block: remove ->rw_page

2023-02-03T06:33:34Z

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.

block: bdev & blktrace: use consistent function doc. notation

2022-12-01T16:16:46Z

Use only one hyphen in kernel-doc notation between the function name and its short description. The is the documented kerenl-doc format. It also fixes the HTML presentation to be consistent with other functions.

vfs: support STATX_DIOALIGN on block devices

2022-09-12T00:47:12Z

Add support for STATX_DIOALIGN to block devices, so that direct I/O alignment restrictions are exposed to userspace in a generic way. Note that this breaks the tradition of stat operating only on the block device node, not the block device itself. However, it was felt that doing this is preferable, in order to make the interface useful and avoid needing separate interfaces for regular files and block devices.

block: add sync_blockdev_range()

2022-05-23T02:17:30Z

sync_blockdev_range() is to support syncing multiple sectors with as few block device requests as possible, it is helpful to make the block device to give full play to its performance.

block: turn bdev->bd_openers into an atomic_t

2022-04-18T12:54:09Z

All manipulation of bd_openers is under disk->open_mutex and will remain so for the foreseeable future. But at least one place reads it without the lock (blkdev_get) and there are more to be added. So make sure the compiler does not do turn the increments and decrements into non-atomic sequences by using an atomic_t.
