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.

v5: Add a define BIO_RESET_BITS, to be very explicit about what parts of
bio->bi_flags are saved.
v6: Further commenting verbosity, per Tejun
v9: Add a function comment

1e2a410ff7 block: Ues bi_pool for bio_integrity_alloc()
Now that bios keep track of where they were allocated from,
bio_integrity_alloc_bioset() becomes redundant.

Remove bio_integrity_alloc_bioset() and drop bio_set argument from the
related functions and make them use bio->bi_pool.

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.

a7e546f175 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block
Pull block-related fixes from Jens Axboe:

 - Improvements to the buffered and direct write IO plugging from
   Fengguang.

 - Abstract out the mapping of a bio in a request, and use that to
   provide a blk_bio_map_sg() helper.  Useful for mapping just a bio
   instead of a full request.

 - Regression fix from Hugh, fixing up a patch that went into the
   previous release cycle (and marked stable, too) attempting to prevent
   a loop in __getblk_slow().

 - Updates to discard requests, fixing up the sizing and how we align
   them.  Also a change to disallow merging of discard requests, since
   that doesn't really work properly yet.

 - A few drbd fixes.

 - Documentation updates.

 "This is a bit bigger on the core side than usual, but that is purely
  because we decided to hold off on parts of Tejun's submission on 3.4

   - Bug fix from Dan, wrong locking type.
   - Relax splice gifting restriction from Eric.
   - A ton of updates from Tejun, primarily for blkcg.  This improves

f908ee9463 bio allocation failure due to bio_get_nr_vecs()
The number of bio_get_nr_vecs() is passed down via bio_alloc() to
bvec_alloc_bs(), which fails the bio allocation if
nr_iovecs > BIO_MAX_PAGES. For the underlying caller this causes an
unexpected bio allocation failure.
Limiting to queue_max_segments() is not sufficient, as max_segments
also might be very large.

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.

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.

121f099412 bio: change some signed vars to unsigned
This is just a cleanup patch to silence a static checker warning.

The problem is that we cap "nr_iovecs" so it can't be larger than
"UIO_MAXIOV" but we don't check for negative values.  It turns out this is
prevented at other layers, but logically it doesn't make sense to have
negative nr_iovecs so making it unsigned is nicer.

9562ad9ab3 block: Remove the control of complete cpu from bio.
bio originally has the functionality to set the complete cpu, but
it is broken.

Chirstoph said that "This code is unused, and from the all the
discussions lately pretty obviously broken.  The only thing keeping
it serves is creating more confusion and possibly more bugs."

And Jens replied with "We can kill bio_set_completion_cpu(). I'm fine
with leaving cpu control to the request based drivers, they are the
only ones that can toggle the setting anyway".

So this patch tries to remove all the work of controling complete cpu
from a bio.

Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at
metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not.

Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from
bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the
fs_bio_set.

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.

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.

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.

55782138e4 tracing/events: convert block trace points to TRACE_EVENT()
TRACE_EVENT is a more generic way to define tracepoints. Doing so adds
these new capabilities to this tracepoint:

  - zero-copy and per-cpu splice() tracing
  - binary tracing without printf overhead
  - structured logging records exposed under /debug/tracing/events
  - trace events embedded in function tracer output and other plugins
  - user-defined, per tracepoint filter expressions
  ...

Cons:

  - no dev_t info for the output of plug, unplug_timer and unplug_io events.
    no dev_t info for getrq and sleeprq events if bio == NULL.
    no dev_t info for rq_abort,...,rq_requeue events if rq->rq_disk == NULL.

    This is mainly because we can't get the deivce from a request queue.
    But this may change in the future.

  - A packet command is converted to a string in TP_assign, not TP_print.
    While blktrace do the convertion just before output.

    Since pc requests should be rather rare, this is not a big issue.

  - In blktrace, an event can have 2 different print formats, but a TRACE_EVENT
    has a unique format, which means we have some unused data in a trace entry.

    The overhead is minimized by using __dynamic_array() instead of __array().

I've benchmarked the ioctl blktrace vs the splice based TRACE_EVENT tracing:

      dd                   dd + ioctl blktrace       dd + TRACE_EVENT (splice)
1     7.36s, 42.7 MB/s     7.50s, 42.0 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s
2     7.43s, 42.3 MB/s     7.48s, 42.1 MB/s          7.43s, 42.4 MB/s
3     7.38s, 42.6 MB/s     7.45s, 42.2 MB/s          7.41s, 42.5 MB/s

So the overhead of tracing is very small, and no regression when using
those trace events vs blktrace.

And the binary output of TRACE_EVENT is much smaller than blktrace:

 # ls -l -h
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8.8M 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.0
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 195K 06-09 13:24 sda.blktrace.1

4fc981ef9e bio: always copy back data for copied kernel requests
When a read bio_copy_kern() request fails, the content of the bounce
buffer is not copied back.  However, as request failure doesn't
necessarily mean complete failure, the buffer state can be useful.
This behavior is also inconsistent with the user map counterpart and
causes the subtle difference between bounced and unbounced IO causes
confusion.

This patch makes bio_copy_kern_endio() ignore @err and always copy
back data on request completion.

Impact: remove possible deadlock condition

There is no reason to use mempool backed allocation for map functions.
Also, because kern mapping is used inside LLDs (e.g. for EH), using
mempool backed allocation can lead to deadlock under extreme
conditions (mempool already consumed by the time a request reached EH
and requests are blocked on EH).

Switch copy/map functions to bio_kmalloc().

451a9ebf65 bio: fix bio_kmalloc()
Impact: fix bio_kmalloc() and its destruction path

bio_kmalloc() was broken in two ways.

* bvec_alloc_bs() first allocates bvec using kmalloc() and then
  ignores it and allocates again like non-kmalloc bvecs.

* bio_kmalloc_destructor() didn't check for and free bio integrity
  data.

This patch fixes the above problems.  kmalloc patch is separated out
from bio_alloc_bioset() and allocates the requested number of bvecs as
inline bvecs.

* bio_alloc_bioset() no longer takes NULL @bs.  None other than
  bio_kmalloc() used it and outside users can't know how it was
  allocated anyway.

* Define and use BIO_POOL_NONE so that pool index check in
  bvec_free_bs() triggers if inline or kmalloc allocated bvec gets
  there.

* Relocate destructors on top of each allocation function so that how
  they're used is more clear.

Jens Axboe suggested allocating bvecs inline.

blk_rq_map_user take a NULL user-space buffer) extended
blk_rq_map_user to accept a NULL user-space buffer with a READ
command. It was necessary to convert sg to use the block layer mapping
API.

This patch extends blk_rq_map_user again for a WRITE command. It is
necessary to convert st and osst drivers to use the block layer
apping API.

This fixes bio_copy_user_iov to properly handle the partial mappings

392ddc3298 bio: add support for inlining a number of bio_vecs inside the bio
When we go and allocate a bio for IO, we actually do two allocations.
One for the bio itself, and one for the bi_io_vec that holds the
actual pages we are interested in.

This feature inlines a definable amount of io vecs inside the bio
itself, so we eliminate the bio_vec array allocation for IO's up
to a certain size. It defaults to 4 vecs, which is typically 16k
of IO.

bb799ca020 bio: allow individual slabs in the bio_set
Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one
in each bio_set that is created. This allows for personalized slabs
in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes.

This means we can personalize the bios we return. File systems may
want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation
more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio.
Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end
of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now
possible.

c7c22e4d5c block: add support for IO CPU affinity
This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of
either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export
a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions
of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper
(bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask
for completion on that specific CPU.

In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much
as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired.

This requires a little help from the architecture, so it'll only
work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp
helper infrastructure.

cc371e66e3 Add bvec_merge_data to handle stacked devices and ->merge_bvec()
When devices are stacked, one device's merge_bvec_fn may need to perform
the mapping and then call one or more functions for its underlying devices.

The following bio fields are used:
  bio->bi_sector
  bio->bi_bdev
  bio->bi_size
  bio->bi_rw  using bio_data_dir()

This patch creates a new struct bvec_merge_data holding a copy of those
fields to avoid having to change them directly in the struct bio when
going down the stack only to have to change them back again on the way
back up.  (And then when the bio gets mapped for real, the whole
exercise gets repeated, but that's a problem for another day...)

So move the decrement and related code into ll_rw_blk and merge it

As some ->bi_end_io methods do check bi_size of 0, we set it thus for
