dm-io: report non-retryable errors separatedly

2026-09-07T15:36:56+00:00

commit 47a5e62f39875f371bded6e34ffb9cf15ccd813d upstream.

The error codes BLK_STS_NOTSUPP and BLK_STS_INVAL should not cause leg
failure on dm-raid1. This patch changes the interface to dm-io, so that
it reports two error bitmaps - error_bits and unsup_bits. The unsup_bit
bitmap tracks BLK_STS_NOTSUPP or BLK_STS_INVAL errors, the error_bits
bitmap tracks all the other errors.

dm-raid1 is changed so that it won't fail a leg if it receives an error
in the unsup_bits bitmap.

This patch (with 62dc37a819a5) fixes misbehavior if the user uses
unaligned bio vectors on dm-raid1.

dm io: Support IO priority

2024-02-20T19:22:51+00:00

Some IO will dispatch from kworker with different io_context settings
than the submitting task, we may need to specify a priority to avoid
losing priority.

Add IO priority parameter to dm_io() and update all callers.

'GPL-2.0-only' is used instead of 'GPL-2.0' because SPDX has
deprecated its use.

dm/core: Reduce the size of struct dm_io_request

2022-07-14T18:14:31+00:00

Combine the bi_op and bi_op_flags into the bi_opf member. Use the new
blk_opf_t type to improve static type checking. This patch does not
change any functionality.

block: better op and flags encoding

2016-10-28T14:48:16+00:00

Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range
of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and
request fields.  This in addition allows us to place the operation
first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to
stop having to shift around the operation values.

In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer
instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do
that later) and thus clean up a lot of code.

Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags
field in struct request to 32-bits.  Various functions passing this
value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now.

dm: use bio op accessors

Separate the op from the rq_flag_bits and have dm
set/get the bio using bio_set_op_attrs/bio_op.

block: Convert drivers to immutable biovecs

2013-11-24T06:33:51+00:00

Now that we've got a mechanism for immutable biovecs -
bi_iter.bi_bvec_done - we need to convert drivers to use primitives that
respect it instead of using the bvec array directly.

dm io: use fixed initial mempool size

2011-05-29T12:03:09+00:00

Replace the arbitrary calculation of an initial io struct mempool size
with a constant.

The code calculated the number of reserved structures based on the request
size and used a "magic" multiplication constant of 4.  This patch changes
it to reserve a fixed number - itself still chosen quite arbitrarily.
Further testing might show if there is a better number to choose.

Note that if there is no memory pressure, we can still allocate an
arbitrary number of "struct io" structures.  One structure is enough to
process the whole request.

dm: eliminate some holes data structures

2010-03-06T02:32:33+00:00

Eliminate a 4-byte hole in 'struct dm_io_memory' by moving 'offset' above the
'ptr' to which it applies (size reduced from 24 to 16 bytes).  And by
association, 1-4 byte hole is eliminated in 'struct dm_io_request' (size
reduced from 56 to 48 bytes).

Eliminate all 6 4-byte holes and 1 cache-line in 'struct dm_snapshot' (size
reduced from 392 to 368 bytes).
