plat-omap/mailbox, floppy, viocd, mspro_block, i2o_block and mmc/card/queue are already pretty close to dequeueing model and can be converted with simple changes. Convert them. While at it, * xen-blkfront: !fs check moved downwards to share dequeue call with normal path. * mspro_block: __blk_end_request(..., blk_rq_cur_byte()) converted to __blk_end_request_cur() * mmc/card/queue: loop of __blk_end_request() converted to __blk_end_request_all() [ Impact: dequeue in-flight request ] Signed-off-by:

Other than in issue error paths, ps3disk always completely finishes fetched requests. With full completion on error paths, it can be easily converted to dequeueing model. * After L1 r/w call failure, ps3disk_submit_request_sg() now fails the whole request. Issue failure isn't likely to benefit from partial retry anyway and ps3disk uses full failure in completion error path too, so I don't think this amounts to any meaningful functionality loss. * flush completion is converted to _all for consistency. It doesn't make any functional difference. [ Impact: dequeue in-flight request ] Signed-off-by:

pd/pf/pcd have track in-flight request by pd/pf/pcd_req. They can be converted to dequeueing model by updating fetching and completion paths. Convert them. Note that removal of elv_next_request() call from pf_next_buf() doesn't make any functional difference. The path is traveled only during partial completion of a request and elv_next_request() call must return the same request anyway. [ Impact: dequeue in-flight request ] Signed-off-by:

xsysace already tracks in-flight request using ace->req. Converting to dequeueing model is mostly a matter of adding dequeueing call after request fetching. The only tricky part is handling CF removal which should complete both in flight and on queue requests. Convert to dequeueing model. While at it, remove explicit blk_rq_cur_bytes() and use __blk_end_request_cur() instead. [ Impact: dequeue in-flight request ] Signed-off-by:

ide generally has single request in flight and tracks it using hwif->rq and all state handlers follow the following convention. * ide_started is returned if the request is in flight. * ide_stopped is returned if the queue needs to be restarted. The request might or might not have been processed fully or partially. * hwif->rq is set to NULL, when an issued request completes. So, dequeueing model can be implemented by dequeueing after fetch, requeueing if hwif->rq isn't NULL on ide_stopped return and doing about the same thing on completion / port unlock paths. These changes can be made in ide-io proper. In addition to the above main changes, the following updates are necessary. * ide-cd shouldn't dequeue a request when issuing REQUEST SENSE for it as the request is already dequeued. * ide-atapi uses request queue as stack when issuing REQUEST SENSE to put the REQUEST SENSE in front of the failed request. This now needs to be done using requeueing. [ Impact: dequeue in-flight request ] Signed-off-by:

Block low level drivers for some reason have been pretty good at abusing block layer API. Especially struct request's fields tend to get violated in all possible ways. Make it clear that low level drivers MUST NOT access or manipulate rq->sector and rq->data_len directly by prefixing them with double underscores. This change is also necessary to break build of out-of-tree codes which assume the previous block API where internal fields can be manipulated and rq->data_len carries residual count on completion.

struct request has had a few different ways to represent some properties of a request. ->hard_* represent block layer's view of the request progress (completion cursor) and the ones without the prefix are supposed to represent the issue cursor and allowed to be updated as necessary by the low level drivers. The thing is that as block layer supports partial completion, the two cursors really aren't necessary and only cause confusion. In addition, manual management of request detail from low level drivers is cumbersome and error-prone at the very least. Another interesting duplicate fields are rq->[hard_]nr_sectors and rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors against rq->data_len and rq->bio->bi_size. This is more convoluted than the hard_ case. rq->[hard_]nr_sectors are initialized for requests with bio but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for !pc requests. rq->data_len is initialized for all request but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for pc requests. This causes good amount of confusion throughout block layer and its drivers and determining the request length has been a bit of black magic which may or may not work depending on circumstances and what the specific LLD is actually doing. rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors represent the number of sectors in the contiguous data area at the front. This is mainly used by drivers which transfers data by walking request segment-by-segment. This value always equals rq->bio->bi_size >> 9. However, data length for pc requests may not be multiple of 512 bytes and using this field becomes a bit confusing. In general, having multiple fields to represent the same property leads only to confusion and subtle bugs. With recent block low level driver cleanups, no driver is accessing or manipulating these duplicate fields directly. Drop all the duplicates. Now rq->sector means the current sector, rq->data_len the current total length and rq->bio->bi_size the current segment length. Everything else is defined in terms of these three and available only through accessors. * blk_recalc_rq_sectors() is collapsed into blk_update_request() and now handles pc and fs requests equally other than rq->sector update. This means that now pc requests can use partial completion too (no in-kernel user yet tho). * bio_cur_sectors() is replaced with bio_cur_bytes() as block layer now uses byte count as the primary data length. * blk_rq_pos() is now guranteed to be always correct. In-block users converted. * blk_rq_bytes() is now guaranteed to be always valid as is blk_rq_sectors(). In-block users converted. * blk_rq_sectors() is now guaranteed to equal blk_rq_bytes() >> 9. More convenient one is used. * blk_rq_bytes() and blk_rq_cur_bytes() are now inlined and take const pointer to request.

rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue and the residual count on completion. This duality creates some headaches. First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing. It could be the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the lower layers is using to keep track of residual count. This complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus [__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands. Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the request with the cached data length. Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count, ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred. The residual count is an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it alone means no data transfer occurred at all. This reverse default behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable. This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count. While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.
