      block: clean up request completion API · 2e60e022
      Tejun Heo authored
      Request completion has gone through several changes and became a bit
      messy over the time.  Clean it up.
      
      1. end_that_request_data() is a thin wrapper around
         end_that_request_data_first() which checks whether bio is NULL
         before doing anything and handles bidi completion.
         blk_update_request() is a thin wrapper around
         end_that_request_data() which clears nr_sectors on the last
         iteration but doesn't use the bidi completion.
      
         Clean it up by moving the initial bio NULL check and nr_sectors
         clearing on the last iteration into end_that_request_data() and
         renaming it to blk_update_request(), which makes blk_end_io() the
         only user of end_that_request_data().  Collapse
         end_that_request_data() into blk_end_io().
      
      2. There are four visible completion variants - blk_end_request(),
         __blk_end_request(), blk_end_bidi_request() and end_request().
         blk_end_request() and blk_end_bidi_request() uses blk_end_request()
         as the backend but __blk_end_request() and end_request() use
         separate implementation in __blk_end_request() due to different
         locking rules.
      
         blk_end_bidi_request() is identical to blk_end_io().  Collapse
         blk_end_io() into blk_end_bidi_request(), separate out request
         update into internal helper blk_update_bidi_request() and add
         __blk_end_bidi_request().  Redefine [__]blk_end_request() as thin
         inline wrappers around [__]blk_end_bidi_request().
      
      3. As the whole request issue/completion usages are about to be
         modified and audited, it's a good chance to convert completion
         functions return bool which better indicates the intended meaning
         of return values.
      
      4. The function name end_that_request_last() is from the days when it
         was a public interface and slighly confusing.  Give it a proper
         internal name - blk_finish_request().
      
      5. Add description explaning that blk_end_bidi_request() can be safely
         used for uni requests as suggested by Boaz Harrosh.
      
      The only visible behavior change is from #1.  nr_sectors counts are
      cleared after the final iteration no matter which function is used to
      complete the request.  I couldn't find any place where the code
      assumes those nr_sectors counters contain the values for the last
      segment and this change is good as it makes the API much more
      consistent as the end result is now same whether a request is
      completed using [__]blk_end_request() alone or in combination with
      blk_update_request().
      
      API further cleaned up per Christoph's suggestion.

      block: reorganize request fetching functions · 158dbda0
      Tejun Heo authored
      Impact: code reorganization
      
      elv_next_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are public block layer
      interface than actual elevator implementation.  They mostly deal with
      how requests interact with block layer and low level drivers at the
      beginning of rqeuest processing whereas __elv_next_request() is the
      actual eleveator request fetching interface.

      Enable by default support for large devices and files (CONFIG_LBD):
      
      - With 1TB disks being a commodity hardware it is quite easy to hit 2TB
        limitation while building RAIDs etc. and many distros have been using
        CONFIG_LBD=y by default already (at least Fedora 10 and openSUSE 11.1).
      
      - This should also prevent a subtle ext4 filesystem compatibility issue:
        mke2fs.ext4 defaults to creating filesystems with huge_files feature
        enabled and such filesystems cannot be later mounted read-write on
        machines with CONFIG_LBD=n (it should be quite easy to hit this issue
        when trying to use filesystem created using distro kernel on system
        running the self-build kernel, think about USB disk enclosures & co.).
      
      While at it:
      
      - Clarify config option help text w.r.t. mounting ext4 filesystems
        (they can be mounted with CONFIG_LBD=n but in the read-only mode).

      ide-tape: use standard data transfer mechanism · e998f30b
      Tejun Heo authored
      Impact: use standard way to transfer data
      
      ide-tape uses rq in an interesting way.  For r/w requests, rq->special
      is used to carry a private buffer management structure idetape_bh and
      rq->nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors are initialized to the number of
      idetape blocks which isn't necessary 512 bytes.  Also,
      rq->current_nr_sectors is used to report back the residual count in
      units of idetape blocks.
      
      This peculiarity taxes both block layer and ide.  ide-atapi has
      different paths and hooks to accomodate it and what a rq means becomes
      quite confusing and making changes at the block layer becomes quite
      difficult and error-prone.
      
      This patch makes ide-tape use bio instead.  With the previous patch,
      ide-tape currently is using single contiguos buffer so replacing it
      isn't difficult.  Data buffer is mapped into bio using
      blk_rq_map_kern() in idetape_queue_rw_tail().  idetape_io_buffers()
      and idetape_update_buffers() are dropped and pc->bh is set to null to
      tell ide-atapi to use standard data transfer mechanism and idetape_bh
      byte counts are updated by the issuer on completion using the residual
      count.
      
      This change also nicely removes the FIXME in ide_pc_intr() where
      ide-tape rqs need to be completed using ide_rq_bytes() instead of
      blk_rq_bytes() (although this didn't really matter as the request
      didn't have bio).

      ide-tape: use single continuous buffer · 7b13354e
      Tejun Heo authored
      Impact: simpler buffer allocation and handling, kills OOM, fix DMA transfers
      
      ide-tape has its own multiple buffer mechanism using struct
      idetape_bh.  It allocates buffer with decreasing order-of-two
      allocations so that it results in minimum number of segments.
      However, the implementation is quite complex and works in a way that
      no other block or ide driver works necessitating a lot of special case
      handling.
      
      The benefit this complex allocation scheme brings is questionable as
      PIO or DMA the number of segments (16 maximum) doesn't make any
      noticeable difference and it also doesn't negate the need for multiple
      order allocation which can fail under memory pressure or high
      fragmentation although it does lower the highest order necessary by
      one when the buffer size isn't power of two.
      
      As the first step to remove the custom buffer management, this patch
      makes ide-tape allocate single continous buffer.  The maximum order is
      four.  I doubt the change would cause any trouble but if it ever
      matters, it should be converted to regular sg mechanism like everyone
      else and even in that case dropping custom buffer handling and moving
      to standard mechanism first make sense as an intermediate step.
      
      This patch makes the first bh to contain the whole buffer and drops
      multi bh handling code.  Following patches will make further changes.
      
      This patch has the side effect of killing OOM triggered by allocation
      path and fixing DMA transfers.  Previously, bug in alloc path
      triggered OOM on command issue and commands were passed to DMA engine
      without DMA-mapping all the segments.

      ide-atapi,tape,floppy: allow ->pc_callback() to change rq->data_len · eb6a61bb
      Tejun Heo authored
      Impact: allow residual count implementation in ->pc_callback()
      
      rq->data_len has two duties - carrying the number of input bytes on
      issue and carrying residual count back to the issuer on completion.
      ide-atapi completion callback ->pc_callback() is the right place to do
      this but currently ide-atapi depends on rq->data_len carrying the
      original request size after calling ->pc_callback() to complete the pc
      request.
      
      This patch makes ide_pc_intr(), ide_tape_issue_pc() and
      ide_floppy_issue_pc() cache length to complete before calling
      ->pc_callback() so that it can modify rq->data_len as necessary.
      
      Note: As using rq->data_len for two purposes can make cases like this
            incorrect in subtle ways, future changes will introduce separate
            field for residual count.

      ide-tape,floppy: fix failed command completion after request sense · 08f370f0
      Tejun Heo authored
      Impact: fix infinite retry loop
      
      After a command failed, ide-tape and floppy inserts REQUEST_SENSE in
      front of the failed command and according to the result, sets
      pc->retries, flags and errors.  After REQUEST_SENSE is complete, the
      failed command is again at the front of the queue and if the verdict
      was to terminate the request, the issue functions tries to complete it
      directly by calling drive->pc_callback() and returning ide_stopped.
      
      However, drive->pc_callback() doesn't complete a request.  It only
      prepares for completion of the request.  As a result, this creates an
      infinite loop where the failed request is retried perpetually.
      
      Fix it by actually ending the request by calling ide_complete_rq().

      ide-cd,atapi: use bio for internal commands · 02e7cf8f
      Tejun Heo authored
      Impact: unify request data buffer handling
      
      rq->data is used mostly to pass kernel buffer through request queue
      without using bio.  There are only a couple of places which still do
      this in kernel and converting to bio isn't difficult.
      
      This patch converts ide-cd and atapi to use bio instead of rq->data
      for request sense and internal pc commands.  With previous change to
      unify sense request handling, this is relatively easily achieved by
      adding blk_rq_map_kern() during sense_rq prep and PC issue.
      
      If blk_rq_map_kern() fails for sense, the error is deferred till sense
      issue and aborts the failed command which triggered the sense.  Note
      that this is a slim possibility as sense prep is done on each command
      issue, so for the above condition to actually trigger, all preps since
      the last sense issue till the issue of the request which would require
      a sense should fail.
      
      * do_request functions might sleep now.  This should be okay as ide
        request_fn - do_ide_request() - is invoked only from make_request
        and plug work.  Make sure this is the case by adding might_sleep()
        to do_ide_request().
      
      * Functions which access the read sense data before the sense request
        is complete now should access bio_data(sense_rq->bio) as the sense
        buffer might have been copied during blk_rq_map_kern().
      
      * ide-tape updated to map sg.
      
      * cdrom_do_block_pc() now doesn't have to deal with REQ_TYPE_ATA_PC
        special case.  Simplified.
      
      * tp_ops->output/input_data path dropped from ide_pc_intr().

      ide-cd: convert to using generic sense request · c457ce87
      Borislav Petkov authored
      Preallocate a sense request in the ->do_request method and reinitialize
      it only on demand, in case it's been consumed in the IRQ handler path.
      The reason for this is that we don't want to be mapping rq to bio in
      the IRQ path and introduce all kinds of unnecessary hacks to the block
      layer.
      
      tj: * Both user and kernel PC requests expect sense data to be stored
            in separate storage other than drive->sense_data.  Copy sense
            data to rq->sense on completion if rq->sense is not NULL.  This
            fixes bogus sense data on PC requests.
      
      As a result, remove cdrom_queue_request_sense.

      ide: add helpers for preparing sense requests · e69d800f
      Borislav Petkov authored
      This is in preparation of removing the queueing of a sense request out
      of the IRQ handler path.
      
      Use struct request_sense as a general sense buffer for all ATAPI
      devices ide-{floppy,tape,cd}.
      
      tj: * blk_get_request(__GFP_WAIT) can't be called from do_request() as
            it can cause deadlock.  Converted to use inline struct request
            and blk_rq_init().
      
          * Added xfer / cdb len selection depending on device type.
      
          * All sense prep logics folded into ide_prep_sense() which never
            fails.
      
          * hwif->rq clearing and sense_rq used handling moved into
            ide_queue_sense_rq().
      
          * blk_rq_map_kern() conversion is moved to later patch.

      Impact: rq->buffer usage cleanup
      
      ide-atapi uses rq->buffer as private opaque value for internal special
      requests.  rq->special isn't used for these cases (the only case where
      rq->special is used is for ide-tape rw requests).  Use rq->special
      instead.

      Tejun Heo authored
      Impact: rq->buffer usage cleanup
      
      ide_raw_taskfile() directly uses rq->buffer to carry pointer to the
      data buffer.  This complicates both block interface and ide backend
      request handling.  Use blk_rq_map_kern() instead and drop special
      handling for REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE from ide_map_sg().
      
      Note that REQ_RW setting is moved upwards as blk_rq_map_kern() uses it
      to initialize bio rw flag.

      ide_cd_request_sense_fixup() clears the tail of the sense buffer if

      cdrom_queue_request_sense() clear the sense buffer before issuing the

      block: clear req->errors on bio completion only for fs requests · 924cec77
      Tejun Heo authored
      Impact: subtle behavior change
      
      For fs requests, rq is only carrier of bios and rq error status as a
      whole doesn't mean much.  This is the reason why rq->errors is being
      cleared on each partial completion of a request as on each partial
      completion the error status is transferred to the respective bios.
      
      For pc requests, rq->errors is used to carry error status to the
      issuer and thus __end_that_request_first() doesn't clear it on such
      cases.
      
      The condition was fine till now as only fs and pc requests have used
      bio and thus the bio completion path.  However, future changes will
      unify data accesses to bio and all non fs users care about rq error
      status.  Clear rq->errors on bio completion only for fs requests.
      
      In general, the implicit clearing is a bit too subtle especially as
      the meaning of rq->errors is completely dependent on low level
      drivers.  Unifying / cleaning up rq->errors usage and letting llds
      manage it would be better.  TODO comment added.

      hd: fix locking · e93b9fb7
      Tejun Heo authored
      hd dance around local irq and HD_IRQ enable without achieving much.
      It ends up transferring data from irq handler with both local irq and
      HD_IRQ disabled.  The only place it actually does something is while
      transferring the first block of a request which it does with HD_IRQ
      disabled but local irq enabled.
      
      Unfortunately, the dancing is horribly broken from locking POV.  IRQ
      and timeout handlers access block queue without grabbing the queue
      lock and running the driver in SMP configuration crashes the whole
      machine pretty quickly.
      
      Remove meaningless irq enable/disable dancing and add proper locking
      in issue, irq and timeout paths.
