2011-05-06blkdev: Do not return -EOPNOTSUPP if discard is supportedLukas Czerner
Currently we return -EOPNOTSUPP in blkdev_issue_discard() if any of the bio fails due to underlying device not supporting discard request. However, if the device is for example dm device composed of devices which some of them support discard and some of them does not, it is ok for some bios to fail with EOPNOTSUPP, but it does not mean that discard is not supported at all. This commit removes the check for bios failed with EOPNOTSUPP and change blkdev_issue_discard() to return operation not supported if and only if the device does not actually supports it, not just part of the device as some bios might indicate. This change also fixes problem with BLKDISCARD ioctl() which now works correctly on such dm devices.

2011-05-06blkdev: Simple cleanup in blkdev_issue_zeroout()Lukas Czerner
In blkdev_issue_zeroout() we are submitting regular WRITE bios, so we do not need to check for -EOPNOTSUPP specifically in case of error. Also there is no need to have label submit: because there is no way to jump out from the while cycle without an error and we really want to exit, rather than try again. And also remove the check for (sz == 0) since at that point sz can never be zero.

2011-05-06blkdev: Submit discard bio in batches in blkdev_issue_discard()Lukas Czerner
Currently we are waiting for every submitted REQ_DISCARD bio separately, but it can have unwanted consequences of repeatedly flushing the queue, so we rather submit bios in batches and wait for the entire batch, hence narrowing the window of other ios going in. Use bio_batch_end_io() and struct bio_batch for that purpose, the same is used by blkdev_issue_zeroout(). Also change bio_batch_end_io() so we always set !BIO_UPTODATE in the case of error and remove the check for bb, since we are the only user of this function and we always set this. Remove bio_get()/bio_put() from the blkdev_issue_discard() since bio_alloc() and bio_batch_end_io() is doing the same thing, hence it is not needed anymore. I have done simple dd testing with surprising results. The script I have used is: for i in $(seq 10); do echo $i dd if=/dev/sdb1 of=/dev/sdc1 bs=4k & sleep 5 done /usr/bin/time -f %e ./blkdiscard /dev/sdc1 Running time of BLKDISCARD on the whole device: with patch without patch 0.95 15.58 So we can see that in this artificial test the kernel with the patch applied is approx 16x faster in discarding the device.

2011-03-11block: fix mis-synchronisation in blkdev_issue_zeroout()Lukas Czerner
BZ29402 https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29402 We can hit serious mis-synchronization in bio completion path of blkdev_issue_zeroout() leading to a panic. The problem is that when we are going to wait_for_completion() in blkdev_issue_zeroout() we check if the bb.done equals issued (number of submitted bios). If it does, we can skip the wait_for_completition() and just out of the function since there is nothing to wait for. However, there is a ordering problem because bio_batch_end_io() is calling atomic_inc(&bb->done) before complete(), hence it might seem to blkdev_issue_zeroout() that all bios has been completed and exit. At this point when bio_batch_end_io() is going to call complete(bb->wait), bb and wait does not longer exist since it was allocated on stack in blkdev_issue_zeroout() ==> panic! (thread 1) (thread 2) bio_batch_end_io() blkdev_issue_zeroout() if(bb) { ... if (bb->end_io) ... bb->end_io(bio, err); ... atomic_inc(&bb->done); ... ... while (issued != atomic_read(&bb.done)) ... (let issued == bb.done) ... (do the rest of the function) ... return ret; complete(bb->wait); ^^^^^^^^ panic We can fix this easily by simplifying bio_batch and completion counting. Also remove bio_end_io_t *end_io since it is not used.

2010-09-16block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAITChristoph Hellwig
All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous caller. To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous state machine ahead. So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout. For blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

2010-08-07block: fix problem with sending down discard that isn't of correct granularityJens Axboe
If the queue doesn't have a limit set, or it just set UINT_MAX like we default to, we coud be sending down a discard request that isn't of the correct granularity if the block size is > 512b. Fix this by adjusting max_discard_sectors down to the proper alignment. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
2010-08-07block: don't allocate a payload for discard requestChristoph Hellwig
Allocating a fixed payload for discard requests always was a horrible hack, and it's not coming to byte us when adding support for discard in DM/MD. So change the code to leave the allocation of a payload to the lowlevel driver. Unfortunately that means we'll need another hack, which allows us to update the various block layer length fields indicating that we have a payload. Instead of hiding this in sd.c, which we already partially do for UNMAP support add a documented helper in the core block layer for it.
