virtio-blk: limit number of hw queues by nr_cpu_ids

2019-04-10T14:18:24Z

When tag_set->nr_maps is 1, the block layer limits the number of hw queues by nr_cpu_ids. No matter how many hw queues are used by virtio-blk, as it has (tag_set->nr_maps == 1), it can use at most nr_cpu_ids hw queues. In addition, specifically for pci scenario, when the 'num-queues' specified by qemu is more than maxcpus, virtio-blk would not be able to allocate more than maxcpus vectors in order to have a vector for each queue. As a result, it falls back into MSI-X with one vector for config and one shared for queues. Considering above reasons, this patch limits the number of hw queues used by virtio-blk by nr_cpu_ids.

virtio-blk: Consider virtio_max_dma_size() for maximum segment size

2019-03-06T16:19:26Z

Segments can't be larger than the maximum DMA mapping size supported on the platform. Take that into account when setting the maximum segment size for a block device.

virtio_blk: add discard and write zeroes support

2018-12-19T23:23:49Z

In commit 88c85538, "virtio-blk: add discard and write zeroes features to specification" (https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec), the virtio block specification has been extended to add VIRTIO_BLK_T_DISCARD and VIRTIO_BLK_T_WRITE_ZEROES commands. This patch enables support for discard and write zeroes in the virtio-blk driver when the device advertises the corresponding features, VIRTIO_BLK_F_DISCARD and VIRTIO_BLK_F_WRITE_ZEROES.

Update device_add_disk() to take an 'groups' argument so that individual drivers can register a device with additional sysfs attributes. This avoids race condition the driver would otherwise have if these groups were to be created with sysfs_add_groups().
