It blindly copies everything in the io_context, including the lock.
That doesn't work so well for either lock ordering or lockdep.
There seems zero point in swapping io contexts on a request to request
merge, so the best point of action is to just remove it.

Since it's acquired from irq context, all locking must be of the
irq safe variant. Most are already inside the queue lock (which
already disables interrupts), but the io scheduler rmmod path
always has irqs enabled and the put_io_context() path may legally
be called with irqs enabled (even if it isn't usually). So fixup
those two.

If the two requests belong to the same io context, we will attempt
to lock the same lock twice. But swapping contexts is pointless in
that case, so just check for rioc == nioc before doing the double
lock and copy.

Currently you must be root to set idle io prio class on a process. This
is due to the fact that the idle class is implemented as a true idle
class, meaning that it will not make progress if someone else is
requesting disk access. Unfortunately this means that it opens DOS
opportunities by locking down file system resources, hence it is root
only at the moment.
This patch relaxes the idle class a little, by removing the truly idle
part (which entals a grace period with associated timer). The
modifications make the idle class as close to zero impact as can be done
while still guarenteeing progress. This means we can relax the root only
criteria as well.

These DMA drain buffer implementations in drivers are pretty horrible
to do in terms of manipulating the scatterlist. Plus they're being
done at least in drivers/ide and drivers/ata, so we now have code
duplication.
The one use case for this, as I understand it is AHCI controllers doing
PIO mode to mmc devices but translating this to DMA at the controller
level.
So, what about adding a callback to the block layer that permits the
adding of the drain buffer for the problem devices. The idea is that
you'd do this in slave_configure after you find one of these devices.
The beauty of doing it in the block layer is that it quietly adds the
drain buffer to the end of the sg list, so it automatically gets mapped
(and unmapped) without anything unusual having to be done to the
scatterlist in driver/scsi or drivers/ata and without any alteration to
the transfer length.

changes to anticipatory io scheduler for io_context sharing
Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
|
|
The io context sharing introduced a per-ioc spinlock, that would protect
the cfq io context lookup. That is a regression from the original, since
we never needed any locking there because the ioc/cic were process private.
The cic lookup is changed from an rbtree construct to a radix tree, which
we can then use RCU to make the reader side lockless. That is the performance
critical path, modifying the radix tree is only done on process creation
(when that process first does IO, actually) and on process exit (if that
process has done IO).
As it so happens, radix trees are also much faster for this type of
lookup where the key is a pointer. It's a very sparse tree.

This patch merges complete_request() into end_that_request_last()
for cleanup.
complete_request() was introduced by earlier part of this patch-set,
not to break the existing users of end_that_request_last().
Since all users are converted to blk_end_request interfaces and
end_that_request_last() is no longer exported, the code can be
merged to end_that_request_last().

This patch adds a variant of the interface, blk_end_bidi_request(),
which completes a bidi request.
Bidi request must be completed as a whole, both rq and rq->next_rq
at once. So the interface has 2 arguments for completion size.
As for ->end_io, only rq->end_io is called (rq->next_rq->end_io is not
called). So if special completion handling is needed, the handler
must be set to rq->end_io.
And the handler must take care of freeing next_rq too, since
the interface doesn't care of it if rq->end_io is not NULL.

This patch adds a variant of the interface, blk_end_request_callback(),
which has driver callback feature.
Drivers may need to do special works between end_that_request_first()
and end_that_request_last().
For such drivers, blk_end_request_callback() allows it to pass
a callback function which is called between end_that_request_first()
and end_that_request_last().
This interface is only for fallback of other blk_end_request interfaces.
Drivers should avoid their tricky behaviors and use other interfaces
as much as possible.
Currently, only one driver, ide-cd, needs this interface.
So this interface should/will be removed, after the driver removes
such tricky behaviors.
o ide-cd (cdrom_newpc_intr())
In PIO mode, cdrom_newpc_intr() needs to defer end_that_request_last()
until the device clears DRQ_STAT and raises an interrupt after
end_that_request_first().
So end_that_request_first() and end_that_request_last() are called
separately in cdrom_newpc_intr().
This means blk_end_request_callback() has to return without
completing request even if no leftover in the request.
To satisfy the requirement, callback function has return value
so that drivers can tell blk_end_request_callback() to return
without completing request.

This patch converts core parts of block layer to use blk_end_request
interfaces. Related 'uptodate' arguments are converted to 'error'.
'dequeue' argument was originally introduced for end_dequeued_request(),
where no attempt should be made to dequeue the request as it's already
dequeued.
However, it's not necessary as it can be checked with
list_empty(&rq->queuelist).
(Dequeued request has empty list and queued request doesn't.)
And it has been done in blk_end_request interfaces.
As a result of this patch, end_queued_request() and
end_dequeued_request() become identical. A future patch will merge
and rename them and change users of those functions.

This patch adds 2 new interfaces for request completion:
o blk_end_request() : called without queue lock
o __blk_end_request() : called with queue lock held
blk_end_request takes 'error' as an argument instead of 'uptodate',
which current end_that_request_* take.
The meanings of values are below and the value is used when bio is
completed.
0 : success
< 0 : error
Some device drivers call some generic functions below between
end_that_request_{first/chunk} and end_that_request_last().
o add_disk_randomness()
o blk_queue_end_tag()
o blkdev_dequeue_request()
These are called in the blk_end_request interfaces as a part of
generic request completion.
So all device drivers become to call above functions.
To decide whether to call blkdev_dequeue_request(), blk_end_request
uses list_empty(&rq->queuelist) (blk_queued_rq() macro is added for it).
So drivers must re-initialize it using list_init() or so before calling
blk_end_request if drivers use it for its specific purpose.
(Currently, there is no driver which completes request without
re-initializing the queuelist after used it. So rq->queuelist
can be used for the purpose above.)
"Normal" drivers can be converted to use blk_end_request()
in a standard way shown below.
a) end_that_request_{chunk/first}
spin_lock_irqsave()
(add_disk_randomness(), blk_queue_end_tag(), blkdev_dequeue_request())
end_that_request_last()
spin_unlock_irqrestore()
=> blk_end_request()
b) spin_lock_irqsave()
end_that_request_{chunk/first}
(add_disk_randomness(), blk_queue_end_tag(), blkdev_dequeue_request())
end_that_request_last()
spin_unlock_irqrestore()
=> spin_lock_irqsave()
__blk_end_request()
spin_unlock_irqsave()
c) spin_lock_irqsave()
(add_disk_randomness(), blk_queue_end_tag(), blkdev_dequeue_request())
end_that_request_last()
spin_unlock_irqrestore()
=> blk_end_request() or spin_lock_irqsave()
__blk_end_request()

Since the SCSI layer uses the request queues from the block layer, blktrace can
also be used to trace the requests to all SCSI devices (like SCSI tape drives),
not only disks. The only missing part is the ioctl interface to start and stop
tracing.
This patch adds the SETUP, START, STOP and TEARDOWN ioctls from blktrace to the
sg device files. With this change, blktrace can be used for SCSI devices like
for disks, e.g.: blktrace -d /dev/sg1 -o - | blkparse -i -

The purpose of this is to allow stacked alignment settings, with the
ultimate queue alignment being set to the largest alignment requirement
in the stack.
The reason for this is so that the SCSI mid-layer can relax the default
alignment requirements (which are basically causing a lot of superfluous
copying to go on in the SG_IO interface) while allowing transports,
devices or HBAs to add stricter limits if they need them.
