blk-mq: fix FUA request hang

2015-05-04T19:09:55+00:00

When a FUA request enters its DATA stage of flush pipeline, the
request is added to mq requeue list, the request will then be added to
ctx->rq_list. blk_mq_attempt_merge() might merge the request with a bio.
Later when the request is finished the flush pipeline, the
request->__data_len is 0. Then I only saw the bio gets endio called, the
original request never finish.

Adding REQ_FLUSH_SEQ into REQ_NOMERGE_FLAGS looks an easy fix.

Defer processing of REQ_PREEMPT requests for blocked devices

2015-04-08T16:41:41+00:00

SCSI transport drivers and SCSI LLDs block a SCSI device if the
transport layer is not operational. This means that in this state
no requests should be processed, even if the REQ_PREEMPT flag has
been set. This patch avoids that a rescan shortly after a cable
pull sporadically triggers the following kernel oops:

blk-mq: Allow requests to never expire

2015-01-08T15:59:01+00:00

Some types of requests may be started that are not gauranteed to ever

block: Replace bi_integrity with bi_special

2014-09-27T15:14:46+00:00

For commands like REQ_COPY we need a way to pass extra information along
with each bio. Like integrity metadata this information must be
available at the bottom of the stack so bi_private does not suffice.

Rename the existing bi_integrity field to bi_special and make it a union
so we can have different bio extensions for each class of command.

We previously used bi_integrity != NULL as a way to identify whether a
bio had integrity metadata or not. Introduce a REQ_INTEGRITY to be the
indicator now that bi_special can contain different things.

In addition, bio_integrity(bio) will now return a pointer to the
integrity payload (when applicable).

blk-mq: remove REQ_END

2014-09-22T18:00:07+00:00

Pass an explicit parameter for the last request in a batch to ->queue_rq
instead of using a request flag.  Besides being a cleaner and non-stateful
interface this is also required for the next patch, which fixes the blk-mq
I/O submission code to not start a time too early.

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

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro:
 "This the bunch that sat in -next + lock_parent() fix.  This is the
  minimal set; there's more pending stuff.

  In particular, I really hope to get acct.c fixes merged this cycle -
  we need that to deal sanely with delayed-mntput stuff.  In the next
  pile, hopefully - that series is fairly short and localized
  (kernel/acct.c, fs/super.c and fs/namespace.c).  In this pile: more
  iov_iter work.  Most of prereqs for ->splice_write with sane locking
  order are there and Kent's dio rewrite would also fit nicely on top of

blk-mq: improve support for shared tags maps

2014-05-13T21:10:52+00:00

This adds support for active queue tracking, meaning that the
blk-mq tagging maintains a count of active users of a tag set.
This allows us to maintain a notion of fairness between users,
so that we can distribute the tag depth evenly without starving
some users while allowing others to try unfair deep queues.

If sharing of a tag set is detected, each hardware queue will
track the depth of its own queue. And if this exceeds the total
depth divided by the number of active queues, the user is actively
throttled down.

The active queue count is done lazily to avoid bouncing that data
between submitter and completer. Each hardware queue gets marked
active when it allocates its first tag, and gets marked inactive
when 1) the last tag is cleared, and 2) the queue timeout grace
period has passed.

bio_vec-backed iov_iter

2014-05-06T21:39:45+00:00

New variant of iov_iter - ITER_BVEC in iter->type, backed with
bio_vec array instead of iovec one.  Primitives taught to deal
with such beasts, __swap_write() switched to using that kind
of iov_iter.

Note that bio_vec is just a  triple - there's
nothing block-specific about it.  I've left the definition where it
was, but took it from under ifdef CONFIG_BLOCK.

Next target: ->splice_write()...
