bios that are re-submitted will pass through blk_queue_split() when blk_queue_bio() is called, and this will split the bio if necessary. There is no longer any need to do this splitting in xen-blkfront. Acked-by:

pblk_submit_read() uses bio_clone_bioset() but doesn't change the io_vec, so bio_clone_fast() is a better choice. It also uses fs_bio_set which is intended for filesystems. Using it in a device driver can deadlock. So allocate a new bioset, and and use bio_clone_fast(). Reviewed-by:

pktcdvd doesn't change the bi_io_vec of the clone bio, so it is more efficient to use bio_clone_fast(), and not clone the bi_io_vec. This requires providing a bio_set, and it is safest to provide a dedicated bio_set rather than sharing fs_bio_set, which filesytems use. This new bio_set, pkt_bio_set, can also be use for the bio_split() call as the two allocations (bio_clone_fast, and bio_split) are independent, neither can block a bio allocated by the other.

drbd does not modify the bi_io_vec of the cloned bio, so there is no need to clone that part. So bio_clone_fast() is the better choice. For bio_clone_fast() we need to specify a bio_set. We could use fs_bio_set, which bio_clone() uses, or drbd_md_io_bio_set, which drbd uses for metadata, but it is generally best to avoid sharing bio_sets unless you can be certain that there are no interdependencies. So create a new bio_set, drbd_io_bio_set, and use bio_clone_fast(). Also remove a "XXX cannot fail ???" comment because it definitely cannot fail - bio_clone_fast() doesn't fail if the GFP flags allow for sleeping. Reviewed-by:

bio_clone() makes a copy of the bi_io_vec, but rbd never changes that, so there is no need for a copy. bio_clone_fast() can be used instead, which avoids making the copy. This requires that we provide a bio_set. bio_clone() uses fs_bio_set, but it isn't, in general, safe to use the same bio_set at different levels of the stack, as that can lead to deadlocks. As filesystems use fs_bio_set, block devices shouldn't. As rbd never stacks, it is safe to have a single global bio_set for all rbd devices to use. So allocate that when the module is initialised, and use it with bio_clone_fast(). Reviewed-by:

Since commit 23688bf4 ("block: ensure to split after potentially bouncing a bio") blk_queue_bounce() is called *before* blk_queue_split(). This means that: 1/ the comments blk_queue_split() about bounce buffers are irrelevant, and 2/ a very large bio (more than BIO_MAX_PAGES) will no longer be split before it arrives at blk_queue_bounce(), leading to the possibility that bio_clone_bioset() will fail and a NULL will be dereferenced. Separately, blk_queue_bounce() shouldn't use fs_bio_set as the bio being copied could be from the same set, and this could lead to a deadlock. So: - allocate 2 private biosets for blk_queue_bounce, one for splitting enormous bios and one for cloning bios. - add code to split a bio that exceeds BIO_MAX_PAGES. - Fix up the comments in blk_queue_split() Credit-to: Ming Lei <tom.leiming@gmail.com> (suggested using single bio_for_each_segment loop) Reviewed-by:

A rescuing bioset is only useful if there might be bios from that same bioset on the bio_list_on_stack queue at a time when bio_alloc_bioset() is called. This never applies to q->bio_split. Allocations from q->bio_split are only ever made from blk_queue_split() which is only ever called early in each of various make_request_fn()s. The original bio (call this A) is then passed to generic_make_request() and is placed on the bio_list_on_stack queue, and the bio that was allocated from q->bio_split (B) is processed. The processing of this may cause other bios to be passed to generic_make_request() or may even cause the bio B itself to be passed, possible after some prefix has been split off (using some other bioset). generic_make_request() now guarantees that all of these bios (B and dependants) will be fully processed before the tail of the original bio A gets handled. None of these early bios can possible trigger an allocation from the original q->bio_split as they are either too small to require splitting or (more likely) are destined for a different queue. The next time that the original q->bio_split might be used by this thread is when A is processed again, as it might still be too big to handle directly. By this time there cannot be any other bios allocated from q->bio_split in the generic_make_request() queue. So no rescuing will ever be needed. Reviewed-by:

This patch converts bioset_create() to not create a workqueue by default, so alloctions will never trigger punt_bios_to_rescuer(). It also introduces a new flag BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER which tells bioset_create() to preserve the old behavior. All callers of bioset_create() that are inside block device drivers, are given the BIOSET_NEED_RESCUER flag. biosets used by filesystems or other top-level users do not need rescuing as the bio can never be queued behind other bios. This includes fs_bio_set, blkdev_dio_pool, btrfs_bioset, xfs_ioend_bioset, and one allocated by target_core_iblock.c. biosets used by md/raid do not need rescuing as their usage was recently audited and revised to never risk deadlock. It is hoped that most, if not all, of the remaining biosets can end up being the non-rescued version. Reviewed-by:

"flags" arguments are often seen as good API design as they allow easy extensibility. bioset_create_nobvec() is implemented internally as a variation in flags passed to __bioset_create(). To support future extension, make the internal structure part of the API. i.e. add a 'flags' argument to bioset_create() and discard bioset_create_nobvec(). Note that the bio_split allocations in drivers/md/raid* do not need the bvec mempool - they should have used bioset_create_nobvec(). Suggested-by:

blk_queue_split() is always called with the last arg being q->bio_split, where 'q' is the first arg. Also blk_queue_split() sometimes uses the passed-in 'bs' and sometimes uses q->bio_split. This is inconsistent and unnecessary. Remove the last arg and always use q->bio_split inside blk_queue_split() Reviewed-by:

This patch makes sure we always allocate requests in the core blk-mq code and use a common prepare_request method to initialize them for both mq I/O schedulers. For Kyber and additional limit_depth method is added that is called before allocating the request. Also because none of the intializations can really fail the new method does not return an error - instead the bfq finish method is hardened to deal with the no-IOC case. Last but not least this removes the abuse of RQF_QUEUE by the blk-mq scheduling code as RQF_ELFPRIV is all that is needed now. Signed-off-by:

When a filesystem is mounted from a loop device, writes are throttled by balance_dirty_pages() twice: once when writing to the filesystem and once when the loop_handle_cmd() writes to the backing file. This double-throttling can trigger positive feedback loops that create significant delays. The throttling at the lower level is seen by the upper level as a slow device, so it throttles extra hard. The PF_LESS_THROTTLE flag was created to handle exactly this circumstance, though with an NFS filesystem mounted from a local NFS server. It reduces the throttling on the lower layer so that it can proceed largely unthrottled. To demonstrate this, create a filesystem on a loop device and write (e.g. with dd) several large files which combine to consume significantly more than the limit set by /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio or dirty_bytes. Measure the total time taken. When I do this directly on a device (no loop device) the total time for several runs (mkfs, mount, write 200 files, umount) is fairly stable: 28-35 seconds. When I do this over a loop device the times are much worse and less stable. 52-460 seconds. Half below 100seconds, half above. When I apply this patch, the times become stable again, though not as fast as the no-loop-back case: 53-72 seconds. There may be room for further improvement as the total overhead still seems too high, but this is a big improvement. Reviewed-by:

Pull NVMe changes for 4.13 from Christoph: Highlights: - UUID identifier support from Johannes - Lots of cleanups from Sagi - Host Memory Buffer support from me And lots of cleanups and smaller fixes of course. Note that the UUID identifier changes are based on top of the uuid tree. I am the maintainer of that tree and will send it to Linus as soon as 4.12 is released as various other trees depend on it as well (and the diffstat includes those changes unfortunately)

This moves the nvme_reset function from the PCIe driver to common code, renaming it to nvme_reset_ctrl in the process. Additionally a new helper nvme_reset_ctrl_sync is added for the case where we want to wait for the reset. To facilitate that the reset_work work structure is move to the common nvme_ctrl structure and the ->reset_ctrl method is removed. For now the drivers initialize the reset_work with their own callback, but longer term we should move to callouts for specific parts of the reset process and move even more code to the core.
