2009-04-28block: replace end_request() with [__]blk_end_request_cur()Tejun Heo19-126/+128
end_request() has been kept around for backward compatibility; however, it's about time for it to go away. * There aren't too many users left. * Its use of @updtodate is pretty confusing. * In some cases, newer code ends up using mixture of end_request() and [__]blk_end_request[_all](), which is way too confusing. So, add [__]blk_end_request_cur() and replace end_request() with it. Most conversions are straightforward. Noteworthy ones are... * paride/pcd: next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0. * paride/pf: pf_end_request() and next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0. * xd: xd_readwrite() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0. * mtd/mtd_blkdevs: blktrans_discard_request() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0.

2009-04-28block: implement and use [__]blk_end_request_all()Tejun Heo15-73/+58
There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with full request length and expect full completion. Many of them ensure that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return value, which is awkward and error-prone. This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error and fully completes the request. BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that this actually happens. Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones. * cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to __blk_end_request_all(). * s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to __blk_end_request_all(). * s390/char/tape_block: tapeblock_end_request() replaced with direct calls to blk_end_request_all().

2009-04-28block: move rq->start_time initialization to blk_rq_init()Tejun Heo1-1/+1
rq->start_time was initialized in init_request_from_bio() so special requests didn't have start_time set. This has been okay as start_time has been used only for fs requests; however, there is no indication of this actually is the case or not. Set rq->start_time in blk_rq_init() and guarantee that all initialized rq's have its start_time set. This improves consistency at virtually no cost and future changes will make use of the timestamp for !bio requests.

2009-04-28block: clean up request completion APITejun Heo2-163/+157
Request completion has gone through several changes and became a bit messy over the time. Clean it up. 1. end_that_request_data() is a thin wrapper around end_that_request_data_first() which checks whether bio is NULL before doing anything and handles bidi completion. blk_update_request() is a thin wrapper around end_that_request_data() which clears nr_sectors on the last iteration but doesn't use the bidi completion. Clean it up by moving the initial bio NULL check and nr_sectors clearing on the last iteration into end_that_request_data() and renaming it to blk_update_request(), which makes blk_end_io() the only user of end_that_request_data(). Collapse end_that_request_data() into blk_end_io(). 2. There are four visible completion variants - blk_end_request(), __blk_end_request(), blk_end_bidi_request() and end_request(). blk_end_request() and blk_end_bidi_request() uses blk_end_request() as the backend but __blk_end_request() and end_request() use separate implementation in __blk_end_request() due to different locking rules. blk_end_bidi_request() is identical to blk_end_io(). Collapse blk_end_io() into blk_end_bidi_request(), separate out request update into internal helper blk_update_bidi_request() and add __blk_end_bidi_request(). Redefine [__]blk_end_request() as thin inline wrappers around [__]blk_end_bidi_request(). 3. As the whole request issue/completion usages are about to be modified and audited, it's a good chance to convert completion functions return bool which better indicates the intended meaning of return values. 4. The function name end_that_request_last() is from the days when it was a public interface and slighly confusing. Give it a proper internal name - blk_finish_request(). 5. Add description explaning that blk_end_bidi_request() can be safely used for uni requests as suggested by Boaz Harrosh. The only visible behavior change is from #1. nr_sectors counts are cleared after the final iteration no matter which function is used to complete the request. I couldn't find any place where the code assumes those nr_sectors counters contain the values for the last segment and this change is good as it makes the API much more consistent as the end result is now same whether a request is completed using [__]blk_end_request() alone or in combination with blk_update_request(). API further cleaned up per Christoph's suggestion.

Impact: code reorganization elv_next_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are public block layer interface than actual elevator implementation. They mostly deal with how requests interact with block layer and low level drivers at the beginning of rqeuest processing whereas __elv_next_request() is the actual eleveator request fetching interface.

Enable by default support for large devices and files (CONFIG_LBD): - With 1TB disks being a commodity hardware it is quite easy to hit 2TB limitation while building RAIDs etc. and many distros have been using CONFIG_LBD=y by default already (at least Fedora 10 and openSUSE 11.1). - This should also prevent a subtle ext4 filesystem compatibility issue: mke2fs.ext4 defaults to creating filesystems with huge_files feature enabled and such filesystems cannot be later mounted read-write on machines with CONFIG_LBD=n (it should be quite easy to hit this issue when trying to use filesystem created using distro kernel on system running the self-build kernel, think about USB disk enclosures & co.).

2009-04-28ide-tape: use standard data transfer mechanismTejun Heo2-94/+24
Impact: use standard way to transfer data ide-tape uses rq in an interesting way. For r/w requests, rq->special is used to carry a private buffer management structure idetape_bh and rq->nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors are initialized to the number of idetape blocks which isn't necessary 512 bytes. Also, rq->current_nr_sectors is used to report back the residual count in units of idetape blocks. This peculiarity taxes both block layer and ide. ide-atapi has different paths and hooks to accomodate it and what a rq means becomes quite confusing and making changes at the block layer becomes quite difficult and error-prone. This patch makes ide-tape use bio instead. With the previous patch, ide-tape currently is using single contiguos buffer so replacing it isn't difficult. Data buffer is mapped into bio using blk_rq_map_kern() in idetape_queue_rw_tail(). idetape_io_buffers() and idetape_update_buffers() are dropped and pc->bh is set to null to tell ide-atapi to use standard data transfer mechanism and idetape_bh byte counts are updated by the issuer on completion using the residual count. This change also nicely removes the FIXME in ide_pc_intr() where ide-tape rqs need to be completed using ide_rq_bytes() instead of blk_rq_bytes() (although this didn't really matter as the request didn't have bio).

2009-04-28ide-tape: use single continuous bufferTejun Heo1-198/+58
Impact: simpler buffer allocation and handling, kills OOM, fix DMA transfers ide-tape has its own multiple buffer mechanism using struct idetape_bh. It allocates buffer with decreasing order-of-two allocations so that it results in minimum number of segments. However, the implementation is quite complex and works in a way that no other block or ide driver works necessitating a lot of special case handling. The benefit this complex allocation scheme brings is questionable as PIO or DMA the number of segments (16 maximum) doesn't make any noticeable difference and it also doesn't negate the need for multiple order allocation which can fail under memory pressure or high fragmentation although it does lower the highest order necessary by one when the buffer size isn't power of two. As the first step to remove the custom buffer management, this patch makes ide-tape allocate single continous buffer. The maximum order is four. I doubt the change would cause any trouble but if it ever matters, it should be converted to regular sg mechanism like everyone else and even in that case dropping custom buffer handling and moving to standard mechanism first make sense as an intermediate step. This patch makes the first bh to contain the whole buffer and drops multi bh handling code. Following patches will make further changes. This patch has the side effect of killing OOM triggered by allocation path and fixing DMA transfers. Previously, bug in alloc path triggered OOM on command issue and commands were passed to DMA engine without DMA-mapping all the segments. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-04-28ide-atapi,tape,floppy: allow ->pc_callback() to change rq->data_lenTejun Heo3-8/+18
Impact: allow residual count implementation in ->pc_callback() rq->data_len has two duties - carrying the number of input bytes on issue and carrying residual count back to the issuer on completion. ide-atapi completion callback ->pc_callback() is the right place to do this but currently ide-atapi depends on rq->data_len carrying the original request size after calling ->pc_callback() to complete the pc request. This patch makes ide_pc_intr(), ide_tape_issue_pc() and ide_floppy_issue_pc() cache length to complete before calling ->pc_callback() so that it can modify rq->data_len as necessary. Note: As using rq->data_len for two purposes can make cases like this incorrect in subtle ways, future changes will introduce separate field for residual count.

2009-04-28ide-tape,floppy: fix failed command completion after request senseTejun Heo2-0/+2
Impact: fix infinite retry loop After a command failed, ide-tape and floppy inserts REQUEST_SENSE in front of the failed command and according to the result, sets pc->retries, flags and errors. After REQUEST_SENSE is complete, the failed command is again at the front of the queue and if the verdict was to terminate the request, the issue functions tries to complete it directly by calling drive->pc_callback() and returning ide_stopped. However, drive->pc_callback() doesn't complete a request. It only prepares for completion of the request. As a result, this creates an infinite loop where the failed request is retried perpetually. Fix it by actually ending the request by calling ide_complete_rq(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
2009-04-28ide-pm: don't abuse rq->dataTejun Heo2-24/+16

2009-04-28ide-cd,atapi: use bio for internal commandsTejun Heo5-36/+52
Impact: unify request data buffer handling rq->data is used mostly to pass kernel buffer through request queue without using bio. There are only a couple of places which still do this in kernel and converting to bio isn't difficult. This patch converts ide-cd and atapi to use bio instead of rq->data for request sense and internal pc commands. With previous change to unify sense request handling, this is relatively easily achieved by adding blk_rq_map_kern() during sense_rq prep and PC issue. If blk_rq_map_kern() fails for sense, the error is deferred till sense issue and aborts the failed command which triggered the sense. Note that this is a slim possibility as sense prep is done on each command issue, so for the above condition to actually trigger, all preps since the last sense issue till the issue of the request which would require a sense should fail. * do_request functions might sleep now. This should be okay as ide request_fn - do_ide_request() - is invoked only from make_request and plug work. Make sure this is the case by adding might_sleep() to do_ide_request(). * Functions which access the read sense data before the sense request is complete now should access bio_data(sense_rq->bio) as the sense buffer might have been copied during blk_rq_map_kern(). * ide-tape updated to map sg. * cdrom_do_block_pc() now doesn't have to deal with REQ_TYPE_ATA_PC special case. Simplified. * tp_ops->output/input_data path dropped from ide_pc_intr(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

2009-04-28block: clear req->errors on bio completion only for fs requestsTejun Heo1-3/+7
Impact: subtle behavior change For fs requests, rq is only carrier of bios and rq error status as a whole doesn't mean much. This is the reason why rq->errors is being cleared on each partial completion of a request as on each partial completion the error status is transferred to the respective bios. For pc requests, rq->errors is used to carry error status to the issuer and thus __end_that_request_first() doesn't clear it on such cases. The condition was fine till now as only fs and pc requests have used bio and thus the bio completion path. However, future changes will unify data accesses to bio and all non fs users care about rq error status. Clear rq->errors on bio completion only for fs requests. In general, the implicit clearing is a bit too subtle especially as the meaning of rq->errors is completely dependent on low level drivers. Unifying / cleaning up rq->errors usage and letting llds manage it would be better. TODO comment added. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2009-04-28loop: use BIO list management functionsAkinobu Mita3-22/+9
Now that the bio list management stuff is generic, convert loop to use bio lists instead of its own private bio list implementation.

2009-04-28hd: fix lockingTejun Heo1-10/+7
hd dance around local irq and HD_IRQ enable without achieving much. It ends up transferring data from irq handler with both local irq and HD_IRQ disabled. The only place it actually does something is while transferring the first block of a request which it does with HD_IRQ disabled but local irq enabled. Unfortunately, the dancing is horribly broken from locking POV. IRQ and timeout handlers access block queue without grabbing the queue lock and running the driver in SMP configuration crashes the whole machine pretty quickly. Remove meaningless irq enable/disable dancing and add proper locking in issue, irq and timeout paths. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
