2014-10-03block: add bioset_create_nobvec()Junichi Nomura
Users of bio_clone_fast() do not want bios with their own bvecs. Allocating a bvec mempool as part of the bioset intended for such users is a waste of memory. bioset_create_nobvec() creates a bioset that doesn't have the bvec mempool.

2014-08-01block: use kmalloc alignment for bio slabMikulas Patocka
Various subsystems can ask the bio subsystem to create a bio slab cache with some free space before the bio. This free space can be used for any purpose. Device mapper uses this per-bio-data feature to place some target-specific and device-mapper specific data before the bio, so that the target-specific data doesn't have to be allocated separately. This per-bio-data mechanism is used in place of kmalloc, so we need the allocated slab to have the same memory alignment as memory allocated with kmalloc. Change bio_find_or_create_slab() so that it uses ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN alignment when creating the slab cache. This is needed so that dm-crypt can use per-bio-data for encryption - the crypto subsystem assumes this data will have the same alignment as kmalloc'ed memory.

2014-06-24block: add support for limiting gaps in SG listsJens Axboe
Another restriction inherited for NVMe - those devices don't support SG lists that have "gaps" in them. Gaps refers to cases where the previous SG entry doesn't end on a page boundary. For NVMe, all SG entries must start at offset 0 (except the first) and end on a page boundary (except the last). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>

Pull block layer fixes from Jens Axboe: "Final small batch of fixes to be included before -rc1. Some general cleanups in here as well, but some of the blk-mq fixes we need for the NVMe conversion and/or scsi-mq. The pull request contains: - Support for not merging across a specified "chunk size", if set by the driver. Some NVMe devices perform poorly for IO that crosses such a chunk, so we need to support it generically as part of request merging avoid having to do complicated split logic. From me. - Bump max tag depth to 10Ki tags. Some scsi devices have a huge shared tag space. Before we failed with EINVAL if a too large tag depth was specified, now we truncate it and pass back the actual value. From me. - Various blk-mq rq init fixes from me and others. - A fix for enter on a dying queue for blk-mq from Keith. This is needed to prevent oopsing on hot device removal. - Fixup for blk-mq timer addition from Ming Lei. - Small round of performance fixes for mtip32xx from Sam Bradshaw. - Minor stack leak fix from Rickard Strandqvist. - Two __init annotations from Fabian Frederick" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: block: add __init to blkcg_policy_register block: add __init to elv_register block: ensure that bio_add_page() always accepts a page for an empty bio blk-mq: add timer in blk_mq_start_request blk-mq: always initialize request->start_time block: blk-exec.c: Cleaning up local variable address returnd mtip32xx: minor performance enhancements blk-mq: ->timeout should be cleared in blk_mq_rq_ctx_init() blk-mq: don't allow queue entering for a dying queue blk-mq: bump max tag depth to 10K tags block: add blk_rq_set_block_pc() block: add notion of a chunk size for request merging
2014-06-10block: ensure that bio_add_page() always accepts a page for an empty bioJens Axboe
With commit 762380ad9322 added support for chunk sizes and no merging across them, it broke the rule of always allowing adding of a single page to an empty bio. So relax the restriction a bit to allow for that, similarly to what we have always done. This fixes a crash with mkfs.xfs and 512b sector sizes on NVMe.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: "A lot of activities on cgroup side. Heavy restructuring including locking simplification took place to improve the code base and enable implementation of the unified hierarchy, which currently exists behind a __DEVEL__ mount option. The core support is mostly complete but individual controllers need further work. To explain the design and rationales of the the unified hierarchy Documentation/cgroups/unified-hierarchy.txt is added. Another notable change is css (cgroup_subsys_state - what each controller uses to identify and interact with a cgroup) iteration update. This is part of continuing updates on css object lifetime and visibility. cgroup started with reference count draining on removal way back and is now reaching a point where csses behave and are iterated like normal refcnted objects albeit with some complexities to allow distinguishing the state where they're being deleted. The css iteration update isn't taken advantage of yet but is planned to be used to simplify memcg significantly" * 'for-3.16' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/cgroup: (77 commits) cgroup: disallow disabled controllers on the default hierarchy cgroup: don't destroy the default root cgroup: disallow debug controller on the default hierarchy cgroup: clean up MAINTAINERS entries cgroup: implement css_tryget() device_cgroup: use css_has_online_children() instead of has_children() cgroup: convert cgroup_has_live_children() into css_has_online_children() cgroup: use CSS_ONLINE instead of CGRP_DEAD cgroup: iterate cgroup_subsys_states directly cgroup: introduce CSS_RELEASED and reduce css iteration fallback window cgroup: move cgroup->serial_nr into cgroup_subsys_state cgroup: link all cgroup_subsys_states in their sibling lists cgroup: move cgroup->sibling and ->children into cgroup_subsys_state cgroup: remove cgroup->parent device_cgroup: remove direct access to cgroup->children memcg: update memcg_has_children() to use css_next_child() memcg: remove tasks/children test from mem_cgroup_force_empty() cgroup: remove css_parent() cgroup: skip refcnting on normal root csses and cgrp_dfl_root self css cgroup: use cgroup->self.refcnt for cgroup refcnting ...
2014-06-05block: add notion of a chunk size for request mergingJens Axboe
Some drivers have different limits on what size a request should optimally be, depending on the offset of the request. Similar to dividing a device into chunks. Add a setting that allows the driver to inform the block layer of such a chunk size. The block layer will then prevent merging across the chunks. This is needed to optimally support NVMe with a non-zero stripe size. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@fb.com>
