dm bufio: Add DM_BUFIO_CLIENT_NO_SLEEP flag

2022-07-28T21:46:14Z

Add an optional flag that ensures dm_bufio_client does not sleep (primary focus is to service dm_bufio_get without sleeping). This allows the dm-bufio cache to be queried from interrupt context. To ensure that dm-bufio does not sleep, dm-bufio must use a spinlock instead of a mutex. Additionally, to avoid deadlocks, special care must be taken so that dm-bufio does not sleep while holding the spinlock. But again: the scope of this no_sleep is initially confined to dm_bufio_get, so __alloc_buffer_wait_no_callback is _not_ changed to avoid sleeping because __bufio_new avoids allocation for NF_GET.

dm bufio: Add flags argument to dm_bufio_client_create

2022-07-28T21:46:14Z

Add a flags argument to dm_bufio_client_create and update all the callers. This is in preparation to add the DM_BUFIO_NO_SLEEP flag. Signed-off-by: Nathan Huckleberry Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer

dm integrity: fix flush with external metadata device

2021-01-08T20:57:29Z

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
