Make the choice of checksum a per-I/O property by introducing a flag that can be inspected by the SCSI layer. There are several reasons for this: 1. It allows us to switch choice of checksum without unloading and reloading the HBA driver. 2. During error recovery we need to be able to tell the HBA that checksums read from disk should not be verified and converted to IP checksums. 3. For error injection purposes we need to be able to write a bad guard tag to storage. Since the storage device only supports T10 CRC we need to be able to disable IP checksum conversion on the HBA.

Move flags affecting the integrity code out of the bio bi_flags and into the block integrity payload. Signed-off-by:
-
Martin K. Petersen authored
So far we have relied on the app tag size to determine whether a disk has been formatted with T10 protection information or not. However, not all target devices provide application tag storage. Add a flag to the block integrity profile that indicates whether the disk has been formatted with protection information. Signed-off-by:

Instead of the "operate" parameter we pass in a seed value and a pointer to a function that can be used to process the integrity metadata. The generation function is changed to have a return value to fit into this scheme. Signed-off-by:

Now that the protection interval has been detached from the sector size we need to be able to handle sizes that are different from 4K and 512. Make the interval calculation generic. Signed-off-by:
-
Martin K. Petersen authored
The protection interval is not necessarily tied to the logical block size of a block device. Stop using the terms "sector" and "sectors". Going forward we will use the term "seed" to describe the initial reference tag value for a given I/O. "Interval" will be used to describe the portion of the data buffer that a given piece of protection information is associated with. Signed-off-by:

None of the filesystems appear interested in using the integrity tagging feature. Potentially because very few storage devices actually permit using the application tag space. Remove the tagging functions. Signed-off-by:

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).

This patch supports to run one single flush machinery for each blk-mq dispatch queue, so that: - current init_request and exit_request callbacks can cover flush request too, then the buggy copying way of initializing flush request's pdu can be fixed - flushing performance gets improved in case of multi hw-queue In fio sync write test over virtio-blk(4 hw queues, ioengine=sync, iodepth=64, numjobs=4, bs=4K), it is observed that througput gets increased a lot over my test environment: - throughput: +70% in case of virtio-blk over null_blk - throughput: +30% in case of virtio-blk over SSD image The multi virtqueue feature isn't merged to QEMU yet, and patches for the feature can be found in below tree: git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ming/qemu.git v2.1.0-mq.4 And simply passing 'num_queues=4 vectors=5' should be enough to enable multi queue(quad queue) feature for QEMU virtio-blk.

This patch adds 'blk_mq_ctx' parameter to blk_get_flush_queue(), so that this function can find the corresponding blk_flush_queue bound with current mq context since the flush queue will become per hw-queue. For legacy queue, the parameter can be simply 'NULL'. For multiqueue case, the parameter should be set as the context from which the related request is originated. With this context info, the hw queue and related flush queue can be found easily. Signed-off-by:

This patch introduces 'struct blk_flush_queue' and puts all flush machinery related fields into this structure, so that - flush implementation details aren't exposed to driver - it is easy to convert to per dispatch-queue flush machinery This patch is basically a mechanical replacement.

These two temporary functions are introduced for holding flush initialization and de-initialization, so that we can introduce 'flush queue' easier in the following patch. And once 'flush queue' and its allocation/free functions are ready, they will be removed for sake of code readability. Reviewed-by:

Commit 8cb34819cdd5d(blk-mq: unshared timeout handler) introduces blk-mq's own timeout handler, and removes following line: blk_queue_rq_timed_out(q, blk_mq_rq_timed_out); which then causes blk_add_timer() to bypass adding the timer, since blk-mq no longer has q->rq_timed_out_fn defined. This patch fixes the problem by bypassing the check for blk-mq, so that both request deadlines are still set and the rolling timer updated. Signed-off-by:

It's not uncommon for crash dump kernels to be limited to 128MB or something low in that area. This is normally not a problem for devices as we don't use that much memory, but for some shared SCSI setups with huge queue depths, it can potentially fill most of memory with tons of request allocations. blk-mq does scale back when it fails to allocate memory, but it scales back just enough so that blk-mq succeeds. This could still leave the system with not enough memory to make any real progress. Check if we are in a kdump environment and limit the hardware queues and tag depth. Signed-off-by: -

This patch removes two unnecessary blk_clear_rq_complete(), the REQ_ATOM_COMPLETE flag is cleared inside blk_mq_start_request(), so: - The blk_clear_rq_complete() in blk_flush_restore_request() needn't because the request will be freed later, and clearing it here may open a small race window with timeout. - The blk_clear_rq_complete() in blk_mq_requeue_request() isn't necessary too, even though REQ_ATOM_STARTED is cleared in __blk_mq_requeue_request(), in theory it still may cause a small race window with timeout since the two clear_bit() may be reordered.

Don't do a kmalloc from timer to handle timeouts, chances are we could be under heavy load or similar and thus just miss out on the timeouts. Fortunately it is very easy to just iterate over all in use tags, and doing this properly actually cleans up the blk_mq_busy_iter API as well, and prepares us for the next patch by passing a reserved argument to the iterator.

When we call blk_mq_start_request from the core blk-mq code before calling into ->queue_rq there is a racy window where the timeout handler can hit before we've fully set up the driver specific part of the command. Move the call to blk_mq_start_request into the driver so the driver can start the request only once it is fully set up. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

__blk_mq_alloc_rq_maps() can be invoked multiple times, if we scale back the queue depth if we are low on memory. So don't clear set->tags when we fail, this is handled directly in the parent function, blk_mq_alloc_tag_set(). Reported-by:

We should not insert requests into the flush state machine from blk_mq_insert_request. All incoming flush requests come through blk_{m,s}q_make_request and are handled there, while blk_execute_rq_nowait should only be called for BLOCK_PC requests. All other callers deal with requests that already went through the flush statemchine and shouldn't be reinserted into it. Reported-by: -

This patch should fix the bug reported in https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/9/11/249. We have to initialize at least the atomic_flags and the cmd_flags when allocating storage for the requests. Otherwise blk_mq_timeout_check() might dereference uninitialized pointers when racing with the creation of a request. Also move the reset of cmd_flags for the initializing code to the point where a request is freed. So we will never end up with pending flush request indicators that might trigger dereferences of invalid pointers in blk_mq_timeout_check(). Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

When we start the request, we set the deadline and flip the bits marking the request as started and non-complete. However, it's important that the deadline store is ordered before flipping the bits, otherwise we could have a small window where the request is marked started but with an invalid deadline. This can confuse the timeout handling. Suggested-by:

Commit d6bb3e90 ("vfs: simplify and shrink stack frame of link_path_walk()") introduced build problems with GCC versions older than 4.6 due to the initialisation of a member of an anonymous union in struct qstr without enclosing braces. This hits GCC bug 10676 [1] (which was fixed in GCC 4.6 by [2]), and causes the following build error: fs/namei.c: In function 'link_path_walk': fs/namei.c:1778: error: unknown field 'hash_len' specified in initializer This is worked around by adding explicit braces.
