Now we depend on blk_queue_split() to respect most of queue limit
(the only one exception could be dma alignment), however
blk_queue_split() isn't used for brd, so this limit isn't respected
since v4.3.
Also max_hw_sectors limit doesn't play a big role for brd, which is
added since brd is added to tree for unknown reason.
So remove it.

c11f0c0b5b ("block/mm: make bdev_ops->rw_page() take a bool for
read/write") replaced @op with boolean @is_write, which limited the
amount of information going into ->rw_page() and more importantly
page_endio(), which removed the need to expose block internals to mm.
Unfortunately, we want to track discards separately and @is_write
isn't enough information. This patch updates bdev_ops->rw_page() to
take REQ_OP instead but leaves page_endio() to take bool @is_write.
This allows the block part of operations to have enough information
while not leaking it to mm.

It happens often while I'm preparing a patch for a block driver that
I'm wondering: is a definition of SECTOR_SIZE and/or SECTOR_SHIFT
available for this driver? Do I have to introduce definitions of these
constants before I can use these constants? To avoid this confusion,
move the existing definitions of SECTOR_SIZE and SECTOR_SHIFT into the
<linux/blkdev.h> header file such that these become available for all
block drivers. Make the SECTOR_SIZE definition in the uapi msdos_fs.h
header file conditional to avoid that including that header file after
<linux/blkdev.h> causes the compiler to complain about a SECTOR_SIZE
redefinition.
Note: the SECTOR_SIZE / SECTOR_SHIFT / SECTOR_BITS definitions have
not been removed from uapi header files nor from NAND drivers in
which these constants are used for another purpose than converting
block layer offsets and sizes into a number of sectors.

DAX support in brd is awkward because its backing page frames are
distinct from the ones provided by pmem, dcssblk, or axonram. We need
pfn_t_devmap() entries to fully support DAX, and the limited DAX support
for pfn_t_special() page frames is not interesting for brd when pmem is
already a superset of brd. Lastly, brd is the only dax capable driver
that may sleep in its ->direct_access() implementation. So it causes a
global burden with no net gain of kernel functionality.
For all these reasons, remove DAX support.

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.

all persistent memory specific dax functionality to be pushed into
libnvdimm and the pmem driver directly. It also allows dax-specific
sysfs attributes to be linked to a host device, for example:
/sys/block/pmem0/dax/write_cache
- Add support for the new NVDIMM platform/firmware mechanisms
introduced in ACPI 6.2 and UEFI 2.7. This support includes the v1.2
namespace label format, extensions to the address-range-scrub
command set, new error injection commands, and a new BTT
(block-translation-table) layout. These updates support inter-OS
and pre-OS compatibility.
- Fix a longstanding memory corruption bug in nfit_test.
- Make the pmem and nvdimm-region 'badblocks' sysfs files poll(2)
capable.
- Miscellaneous fixes and small updates across libnvdimm and the nfit
driver.

* Region media error reporting: A libnvdimm region device is the parent
to one or more namespaces. To date, media errors have been reported via
the "badblocks" attribute attached to pmem block devices for namespaces
in "raw" or "memory" mode. Given that namespaces can be in "device-dax"
or "btt-sector" mode this new interface reports media errors
generically, i.e. independent of namespace modes or state. This
subsequently allows userspace tooling to craft "ACPI 6.1 Section
9.20.7.6 Function Index 4 - Clear Uncorrectable Error" requests and
submit them via the ioctl path for NVDIMM root bus devices.
* Introduce 'struct dax_device' and 'struct dax_operations': Prompted by

the broken assumption that all dax operations are related to a
persistent memory device, and makes it easier for other architectures
and platforms to add customized persistent memory support.

is locked. Finally, fixes for various reported deadlocks and crashes,

1/ Replace pcommit with ADR / directed-flushing:
The pcommit instruction, which has not shipped on any product, is
deprecated. Instead, the requirement is that platforms implement either
ADR, or provide one or more flush addresses per nvdimm. ADR
(Asynchronous DRAM Refresh) flushes data in posted write buffers to the
memory controller on a power-fail event. Flush addresses are defined in
ACPI 6.x as an NVDIMM Firmware Interface Table (NFIT) sub-structure:
"Flush Hint Address Structure". A flush hint is an mmio address that
when written and fenced assures that all previous posted writes
targeting a given dimm have been flushed to media.
2/ On-demand ARS (address range scrub):
Linux uses the results of the ACPI ARS commands to track bad blocks
in pmem devices. When latent errors are detected we re-scrub the media
to refresh the bad block list, userspace can also request a re-scrub at
any time.

Currently, presence of direct_access() in block_device_operations
indicates support of DAX on its block device. Because
block_device_operations is instantiated with 'const', this DAX
capablity may not be enabled conditinally.
In preparation for supporting DAX to device-mapper devices, add
QUEUE_FLAG_DAX to request_queue flags to advertise their DAX
support. This will allow to set the DAX capability based on how
mapped device is composed.

values makes more sense. Any check for READA is replaced with an

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

For the purpose of communicating the optional presence of a 'struct
page' for the pfn returned from ->direct_access(), introduce a type that
encapsulates a page-frame-number plus flags. These flags contain the
historical "page_link" encoding for a scatterlist entry, but can also
denote "device memory". Where "device memory" is a set of pfns that are
not part of the kernel's linear mapping by default, but are accessed via
the same memory controller as ram.
The motivation for this new type is large capacity persistent memory
that needs struct page entries in the 'memmap' to support 3rd party DMA
(i.e. O_DIRECT I/O with a persistent memory source/target). However,
we also need it in support of maintaining a list of mapped inodes which
need to be unmapped at driver teardown or freeze_bdev() time.

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.

Because of the direct_access() API which returns a PFN. partitions
better start on 4K boundary, else offset ZERO of a partition will
not be aligned and blk_direct_access() will fail the call.
By setting blk_queue_physical_block_size(PAGE_SIZE) we can communicate
this to fdisk and friends.
The call to blk_queue_physical_block_size() is harmless and will
not affect the Kernel behavior in any way. It is only for
communication to user-mode.
before this patch running fdisk on a default size brd of 4M
the first sector offered is 34 (BAD), but after this patch it
will be 40, ie 8 sectors aligned. Also when entering some random
partition sizes the next partition-start sector is offered 8 sectors
aligned after this patch. (Please note that with fdisk the user
can still enter bad values, only the offered default values will
be correct)
Note that with bdev-size > 4M fdisk will try to align on a 1M
boundary (above first-sector will be 2048), in any case.

This patch fixes up brd's partitions scheme, now enjoying all worlds.
The MAIN fix here is that currently, if one fdisks some partitions,
a BAD bug will make all partitions point to the same start-end sector
ie: 0 - brd_size And an mkfs of any partition would trash the partition
table and the other partition.
Another fix is that "mount -U uuid" will not work if show_part was not
specified, because of the GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO flag.
We now always load without it and remove the show_part parameter.
[We remove Dmitry's new module-param part_show it is now always
show]
So NOW the logic goes like this:
* max_part - Just says how many minors to reserve between ramX
devices. In any way, there can be as many partition as requested.
If minors between devices ends, then dynamic 259-major ids will
be allocated on the fly.
The default is now max_part=1, which means all partitions devt(s)
will be from the dynamic (259) major-range.
(If persistent partition minors is needed use max_part=X)
For example with /dev/sdX max_part is hard coded 16.
* Creation of new devices on the fly still/always work:
mknod /path/devnod b 1 X
fdisk -l /path/devnod
Will create a new device if [X / max_part] was not already
created before. (Just as before)
partitions on the dynamically created device will work as well
Same logic applies with minors as with the pre-created ones.
TODO: dynamic grow of device size. So each device can have it's
own size.

Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA
requests. Deprecate barrier. All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().
blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.
All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.
* ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.
Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.
New methods:
open(bdev, mode)
release(disk, mode)
ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */
compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */

In 2.6.25, ramdisk devices show up in /proc/partitions, which is a
behaviour change from the old rd.c. Add GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO,
which was present in rd.c.
All kernels prior to 2.6.25 weren't displaying ramdisks in
/proc/partitions. Since there are many userspace tools using information
from /proc/partitions some of them may now behave incorrectly (I didn't
tested any though). For example before 2.6.25 /proc/partitions was empty
if no block devices like hard disks and such were detected by kernel. Now
all 16 ramdisks are always visible there. Some software may rely on such
information (I mean, on empty /proc/partitions).
There was quite similar situation back in 2004, and ramdisks were excluded
back from displaying. Thats why I called this a regression (maybe a bit
unfortunate). See this patch for info:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.3-rc2/2.6.3-rc2-mm1/broken-out/nbd-proc-partitions-fix.patch
I also think that someone somewhere (long time ago) excluded ramdisks from
/proc/partitions for good reasons. It is possible that now such new
"feature" is harmless, but I think there are more chances that someone
will say "hey, /proc/partitions has changed, now my software doesn't work"
then "hey where did my new 2.6.25 feature go". nbd devices are also
excluded, maybe for very same (unknown to me) reasons.

Alter the block device ->direct_access() API to work with the new
get_xip_mem() API (that requires both kaddr and pfn are returned).
Some architectures will not do the right thing in their virt_to_page() for use
by XIP (to translate from the kernel virtual address returned by
direct_access(), to a user mappable pfn in XIP's page fault handler.
However, we can't switch it to just return the pfn and not the kaddr, because
we have no good way to get a kva from a pfn, and XIP requires the kva for its
read(2) and write(2) handlers. So we have to return both.

This is a rewrite of the ramdisk block device driver.
The old one is really difficult because it effectively implements a block
device which serves data out of its own buffer cache. It relies on the dirty
bit being set, to pin its backing store in cache, however there are non
trivial paths which can clear the dirty bit (eg. try_to_free_buffers()),
which had recently lead to data corruption. And in general it is completely
wrong for a block device driver to do this.
The new one is more like a regular block device driver. It has no idea about
vm/vfs stuff. It's backing store is similar to the buffer cache (a simple
radix-tree of pages), but it doesn't know anything about page cache (the pages
in the radix tree are not pagecache pages).
There is one slight downside -- direct block device access and filesystem
metadata access goes through an extra copy and gets stored in RAM twice.
However, this downside is only slight, because the real buffercache of the
device is now reclaimable (because we're not playing crazy games with it), so
under memory intensive situations, footprint should effectively be the same --
maybe even a slight advantage to the new driver because it can also reclaim
buffer heads.
The fact that it now goes through all the regular vm/fs paths makes it
much more useful for testing, too.

3528 371 12 3911 f47 drivers/block/brd.o
Text is larger, but data and bss are smaller, making total size smaller.
A few other nice things about it:
- Similar structure and layout to the new loop device handlinag.
- Dynamic ramdisk creation.
- Runtime flexible buffer head size (because it is no longer part of the
ramdisk code).
- Boot / load time flexible ramdisk size, which could easily be extended
to a per-ramdisk runtime changeable size (eg. with an ioctl).
- Can use highmem for the backing store.
