block: kill merge_bvec_fn() completely

2015-08-13T18:31:57+00:00

As generic_make_request() is now able to handle arbitrarily sized bios,
it's no longer necessary for each individual block driver to define its
own ->merge_bvec_fn() callback. Remove every invocation completely.

writeback: move backing_dev_info->state into bdi_writeback

2015-06-02T14:33:34+00:00

Currently, a bdi (backing_dev_info) embeds single wb (bdi_writeback)
and the role of the separation is unclear.  For cgroup support for
writeback IOs, a bdi will be updated to host multiple wb's where each
wb serves writeback IOs of a different cgroup on the bdi.  To achieve
that, a wb should carry all states necessary for servicing writeback
IOs for a cgroup independently.

This patch moves bdi->state into wb.

* enum bdi_state is renamed to wb_state and the prefix of all enums is
  changed from BDI_ to WB_.

* Explicit zeroing of bdi->state is removed without adding zeoring of
  wb->state as the whole data structure is zeroed on init anyway.

* As there's still only one bdi_writeback per backing_dev_info, all
  uses of bdi->state are mechanically replaced with bdi->wb.state
  introducing no behavior changes.

drbd: implicitly truncate cpu-mask

2014-07-10T16:35:22+00:00

Don't error out with misleading "out of memory"
if the cpu-mask has more bits set than there are CPUs.
Just truncate to nr_cpu_ids implicitly.

drbd: debugfs: Add in_flight_summary

2014-07-10T16:35:17+00:00

* Add details about pending meta data operations to in_flight_summary.

* Report number of requests waiting for activity log transactions.

* timing details of peer_requests to in_flight_summary.

* FLUSH details
  DRBD devides the incoming request stream into "epochs",
  in which peers are allowed to re-order writes independendly.

  These epochs are separated by P_BARRIER on the replication link.
  Such barrier packets, depending on configuration, may cause
  the receiving side to drain the lower level device request queues
  and call blkdev_issue_flush().

  This is known to be an other major source of latency in DRBD.

  Track timing details of calls to blkdev_issue_flush(),
  and add them to in_flight_summary.

* data socket stats
  To be able to diagnose bottlenecks and root causes of "slow" IO on DRBD,
  it is useful to see network buffer stats along with the timing details of
  requests, peer requests, and meta data IO.

* pending bitmap IO timing details to in_flight_summary.
