blk-mq: provide a default queue mapping for virtio device

block: Add Sed-opal library

2017-02-06T16:44:19+00:00

This patch implements the necessary logic to bring an Opal enabled drive out of a factory-enabled into a working Opal state. This patch set also enables logic to save a password to be replayed during a resume from suspend.

block: make scsi_request and scsi ioctl support optional

2017-01-31T17:53:05+00:00

We only need this code to support scsi, ide, cciss and virtio. And at least for virtio it's a deprecated feature to start with. This should shrink the kernel size for embedded device that only use, say eMMC a bit. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blk-mq: fix debugfs compilation issues

2017-01-27T22:03:01+00:00

This fixes a couple of problems: 1. In the !CONFIG_DEBUG_FS case, the stub definitions were bogus. 2. In the !CONFIG_BLOCK case, blk-mq-debugfs.c shouldn't be compiled at all. Fix the stub definitions and add a CONFIG_BLK_DEBUG_FS Kconfig option. Fixes: 07e4fead45e6 ("blk-mq: create debugfs directory tree") Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval Augment Kconfig description.

block: hook up writeback throttling

2016-11-10T20:53:40+00:00

Enable throttling of buffered writeback to make it a lot more smooth, and has way less impact on other system activity. Background writeback should be, by definition, background activity. The fact that we flush huge bundles of it at the time means that it potentially has heavy impacts on foreground workloads, which isn't ideal. We can't easily limit the sizes of writes that we do, since that would impact file system layout in the presence of delayed allocation. So just throttle back buffered writeback, unless someone is waiting for it. The algorithm for when to throttle takes its inspiration in the CoDel networking scheduling algorithm. Like CoDel, blk-wb monitors the minimum latencies of requests over a window of time. In that window of time, if the minimum latency of any request exceeds a given target, then a scale count is incremented and the queue depth is shrunk. The next monitoring window is shrunk accordingly. Unlike CoDel, if we hit a window that exhibits good behavior, then we simply increment the scale count and re-calculate the limits for that scale value. This prevents us from oscillating between a close-to-ideal value and max all the time, instead remaining in the windows where we get good behavior. Unlike CoDel, blk-wb allows the scale count to to negative. This happens if we primarily have writes going on. Unlike positive scale counts, this doesn't change the size of the monitoring window. When the heavy writers finish, blk-bw quickly snaps back to it's stable state of a zero scale count. The patch registers a sysfs entry, 'wb_lat_usec'. This sets the latency target to me met. It defaults to 2 msec for non-rotational storage, and 75 msec for rotational storage. Setting this value to '0' disables blk-wb. Generally, a user would not have to touch this setting. We don't enable WBT on devices that are managed with CFQ, and have a non-root block cgroup attached. If we have a proportional share setup on this particular disk, then the wbt throttling will interfere with that. We don't have a strong need for wbt for that case, since we will rely on CFQ doing that for us. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blk-mq: Introduce blk_mq_quiesce_queue()

2016-11-02T18:50:19+00:00

blk_mq_quiesce_queue() waits until ongoing .queue_rq() invocations have finished. This function does *not* wait until all outstanding requests have finished (this means invocation of request.end_io()). The algorithm used by blk_mq_quiesce_queue() is as follows: * Hold either an RCU read lock or an SRCU read lock around .queue_rq() calls. The former is used if .queue_rq() does not block and the latter if .queue_rq() may block. * blk_mq_quiesce_queue() first calls blk_mq_stop_hw_queues() followed by synchronize_srcu() or synchronize_rcu(). The latter call waits for .queue_rq() invocations that started before blk_mq_quiesce_queue() was called. * The blk_mq_hctx_stopped() calls that control whether or not .queue_rq() will be called are called with the (S)RCU read lock held. This is necessary to avoid race conditions against blk_mq_quiesce_queue().

block: Implement support for zoned block devices

2016-10-18T16:05:40+00:00

Implement zoned block device zone information reporting and reset. Zone information are reported as struct blk_zone. This implementation does not differentiate between host-aware and host-managed device models and is valid for both. Two functions are provided: blkdev_report_zones for discovering the zone configuration of a zoned block device, and blkdev_reset_zones for resetting the write pointer of sequential zones. The helper function blk_queue_zone_size and bdev_zone_size are also provided for, as the name suggest, obtaining the zone size (in 512B sectors) of the zones of the device.
