Merge tag 'docs-5.9' of git://git.lwn.net/linux
Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet:
"It's been a busy cycle for documentation - hopefully the busiest for a
while to come. Changes include:
- Some new Chinese translations
- Progress on the battle against double words words and non-HTTPS
URLs
- Some block-mq documentation
- More RST conversions from Mauro. At this point, that task is
essentially complete, so we shouldn't see this kind of churn again
for a while. Unless we decide to switch to asciidoc or
something...:)
- Lots of typo fixes, warning fixes, and more"

The Block IO subsystem aimed to achieve the best +performance possible for those devices with a high penalty when doing random +access, and the bottleneck was the mechanical moving parts, a lot slower than +any layer on the storage stack. One example of such optimization technique +involves ordering read/write requests according to the current position of the +hard disk head. + +However, with the development of Solid State Drives and Non-Volatile Memories +without mechanical parts nor random access penalty and capable of performing +high parallel access, the bottleneck of the stack had moved from the storage +device to the operating system. In order to take advantage of the parallelism +in those devices' design, the multi-queue mechanism was introduced. + +The former design had a single queue to store block IO requests with a single +lock. That did not scale well in SMP systems due to dirty data in cache and the +bottleneck of having a single lock for multiple processors. This setup also +suffered with congestion when different processes (or the same process, moving +to different CPUs) wanted to perform block IO. Instead of this, the blk-mq API +spawns multiple queues with individual entry points local to the CPU, removing +the need for a lock. A deeper explanation on how this works is covered in the +following section (`Operation`_). + +Operation +--------- + +When the userspace performs IO to a block device (reading or writing a file, +for instance), blk-mq takes action: it will store and manage IO requests to +the block device, acting as middleware between the userspace (and a file +system, if present) and the block device driver. + +blk-mq has two group of queues: software staging queues and hardware dispatch +queues. When the request arrives at the block layer, it will try the shortest +path possible: send it directly to the hardware queue. However, there are two +cases that it might not do that: if there's an IO scheduler attached at the +layer or if we want to try to merge requests. In both cases, requests will be +sent to the software queue. + +Then, after the requests are processed by software queues, they will be placed +at the hardware queue, a second stage queue were the hardware has direct access +to process those requests. However, if the hardware does not have enough +resources to accept more requests, blk-mq will places requests on a temporary +queue, to be sent in the future, when the hardware is able. + +Software staging queues +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The block IO subsystem adds requests in the software staging queues +(represented by struct :c:type:`blk_mq_ctx`) in case that they weren't sent +directly to the driver. A request is one or more BIOs. They arrived at the +block layer through the data structure struct :c:type:`bio`. The block layer +will then build a new structure from it, the struct :c:type:`request` that will +be used to communicate with the device driver. Each queue has its own lock and +the number of queues is defined by a per-CPU or per-node basis. + +The staging queue can be used to merge requests for adjacent sectors. For +instance, requests for sector 3-6, 6-7, 7-9 can become one request for 3-9. +Even if random access to SSDs and NVMs have the same time of response compared +to sequential access, grouped requests for sequential access decreases the +number of individual requests. This technique of merging requests is called +plugging. + +Along with that, the requests can be reordered to ensure fairness of system +resources (e.g. to ensure that no application suffers from starvation) and/or to +improve IO performance, by an IO scheduler. + +IO Schedulers +^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +There are several schedulers implemented by the block layer, each one following +a heuristic to improve the IO performance. They are "pluggable" (as in plug +and play), in the sense of they can be selected at run time using sysfs. You +can read more about Linux's IO schedulers `here +<https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/block/index.html>`_. The scheduling +happens only between requests in the same queue, so it is not possible to merge +requests from different queues, otherwise there would be cache trashing and a +need to have a lock for each queue. After the scheduling, the requests are +eligible to be sent to the hardware. One of the possible schedulers to be +selected is the NONE scheduler, the most straightforward one. It will just +place requests on whatever software queue the process is running on, without +any reordering. When the device starts processing requests in the hardware +queue (a.k.a. run the hardware queue), the software queues mapped to that +hardware queue will be drained in sequence according to their mapping. + +Hardware dispatch queues +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The hardware queue (represented by struct :c:type:`blk_mq_hw_ctx`) is a struct +used by device drivers to map the device submission queues (or device DMA ring +buffer), and are the last step of the block layer submission code before the +low level device driver taking ownership of the request. To run this queue, the +block layer removes requests from the associated software queues and tries to +dispatch to the hardware. + +If it's not possible to send the requests directly to hardware, they will be +added to a linked list (:c:type:`hctx->dispatch`) of requests. Then, +next time the block layer runs a queue, it will send the requests laying at the +:c:type:`dispatch` list first, to ensure a fairness dispatch with those +requests that were ready to be sent first. The number of hardware queues +depends on the number of hardware contexts supported by the hardware and its +device driver, but it will not be more than the number of cores of the system. +There is no reordering at this stage, and each software queue has a set of +hardware queues to send requests for. + +.. note:: + + Neither the block layer nor the device protocols guarantee + the order of completion of requests. This must be handled by + higher layers, like the filesystem. + +Tag-based completion +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +In order to indicate which request has been completed, every request is +identified by an integer, ranging from 0 to the dispatch queue size. This tag +is generated by the block layer and later reused by the device driver, removing +the need to create a redundant identifier. When a request is completed in the +drive, the tag is sent back to the block layer to notify it of the finalization. +This removes the need to do a linear search to find out which IO has been +completed. + +Further reading +--------------- + +- `Linux Block IO: Introducing Multi-queue SSD Access on Multi-core Systems <http://kernel.dk/blk-mq.pdf>`_ + +- `NOOP scheduler <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noop_scheduler>`_ + +- `Null block device driver <https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/block/null_blk.html>`_ + +Source code documentation +========================= + +.. kernel-doc:: include/linux/blk-mq.h + +.. kernel-doc:: block/blk-mq.c diff --git a/Documentation/block/index.rst b/Documentation/block/index.rst index 026addfc69bc..86dcf7159f99 100644 --- a/Documentation/block/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/block/index.rst @@ -10,6 +10,7 @@ Block bfq-iosched biodoc biovecs + blk-mq capability cmdline-partition data-integrity diff --git a/Documentation/block/pr.rst b/Documentation/block/pr.rst index 30ea1c2e39eb..c893d6da8e04 100644 --- a/Documentation/block/pr.rst +++ b/Documentation/block/pr.rst @@ -9,7 +9,7 @@ access to block devices to specific initiators in a shared storage setup.

It also allows +the compiler to correctly analyze array sizes (via sizeof(), +`CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE`, and `CONFIG_UBSAN_BOUNDS`).

Queste macro richiedono un +argomento aggiuntivo: lo spazio dei nomi. +Tenete presente che per via dell'espansione delle macro questo argomento deve +essere un simbolo di preprocessore. Per esempio per esportare il +simbolo `usb_stor_suspend` nello spazio dei nomi `USB_STORAGE` usate:: + + EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS(usb_stor_suspend, USB_STORAGE); + +Di conseguenza, nella tabella dei simboli del kernel ci sarà una voce +rappresentata dalla struttura `kernel_symbol` che avrà il campo +`namespace` (spazio dei nomi) impostato. Un simbolo esportato senza uno spazio +dei nomi avrà questo campo impostato a `NULL`. Non esiste uno spazio dei nomi +di base. Il programma `modpost` e il codice in kernel/module.c usano lo spazio +dei nomi, rispettivamente, durante la compilazione e durante il caricamento +di un modulo. + +2.2 Usare il simbolo di preprocessore DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE +============================================================== + +Definire lo spazio dei nomi per tutti i simboli di un sottosistema può essere +logorante e di difficile manutenzione. Perciò è stato fornito un simbolo +di preprocessore di base (DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE), che, se impostato, +diventa lo spazio dei simboli di base per tutti gli usi di EXPORT_SYMBOL() +ed EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() che non specificano esplicitamente uno spazio dei nomi. + +Ci sono molti modi per specificare questo simbolo di preprocessore e il loro +uso dipende dalle preferenze del manutentore di un sottosistema. La prima +possibilità è quella di definire il simbolo nel `Makefile` del sottosistema. +Per esempio per esportare tutti i simboli definiti in usb-common nello spazio +dei nomi USB_COMMON, si può aggiungere la seguente linea in +drivers/usb/common/Makefile:: + + ccflags-y += -DDEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE=USB_COMMON + +Questo cambierà tutte le macro EXPORT_SYMBOL() ed EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(). Invece, +un simbolo esportato con EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() non verrà cambiato e il simbolo +verrà esportato nello spazio dei nomi indicato. + +Una seconda possibilità è quella di definire il simbolo di preprocessore +direttamente nei file da compilare. L'esempio precedente diventerebbe:: + + #undef DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE + #define DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE USB_COMMON + +Questo va messo prima di un qualsiasi uso di EXPORT_SYMBOL. + +3. Come usare i simboli esportati attraverso uno spazio dei nomi +================================================================ + +Per usare i simboli esportati da uno spazio dei nomi, i moduli del +kernel devono esplicitamente importare il relativo spazio dei nomi; altrimenti +il kernel potrebbe rifiutarsi di caricare il modulo. Il codice del +modulo deve usare la macro MODULE_IMPORT_NS per importare lo spazio +dei nomi che contiene i simboli desiderati. Per esempio un modulo che +usa il simbolo usb_stor_suspend deve importare lo spazio dei nomi +USB_STORAGE usando la seguente dichiarazione:: + + MODULE_IMPORT_NS(USB_STORAGE); + +Questo creerà un'etichetta `modinfo` per ogni spazio dei nomi +importato. Un risvolto di questo fatto è che gli spazi dei +nomi importati da un modulo possono essere ispezionati tramite +modinfo:: + + $ modinfo drivers/usb/storage/ums-karma.ko + [...] + import_ns: USB_STORAGE + [...] + + +Si consiglia di posizionare la dichiarazione MODULE_IMPORT_NS() vicino +ai metadati del modulo come MODULE_AUTHOR() o MODULE_LICENSE(). Fate +riferimento alla sezione 5. per creare automaticamente le importazioni +mancanti. + +4. Caricare moduli che usano simboli provenienti da spazi dei nomi +================================================================== + +Quando un modulo viene caricato (per esempio usando `insmod`), il kernel +verificherà la disponibilità di ogni simbolo usato e se lo spazio dei nomi +che potrebbe contenerli è stato importato. Il comportamento di base del kernel +è di rifiutarsi di caricare quei moduli che non importano tutti gli spazi dei +nomi necessari. L'errore verrà annotato e il caricamento fallirà con l'errore +EINVAL. Per caricare i moduli che non soddisfano questo requisito esiste +un'opzione di configurazione: impostare +MODULE_ALLOW_MISSING_NAMESPACE_IMPORTS=y caricherà i moduli comunque ma +emetterà un avviso. + +5. Creare automaticamente la dichiarazione MODULE_IMPORT_NS +=========================================================== + +La mancanza di un'importazione può essere individuata facilmente al momento +della compilazione. Infatti, modpost emetterà un avviso se il modulo usa +un simbolo da uno spazio dei nomi che non è stato importato. +La dichiarazione MODULE_IMPORT_NS() viene solitamente aggiunta in un posto +ben definito (assieme agli altri metadati del modulo). Per facilitare +la vita di chi scrive moduli (e i manutentori di sottosistemi), esistono uno +script e un target make per correggere le importazioni mancanti. Questo può +essere fatto con:: + + $ make nsdeps + +Lo scenario tipico di chi scrive un modulo potrebbe essere:: + + - scrivere codice che dipende da un simbolo appartenente ad uno spazio + dei nomi non importato + - eseguire `make` + - aver notato un avviso da modpost che parla di un'importazione + mancante + - eseguire `make nsdeps` per aggiungere import nel posto giusto + +Per i manutentori di sottosistemi che vogliono aggiungere uno spazio dei nomi, +l'approccio è simile. Di nuovo, eseguendo `make nsdeps` aggiungerà le +importazioni mancanti nei moduli inclusi nel kernel:: + + - spostare o aggiungere simboli ad uno spazio dei nomi (per esempio + usando EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS()) + - eseguire `make` (preferibilmente con allmodconfig per coprire tutti + i moduli del kernel) + - aver notato un avviso da modpost che parla di un'importazione + mancante + - eseguire `make nsdeps` per aggiungere import nel posto giusto + +Potete anche eseguire nsdeps per moduli esterni. Solitamente si usa così:: + + $ make -C <path_to_kernel_src> M=$PWD nsdeps diff --git a/Documentation/translations/it_IT/index.rst b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/index.rst index 409eaac03e9f..bb8fa7346939 100644 --- a/Documentation/translations/it_IT/index.rst +++ b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/index.rst @@ -121,9 +121,10 @@ file sorgenti, informazioni aggiuntive vengono aggiunte solo se necessarie (o almeno ci proviamo — probabilmente *non* tutto quello che è davvero necessario). -.. warning:: +.. toctree:: + :maxdepth: 2 - TODO ancora da tradurre + core-api/index Documentazione specifica per architettura ----------------------------------------- diff --git a/Documentation/translations/it_IT/kernel-hacking/hacking.rst b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/kernel-hacking/hacking.rst index e9a2e92134f0..6aab27a8d323 100644 --- a/Documentation/translations/it_IT/kernel-hacking/hacking.rst +++ b/Documentation/translations/it_IT/kernel-hacking/hacking.rst @@ -634,7 +634,7 @@ Definita in ``include/linux/export.h`` Questa è una variate di `EXPORT_SYMBOL()` che permette di specificare uno spazio dei nomi.
