iov_iter: Separate type from direction and use accessor functions

2018-10-23T23:41:07Z

In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places. Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather then chains of bitwise-AND statements. This makes it easier to add further iterator types. Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions. Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function. The iterator function can set that itself. Only the direction is required. Signed-off-by: David Howells

scsi: target: target/file: Add support of direct and async I/O

2018-05-15T02:40:08Z

There are two advantages: * Direct I/O allows to avoid the write-back cache, so it reduces affects to other processes in the system. * Async I/O allows to handle a few commands concurrently. DIO + AIO shows a better perfomance for random write operations: Mode: O_DSYNC Async: 1 $ ./fio --bs=4K --direct=1 --rw=randwrite --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --name=/dev/sda --runtime=20 --numjobs=2 WRITE: bw=45.9MiB/s (48.1MB/s), 21.9MiB/s-23.0MiB/s (22.0MB/s-25.2MB/s), io=919MiB (963MB), run=20002-20020msec Mode: O_DSYNC Async: 0 $ ./fio --bs=4K --direct=1 --rw=randwrite --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --name=/dev/sdb --runtime=20 --numjobs=2 WRITE: bw=1607KiB/s (1645kB/s), 802KiB/s-805KiB/s (821kB/s-824kB/s), io=31.8MiB (33.4MB), run=20280-20295msec Known issue: DIF (PI) emulation doesn't work when a target uses async I/O, because DIF metadata is saved in a separate file, and it is another non-trivial task how to synchronize writing in two files, so that a following read operation always returns a consisten metadata for a specified block.

target/file: Do not return error for UNMAP if length is zero

2017-11-04T21:45:16Z

The function fd_execute_unmap() in target_core_file.c calles ret = file->f_op->fallocate(file, mode, pos, len); Some filesystems implement fallocate() to return error if length is zero (e.g. btrfs) but according to SCSI Block Commands spec UNMAP should return success for zero length.

target: break up free_device callback

2017-07-07T06:11:37Z

With this patch free_device is now used to free what is allocated in the alloc_device callback and destroy_device tears down the resources that are setup in the configure_device callback. This patch will be needed in the next patch where tcmu needs to be able to look up the device in the destroy callback.

target/fileio: Fix zero-length READ and WRITE handling

This patch fixes zero-length READ and WRITE handling in target/FILEIO, which was broken a long time back by: Since: commit d81cb44726f050d7cf1be4afd9cb45d153b52066 Author: Paolo Bonzini Date: Mon Sep 17 16:36:11 2012 -0700 target: go through normal processing for all zero-length commands which moved zero-length READ and WRITE completion out of target-core, to doing submission into backend driver code. To address this, go ahead and invoke target_complete_cmd() for any non negative return value in fd_do_rw().

tcm: make pi data verification configurable

2017-05-02T05:20:58Z

Currently ramdisk and fileio always perform PI verification before and after backend IO. This approach is not very flexible. Because some one may want to postpone this work to other layers in IO stack.
