Merge branch 'for-3.20/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2015-02-12T22:30:53Z

Pull block driver changes from Jens Axboe: "This contains: - The 4k/partition fixes for brd from Boaz/Matthew. - A few xen front/back block fixes from David Vrabel and Roger Pau Monne. - Floppy changes from Takashi, cleaning the device file creation. - Switching libata to use the new blk-mq tagging policy, removing code (and a suboptimal implementation) from libata. This will throw you a merge conflict, since a bug in the original libata tagging code was fixed since this code was branched. Trivial. From Shaohua. - Conversion of loop to blk-mq, from Ming Lei. - Cleanup of the io_schedule() handling in bsg from Peter Zijlstra. He claims it improves on unreadable code, which will cost him a beer. - Maintainer update or NDB, now handled by Markus Pargmann. - NVMe: - Optimization from me that avoids a kmalloc/kfree per IO for smaller (<= 8KB) IO. This cuts about 1% of high IOPS CPU overhead. - Removal of (now) dead RCU code, a relic from before NVMe was converted to blk-mq" * 'for-3.20/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: xen-blkback: default to X86_32 ABI on x86 xen-blkfront: fix accounting of reqs when migrating xen-blkback,xen-blkfront: add myself as maintainer block: Simplify bsg complete all floppy: Avoid manual call of device_create_file() NVMe: avoid kmalloc/kfree for smaller IO MAINTAINERS: Update NBD maintainer libata: make sata_sil24 use fifo tag allocator libata: move sas ata tag allocation to libata-scsi.c libata: use blk taging NVMe: within nvme_free_queues(), delete RCU sychro/deferred free null_blk: suppress invalid partition info brd: Request from fdisk 4k alignment brd: Fix all partitions BUGs axonram: Fix bug in direct_access loop: add blk-mq.h include block: loop: don't handle REQ_FUA explicitly block: loop: introduce lo_discard() and lo_req_flush() block: loop: say goodby to bio block: loop: improve performance via blk-mq

ata: ahci_platform: fix owner module reference mismatch for scsi host

2015-01-28T23:45:23Z

The owner module reference of the ahci platform's scsi_host is initialized to libahci_platform's one, because these drivers use a scsi_host_template defined in libahci_platform. So these drivers can be unloaded even if the scsi device is being accessed. This fixes it by pushing the scsi_host_template from libahci_platform to all leaf drivers. The scsi_host_template is passed through a new argument of ahci_platform_init_host(). Signed-off-by: Akinobu Mita Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Hans de Goede Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: "James E.J.

libata: use blk taging

2015-01-23T21:19:04Z

libata uses its own tag management which is duplication and the implementation is poor. And if we switch to blk-mq, tag is build-in. It's time to switch to generic taging. The SAS driver has its own tag management, and looks we can't directly map the host controler tag to SATA tag. So I just bypassed the SAS case. I changed the code/variable name for the tag management of libata to make it self contained. Only sas will use it. Later if libsas implements its tag management, the tag management code in libata can be deleted easily.

libata: allow sata_sil24 to opt-out of tag ordered submission

2015-01-19T14:10:07Z

Ronny reports: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87101 "Since commit 8a4aeec8d "libata/ahci: accommodate tag ordered controllers" the access to the harddisk on the first SATA-port is failing on its first access. The access to the harddisk on the second port is working normal. When reverting the above commit, access to both harddisks is working fine again." Maintain tag ordered submission as the default, but allow sata_sil24 to continue with the old behavior.

libata: Whitelist SSDs that are known to properly return zeroes after TRIM

2015-01-08T15:35:40Z

As defined, the DRAT (Deterministic Read After Trim) and RZAT (Return Zero After Trim) flags in the ATA Command Set are unreliable in the sense that they only define what happens if the device successfully executed the DSM TRIM command. TRIM is only advisory, however, and the device is free to silently ignore all or parts of the request. In practice this renders the DRAT and RZAT flags completely useless and because the results are unpredictable we decided to disable discard in MD for 3.18 to avoid the risk of data corruption. Hardware vendors in the real world obviously need better guarantees than what the standards bodies provide. Unfortuntely those guarantees are encoded in product requirements documents rather than somewhere we can key off of them programatically. So we are compelled to disabling discard_zeroes_data for all devices unless we explicitly have data to support whitelisting them. This patch whitelists SSDs from a few of the main vendors. None of the whitelists are based on written guarantees. They are purely based on empirical evidence collected from internal and external users that have tested or qualified these drives in RAID deployments. The whitelist is only meant as a starting point and is by no means comprehensive: - All intel SSD models except for 510 - Micron M5?0/M600 - Samsung SSDs - Seagate SSDs Signed-off-by: Martin K.

scsi: drop reason argument from ->change_queue_depth

2014-11-24T13:45:27Z

Drop the now unused reason argument from the ->change_queue_depth method. Also add a return value to scsi_adjust_queue_depth, and rename it to scsi_change_queue_depth now that it can be used as the default ->change_queue_depth implementation.
