block: remove ->rw_page

2023-02-03T06:33:34+00:00

The ->rw_page method is a special purpose bypass of the usual bio handling path that is limited to single-page reads and writes and synchronous which causes a lot of extra code in the drivers, callers and the block layer. The only remaining user is the MM swap code. Switch that swap code to simply submit a single-vec on-stack bio an synchronously wait on it based on a newly added QUEUE_FLAG_SYNCHRONOUS flag set by the drivers that currently implement ->rw_page instead. While this touches one extra cache line and executes extra code, it simplifies the block layer and drivers and ensures that all feastures are properly supported by all drivers, e.g. right now ->rw_page bypassed cgroup writeback entirely.

nvdimm-btt: Use the enum req_op type

Improve static type checking by using the enum req_op type where appropriate. Cc: Dan Williams Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220714180729.1065367-20-bvanassche@acm.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: Change the type of the last .rw_page() argument

2022-07-14T18:14:30+00:00

All .rw_page() callers pass an enum req_op value as last argument. Make this explicit by changing the type of the last argument into enum req_op. See also commit 3f289dcb4b26 ("block: make bdev_ops->rw_page() take a REQ_OP instead of bool").

blk_cleanup_disk is nothing but a trivial wrapper for put_disk now, so remove it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220619060552.1850436-7-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

nvdimm-btt: use bvec_kmap_local in btt_rw_integrity

2022-03-04T19:29:21+00:00

Using local kmaps slightly reduces the chances to stray writes, and the bvec interface cleans up the code a little bit. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Ira Weiny Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220303111905.321089-7-hch@lst.de Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: remove genhd.h

2022-02-02T14:49:59+00:00

There is no good reason to keep genhd.h separate from the main blkdev.h header that includes it. So fold the contents of genhd.h into blkdev.h and remove genhd.h entirely.

Merge tag 'cxl-for-5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cxl/cxl

2021-11-08T19:49:48+00:00

Pull cxl updates from Dan Williams: "More preparation and plumbing work in the CXL subsystem. From an end user perspective the highlight here is lighting up the CXL Persistent Memory related commands (label read / write) with the generic ioctl() front-end in LIBNVDIMM. Otherwise, the ability to instantiate new persistent and volatile memory regions is still on track for v5.17. Summary: - Fix support for platforms that do not enumerate every ACPI0016 (CXL Host Bridge) in the CHBS (ACPI Host Bridge Structure). - Introduce a common pci_find_dvsec_capability() helper, clean up open coded implementations in various drivers. - Add 'cxl_test' for regression testing CXL subsystem ABIs. 'cxl_test' is a module built from tools/testing/cxl/ that mocks up a CXL topology to augment the nascent support for emulation of CXL devices in QEMU. - Convert libnvdimm to use the uuid API. - Complete the definition of CXL namespace labels in libnvdimm. - Tunnel libnvdimm label operations from nd_ioctl() back to the CXL mailbox driver. Enable 'ndctl {read,write}-labels' for CXL. - Continue to sort and refactor functionality into distinct driver and core-infrastructure buckets. For example, mailbox handling is now a generic core capability consumed by the PCI and cxl_test drivers" * tag 'cxl-for-5.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cxl/cxl: (34 commits) ocxl: Use pci core's DVSEC functionality cxl/pci: Use pci core's DVSEC functionality PCI: Add pci_find_dvsec_capability to find designated VSEC cxl/pci: Split cxl_pci_setup_regs() cxl/pci: Add @base to cxl_register_map cxl/pci: Make more use of cxl_register_map cxl/pci: Remove pci request/release regions cxl/pci: Fix NULL vs ERR_PTR confusion cxl/pci: Remove dev_dbg for unknown register blocks cxl/pci: Convert register block identifiers to an enum cxl/acpi: Do not fail cxl_acpi_probe() based on a missing CHBS cxl/pci: Disambiguate cxl_pci further from cxl_mem Documentation/cxl: Add bus internal docs cxl/core: Split decoder setup into alloc + add tools/testing/cxl: Introduce a mock memory device + driver cxl/mbox: Move command definitions to common location cxl/bus: Populate the target list at decoder create tools/testing/cxl: Introduce a mocked-up CXL port hierarchy cxl/pmem: Add support for multiple nvdimm-bridge objects cxl/pmem: Translate NVDIMM label commands to CXL label commands ...
