block: remove bio_get_nr_vecs()

2015-08-13T18:32:04+00:00

We can always fill up the bio now, no need to estimate the possible
size based on queue parameters.

block: add a bi_error field to struct bio

2015-07-29T14:55:15+00:00

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.

ioctl_compat: handle FITRIM

2015-07-09T18:42:21+00:00

The FITRIM ioctl has the same arguments on 32-bit and 64-bit
architectures, so we can add it to the list of compatible ioctls and
drop it from compat_ioctl method of various filesystems.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2015-07-05T02:36:06+00:00

Pull more vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "Assorted VFS fixes and related cleanups (IMO the most interesting in
  that part are f_path-related things and Eric's descriptor-related
  stuff).  UFS regression fixes (it got broken last cycle).  9P fixes.
  fs-cache series, DAX patches, Jan's file_remove_suid() work"

[ I'd say this is much more than "fixes and related cleanups".  The
  file_table locking rule change by Eric Dumazet is a rather big and
  fundamental update even if the patch isn't huge.   - Linus ]

NILFS2: support NFSv2 export

2015-06-26T00:00:43+00:00

The "fh_len" passed to ->fh_to_* is not guaranteed to be that same as that
returned by encode_fh - it may be larger.

With NFSv2, the filehandle is fixed length, so it may appear longer than
expected and be zero-padded.

So we must test that fh_len is at least some value, not exactly equal to
it.

Pull core block IO update from Jens Axboe:
 "Nothing really major in here, mostly a collection of smaller
  optimizations and cleanups, mixed with various fixes.  In more detail,
  this contains:

   - Addition of policy specific data to blkcg for block cgroups.  From
     Arianna Avanzini.

   - Various cleanups around command types from Christoph.

   - Cleanup of the suspend block I/O path from Christoph.

   - Plugging updates from Shaohua and Jeff Moyer, for blk-mq.

   - Eliminating atomic inc/dec of both remaining IO count and reference
     count in a bio.  From me.

   - Fixes for SG gap and chunk size support for data-less (discards)
     IO, so we can merge these better.  From me.

   - Small restructuring of blk-mq shared tag support, freeing drivers
     from iterating hardware queues.  From Keith Busch.

   - A few cfq-iosched tweaks, from Tahsin Erdogan and me.  Makes the
     IOPS mode the default for non-rotational storage"

block: remove BIO_EOPNOTSUPP

2015-05-19T15:17:03+00:00

Since the big barrier rewrite/removal in 2007 we never fail FLUSH or
FUA requests, which means we can remove the magic BIO_EOPNOTSUPP flag
to help propagating those to the buffer_head layer.
