swim curiously tries to update request parameters before calling __blk_end_request() when __blk_end_request() will do it anyway and unnecessarily checks whether current_nr_sectors is zero right after fetching.

swim3 curiously tries to update request parameters before calling __blk_end_request() when __blk_end_request() will do it anyway, and it updates request for partial completion manually instead of using blk_update_request(). Also, it does some spurious checks on rq such as testing whether rq->sector is negative or current_nr_sectors is zero right after fetching. Drop unnecessary stuff and use standard block layer mechanisms. [ Impact: cleanup ] Signed-off-by:

hd read/write_intr() functions manually manipulate request to incrementally complete it, which block layer already supports. Simply use block layer completion routines instead of manual partial completion. While at it, clear unnecessary elv_next_request() check at the tail of read_intr(). This also makes read and write_intr() more consistent. [ Impact: cleanup ] Signed-off-by:

rq_data_dir() can only be READ or WRITE and rq->sector and nr_sectors are always automatically updated after partial request completion. Don't worry about rq_data_dir() not being either READ or WRITE or manually update sector and nr_sectors. [ Impact: cleanup ] Signed-off-by:

We currently don't do merging on discard requests, but we potentially could. If we do, then we need to include discard requests in the IO accounting, or merging would end up decrementing in_flight IO counters for an IO which never incremented them. So enable accounting for discard requests. Problem found by Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@suse.de> Signed-off-by: -

omap mailbox uses rq->data as the second opaque pointer to carry mbox_msg_t and rq->special message argument which is needed only for tx. Add and use omap_msg_tx_data struct for tx and use rq->special for mbox_msg_t for rx such that only rq->special is used as opaque pointer.

end_request() has been kept around for backward compatibility; however, it's about time for it to go away. * There aren't too many users left. * Its use of @updtodate is pretty confusing. * In some cases, newer code ends up using mixture of end_request() and [__]blk_end_request[_all](), which is way too confusing. So, add [__]blk_end_request_cur() and replace end_request() with it. Most conversions are straightforward. Noteworthy ones are... * paride/pcd: next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0. * paride/pf: pf_end_request() and next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0. * xd: xd_readwrite() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0. * mtd/mtd_blkdevs: blktrans_discard_request() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0. Unnecessary local variable res initialization removed from mtd_blktrans_thread(). [ Impact: cleanup ] Signed-off-by:

There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with full request length and expect full completion. Many of them ensure that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return value, which is awkward and error-prone. This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error and fully completes the request. BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that this actually happens. Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones. * cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to __blk_end_request_all(). * s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to __blk_end_request_all(). * s390/char/tape_block: tapeblock_end_request() replaced with direct calls to blk_end_request_all().

rq->start_time was initialized in init_request_from_bio() so special requests didn't have start_time set. This has been okay as start_time has been used only for fs requests; however, there is no indication of this actually is the case or not. Set rq->start_time in blk_rq_init() and guarantee that all initialized rq's have its start_time set. This improves consistency at virtually no cost and future changes will make use of the timestamp for !bio requests. [ Impact: rq->start_time is valid for all requests ] Signed-off-by: -

Request completion has gone through several changes and became a bit messy over the time. Clean it up. 1. end_that_request_data() is a thin wrapper around end_that_request_data_first() which checks whether bio is NULL before doing anything and handles bidi completion. blk_update_request() is a thin wrapper around end_that_request_data() which clears nr_sectors on the last iteration but doesn't use the bidi completion. Clean it up by moving the initial bio NULL check and nr_sectors clearing on the last iteration into end_that_request_data() and renaming it to blk_update_request(), which makes blk_end_io() the only user of end_that_request_data(). Collapse end_that_request_data() into blk_end_io(). 2. There are four visible completion variants - blk_end_request(), __blk_end_request(), blk_end_bidi_request() and end_request(). blk_end_request() and blk_end_bidi_request() uses blk_end_request() as the backend but __blk_end_request() and end_request() use separate implementation in __blk_end_request() due to different locking rules. blk_end_bidi_request() is identical to blk_end_io(). Collapse blk_end_io() into blk_end_bidi_request(), separate out request update into internal helper blk_update_bidi_request() and add __blk_end_bidi_request(). Redefine [__]blk_end_request() as thin inline wrappers around [__]blk_end_bidi_request(). 3. As the whole request issue/completion usages are about to be modified and audited, it's a good chance to convert completion functions return bool which better indicates the intended meaning of return values. 4. The function name end_that_request_last() is from the days when it was a public interface and slighly confusing. Give it a proper internal name - blk_finish_request(). 5. Add description explaning that blk_end_bidi_request() can be safely used for uni requests as suggested by Boaz Harrosh. The only visible behavior change is from #1. nr_sectors counts are cleared after the final iteration no matter which function is used to complete the request. I couldn't find any place where the code assumes those nr_sectors counters contain the values for the last segment and this change is good as it makes the API much more consistent as the end result is now same whether a request is completed using [__]blk_end_request() alone or in combination with blk_update_request(). API further cleaned up per Christoph's suggestion. [ Impact: cleanup, rq->*nr_sectors always updated after req completion ] Signed-off-by:

Impact: code reorganization elv_next_request() and elv_dequeue_request() are public block layer interface than actual elevator implementation. They mostly deal with how requests interact with block layer and low level drivers at the beginning of rqeuest processing whereas __elv_next_request() is the actual eleveator request fetching interface. Move the two functions to blk-core.c. This prepares for further interface cleanup. Signed-off-by: -

Reorder request completion functions such that * All request completion functions are located together. * Functions which are used by only one caller is put right above the caller. * end_request() is put after other completion functions but before blk_update_request().

blk_start_queueing() is identical to __blk_run_queue() except that it doesn't check for recursion. None of the current users depends on blk_start_queueing() running request_fn directly.

__blk_run_queue wraps blk_invoke_request_fn() such that it additionally removes plug and bails out early if the queue is empty. Both extra operations have their own pending mechanisms and don't cause any harm correctness-wise when they are done superflously. The only user of blk_invoke_request_fn() being blk_start_queue(), there isn't much reason to keep both functions around. Merge blk_invoke_request_fn() into __blk_run_queue() and make blk_start_queue() use __blk_run_queue() instead. [ Impact: merge two subtly different internal functions ] Signed-off-by: -

Enable by default support for large devices and files (CONFIG_LBD): - With 1TB disks being a commodity hardware it is quite easy to hit 2TB limitation while building RAIDs etc. and many distros have been using CONFIG_LBD=y by default already (at least Fedora 10 and openSUSE 11.1). - This should also prevent a subtle ext4 filesystem compatibility issue: mke2fs.ext4 defaults to creating filesystems with huge_files feature enabled and such filesystems cannot be later mounted read-write on machines with CONFIG_LBD=n (it should be quite easy to hit this issue when trying to use filesystem created using distro kernel on system running the self-build kernel, think about USB disk enclosures & co.). While at it: - Clarify config option help text w.r.t. mounting ext4 filesystems (they can be mounted with CONFIG_LBD=n but in the read-only mode). Cc: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Signed-off-by:
