block: Add bio_max_segs

2021-02-26T22:49:51Z

It's often inconvenient to use BIO_MAX_PAGES due to min() requiring the sign to be the same. Introduce bio_max_segs() and change BIO_MAX_PAGES to be unsigned to make it easier for the users. Reviewed-by: Chaitanya Kulkarni Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: add bio_add_zone_append_page

2021-02-08T23:52:19Z

Add bio_add_zone_append_page(), a wrapper around bio_add_hw_page() which is intended to be used by file systems that directly add pages to a bio instead of using bio_iov_iter_get_pages().

block: use bi_max_vecs to find the bvec pool

2021-02-08T15:33:16Z

Instead of encoding of the bvec pool using magic bio flags, just use a helper to find the pool based on the max_vecs value. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: turn the nr_iovecs argument to bio_alloc* into an unsigned short

2021-02-08T15:33:16Z

The bi_max_vecs and bi_vcnt fields are defined as unsigned short, so don't allow passing larger values in. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: move struct biovec_slab to bio.c

2021-02-08T15:33:16Z

struct biovec_slab is only used inside of bio.c, so move it there. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: split bio_kmalloc from bio_alloc_bioset

2021-01-27T16:51:48Z

bio_kmalloc shares almost no logic with the bio_set based fast path in bio_alloc_bioset. Split it into an entirely separate implementation. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn Reviewed-by: Chaitanya Kulkarni Acked-by: Damien Le Moal Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

bio: don't copy bvec for direct IO

2021-01-25T15:58:24Z

The block layer spends quite a while in blkdev_direct_IO() to copy and initialise bio's bvec. However, if we've already got a bvec in the input iterator it might be reused in some cases, i.e. when new ITER_BVEC_FLAG_FIXED flag is set. Simple tests show considerable performance boost, and it also reduces memory footprint.

bio: add a helper calculating nr segments to alloc

2021-01-25T15:58:24Z

Add a helper function calculating the number of bvec segments we need to allocate to construct a bio. It doesn't change anything functionally, but will be used to not duplicate special cases in the future.

block: move three bvec helpers declaration into private helper
