loop: add blk-mq.h include

2015-01-02T22:20:25Z

Looks like we pull it in through other ways on x86, but we fail on sparc: In file included from drivers/block/cryptoloop.c:30:0: drivers/block/loop.h:63:24: error: field 'tag_set' has incomplete type struct blk_mq_tag_set tag_set; Add the include to loop.h, kill it from loop.c.

block: loop: don't handle REQ_FUA explicitly

2015-01-02T22:07:49Z

block core handles REQ_FUA by its flush state machine, so won't do it in loop explicitly. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: loop: introduce lo_discard() and lo_req_flush()

2015-01-02T22:07:49Z

No behaviour change, just move the handling for REQ_DISCARD and REQ_FLUSH in these two functions. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: loop: improve performance via blk-mq

2015-01-02T22:07:49Z

The conversion is a bit straightforward, and use work queue to dispatch requests of loop block, and one big change is that requests is submitted to backend file/device concurrently with work queue, so throughput may get improved much. Given write requests over same file are often run exclusively, so don't handle them concurrently for avoiding extra context switch cost, possible lock contention and work schedule cost. Also with blk-mq, there is opportunity to get loop I/O merged before submitting to backend file/device. In the following test: - base: v3.19-rc2-2041231 - loop over file in ext4 file system on SSD disk - bs: 4k, libaio, io depth: 64, O_DIRECT, num of jobs: 1 - throughput: IOPS ------------------------------------------------------ | | base | base with loop-mq | delta | ------------------------------------------------------ | randread | 1740 | 25318 | +1355%| ------------------------------------------------------ | read | 42196 | 51771 | +22.6%| ----------------------------------------------------- | randwrite | 35709 | 34624 | -3% | ----------------------------------------------------- | write | 39137 | 40326 | +3% | ----------------------------------------------------- So loop-mq can improve throughput for both read and randread, meantime, performance of write and randwrite isn't hurted basically. Another benefit is that loop driver code gets simplified much after blk-mq conversion, and the patch can be thought as cleanup too. Signed-off-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: Convert bio_for_each_segment() to bvec_iter

2013-11-24T06:33:49Z

More prep work for immutable biovecs - with immutable bvecs drivers won't be able to use the biovec directly, they'll need to use helpers that take into account bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done. This updates callers for the new usage without changing the implementation yet.
