swim3 curiously tries to update request parameters before calling
__blk_end_request() when __blk_end_request() will do it anyway, and it
updates request for partial completion manually instead of using
blk_update_request(). Also, it does some spurious checks on rq such
as testing whether rq->sector is negative or current_nr_sectors is
zero right after fetching.
Drop unnecessary stuff and use standard block layer mechanisms.
ubd had its own block request partial completion mechanism, which is
unnecessary as block layer already does it. Kill ubd_end_request()
and ubd_finish() and replace them with direct call to
blk_end_request().

We currently don't do merging on discard requests, but we potentially
could. If we do, then we need to include discard requests in the IO
accounting, or merging would end up decrementing in_flight IO counters
for an IO which never incremented them.
So enable accounting for discard requests.

block: replace end_request() with [__]blk_end_request_cur()
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. Unnecessary local variable res
initialization removed from mtd_blktrans_thread().

block: implement and use [__]blk_end_request_all()
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.

block: move rq->start_time initialization to blk_rq_init()
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.
[ Impact: rq->start_time is valid for all requests ]
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: cleanup, rq->*nr_sectors always updated after req completion ]
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.
Move the two functions to blk-core.c. This prepares for further
interface cleanup.
blk_insert_request() doesn't need to worry about REQ_SOFTBARRIER.
Don't set it. Combined with recent ide updates, REQ_SOFTBARRIER is
now only used in elevator proper and for discard requests.
RQ_NOMERGE_FLAGS already clears defines which REQ flags aren't
mergeable. There is no reason to specify it superflously. It only
adds to confusion. Don't set REQ_NOMERGE for barriers and requests
with specific queueing directive. REQ_NOMERGE is now exclusively used
by the merging code.
blk_start_queueing() is identical to __blk_run_queue() except that it
doesn't check for recursion. None of the current users depends on
blk_start_queueing() running request_fn directly. Replace usages of
blk_start_queueing() with [__]blk_run_queue() and kill it.
[ Impact: removal of mostly duplicate interface function ]
block: merge blk_invoke_request_fn() into __blk_run_queue()
__blk_run_queue wraps blk_invoke_request_fn() such that it
additionally removes plug and bails out early if the queue is empty.
Both extra operations have their own pending mechanisms and don't
cause any harm correctness-wise when they are done superflously.
The only user of blk_invoke_request_fn() being blk_start_queue(),
there isn't much reason to keep both functions around. Merge
blk_invoke_request_fn() into __blk_run_queue() and make
blk_start_queue() use __blk_run_queue() instead.
[ Impact: merge two subtly different internal functions ]
block: enable by default support for large devices and files on 32-bit archs
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.).
While at it:
- Clarify config option help text w.r.t. mounting ext4 filesystems
(they can be mounted with CONFIG_LBD=n but in the read-only mode).
ide-dma: don't reset request fields on dma_timeout_retry()
Impact: drop unnecessary code
Now that everything uses bio and block operations, there is no need to
reset request fields manually when retrying a request. Every field is
guaranteed to be always valid. Drop unnecessary request field
resetting from ide_dma_timeout_retry().
idetape_chrdev_read/write() functions are unnecessarily complex when
everything can be handled in a single loop. Collapse
idetape_add_chrdev_read/write_request() into the rw functions and
simplify the implementation.
ide-tape: use byte size instead of sectors on rw issue functions
Impact: cleanup
Byte size is what most issue functions deal with, make
idetape_queue_rw_tail() and its wrappers take byte size instead of
sector counts. idetape_chrdev_read() and write() functions are
converted to use tape->buffer_size instead of ctl from tape->cap.
This cleans up code a little bit and will ease the next r/w
reimplementation.
With everything using standard mechanisms, there is no need for
idetape_bh anymore. Kill it and use tape->buf, cur and valid to
describe data buffer instead.
Changes worth mentioning are...
* idetape_queue_rq_tail() now always queue tape->buf and and adjusts
buffer state properly before completion.
* idetape_pad_zeros() clears the buffer only once.
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).
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.
ide-atapi,tape,floppy: allow ->pc_callback() to change rq->data_len
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.
ide-tape,floppy: fix failed command completion after request sense
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().
ide-pm uses rq->data to carry pointer to struct request_pm_state
through request queue and rq->special is used to carray pointer to
local struct ide_cmd, which isn't necessary. Use rq->special for
request_pm_state instead and use local ide_cmd in
ide_start_power_step().
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().
ide-atapi: convert ide-{floppy,tape} to using preallocated sense buffer
Since we're issuing REQ_TYPE_SENSE now we need to allow those types of
rqs in the ->do_request callbacks. As a future improvement, sense_len
assignment might be unified across all ATAPI devices. Borislav to
check with specs and test.
As a result, get rid of ide_queue_pc_head() and
drive->request_sense_rq.
tj: * Init request sense ide_atapi_pc from sense request. In the
longer timer, it would probably better to fold
ide_create_request_sense_cmd() into its only current user -
ide_floppy_get_format_progress().
Preallocate a sense request in the ->do_request method and reinitialize
it only on demand, in case it's been consumed in the IRQ handler path.
The reason for this is that we don't want to be mapping rq to bio in
the IRQ path and introduce all kinds of unnecessary hacks to the block
layer.
tj: * Both user and kernel PC requests expect sense data to be stored
in separate storage other than drive->sense_data. Copy sense
data to rq->sense on completion if rq->sense is not NULL. This
fixes bogus sense data on PC requests.
This is in preparation of removing the queueing of a sense request out
of the IRQ handler path.
Use struct request_sense as a general sense buffer for all ATAPI
devices ide-{floppy,tape,cd}.
tj: * blk_get_request(__GFP_WAIT) can't be called from do_request() as
it can cause deadlock. Converted to use inline struct request
and blk_rq_init().
* Added xfer / cdb len selection depending on device type.
* All sense prep logics folded into ide_prep_sense() which never
fails.
* hwif->rq clearing and sense_rq used handling moved into
ide_queue_sense_rq().
* blk_rq_map_kern() conversion is moved to later patch.
ide-atapi uses rq->buffer as private opaque value for internal special
requests. rq->special isn't used for these cases (the only case where
rq->special is used is for ide-tape rw requests). Use rq->special
instead.
ide_raw_taskfile() directly uses rq->buffer to carry pointer to the
data buffer. This complicates both block interface and ide backend
request handling. Use blk_rq_map_kern() instead and drop special
handling for REQ_TYPE_ATA_TASKFILE from ide_map_sg().
Note that REQ_RW setting is moved upwards as blk_rq_map_kern() uses it
to initialize bio rw flag.
Block pc requests always use bio and rq->data is always NULL. No need
to worry about !rq->bio cases in idefloppy_block_pc_cmd(). Note that
ide-atapi uses ide_pio_bytes() for bio PIO transfer which handle sg
fine.
ide-cd: clear sense buffer before issuing request sense
Impact: code simplification
ide_cd_request_sense_fixup() clears the tail of the sense buffer if
the device didn't completely fill it. This patch makes
cdrom_queue_request_sense() clear the sense buffer before issuing the
command instead of clearing it afterwards. This simplifies code and
eases future changes.
ide_tape_issue_pc() assumed drive->pc isn't NULL on invocation when
checking for back-to-back request sense issues but drive->pc can be
NULL and even when it's not NULL, it's not safe to dereference it once
the previous command is complete because pc could have been freed or
was on stack. Kill back-to-back REQUEST_SENSE detection.
block: clear req->errors on bio completion only for fs requests
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.
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.

Since some linker scripts do more complex things than referencing
HEAD_TEXT, we add a HEAD_TEXT_SECTION macro that just contains the
actual name.
I've defined HEAD_TEXT_SECTION in a new header,
include/linux/section-names.h, so that this section name only needs to
appear in one place. I anticipate creating similar macro structures
for a number of other section names.
The long-term goal here is to be able to change the kernel's magic
section names to those that are compatible with -ffunction-sections
-fdata-sections. This requires renaming all magic sections with names
of the form ".text.foo".

PM/Hibernate: Fix waiting for image device to appear on resume
Commit c751085943362143f84346d274e0011419c84202 ("PM/Hibernate: Wait for
SCSI devices scan to complete during resume") added a call to
scsi_complete_async_scans() to software_resume(), so that it waited for
the SCSI scanning to complete, but the call was added at a wrong place.
Namely, it should have been added after wait_for_device_probe(), which
is called only if the image partition hasn't been specified yet. Also,
it's reasonable to check if the image partition is present and only wait
for the device probing and SCSI scanning to complete if it is not the
case.
Additionally, since noresume is checked right at the beginning of
software_resume() and the function returns immediately if it's set, it
doesn't make sense to check it once again later.

ROMFS: Advance destination buffer pointer when reading from a blockdev
RomFS should advance the destination buffer pointer when reading data from a
blockdev source (the data may be split over multiple blocks, each requiring its
own sb_read() call). Without this, all the data is copied to the beginning of
the output buffer.

ROMFS: romfs_lookup() shouldn't be doing a partial name comparison
romfs_lookup() should be using a routine akin to strcmp() on the backing store,
rather than one akin to strncmp(). If it uses the latter, it's liable to match
/bin/shutdown when looking up /bin/sh.

virtio-rng: Remove false BUG for spurious callbacks
The virtio-rng drivers checks for spurious callbacks. Since

could lead to guest kernel oopses with lots of virtio devices.
