      block: fix bounce_end_io · 99451879
      Ming Lei authored
      
      When bio bounce is involved, one new bio and its biovecs are
      cloned from the comming bio, which can be one fast-cloned bio
      from upper layer(such as dm).
      
      So it is obviously wrong to assume the start index of the coming(
      original) bio's io vector is zero, which can be any value between
      0 and (bi_max_vecs - 1), especially in case of bio split.
      
      This patch fixes Fedora's booting oops on i386, often with the
      following kernel log together:

      block: manipulate bio->bi_flags through helpers · b7c44ed9
      Jens Axboe authored
      
      Some places use helpers now, others don't. We only have the 'is set'
      helper, add helpers for setting and clearing flags too.
      
      It was a bit of a mess of atomic vs non-atomic access. With
      BIO_UPTODATE gone, we don't have any risk of concurrent access to the
      flags. So relax the restriction and don't make any of them atomic. The
      flags that do have serialization issues (reffed and chained), we
      already handle those separately.

      block: add a bi_error field to struct bio · 4246a0b6
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      
      Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:
      
       (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
       (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback
      
      The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
      error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
      when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
      bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
      available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
      and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
      them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
      of error returns.
      
      So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
      bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

      writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h · 66114cad
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related
      declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup;
      unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h
      makes cyclic include dependency quite likely.
      
      This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the
      essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it.  c files
      which need access to more backing-dev details now include
      backing-dev.h directly.  This takes backing-dev.h off the common
      include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block
      and cgroup.
      
      v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

      mm: make snapshotting pages for stable writes a per-bio operation · 71368511
      Darrick J. Wong authored
      
      Walking a bio's page mappings has proved problematic, so create a new
      bio flag to indicate that a bio's data needs to be snapshotted in order
      to guarantee stable pages during writeback.  Next, for the one user
      (ext3/jbd) of snapshotting, hook all the places where writes can be
      initiated without PG_writeback set, and set BIO_SNAP_STABLE there.
      
      We must also flag journal "metadata" bios for stable writeout, since
      file data can be written through the journal.  Finally, the
      MS_SNAP_STABLE mount flag (only used by ext3) is now superfluous, so get
      rid of it.

      Kent Overstreet authored
      
      More prep work for immutable bvecs:
      
      A few places in the code were either open coding or using the wrong
      version - fix.
      
      After we introduce the bvec iter, it'll no longer be possible to modify
      the biovec through bio_for_each_segment_all() - it doesn't increment a
      pointer to the current bvec, you pass in a struct bio_vec (not a
      pointer) which is updated with what the current biovec would be (taking
      into account bi_bvec_done and bi_size).
      
      So because of that it's more worthwhile to be consistent about
      bio_for_each_segment()/bio_for_each_segment_all() usage.

      block: Add bio_for_each_segment_all() · d74c6d51
      Kent Overstreet authored
      
      __bio_for_each_segment() iterates bvecs from the specified index
      instead of bio->bv_idx.  Currently, the only usage is to walk all the
      bvecs after the bio has been advanced by specifying 0 index.
      
      For immutable bvecs, we need to split these apart;
      bio_for_each_segment() is going to have a different implementation.
      This will also help document the intent of code that's using it -
      bio_for_each_segment_all() is only legal to use for code that owns the
      bio.

      bounce: Refactor __blk_queue_bounce to not use bi_io_vec · 6bc454d1
      Kent Overstreet authored
      
      A bunch of what __blk_queue_bounce() was doing was problematic for the
      immutable bvec work; this cleans that up and the code is quite a bit
      smaller, too.
      
      The __bio_for_each_segment() in copy_to_high_bio_irq() was changed
      because that one's looping over the original bio, not the bounce bio -
      a later patch renames __bio_for_each_segment() ->
      bio_for_each_segment_all(), and documents that
      bio_for_each_segment_all() is only for code that owns the bio.

      block: optionally snapshot page contents to provide stable pages during write · ffecfd1a
      Darrick J. Wong authored
      
      This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without
      needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling
      schemes of jbd2.  The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot
      page contents instead of waiting.
      
      For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking
      (which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and
      setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock
      dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude.  If we're
      going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the
      complaints about high latency will likely return.  We might as well
      centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

      block: initialize the bounce pool if high memory may be added later · 3bcfeaf9
      David Vrabel authored
      
      init_emergency_pool() does not create the page pool for bouncing block
      requests if the current count of high pages is zero.  If high memory
      may be added later (either via memory hotplug or a balloon driver in a
      virtualized system) then a oops occurs if a request with a high page
      need bouncing because the pool does not exist.
      
      So, always create the pool if memory hotplug is enabled and change the
      test so it's valid even if all high pages are currently in the balloon
      (the balloon drivers adjust totalhigh_pages but not max_pfn).

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        bloc...

      tracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT() · 55782138
      Li Zefan authored
      
      TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
      these new capabilities to this tracepoint:
      
        - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
        - binary tracing without printf overhead
        - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
        - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
        - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
        ...
      
      Cons:
      
        - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
          no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
          no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.
      
          This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
          But this may change in the future.
      
        - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
          While blktrace do the convertion just before output.
      
          Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.
      
        - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
          has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.
      
          The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().
      
      I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:
      
            dd                   dd + ioctl blktrace       dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
      1     7.36s, 42.7 MB/s     7.50s, 42.0 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
      2     7.43s, 42.3 MB/s     7.48s, 42.1 MB/s          7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
      3     7.38s, 42.6 MB/s     7.45s, 42.2 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
      
      So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
      those trace events vs blktrace.
      
      And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:
      
       # ls -l -h
       -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
       -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1
       -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.7M 06-09 13:25 trace_splice.out

      block: blk_max_pfn is somtimes wrong · f772b3d9
      Vasily Tarasov authored
      
      There is a small problem in handling page bounce.
      
      At the moment blk_max_pfn equals max_pfn, which is in fact not maximum
      possible _number_ of a page frame, but the _amount_ of page frames.  For
      example for the 32bit x86 node with 4Gb RAM, max_pfn = 0x100000, but not
      0xFFFF.
      
      request_queue structure has a member q->bounce_pfn and queue needs bounce
      pages for the pages _above_ this limit.  This routine is handled by
      blk_queue_bounce(), where the following check is produced:
      
      	if (q->bounce_pfn >= blk_max_pfn)
      		return;
      
      Assume, that a driver has set q->bounce_pfn to 0xFFFF, but blk_max_pfn
      equals 0x10000.  In such situation the check above fails and for each bio
      we always fall down for iterating over pages tied to the bio.
      
      I want to notice, that for quite a big range of device drivers (ide, md,
      ...) such problem doesn't happen because they use BLK_BOUNCE_ANY for
      bounce_pfn.  BLK_BOUNCE_ANY is defined as blk_max_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT, and
      then the check above doesn't fail.  But for other drivers, which obtain
      reuired value from drivers, it fails.  For example sata_nv uses
      ATA_DMA_MASK or dev->dma_mask.
      
      I propose to use (max_pfn - 1) for blk_max_pfn.  And the same for
      blk_max_low_pfn.  The patch also cleanses some checks related with
      bounce_pfn.
