blk_rq_map_kern can handle the stack buffers correctly (avoid DMA from/to the stack buffers by using the bounce buffer) so we don't need to complicate the code by allocating just 8 bytes.

blk_rq_map_kern is used for kernel internal I/Os. Some callers use this function with stack buffers but DMA to/from the stack buffers leads to memory corruption on a non-coherent platform. This patch make blk_rq_map_kern uses the bounce buffers if a caller passes a stack buffer (on the all platforms for simplicity).

This adds blk_queue_update_dma_pad to prevent LLDs from overwriting the dma pad mask wrongly (we added blk_queue_update_dma_alignment due to the same reason). This also converts libata to use blk_queue_update_dma_pad instead of blk_queue_dma_pad.

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...)

blk_rq_map_user_iov can't handle the bounce buffer (it means that the bio_map_user_iov path doesn't work with a LLD that needs GFP_DMA).

Some block devices support verifying the integrity of requests by way of checksums or other protection information that is submitted along with the I/O.

Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume path by preventing the allocations from doing IO and allowing them to access the emergency pools. These paths are used when a frontend device is trying to connect to its backend driver over Xenbus. These reconnections are triggered on demand by IO, so by definition there is already IO underway, and further IO would naturally deadlock. On resume, this path is triggered when the running system tries to continue using its devices. If it cannot then the resume will fail; to try to avoid this we let it dip into the emergency pools.

If we have multiple tasks freeing io contexts when as-iosched is being unloaded, we could complete() ioc_gone twice. Fix that by protecting ioc_gone complete() and clearing with a spinlock for just that purpose. Doesn't matter from a performance perspective, since it'll only enter that path when ioc_gone != NULL (when as-iosched is being rmmod'ed). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
