Initialization of blk-mq requests is a bit weird: blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() is called after a value has been assigned to .rq_flags and .rq_flags is initialized in __blk_mq_finish_request(). Initialize .rq_flags in blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() instead of relying on __blk_mq_finish_request(). Moving the initialization of .rq_flags is fine because all changes and tests of .rq_flags occur between blk_get_request() and finishing a request. Signed-off-by:

Instead of explicitly calling scsi_req_init() after blk_get_request(), call that function from inside blk_get_request(). Add an .initialize_rq_fn() callback function to the block drivers that need it. Merge the IDE .init_rq_fn() function into .initialize_rq_fn() because it is too small to keep it as a separate function. Keep the scsi_req_init() call in ide_prep_sense() because it follows a blk_rq_init() call. References: commit 82ed4db4 ("block: split scsi_request out of struct request") Signed-off-by:

Several block drivers need to initialize the driver-private request data after having called blk_get_request() and before .prep_rq_fn() is called, e.g. when submitting a REQ_OP_SCSI_* request. Avoid that that initialization code has to be repeated after every blk_get_request() call by adding new callback functions to struct request_queue and to struct blk_mq_ops. Signed-off-by:

Instead of declaring the second argument of blk_*_get_request() as int and passing it to functions that expect an unsigned int, declare that second argument as unsigned int. Also because of consistency, rename that second argument from 'rw' into 'op'. This patch does not change any functionality. Signed-off-by:

Some storage drivers need to share tag sets between devices. It's useful to be able to model that with null_blk, to find hangs or performance issues. Add a 'shared_tags' bool module parameter that. If that is set to true and nr_devices is bigger than 1, all devices allocated will share the same tag set. Signed-off-by: -

A new bio operation flag REQ_NOWAIT is introduced to identify bio's orignating from iocb with IOCB_NOWAIT. This flag indicates to return immediately if a request cannot be made instead of retrying. Stacked devices such as md (the ones with make_request_fn hooks) currently are not supported because it may block for housekeeping. For example, an md can have a part of the device suspended. For this reason, only request based devices are supported. In the future, this feature will be expanded to stacked devices by teaching them how to handle the REQ_NOWAIT flags. Reviewed-by:

RWF_NOWAIT informs kernel to bail out if an AIO request will block for reasons such as file allocations, or a writeback triggered, or would block while allocating requests while performing direct I/O. RWF_NOWAIT is translated to IOCB_NOWAIT for iocb->ki_flags. FMODE_AIO_NOWAIT is a flag which identifies the file opened is capable of returning -EAGAIN if the AIO call will block. This must be set by supporting filesystems in the ->open() call. Filesystems xfs, btrfs and ext4 would be supported in the following patches. Reviewed-by:

aio_rw_flags is introduced in struct iocb (using aio_reserved1) which will carry the RWF_* flags. We cannot use aio_flags because they are not checked for validity which may break existing applications. Note, the only place RWF_HIPRI comes in effect is dio_await_one(). All the rest of the locations, aio code return -EIOCBQUEUED before the checks for RWF_HIPRI. Reviewed-by:

When nvme_kill_queues() is run, queues may be in quiesced state, so we forcibly unquiesce queues to avoid blocking dispatch, and I/O hang can be avoided in remove path. Peviously we use blk_mq_start_stopped_hw_queues() as counterpart of blk_mq_quiesce_queue(), now we have introduced blk_mq_unquiesce_queue(), so use it explicitly.

Queue can be started by other blk-mq APIs and can be used in different cases, this limits uses of blk_mq_quiesce_queue() if it is based on stopping queue, and make its usage very difficult, especially users have to use the stop queue APIs carefully for avoiding to break blk_mq_quiesce_queue(). We have applied the QUIESCED flag for draining and blocking dispatch, so it isn't necessary to stop queue any more. After stopping queue is removed, blk_mq_quiesce_queue() can be used safely and easily, then users won't worry about queue restarting during quiescing at all. Reviewed-by:

Actually what we want to get from blk_mq_quiesce_queue() isn't only to wait for completion of all ongoing .queue_rq(). In the typical context of canceling requests, we need to make sure that the following is done in the dispatch path before starting to cancel requests: - failed dispatched request is finished - busy dispatched request is requeued, and the STARTED flag is cleared So update comment to keep code, doc and our expection consistent.

It is required that no dispatch can happen any more once blk_mq_quiesce_queue() returns, and we don't have such requirement on APIs of stopping queue. But blk_mq_quiesce_queue() still may not block/drain dispatch in the the case of BLK_MQ_S_START_ON_RUN, so use the new introduced flag of QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED and evaluate it inside RCU read-side critical sections for fixing this issue. Also blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is implemented via stopping queue, which limits its uses, and easy to cause race, because any queue restart in other paths may break blk_mq_quiesce_queue(). With the introduced flag of QUEUE_FLAG_QUIESCED, we don't need to depend on stopping queue for quiescing any more. Signed-off-by:

blk_bio_segment_split() makes sure bios have no more than BIO_MAX_PAGES entries in the bi_io_vec. This was done because bio_clone_bioset() (when given a mempool bioset) could not handle larger io_vecs. No driver uses bio_clone_bioset() any more, they all use bio_clone_fast() if anything, and bio_clone_fast() doesn't clone the bi_io_vec. The main user of of bio_clone_bioset() at this level is bounce.c, and bouncing now happens before blk_bio_segment_split(), so that is not of concern. So remove the big helpful comment and the code.

bio_clone() is no longer used. Only bio_clone_bioset() or bio_clone_fast(). This is for the best, as bio_clone() used fs_bio_set, and filesystems are unlikely to want to use bio_clone(). So remove bio_clone() and all references. This includes a fix to some incorrect documentation. Reviewed-by:

This function allocates a bio, then a collection of pages. It copes with failure. It currently uses a mempool() to allocate the bio, but alloc_page() to allocate the pages. These fail in different ways, so the usage is inconsistent. Change the bio_clone() to bio_clone_kmalloc() so that no pool is used either for the bio or the pages. Reviewed-by:

pblk_submit_read() uses bio_clone_bioset() but doesn't change the io_vec, so bio_clone_fast() is a better choice. It also uses fs_bio_set which is intended for filesystems. Using it in a device driver can deadlock. So allocate a new bioset, and and use bio_clone_fast(). Reviewed-by:

pktcdvd doesn't change the bi_io_vec of the clone bio, so it is more efficient to use bio_clone_fast(), and not clone the bi_io_vec. This requires providing a bio_set, and it is safest to provide a dedicated bio_set rather than sharing fs_bio_set, which filesytems use. This new bio_set, pkt_bio_set, can also be use for the bio_split() call as the two allocations (bio_clone_fast, and bio_split) are independent, neither can block a bio allocated by the other.

drbd does not modify the bi_io_vec of the cloned bio, so there is no need to clone that part. So bio_clone_fast() is the better choice. For bio_clone_fast() we need to specify a bio_set. We could use fs_bio_set, which bio_clone() uses, or drbd_md_io_bio_set, which drbd uses for metadata, but it is generally best to avoid sharing bio_sets unless you can be certain that there are no interdependencies. So create a new bio_set, drbd_io_bio_set, and use bio_clone_fast(). Also remove a "XXX cannot fail ???" comment because it definitely cannot fail - bio_clone_fast() doesn't fail if the GFP flags allow for sleeping. Reviewed-by:

bio_clone() makes a copy of the bi_io_vec, but rbd never changes that, so there is no need for a copy. bio_clone_fast() can be used instead, which avoids making the copy. This requires that we provide a bio_set. bio_clone() uses fs_bio_set, but it isn't, in general, safe to use the same bio_set at different levels of the stack, as that can lead to deadlocks. As filesystems use fs_bio_set, block devices shouldn't. As rbd never stacks, it is safe to have a single global bio_set for all rbd devices to use. So allocate that when the module is initialised, and use it with bio_clone_fast(). Reviewed-by:

Since commit 23688bf4 ("block: ensure to split after potentially bouncing a bio") blk_queue_bounce() is called *before* blk_queue_split(). This means that: 1/ the comments blk_queue_split() about bounce buffers are irrelevant, and 2/ a very large bio (more than BIO_MAX_PAGES) will no longer be split before it arrives at blk_queue_bounce(), leading to the possibility that bio_clone_bioset() will fail and a NULL will be dereferenced. Separately, blk_queue_bounce() shouldn't use fs_bio_set as the bio being copied could be from the same set, and this could lead to a deadlock. So: - allocate 2 private biosets for blk_queue_bounce, one for splitting enormous bios and one for cloning bios. - add code to split a bio that exceeds BIO_MAX_PAGES. - Fix up the comments in blk_queue_split() Credit-to: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> (suggested using single bio_for_each_segment loop) Reviewed-by:

A rescuing bioset is only useful if there might be bios from that same bioset on the bio_list_on_stack queue at a time when bio_alloc_bioset() is called. This never applies to q->bio_split. Allocations from q->bio_split are only ever made from blk_queue_split() which is only ever called early in each of various make_request_fn()s. The original bio (call this A) is then passed to generic_make_request() and is placed on the bio_list_on_stack queue, and the bio that was allocated from q->bio_split (B) is processed. The processing of this may cause other bios to be passed to generic_make_request() or may even cause the bio B itself to be passed, possible after some prefix has been split off (using some other bioset). generic_make_request() now guarantees that all of these bios (B and dependants) will be fully processed before the tail of the original bio A gets handled. None of these early bios can possible trigger an allocation from the original q->bio_split as they are either too small to require splitting or (more likely) are destined for a different queue. The next time that the original q->bio_split might be used by this thread is when A is processed again, as it might still be too big to handle directly. By this time there cannot be any other bios allocated from q->bio_split in the generic_make_request() queue. So no rescuing will ever be needed. Reviewed-by:
