loop: make do_req_filebacked more robust

2016-08-04T20:19:16Z

Use a switch statement to iterate over the possible operations and error out if it's an incorrect one. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

loop: don't try to use AIO for discards

2016-08-04T20:19:16Z

Fix a fat-fingered conversion to the req_op accessors, and also use a switch statement to make it more obvious what is being checked. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reported-by: Dave Chinner Fixes: c2df40 ("drivers: use req op accessor"); Reviewed-by: Ming Lei Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

loop: Make user notify for adding loop device failed

2016-07-12T23:17:18Z

There is no error number returned if loop driver fails in function alloc_disk to add new loop device. Add a correct error number to make user notify in this case. Signed-off-by: Minfei Huang Reviewed-by: Ming Lei Reviewed-by: Jeff Moyer Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block, drivers: add REQ_OP_FLUSH operation

2016-06-07T19:41:38Z

This adds a REQ_OP_FLUSH operation that is sent to request_fn based drivers by the block layer's flush code, instead of sending requests with the request->cmd_flags REQ_FLUSH bit set. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

drivers: use req op accessor

2016-06-07T19:41:38Z

The req operation REQ_OP is separated from the rq_flag_bits definition. This converts the block layer drivers to use req_op to get the op from the request struct. Signed-off-by: Mike Christie Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block, drivers, cgroup: use op_is_write helper instead of checking for REQ_WRITE

2016-06-07T19:41:38Z

We currently set REQ_WRITE/WRITE for all non READ IOs like discard, flush, writesame, etc. In the next patches where we no longer set up the op as a bitmap, we will not be able to detect a operation direction like writesame by testing if REQ_WRITE is set. This patch converts the drivers and cgroup to use the op_is_write helper. This should just cover the simple cases. I did dm, md and bcache in their own patches because they were more involved.

Merge branch 'for-4.7/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2016-05-17T23:03:32Z

Pull block driver updates from Jens Axboe: "On top of the core pull request, this is the drivers pull request for this merge window. This contains: - Switch drivers to the new write back cache API, and kill off the flush flags. From me. - Kill the discard support for the STEC pci-e flash driver. It's trivially broken, and apparently unmaintained, so it's safer to just remove it. From Jeff Moyer. - A set of lightnvm updates from the usual suspects (Matias/Javier, and Simon), and fixes from Arnd, Jeff Mahoney, Sagi, and Wenwei Tao. - A set of updates for NVMe: - Turn the controller state management into a proper state machine. From Christoph. - Shuffling of code in preparation for NVMe-over-fabrics, also from Christoph. - Cleanup of the command prep part from Ming Lin. - Rewrite of the discard support from Ming Lin. - Deadlock fix for namespace removal from Ming Lin. - Use the now exported blk-mq tag helper for IO termination. From Sagi. - Various little fixes from Christoph, Guilherme, Keith, Ming Lin, Wang Sheng-Hui. - Convert mtip32xx to use the now exported blk-mq tag iter function, from Keith" * 'for-4.7/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (74 commits) lightnvm: reserved space calculation incorrect lightnvm: rename nr_pages to nr_ppas on nvm_rq lightnvm: add is_cached entry to struct ppa_addr lightnvm: expose gennvm_mark_blk to targets lightnvm: remove mgt targets on mgt removal lightnvm: pass dma address to hardware rather than pointer lightnvm: do not assume sequential lun alloc. nvme/lightnvm: Log using the ctrl named device lightnvm: rename dma helper functions lightnvm: enable metadata to be sent to device lightnvm: do not free unused metadata on rrpc lightnvm: fix out of bound ppa lun id on bb tbl lightnvm: refactor set_bb_tbl for accepting ppa list lightnvm: move responsibility for bad blk mgmt to target lightnvm: make nvm_set_rqd_ppalist() aware of vblks lightnvm: remove struct factory_blks lightnvm: refactor device ops->get_bb_tbl() lightnvm: introduce nvm_for_each_lun_ppa() macro lightnvm: refactor dev->online_target to global nvm_targets lightnvm: rename nvm_targets to nvm_tgt_type ...

block: loop: fix filesystem corruption in case of aio/dio

2016-04-15T14:25:56Z

Starting from commit e36f620428(block: split bios to max possible length), block core starts to split bio in the middle of bvec. Unfortunately loop dio/aio doesn't consider this situation, and always treat 'iter.iov_offset' as zero. Then filesystem corruption is observed. This patch figures out the offset of the base bvevc via 'bio->bi_iter.bi_bvec_done' and fixes the issue by passing the offset to iov iterator.
