block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index

2017-08-23T18:49:55Z

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

block: switch bios to blk_status_t

2017-06-09T15:27:32Z

Replace bi_error with a new bi_status to allow for a clear conversion. Note that device mapper overloaded bi_error with a private value, which we'll have to keep arround at least for now and thus propagate to a proper blk_status_t value. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: replace REQ_NOIDLE with REQ_IDLE

2016-11-01T15:43:26Z

Noidle should be the default for writes as seen by all the compounds definitions in fs.h using it. In fact only direct I/O really should be using NODILE, so turn the whole flag around to get the defaults right, which will make our life much easier especially onces the WRITE_* defines go away. This assumes all the existing "raw" users of REQ_SYNC for writes want noidle behavior, which seems to be spot on from a quick audit. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

dynamic_debug: only add header when used

2016-08-02T23:35:03Z

kernel.h header doesn't directly use dynamic debug, instead we can include it in module.c (which used it via kernel.h). printk.h only uses it if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is on, changing the inclusion to only happen in that case.

drbd: al_write_transaction: skip re-scanning of bitmap page pointer array

2016-06-14T03:43:08Z

For larger devices, the array of bitmap page pointers can grow very large (8000 pointers per TB of storage). For each activity log transaction, we need to flush the associated bitmap pages to stable storage. Currently, we just "mark" the respective pages while setting up the transaction, then tell the bitmap code to write out all marked pages, but skip unchanged pages. But one such transaction can affect only a small number of bitmap pages, there is no need to scan the full array of several (ten-)thousand page pointers to find the few marked ones. Instead, remember the index numbers of the few affected pages, and later only re-check those to skip duplicates and unchanged ones.

drbd: introduce WRITE_SAME support

2016-06-14T03:43:07Z

We will support WRITE_SAME, if * all peers support WRITE_SAME (both in kernel and DRBD version), * all peer devices support WRITE_SAME * logical_block_size is identical on all peers. We may at some point introduce a fallback on the receiving side for devices/kernels that do not support WRITE_SAME, by open-coding a submit loop. But not yet.

drbd: finish resync on sync source only by notification from sync target

2016-06-14T03:43:05Z

If the replication link breaks exactly during "resync finished" detection, finishing too early on the sync source could again lead to UUIDs rotated too fast, and potentially a spurious full resync on next handshake. Always wait for explicit resync finished state change notification from the sync target. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

drbd: allow larger max_discard_sectors

2016-06-14T03:43:05Z

Make sure we have at least 67 (> AL_UPDATES_PER_TRANSACTION) al-extents available, and allow up to half of that to be discarded in one bio. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block, drivers, fs: rename REQ_FLUSH to REQ_PREFLUSH

2016-06-07T19:41:38Z

To avoid confusion between REQ_OP_FLUSH, which is handled by request_fn drivers, and upper layers requesting the block layer perform a flush sequence along with possibly a WRITE, this patch renames REQ_FLUSH to REQ_PREFLUSH.
