| * block: cope with WRITE ZEROES failing in blkdev_issue_zeroout()Ilya Dryomov2017-10-251-10/+35
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sd_config_write_same() ignores ->max_ws_blocks == 0 and resets it to permit trying WRITE SAME on older SCSI devices, unless ->no_write_same is set. Because REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES is implemented in terms of WRITE SAME, blkdev_issue_zeroout() may fail with -EREMOTEIO: $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg fallocate: fallocate failed: Remote I/O error $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK $ fallocate -zn -l 1k /dev/sdg # OK The following calls succeed because sd_done() sets ->no_write_same in response to a sense that would become BLK_STS_TARGET/-EREMOTEIO, causing __blkdev_issue_zeroout() to fall back to generating ZERO_PAGE bios. This means blkdev_issue_zeroout() must cope with WRITE ZEROES failing and fall back to manually zeroing, unless BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK is specified. For BLKDEV_ZERO_NOFALLBACK case, return -EOPNOTSUPP if sd_done() has just set ->no_write_same thus indicating lack of offload support.

* | License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions indexChristoph Hellwig2017-08-231-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code). For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists once per block device. But given that the block layer also does partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is used for said remapping in generic_make_request. Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all over the stack.

* block: Fix __blkdev_issue_zeroout loopDamien Le Moal2017-07-061-5/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The BIO issuing loop in __blkdev_issue_zeroout() is allocating BIOs with a maximum number of bvec (pages) equal to min(nr_sects, (sector_t)BIO_MAX_PAGES) This works since the requested number of bvecs will always be limited to the absolute maximum number supported (BIO_MAX_PAGES), but this is ineficient as too many bvec entries may be requested due to the different units being used in the min() operation (number of sectors vs number of pages). To fix this, introduce the helper __blkdev_sectors_to_bio_pages() to correctly calculate the number of bvecs for zeroout BIOs as the issuing loop progresses. The calculation is done using consistent units and makes sure that the number of pages return is at least 1 (for cases where the number of sectors is less that the number of sectors in a page). Also remove a trailing space after the bit shift in the internal loop min() call.

* block: improve handling of the magic discard payloadChristoph Hellwig2016-12-091-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of allocating a single unused biovec for discard requests, send them down without any payload. Instead we allow the driver to add a "special" payload using a biovec embedded into struct request (unioned over other fields never used while in the driver), and overloading the number of segments for this case. This has a couple of advantages: - we don't have to allocate the bio_vec - the amount of special casing for discard requests in the block layer is significantly reduced - using this same scheme for other request types is trivial, which will be important for implementing the new WRITE_ZEROES op on devices where it actually requires a payload (e.g. SCSI) - we can get rid of playing games with the request length, as we'll never touch it and completions will work just fine - it will allow us to support ranged discard operations in the future by merging non-contiguous discard bios into a single request - last but not least it removes a lot of code This patch is the common base for my WIP series for ranges discards and to remove discard_zeroes_data in favor of always using REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES, so it would be good to get it in quickly.

This allows to implement zeroing for devices that don't use either discard with a predictable zero pattern or WRITE SAME of zeroes.

For this operation, suitable entry is exported in sysfs which indicate the number of maximum bytes allowed in one write zeroes operation by the device.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that we don't need the common flags to overflow outside the range of a 32-bit type we can encode them the same way for both the bio and request fields. This in addition allows us to place the operation first (and make some room for more ops while we're at it) and to stop having to shift around the operation values. In addition this allows passing around only one value in the block layer instead of two (and eventuall also in the file systems, but we can do that later) and thus clean up a lot of code. Last but not least this allows decreasing the size of the cmd_flags field in struct request to 32-bits. Various functions passing this value could also be updated, but I'd like to avoid the churn for now. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 38f25255330 ("block: add __blkdev_issue_discard") incorrectly disallowed the early return of -EOPNOTSUPP if the device doesn't support discard (or secure discard). This early return of -EOPNOTSUPP has always been part of blkdev_issue_discard() interface so there isn't a good reason to break that behaviour -- especially when it can be easily reinstated. The nuance of allowing early return of -EOPNOTSUPP vs disallowing late return of -EOPNOTSUPP is: if the overall device never advertised support for discards and one is issued to the device it is beneficial to inform the caller that discards are not supported via -EOPNOTSUPP. But if a device advertises discard support it means that at least a subset of the device does have discard support -- but it could be that discards issued to some regions of a stacked device will not be supported. In that case the late return of -EOPNOTSUPP must be disallowed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO: (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario. Having both mechanisms available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds of error returns. So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blkdev_issue_discard() will zero a given block range. This is done by way of explicit writing, thus provisioning or allocating the blocks on disk. There are use cases where the desired behavior is to zero the blocks but unprovision them if possible. The blocks must deterministically contain zeroes when they are subsequently read back. This patch adds a flag to blkdev_issue_zeroout() that provides this variant. If the discard flag is set and a block device guarantees discard_zeroes_data we will use REQ_DISCARD to clear the block range. If the device does not support discard_zeroes_data or if the discard request fails we will fall back to first REQ_WRITE_SAME and then a regular REQ_WRITE. Also update the callers of blkdev_issue_zero() to reflect the new flag and make sb_issue_zeroout() prefer the discard approach. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

As bdev_discard_alignment() returns int, alignment should be int.

* block: split discard into aligned requestsPaolo Bonzini2012-08-021-10/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a disk has large discard_granularity and small max_discard_sectors, discards are not split with optimal alignment. In the limit case of discard_granularity == max_discard_sectors, no request could be aligned correctly, so in fact you might end up with no discarded logical blocks at all. Another example that helps showing the condition in the patch is with discard_granularity == 64, max_discard_sectors == 128. A request that is submitted for 256 sectors 2..257 will be split in two: 2..129, 130..257. However, only 2 aligned blocks out of 3 are included in the request; 128..191 may be left intact and not discarded. With this patch, the first request will be truncated to ensure good alignment of what's left, and the split will be 2..127, 128..255, 256..257. The patch will also take into account the discard_alignment. At most one extra request will be introduced, because the first request will be reduced by at most granularity-1 sectors, and granularity must be less than max_discard_sectors. Subsequent requests will run on round_down(max_discard_sectors, granularity) sectors, as in the current code.
