block: fix bio_will_gap() for first bvec with offset

2017-04-14T19:58:29Z

Commit 729204ef49ec("block: relax check on sg gap") allows us to merge bios, if both are physically contiguous. This change can merge a huge number of small bios, through mkfs for example, mkfs.ntfs running time can be decreased to ~1/10. But if one rq starts with a non-aligned buffer (the 1st bvec's bv_offset is non-zero) and if we allow the merge, it is quite difficult to respect sg gap limit, especially the max segment size, or we risk having an unaligned virtual boundary. This patch tries to avoid the issue by disallowing a merge, if the req starts with an unaligned buffer. Also add comments to explain why the merged segment can't end in unaligned virt boundary.

blk-mq: Restart a single queue if tag sets are shared

2017-04-07T18:40:09Z

To improve scalability, if hardware queues are shared, restart a single hardware queue in round-robin fashion. Rename blk_mq_sched_restart_queues() to reflect the new semantics. Remove blk_mq_sched_mark_restart_queue() because this function has no callers. Remove flag QUEUE_FLAG_RESTART because this patch removes the code that uses this flag.

Revert "scsi, block: fix duplicate bdi name registration crashes"

2017-03-08T17:55:17Z

This reverts commit 0dba1314d4f81115dce711292ec7981d17231064. It causes leaking of device numbers for SCSI when SCSI registers multiple gendisks for one request_queue in succession. It can be easily reproduced using Omar's script [1] on kernel with CONFIG_DEBUG_TEST_DRIVER_REMOVE. Furthermore the protection provided by this commit is not needed anymore as the problem it was fixing got also fixed by commit 165a5e22fafb "block: Move bdi_unregister() to del_gendisk()".

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:27Z

We are going to split out of , which will have to be picked up from other headers and .c files. Create a trivial placeholder file that just maps to to make this patch obviously correct and bisectable. Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

block: optionally merge discontiguous discard bios into a single request

2017-02-08T20:43:08Z

Add a new merge strategy that merges discard bios into a request until the maximum number of discard ranges (or the maximum discard size) is reached from the plug merging code. I/O scheduler merging is not wired up yet but might also be useful, although not for fast devices like NVMe which are the only user for now. Note that for now we don't support limiting the size of each discard range, but if needed that can be added later. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

scsi, block: fix duplicate bdi name registration crashes

Warnings of the following form occur because scsi reuses a devt number while the block layer still has it referenced as the name of the bdi [1]: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 93 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x62/0x80 sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/8:192' [..] Call Trace: dump_stack+0x86/0xc3 __warn+0xcb/0xf0 warn_slowpath_fmt+0x5f/0x80 ? kernfs_path_from_node+0x4f/0x60 sysfs_warn_dup+0x62/0x80 sysfs_create_dir_ns+0x77/0x90 kobject_add_internal+0xb2/0x350 kobject_add+0x75/0xd0 device_add+0x15a/0x650 device_create_groups_vargs+0xe0/0xf0 device_create_vargs+0x1c/0x20 bdi_register+0x90/0x240 ? lockdep_init_map+0x57/0x200 bdi_register_owner+0x36/0x60 device_add_disk+0x1bb/0x4e0 ? __pm_runtime_use_autosuspend+0x5c/0x70 sd_probe_async+0x10d/0x1c0 async_run_entry_fn+0x39/0x170 This is a brute-force fix to pass the devt release information from sd_probe() to the locations where we register the bdi, device_add_disk(), and unregister the bdi, blk_cleanup_queue(). Thanks to Omar for the quick reproducer script [2]. This patch survives where an unmodified kernel fails in a few seconds.

block: Dynamically allocate and refcount backing_dev_info

2017-02-02T15:20:50Z

Instead of storing backing_dev_info inside struct request_queue, allocate it dynamically, reference count it, and free it when the last reference is dropped. Currently only request_queue holds the reference but in the following patch we add other users referencing backing_dev_info. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: Use pointer to backing_dev_info from request_queue

2017-02-02T15:20:48Z

We will want to have struct backing_dev_info allocated separately from struct request_queue. As the first step add pointer to backing_dev_info to request_queue and convert all users touching it.
