Anna Leuschner 386bc35a2d vfs: fix: don't increase bio_slab_max if krealloc() fails
Without the patch, bio_slab_max, representing bio_slabs capacity, is increased before krealloc() of bio_slabs. If krealloc() fails, bio_slab_max is too high. Fix that by only updating bio_slab_max if krealloc() is successful.

Martin K. Petersen 4363ac7c13 block: Implement support for WRITE SAME
The WRITE SAME command supported on some SCSI devices allows the same
block to be efficiently replicated throughout a block range. Only a
single logical block is transferred from the host and the storage device
writes the same data to all blocks described by the I/O.

This patch implements support for WRITE SAME in the block layer. The
blkdev_issue_write_same() function can be used by filesystems and block
drivers to replicate a buffer across a block range. This can be used to
efficiently initialize software RAID devices, etc.

Kent Overstreet bf800ef181 block: Add bio_clone_bioset(), bio_clone_kmalloc()
Previously, there was bio_clone() but it only allocated from the fs bio
set; as a result various users were open coding it and using
__bio_clone().

This changes bio_clone() to become bio_clone_bioset(), and then we add
bio_clone() and bio_clone_kmalloc() as wrappers around it, making use of
the functionality the last patch adedd.

This will also help in a later patch changing how bio cloning works.

Kent Overstreet 3f86a82aeb block: Consolidate bio_alloc_bioset(), bio_kmalloc()
Previously, bio_kmalloc() and bio_alloc_bioset() behaved slightly
different because there was some almost-duplicated code - this fixes
some of that.

The important change is that previously bio_kmalloc() always set
bi_io_vec = bi_inline_vecs, even if nr_iovecs == 0 - unlike
bio_alloc_bioset(). This would cause bio_has_data() to return true; I
don't know if this resulted in any actual bugs but it was certainly
wrong.

bio_kmalloc() and bio_alloc_bioset() also have different arbitrary
limits on nr_iovecs - 1024 (UIO_MAXIOV) for bio_kmalloc(), 256
(BIO_MAX_PAGES) for bio_alloc_bioset(). This patch doesn't fix that, but
at least they're enforced closer together and hopefully they will be
fixed in a later patch.

This'll also help with some future cleanups - there are a fair number of
functions that allocate bios (e.g. bio_clone()), and now they don't have
to be duplicated for bio_alloc(), bio_alloc_bioset(), and bio_kmalloc().

Kent Overstreet 4254bba17d block: Kill bi_destructor
Now that we've got generic code for freeing bios allocated from bio
pools, this isn't needed anymore.

This patch also makes bio_free() static, since without bi_destructor
there should be no need for it to be called anywhere else.

bio_free() is now only called from bio_put, so we can refactor those a
bit - move some code from bio_put() to bio_free() and kill the redundant
bio->bi_next = NULL.

v5: Switch to BIO_KMALLOC_POOL ((void *)~0), per Boaz

Kent Overstreet f44b48c769 block: Add bio_reset()
Reusing bios is something that's been highly frowned upon in the past,
but driver code keeps doing it anyways. If it's going to happen anyways,
we should provide a generic method.

This'll help with getting rid of bi_destructor - drivers/block/pktcdvd.c
was open coding it, by doing a bio_init() and resetting bi_destructor.

This required reordering struct bio, but the block layer is not yet
nearly fast enough for any cacheline effects to matter here.

bio->bi_flags are saved.

Kent Overstreet 395c72a707 block: Generalized bio pool freeing
With the old code, when you allocate a bio from a bio pool you have to
implement your own destructor that knows how to find the bio pool the
bio was originally allocated from.

This adds a new field to struct bio (bi_pool) and changes
bio_alloc_bioset() to use it. This makes various bio destructors
unnecessary, so they're then deleted.

bvec_alloc_bs(), which fails the bio allocation if

Limiting to queue_max_segments() is not sufficient, as max_segments

Tejun Heo 852c788f83 block: implement bio_associate_current()
IO scheduling and cgroup are tied to the issuing task via io_context
and cgroup of %current.  Unfortunately, there are cases where IOs need
to be routed via a different task which makes scheduling and cgroup
limit enforcement applied completely incorrectly.

For example, all bios delayed by blk-throttle end up being issued by a
delayed work item and get assigned the io_context of the worker task
which happens to serve the work item and dumped to the default block
cgroup.  This is double confusing as bios which aren't delayed end up
in the correct cgroup and makes using blk-throttle and cfq propio
together impossible.

Any code which punts IO issuing to another task is affected which is
getting more and more common (e.g. btrfs).  As both io_context and
cgroup are firmly tied to task including userland visible APIs to
manipulate them, it makes a lot of sense to match up tasks to bios.

This patch implements bio_associate_current() which associates the
specified bio with %current.  The bio will record the associated ioc
and blkcg at that point and block layer will use the recorded ones
regardless of which task actually ends up issuing the bio.  bio
release puts the associated ioc and blkcg.

It grabs and remembers ioc and blkcg instead of the task itself
because task may already be dead by the time the bio is issued making
ioc and blkcg inaccessible and those are all block layer cares about.

elevator_set_req_fn() is updated such that the bio elvdata is being
allocated for is available to the elevator.

This doesn't update block cgroup policies yet.  Further patches will
implement the support.

-v2: #ifdef CONFIG_BLK_CGROUP added around bio->bi_ioc dereference in
     rq_ioc() to fix build breakage.

Kent Overstreet 5abebfdd02 bio: don't overflow in bio_get_nr_vecs()
There were two places bio_get_nr_vecs() could overflow:

First, it did a left shift to convert from sectors to bytes immediately
before dividing by PAGE_SIZE.  If PAGE_SIZE ever was less than 512 a great
many things would break, so dividing by PAGE_SIZE >> 9 is safe and will
generate smaller code too.

The nastier overflow was in the DIV_ROUND_UP() (that's what the code was
effectively doing, anyways).  If n + d overflowed, the whole thing would
return 0 which breaks things rather effectively.

bio_get_nr_vecs() doesn't claim to give an exact value anyways, so the
DIV_ROUND_UP() is silly; we could do a straight divide except if a
device's queue_max_sectors was less than PAGE_SIZE we'd return 0.  So we
just add 1; this should always be safe - things will break badly if
bio_get_nr_vecs() returns > BIO_MAX_PAGES (bio_alloc() will suddenly start
failing) but it's queue_max_segments that must guard against this, if
queue_max_sectors is preventing this from happen things are going to
explode on architectures with different PAGE_SIZE.

Dmitry Monakhov 8bf8c376ab blkdev: fix merge_bvec_fn return value checks v2
merge_bvec_fn() returns bvec->bv_len on success. So we have to check
against this value. But in case of fs_optimization merge we compare
with wrong value. This patch must be included in
 b428cd6da7e6559aca69aa2e3a526037d3f20403
But accidentally i've forgot to add this in the initial patch.
To make things straight let's replace all such checks.
In fact this makes code easy to understand.

In commit 451a9ebf65 bio_alloc_bioset()
was refactored not to take NULL as a valid argument for bs. This patch
changes the comment for that function accordingly. Currently, passing
NULL as argument to parameter bs would result in a NULL pointer

Dmitry Monakhov 1d6165851c block: fix bio_add_page for non trivial merge_bvec_fn case
We have to properly decrease bi_size in order to merge_bvec_fn return
right result.  Otherwise this result in false merge rejects for two
absolutely valid bio_vecs.  This may cause significant performance
penalty for example fs_block_size == 1k and block device is raid0 with
small chunk_size = 8k. Then it is impossible to merge 7-th fs-block in
to bio which already has 6 fs-blocks.

Ilya Loginov 2d4dc890b5 block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages
Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

FUJITA Tomonori ecb554a846 block: fix sg SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV regression
I overlooked SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV support when I converted sg to use
the block layer mapping API (2.6.28).

Douglas Gilbert explained SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg37135.html

=
The semantics of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV were:
   - copy user space buffer to kernel (LLD) buffer
   - do SCSI command which is assumed to be of the DATA_IN
     (data from device) variety. This would overwrite
     some or all of the kernel buffer
   - copy kernel (LLD) buffer back to the user space.

The idea was to detect short reads by filling the original
user space buffer with some marker bytes ("0xec" it would
seem in this report). The "resid" value is a better way
of detecting short reads but that was only added this century
and requires co-operation from the LLD.
=

This patch changes the block layer mapping API to support this
semantics. This simply adds another field to struct rq_map_data and
enables __bio_copy_iov() to copy data from user space even with READ
requests.

It's better to add the flags field and kills null_mapped and the new
from_user fields in struct rq_map_data but that approach makes it
difficult to send this patch to stable trees because st and osst
drivers use struct rq_map_data (they were converted to use the block
layer in 2.6.29 and 2.6.30). Well, I should clean up the block layer
mapping API.

Martin K. Petersen 7878cba9f0 block: Create bip slabs with embedded integrity vectors
This patch restores stacking ability to the block layer integrity
infrastructure by creating a set of dedicated bip slabs.  Each bip slab
has an embedded bio_vec array at the end.  This cuts down on memory
allocations and also simplifies the code compared to the original bvec
version.  Only the largest bip slab is backed by a mempool.  The pool is
contained in the bio_set so stacking drivers can ensure forward
progress.
