Merge branch 'for-4.14/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2017-09-07T18:59:42+00:00

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the first pull request for 4.14, containing most of the code
  changes. It's a quiet series this round, which I think we needed after
  the churn of the last few series. This contains:

   - Fix for a registration race in loop, from Anton Volkov.

   - Overflow complaint fix from Arnd for DAC960.

   - Series of drbd changes from the usual suspects.

   - Conversion of the stec/skd driver to blk-mq. From Bart.

   - A few BFQ improvements/fixes from Paolo.

   - CFQ improvement from Ritesh, allowing idling for group idle.

   - A few fixes found by Dan's smatch, courtesy of Dan.

   - A warning fixup for a race between changing the IO scheduler and
     device remova. From David Jeffery.

   - A few nbd fixes from Josef.

   - Support for cgroup info in blktrace, from Shaohua.

   - Also from Shaohua, new features in the null_blk driver to allow it
     to actually hold data, among other things.

   - Various corner cases and error handling fixes from Weiping Zhang.

   - Improvements to the IO stats tracking for blk-mq from me. Can
     drastically improve performance for fast devices and/or big
     machines.

   - Series from Christoph removing bi_bdev as being needed for IO
     submission, in preparation for nvme multipathing code.

   - Series from Bart, including various cleanups and fixes for switch
     fall through case complaints"

block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index

2017-08-23T18:49:55+00:00

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

fs: convert a pile of fsync routines to errseq_t based reporting

2017-08-01T12:39:29+00:00

This patch converts most of the in-kernel filesystems that do writeback
out of the pagecache to report errors using the errseq_t-based
infrastructure that was recently added. This allows them to report
errors once for each open file description.

Most filesystems have a fairly straightforward fsync operation. They
call filemap_write_and_wait_range to write back all of the data and
wait on it, and then (sometimes) sync out the metadata.

For those filesystems this is a straightforward conversion from calling
filemap_write_and_wait_range in their fsync operation to calling
file_write_and_wait_range.

mm: drop "wait" parameter from write_one_page()

2017-07-05T22:44:22+00:00

The callers all set it to 1.

Also, make it clear that this function will not set any sort of AS_*
error, and that the caller must do so if necessary.  No existing caller
uses this on normal files, so none of them need it.

Also, add __must_check here since, in general, the callers need to handle
an error here in some fashion.

fs: semove set but not checked AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag

2017-05-09T00:15:14+00:00

Commit afddba49d18f ("fs: introduce write_begin, write_end, and
perform_write aops") introduced AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag which was
checked in pagecache_write_begin(), but that check was removed by
4e02ed4b4a2f ("fs: remove prepare_write/commit_write").

Between these two commits, commit d9414774dc0c ("cifs: Convert cifs to
new aops.") added a check in cifs_write_begin(), but that check was soon
removed by commit a98ee8c1c707 ("[CIFS] fix regression in
cifs_write_begin/cifs_write_end").

Therefore, AOP_FLAG_UNINTERRUPTIBLE flag is checked nowhere.  Let's
remove this flag.  This patch has no functionality changes.

exofs: Convert to separately allocated bdi

2017-04-20T18:09:55+00:00

Allocate struct backing_dev_info separately instead of embedding it
inside the superblock. This unifies handling of bdi among users.

locking/atomic, kref: Add kref_read()

2017-01-14T10:37:18+00:00

Since we need to change the implementation, stop exposing internals.

Provide kref_read() to read the current reference count; typically
used for debug messages.

Kills two anti-patterns:

	atomic_read(&kref->refcount)
	kref->refcount.counter

fs: exofs: print a hex number after a 0x prefix

2016-10-28T01:43:43+00:00

It makes the message hard to interpret correctly if a base 10 number is
prefixed by 0x.  So change to a hex number.

fs: use mapping_set_error instead of opencoded set_bit

2016-10-11T22:06:33+00:00

The mapping_set_error() helper sets the correct AS_ flag for the mapping
so there is no reason to open code it.  Use the helper directly.
