dm integrity: fix flush with external metadata device

2021-01-19T17:27:22Z

commit 9b5948267adc9e689da609eb61cf7ed49cae5fa8 upstream. With external metadata device, flush requests are not passed down to the data device. Fix this by submitting the flush request in dm_integrity_flush_buffers. In order to not degrade performance, we overlap the data device flush with the metadata device flush.

dm bufio: introduce forget_buffer_locked

2020-06-05T18:59:41Z

Introduce a function forget_buffer_locked that forgets a range of buffers. It is more efficient than calling forget_buffer in a loop. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm bufio: delete unused and inefficient dm_bufio_discard_buffers

2020-06-05T00:57:38Z

There is no user for this interface. If in future it is needed it can be reimplemented to walk the rbtree of buffers instead of doing block-by-block lookups. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm bufio: implement discard

2020-05-15T14:29:35Z

Add functions dm_bufio_issue_discard and dm_bufio_discard_buffers. dm_bufio_issue_discard sends discard request to the underlying device. dm_bufio_discard_buffers frees buffers in the range and then calls dm_bufio_issue_discard. Also, factor out block_to_sector for reuse in dm_bufio_issue_discard. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm bufio: move dm-bufio.h to include/linux/

2018-04-03T19:04:23Z

Move dm-bufio.h to include/linux/ so that external GPL'd DM target modules can use it. It is better to allow the use of dm-bufio than force external modules to implement the equivalent buffered IO mechanism in some new way. The hope is this will encourage the use of dm-bufio; which will then make it easier for a GPL'd external DM target module to be included upstream. A couple dm-bufio EXPORT_SYMBOL exports have also been updated to use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer
