users like XFS can use directly if they care about the merge decisions.

block-throttle: avoid double charge

2017-12-29T16:53:47Z

commit 111be883981748acc9a56e855c8336404a8e787c upstream. If a bio is throttled and split after throttling, the bio could be resubmited and enters the throttling again. This will cause part of the bio to be charged multiple times. If the cgroup has an IO limit, the double charge will significantly harm the performance. The bio split becomes quite common after arbitrary bio size change. To fix this, we always set the BIO_THROTTLED flag if a bio is throttled. If the bio is cloned/split, we copy the flag to new bio too to avoid a double charge. However, cloned bio could be directed to a new disk, keeping the flag be a problem. The observation is we always set new disk for the bio in this case, so we can clear the flag in bio_set_dev(). This issue exists for a long time, arbitrary bio size change just makes it worse, so this should go into stable at least since v4.2.

mm: test code to write THP to swap device as a whole

2017-09-07T00:27:28Z

To support delay splitting THP (Transparent Huge Page) after swapped out, we need to enhance swap writing code to support to write a THP as a whole. This will improve swap write IO performance. As Ming Lei pointed out, this should be based on multipage bvec support, which hasn't been merged yet. So this patch is only for testing the functionality of the other patches in the series. And will be reimplemented after multipage bvec support is merged. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170724051840.2309-7-ying.huang@intel.com Signed-off-by: "Huang, Ying" Cc: "Kirill A .

block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index

2017-08-23T18:49:55Z

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

bio: add bvec_iter rewind API

2017-07-03T22:56:28Z

Some ->bi_end_io handlers (for example: pi_verify or decrypt handlers) need to know original data vector, but after bio traverse io-stack it may be advanced, splited and relocated many times so it is hard to guess original iterator. Let's add 'bi_done' conter which accounts number of bytes iterator was advanced during it's evolution. Later end_io handler may easily restore original iterator by rewinding iterator to iter->bi_done.
