block: Add badblock management for gendisks

2016-01-09T16:36:51Z

NVDIMM devices, which can behave more like DRAM rather than block devices, may develop bad cache lines, or 'poison'. A block device exposed by the pmem driver can then consume poison via a read (or write), and cause a machine check. On platforms without machine check recovery features, this would mean a crash. The block device maintaining a runtime list of all known sectors that have poison can directly avoid this, and also provide a path forward to enable proper handling/recovery for DAX faults on such a device. Use the new badblock management interfaces to add a badblocks list to gendisks. Signed-off-by: Vishal Verma Signed-off-by: Dan Williams

block: Inline blk_integrity in struct gendisk

2015-10-21T20:42:42Z

Up until now the_integrity profile has been dynamically allocated and attached to struct gendisk after the disk has been made active. This causes problems because NVMe devices need to register the profile prior to the partition table being read due to a mandatory metadata buffer requirement. In addition, DM goes through hoops to deal with preallocating, but not initializing integrity profiles. Since the integrity profile is small (4 bytes + a pointer), Christoph suggested moving it to struct gendisk proper. This requires several changes: - Moving the blk_integrity definition to genhd.h. - Inlining blk_integrity in struct gendisk. - Removing the dynamic allocation code. - Adding helper functions which allow gendisk to set up and tear down the integrity sysfs dir when a disk is added/deleted. - Adding a blk_integrity_revalidate() callback for updating the stable pages bdi setting. - The calls that depend on whether a device has an integrity profile or not now key off of the bi->profile pointer. - Simplifying the integrity support routines in DM (Mike Snitzer).

block: Move integrity kobject to struct gendisk

2015-10-21T20:42:36Z

The integrity kobject purely exists to support the integrity subdirectory in sysfs and doesn't really have anything to do with the blk_integrity data structure. Move the kobject to struct gendisk where it belongs. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen Reported-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Sagi Grimberg Signed-off-by: Dan Williams Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Percpu refcount is the perfect match for partition's case, and the conversion is quite straight. With the convertion, one pair of atomic inc/dec can be saved for accounting block I/O, which is run in hot path of block I/O. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei Acked-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: store partition_meta_info.uuid as a string

2012-11-23T13:28:53Z

This will allow other types of UUID to be stored here, aside from true UUIDs. This also simplifies code that uses this field, since it's usually constructed from a, used as a, or compared to other, strings. Note: A simplistic approach here would be to set uuid_str[36]=0 whenever a /PARTNROFF option was found to be present. However, this modifies the input string, and causes subsequent calls to devt_from_partuuid() not to see the /PARTNROFF option, which causes different results. In order to avoid misleading future maintainers, this parameter is marked const.
