Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 5ea4298669 xen/blk[front|back]: Enhance discard support with secure erasing support.
Part of the blkdev_issue_discard(xx) operation is that it can also
issue a secure discard operation that will permanantly remove the
sectors in question. We advertise that we can support that via the
'discard-secure' attribute and on the request, if the 'secure' bit
is set, we will attempt to pass in REQ_DISCARD | REQ_SECURE.

[v1: Used 'flag' instead of 'secure:1' bit]
[v2: Use 'reserved' uint8_t instead of adding a new value]
[v3: Check for nseg when mapping instead of operation]

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk d11e615830 xen-blkfront: If no barrier or flush is supported, use invalid operation.
Guard against issuing BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER or BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_CACHE
by checking whether we successfully negotiated with the backend.
The negotiation with the backend also sets the q->flush_flags which
fortunately for us is also used when submitting an bio to us. If
we don't support barriers or flushes it would be set to zero so
we should never end up having to deal with REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

However, other third party implementations of __make_request that
might be stacked on top of us might not be so smart, so lets fix this up.

Li Dongyang 69ef68cef9 xen-blkfront: fix a deadlock while handling discard response
When we get -EOPNOTSUPP response for a discard request, we will clear
the discard flag on the request queue so we won't attempt to send discard
requests to backend again, and this should be protected under rq->queue_lock.
However, when we setup the request queue, we pass blkif_io_lock to
blk_init_queue so rq->queue_lock is blkif_io_lock indeed, and this lock
is already taken when we are in blkif_interrpt, so remove the
spin_lock/spin_unlock when we clear the discard flag or we will end up
with deadlock here

Stefan Bader 196cfe2ae8 xen-blkfront: Drop name and minor adjustments for emulated scsi devices
These were intended to avoid the namespace clash when representing
emulated IDE and SCSI devices. However that seems to confuse users
more than expected (a disk defined as sda becomes xvde).
So for now go back to the scheme which does no adjustments. This
will break when mixing IDE and SCSI names in the configuration of
guests but should be by now expected.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk edf6ef59ec xen-blkfront: Introduce BLKIF_OP_FLUSH_DISKCACHE support.
If the backend supports the 'feature-flush-cache' mode, use that
instead of the 'feature-barrier' support.

Currently there are three backends that support the 'feature-flush-cache'
mode: NetBSD, Solaris and Linux kernel. The 'flush' option is much
light-weight version than the 'barrier' support so lets try to use as
there are no filesystems in the kernel that use full barriers anymore.

This patch makes sure blkfront handles correctly virtual device numbers
corresponding to Xen emulated IDE and SCSI disks: in those cases
blkfront translates the major number to XENVBD and the minor number to a
low xvd minor.

Note: this behaviour is different from what old xenlinux PV guests used
to do: they used to steal an IDE or SCSI major number and use it
instead.

REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers.  What's left
at this point is:

 - various checks inside the block layer.
 - sanity checks in bio based drivers.
 - now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
 - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
   but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
 - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
   drivers.
 - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been
   removed when flushes were converted to FS requests.
 - blktrace handling of barriers - removed.  Someone who knows blktrace
   better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though.

Tejun Heo 4913efe456 block: deprecate barrier and replace blk_queue_ordered() with blk_queue_flush()
Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA
requests.  Deprecate barrier.  All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().

blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA.  If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH.  If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.

All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.

* ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

Ian Campbell 1dc7ce99b0 xen: pvhvm: rename xen_emul_unplug=ignore to =unnnecessary
It is not immediately clear what this option causes to become
ignored. The actual meaning is that it is not necessary to unplug the
emulated devices to safely use the PV ones, even if the platform does
not support the unplug protocol. (pressumably the user will only add
this option if they have ensured that their domain configuration is
safe).

I think xen_emul_unplug=unnecessary better captures this.

When barriers are supported, then use QUEUE_ORDERED_TAG to tell the block

Previously we used ORDERED_DRAIN which caused the block subsystem to

We cannot read backend state within bdev operations, because it risks
grabbing the state change before xenbus gets to do it.

Fixed by tracking deferral with a frontend switch to Closing. State
exposure isn't strictly necessary, but the backends won't mind.

For a 'clean' deferral this seems actually a more decent protocol than

This still doesn't address all issues resulting from forced detach:
I/O submitted after the detach still blocks forever, likely preventing

Arnd Bergmann 6e9624b8ca block: push down BKL into .open and .release
The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.

This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.

The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.

Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

We can fix this by calling del_gendisk() later in blkfront_closing, after

releasing the blkif_io_lock and deleting the disk.

will go directly from the Initialising state to Closing->Closed.
Previously this would result in a NULL pointer deref on info->gd
(xenbus_dev_fatal does not return as a1a15ac5 seems to expect)

Tejun Heo 9934c8c045 block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch
Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request().  After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing.  Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.

Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary.  However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing.  Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.

Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model.  This patch completes the API transition by...

* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()

* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()

* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start

* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests

* applying new API to all LLDs

Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

[ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

Tejun Heo f06d9a2b52 block: replace end_request() with [__]blk_end_request_cur()
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().

Tejun Heo 40cbbb781d block: implement and use [__]blk_end_request_all()
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

Jens Axboe 9e973e64ac xen/blkfront: use blk_rq_map_sg to generate ring entries

> too many segments, but from the dump it has rq->nr_phys_segments ==
> BLKIF_MAX_SEGMENTS_PER_REQUEST. I suspect the latter is due to

> Here's a test patch, compiles but otherwise untested. I spent more

Al Viro d4430d62fa [PATCH] beginning of methods conversion
To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.

Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

New methods:
	open(bdev, mode)
	release(disk, mode)
	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */
	compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
	locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)	/* Called with BKL, legacy */

Until recently, the maximum number of xvd block devices you could attach

However, this requires a couple of changes in the way that blkfront
scans for disks. This functionality is already present in the Xen
linux-2.6.18-xen.hg tree; the attached patch adds this functionality to
the mainline xen-blkfront implementation. I successfully tested it on a

Ian Campbell a144ff09bc xen: Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume path
Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume path by
preventing the allocations from doing IO and allowing them
to access the emergency pools.

These paths are used when a frontend device is trying to connect
to its backend driver over Xenbus.  These reconnections are triggered
on demand by IO, so by definition there is already IO underway,
and further IO would naturally deadlock.  On resume, this path
is triggered when the running system tries to continue using its
devices.  If it cannot then the resume will fail; to try to avoid this
we let it dip into the emergency pools.

When the xen block frontend driver is built as a module the module load
is only synchronous up to the point where the frontend and the backend
become connected rather than when the disk is added.

This means that there can be a race on boot between loading the module and
loading the dm-* modules and doing the scan for LVM physical volumes (all
in the initrd). In the failure case the disk is not present until after the
scan for physical volumes is complete.

Markus Armbruster 3e334239d8 xen: Make xen-blkfront write its protocol ABI to xenstore
Frontends are expected to write their protocol ABI to xenstore.  Since
the protocol ABI defaults to the backend's native ABI, things work
fine without that as long as the frontend's native ABI is identical to
the backend's native ABI.  This is not the case for xen-blkfront
running 32-on-64, because its ABI differs between 32 and 64 bit, and
thus needs this fix.
