Merge tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost

Pull vhost updates from Michael Tsirkin: "virtio, vhost: optimizations, fixes Looks like a quiet cycle for vhost/virtio, just a couple of minor tweaks. Most notable is automatic interrupt affinity for blk and scsi. Hopefully other devices are not far behind" * tag 'for_linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost: virtio-console: avoid DMA from stack vhost: introduce O(1) vq metadata cache virtio_scsi: use virtio IRQ affinity virtio_blk: use virtio IRQ affinity blk-mq: provide a default queue mapping for virtio device virtio: provide a method to get the IRQ affinity mask for a virtqueue virtio: allow drivers to request IRQ affinity when creating VQs virtio_pci: simplify MSI-X setup virtio_pci: don't duplicate the msix_enable flag in struct pci_dev virtio_pci: use shared interrupts for virtqueues virtio_pci: remove struct virtio_pci_vq_info vhost: try avoiding avail index access when getting descriptor virtio_mmio: expose header to userspace

blk-mq: provide a default queue mapping for virtio device

2017-02-27T18:54:05Z

Similar to the PCI version, just calling into virtio instead. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin

block: Add Sed-opal library

2017-02-06T16:44:19Z

This patch implements the necessary logic to bring an Opal enabled drive out of a factory-enabled into a working Opal state. This patch set also enables logic to save a password to be replayed during a resume from suspend.

block: make scsi_request and scsi ioctl support optional

2017-01-31T17:53:05Z

We only need this code to support scsi, ide, cciss and virtio. And at least for virtio it's a deprecated feature to start with. This should shrink the kernel size for embedded device that only use, say eMMC a bit. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blk-mq: fix debugfs compilation issues

2017-01-27T22:03:01Z

This fixes a couple of problems: 1. In the !CONFIG_DEBUG_FS case, the stub definitions were bogus. 2. In the !CONFIG_BLOCK case, blk-mq-debugfs.c shouldn't be compiled at all. Fix the stub definitions and add a CONFIG_BLK_DEBUG_FS Kconfig option. Fixes: 07e4fead45e6 ("blk-mq: create debugfs directory tree") Signed-off-by: Omar Sandoval Augment Kconfig description.

blk-mq: create debugfs directory tree

2017-01-27T15:17:44Z

In preparation for putting blk-mq debugging information in debugfs, create a directory tree mirroring the one in sysfs: # tree -d /sys/kernel/debug/block /sys/kernel/debug/block |-- nvme0n1 | `-- mq | |-- 0 | | `-- cpu0 | |-- 1 | | `-- cpu1 | |-- 2 | | `-- cpu2 | `-- 3 | `-- cpu3 `-- vda `-- mq `-- 0 |-- cpu0 |-- cpu1 |-- cpu2 `-- cpu3 Also add the scaffolding for the actual files that will go in here, either under the hardware queue or software queue directories.

mq-deadline: add blk-mq adaptation of the deadline IO scheduler

2017-01-17T17:04:25Z

This is basically identical to deadline-iosched, except it registers as a MQ capable scheduler. This is still a single queue design. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Reviewed-by: Bart Van Assche Reviewed-by: Omar Sandoval

blk-mq-sched: add framework for MQ capable IO schedulers

2017-01-17T17:04:20Z

This adds a set of hooks that intercepts the blk-mq path of allocating/inserting/issuing/completing requests, allowing us to develop a scheduler within that framework. We reuse the existing elevator scheduler API on the registration side, but augment that with the scheduler flagging support for the blk-mq interfce, and with a separate set of ops hooks for MQ devices. We split driver and scheduler tags, so we can run the scheduling independently of device queue depth. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Reviewed-by: Bart Van Assche Reviewed-by: Omar Sandoval

blk-wbt: add general throttling mechanism

2016-11-10T20:53:32Z

We can hook this up to the block layer, to help throttle buffered writes. wbt registers a few trace points that can be used to track what is happening in the system: wbt_lat: 259:0: latency 2446318 wbt_stat: 259:0: rmean=2446318, rmin=2446318, rmax=2446318, rsamples=1, wmean=518866, wmin=15522, wmax=5330353, wsamples=57 wbt_step: 259:0: step down: step=1, window=72727272, background=8, normal=16, max=32 This shows a sync issue event (wbt_lat) that exceeded it's time. wbt_stat dumps the current read/write stats for that window, and wbt_step shows a step down event where we now scale back writes. Each trace includes the device, 259:0 in this case. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
