block: simplify queue allocation

2020-03-27T16:23:43+00:00

Current make_request based drivers use either blk_alloc_queue_node or
blk_alloc_queue to allocate a queue, and then set up the make_request_fn
function pointer and a few parameters using the blk_queue_make_request
helper.  Simplify this by passing the make_request pointer to
blk_alloc_queue, and while at it merge the _node variant into the main
helper by always passing a node_id, and remove the superfluous gfp_mask
parameter.  A lower-level __blk_alloc_queue is kept for the blk-mq case.

block: move the part_stat* helpers from genhd.h to a new header

2020-03-25T15:50:09+00:00

These macros are just used by a few files.  Move them out of genhd.h,
which is included everywhere into a new standalone header.

drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c: fix error return codes not being returned in writeback_store

2020-01-31T18:30:39+00:00

Currently when an error code -EIO or -ENOSPC in the for-loop of
writeback_store the error code is being overwritten by a ret = len
assignment at the end of the function and the error codes are being
lost.  Fix this by assigning ret = len at the start of the function and
remove the assignment from the end, hence allowing ret to be preserved
when error codes are assigned to it.

Addresses Coverity ("Unused value")

zram: try to avoid worst-case scenario on same element pages

2020-01-31T18:30:39+00:00

The worst-case scenario on finding same element pages is that almost all
elements are same at the first glance but only last few elements are
different.

Since the same element tends to be grouped from the beginning of the
pages, if we check the first element with the last element before
looping through all elements, we might have some chances to quickly
detect non-same element pages.

 1. Test is done under LG webOS TV (64-bit arch)
 2. Dump the swap-out pages (~819200 pages)
 3. Analyze the pages with simple test script which counts the iteration
    number and measures the speed at off-line

Under 64-bit arch, the worst iteration count is PAGE_SIZE / 8 bytes =
512.  The speed is based on the time to consume page_same_filled()
function only.  The result, on average, is listed as below:

                                     Num of Iter    Speed(MB/s)
  Looping-Forward (Orig)                 38            99265
  Looping-Backward                       36           102725
  Last-element-check (This Patch)        33           125072

The result shows that the average iteration count decreases by 13% and
the speed increases by 25% with this patch.  This patch does not
increase the overall time complexity, though.

I also ran simpler version which uses backward loop.  Just looping
backward also makes some improvement, but less than this patch.

zram: fix race between backing_dev_show and backing_dev_store

2019-10-19T10:32:32+00:00

CPU0:				       CPU1:
backing_dev_show		       backing_dev_store
    ......				   ......
    file = zram->backing_dev;
    down_read(&zram->init_lock);	   down_read(&zram->init_init_lock)
    file_path(file, ...);		   zram->backing_dev = backing_dev;
    up_read(&zram->init_lock);		   up_read(&zram->init_lock);

gets the value of zram->backing_dev too early in backing_dev_show, which
resultin the value being NULL at the beginning, and not NULL later.

docs: blockdev: convert to ReST

2019-07-15T12:20:26+00:00

Rename the blockdev documentation files to ReST, add an
index for them and adjust in order to produce a nice html
output via the Sphinx build system.

The drbd sub-directory contains some graphs and data flows.
Add those too to the documentation.

At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to
the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.

zram: pass down the bvec we need to read into in the work struct

2019-04-26T16:18:05+00:00

When scheduling work item to read page we need to pass down the proper
bvec struct which points to the page to read into.  Before this patch it
uses a randomly initialized bvec (only if PAGE_SIZE != 4096) which is
wrong.

Note that without this patch on arch/kernel where PAGE_SIZE != 4096
userspace could read random memory through a zram block device (thought
userspace probably would have no control on the address being read).
