Merge branch 'for-4.4/io-poll' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2015-11-11T01:23:49Z

Pull block IO poll support from Jens Axboe: "Various groups have been doing experimentation around IO polling for (really) fast devices. The code has been reviewed and has been sitting on the side for a few releases, but this is now good enough for coordinated benchmarking and further experimentation. Currently O_DIRECT sync read/write are supported. A framework is in the works that allows scalable stats tracking so we can auto-tune this. And we'll add libaio support as well soon. Fow now, it's an opt-in feature for test purposes" * 'for-4.4/io-poll' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: direct-io: be sure to assign dio->bio_bdev for both paths directio: add block polling support NVMe: add blk polling support block: add block polling support blk-mq: return tag/queue combo in the make_request_fn handlers block: change ->make_request_fn() and users to return a queue cookie

raid5-cache: add crc32c Kconfig dependency

2015-11-08T22:09:52Z

The recent change of the raid5-cache code to use crc32c instead of crc32 causes link errors when CONFIG_LIBCRC32C is disabled: drivers/built-in.o: In function crc32c' core.c:(.text+0x1c6060): undefined reference to `crc32c' This adds an explicit 'select' statement like all other users of this function do.

mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd

2015-11-07T01:50:42Z

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve". Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic reserves. This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic, cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use __GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake kswapd for background reclaim. This patch then converts a number of sites o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag. o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress. o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to flag manipulations. o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons. In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH. The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

bcache: Really show state of work pending bit

2015-11-06T14:06:05Z

WORK_STRUCT_PENDING is a mask for testing the pending bit. test_bit() expects the number of the bit and we need to use WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT there. Also work_data_bits() is defined in workqueues.h now. I have noticed this just by chance when looking how WORK_STRUCT_PENDING_BIT is used. The change is compile tested.

Pull md updates from Neil Brown: "Two major components to this update. 1) The clustered-raid1 support from SUSE is nearly complete. There are a few outstanding issues being worked on. Maybe half a dozen patches will bring this to a usable state. 2) The first stage of journalled-raid5 support from Facebook makes an appearance. With a journal device configured (typically NVRAM or SSD), the "RAID5 write hole" should be closed - a crash during degraded operations cannot result in data corruption. The next stage will be to use the journal as a write-behind cache so that latency can be reduced and in some cases throughput increased by performing more full-stripe writes. * tag 'md/4.4' of git://neil.brown.name/md: (66 commits) MD: when RAID journal is missing/faulty, block RESTART_ARRAY_RW MD: set journal disk ->raid_disk MD: kick out journal disk if it's not fresh raid5-cache: start raid5 readonly if journal is missing MD: add new bit to indicate raid array with journal raid5-cache: IO error handling raid5: journal disk can't be removed raid5-cache: add trim support for log MD: fix info output for journal disk raid5-cache: use bio chaining raid5-cache: small log->seq cleanup raid5-cache: new helper: r5_reserve_log_entry raid5-cache: inline r5l_alloc_io_unit into r5l_new_meta raid5-cache: take rdev->data_offset into account early on raid5-cache: refactor bio allocation raid5-cache: clean up r5l_get_meta raid5-cache: simplify state machine when caches flushes are not needed raid5-cache: factor out a helper to run all stripes for an I/O unit raid5-cache: rename flushed_ios to finished_ios raid5-cache: free I/O units earlier ...
