When issuing,\nexecuting and successuflly completing requests, failfast doesn\u0027t make\nany difference. It only affects how a request is handled on failure.\nAllowing requests with different failfast settings to be merged cause\nnormal IOs to fail prematurely while not allowing has performance\npenalties as failfast is used for read aheads which are likely to be\nlocated near in-flight or to-be-issued normal IOs.\n\nThis patch introduces the concept of \u0027mixed merge\u0027. A request is a\nmixed merge if it is merge of segments which require different\nhandling on failure. Currently the only mixable attributes are\nfailfast ones (or lack thereof).\n\nWhen a bio with different failfast settings is added to an existing\nrequest or requests of different failfast settings are merged, the\nmerged request is marked mixed. Each bio carries failfast settings\nand the request always tracks failfast state of the first bio. When\nthe request fails, blk_rq_err_bytes() can be used to determine how\nmany bytes can be safely failed without crossing into an area which\nrequires further retrials.\n\nThis allows request merging regardless of failfast settings while\nkeeping the failure handling correct.\n\nThis patch only implements mixed merge but doesn\u0027t enable it. The\nnext one will update SCSI to make use of mixed merge.\n\nSigned-off-by: Tejun Heo \u003ctj@kernel.org\u003e\nCc: Niel Lambrechts \u003cniel.lambrechts@gmail.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003cjens.axboe@oracle.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "3c4198e874cde694f5ea1463706873e7907bdb18", "tree": "2315e8e86996c98ddfa74059dc61255317bef0eb", "parents": [ "ba396a6c104682dfe5c8b4fbbf5974d5ac9f3687" ], "author": { "name": "Kiyoshi Ueda", "email": "k-ueda@ct.jp.nec.com", "time": "Wed May 27 14:50:02 2009 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Jens Axboe", "email": "jens.axboe@oracle.com", "time": "Wed May 27 14:50:02 2009 +0200" }, "message": "block: fix no diskstat problem\n\nThe commit below in 2.6-block/for-2.6.31 causes no diskstat problem\nbecause the blk_discard_rq() check was added with \u0027\u0026\u0026\u0027.\nIt should be \u0027blk_fs_request() || blk_discard_rq()\u0027.\nThis patch does it and fixes the no diskstat problem.\nPlease review and apply.\n\n------ /proc/diskstat without this patch -------------------------------------\n 8 0 sda 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n----- /proc/diskstat with this patch applied ---------------------------------\n 8 0 sda 4186 303 373621 61600 9578 3859 107468 169479 2 89755 231059\n------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------\ncommit c69d48540c201394d08cb4d48b905e001313d9b8\nAuthor: Jens Axboe \u003cjens.axboe@oracle.com\u003e\nDate: Fri Apr 24 08:12:19 2009 +0200\n\n block: include discard requests in IO accounting\n\n We currently don\u0027t do merging on discard requests, but we potentially\n could.

The thing is that as block\nlayer supports partial completion, the two cursors really aren\u0027t\nnecessary and only cause confusion. In addition, manual management of\nrequest detail from low level drivers is cumbersome and error-prone at\nthe very least.\n\nAnother interesting duplicate fields are rq-\u003e[hard_]nr_sectors and\nrq-\u003e{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors against rq-\u003edata_len and\nrq-\u003ebio-\u003ebi_size. This is more convoluted than the hard_ case.\n\nrq-\u003e[hard_]nr_sectors are initialized for requests with bio but\nblk_rq_bytes() uses it only for !pc requests. rq-\u003edata_len is\ninitialized for all request but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for pc\nrequests. This causes good amount of confusion throughout block layer\nand its drivers and determining the request length has been a bit of\nblack magic which may or may not work depending on circumstances and\nwhat the specific LLD is actually doing.\n\nrq-\u003e{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors represent the number of sectors in\nthe contiguous data area at the front. This is mainly used by drivers\nwhich transfers data by walking request segment-by-segment. This\nvalue always equals rq-\u003ebio-\u003ebi_size \u003e\u003e 9. However, data length for\npc requests may not be multiple of 512 bytes and using this field\nbecomes a bit confusing.\n\nIn general, having multiple fields to represent the same property\nleads only to confusion and subtle bugs. With recent block low level\ndriver cleanups, no driver is accessing or manipulating these\nduplicate fields directly. Drop all the duplicates. Now rq-\u003esector\nmeans the current sector, rq-\u003edata_len the current total length and\nrq-\u003ebio-\u003ebi_size the current segment length. Everything else is\ndefined in terms of these three and available only through accessors.\n\n* blk_recalc_rq_sectors() is collapsed into blk_update_request() and\n now handles pc and fs requests equally other than rq-\u003esector update.\n This means that now pc requests can use partial completion too (no\n in-kernel user yet tho).\n\n* bio_cur_sectors() is replaced with bio_cur_bytes() as block layer\n now uses byte count as the primary data length.\n\n* blk_rq_pos() is now guranteed to be always correct. In-block users\n converted.\n\n* blk_rq_bytes() is now guaranteed to be always valid as is\n blk_rq_sectors(). In-block users converted.\n\n* blk_rq_sectors() is now guaranteed to equal blk_rq_bytes() \u003e\u003e 9.\n More convenient one is used.\n\n* blk_rq_bytes() and blk_rq_cur_bytes() are now inlined and take const\n pointer to request.\n\n[ Impact: API cleanup, single way to represent one property of a request ]\n\nSigned-off-by: Tejun Heo \u003ctj@kernel.org\u003e\nCc: Boaz Harrosh \u003cbharrosh@panasas.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003cjens.axboe@oracle.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "c69d48540c201394d08cb4d48b905e001313d9b8", "tree": "6ad78b44cd7fc5d65a0c3bded49f8cb14f4790a9", "parents": [ "c2553b5844b06910435e40cfab9e6f384840cb97" ], "author": { "name": "Jens Axboe", "email": "jens.axboe@oracle.com", "time": "Fri Apr 24 08:12:19 2009 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Jens Axboe", "email": "jens.axboe@oracle.com", "time": "Tue Apr 28 07:37:37 2009 +0200" }, "message": "block: include discard requests in IO accounting\n\nWe currently don\u0027t do merging on discard requests, but we potentially\ncould.
