block: add bio_start_io_acct_time() to control start_time

2022-01-28T19:28:15+00:00

bio_start_io_acct_time() interface is like bio_start_io_acct() that allows start_time to be passed in. This gives drivers the ability to defer starting accounting until after IO is issued (but possibily not entirely due to bio splitting).

While harmless, the blank line is certainly not intended to be part of the rq_list_for_each() macro. Remove it. Signed-off-by: Keith Busch Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211222215239.1768164-1-kbusch@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: use "unsigned long" for blk_validate_block_size().

2021-12-21T16:32:57+00:00

Since lo_simple_ioctl(LOOP_SET_BLOCK_SIZE) and ioctl(NBD_SET_BLKSIZE) pass user-controlled "unsigned long arg" to blk_validate_block_size(), "unsigned long" should be used for validation.

blk-mq: move srcu from blk_mq_hw_ctx to request_queue

2021-12-03T21:51:29+00:00

In case of BLK_MQ_F_BLOCKING, per-hctx srcu is used to protect dispatch critical area. However, this srcu instance stays at the end of hctx, and it often takes standalone cacheline, often cold. Inside srcu_read_lock() and srcu_read_unlock(), WRITE is always done on the indirect percpu variable which is allocated from heap instead of being embedded, srcu->srcu_idx is read only in srcu_read_lock(). It doesn't matter if srcu structure stays in hctx or request queue. So switch to per-request-queue srcu for protecting dispatch, and this way simplifies quiesce a lot, not mention quiesce is always done on the request queue wide.

blk-crypto: remove blk_crypto_unregister()

2021-11-29T13:38:51+00:00

This function is trivial and is only used in one place. Having this function is misleading because it implies that blk_crypto_register() needs to be paired with blk_crypto_unregister(), which is not the case. Just set disk->queue->crypto_profile to NULL directly.

block: only allocate poll_stats if there's a user of them

2021-11-29T13:38:35+00:00

This is essentially never used, yet it's about 1/3rd of the total queue size. Allocate it when needed, and don't embed it in the queue. Kill the queue flag for this while at it, since we can just check the assigned pointer now. Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
