Asias He c85a1f91b3 virtio-blk: Add REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA support to bio path
We need to support both REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA for bio based path since
it does not get the sequencing of REQ_FUA into REQ_FLUSH that request
based drivers can request.

REQ_FLUSH is emulated by:
A) If the bio has no data to write:
1. Send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device,
2. In the flush I/O completion handler, finish the bio

B) If the bio has data to write:
1. Send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device
2. In the flush I/O completion handler, send the actual write data to device
3. In the write I/O completion handler, finish the bio

REQ_FUA is emulated by:
1. Send the actual write data to device
2. In the write I/O completion handler, send VIRTIO_BLK_T_FLUSH to device
3. In the flush I/O completion handler, finish the bio

Changes in v7:
- Using vbr->flags to trace request type
- Dropped unnecessary struct virtio_blk *vblk parameter
- Reuse struct virtblk_req in bio done function

Cahnges in v6:
- Reworked REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA emulatation order

Asias He a98755c559 virtio-blk: Add bio-based IO path for virtio-blk
This patch introduces bio-based IO path for virtio-blk.

Compared to request-based IO path, bio-based IO path uses driver
provided ->make_request_fn() method to bypasses the IO scheduler. It
handles the bio to device directly without allocating a request in block
layer. This reduces the IO path in guest kernel to achieve high IOPS
and lower latency. The downside is that guest can not use the IO
scheduler to merge and sort requests. However, this is not a big problem
if the backend disk in host side uses faster disk device.

When the bio-based IO path is not enabled, virtio-blk still uses the
original request-based IO path, no performance difference is observed.

Using a slow device e.g. normal SATA disk, the bio-based IO path for
sequential read and write are slower than req-based IO path due to lack
of merge in guest kernel. So we make the bio-based path optional.

Paolo Bonzini cd5d503862 virtio-blk: allow toggling host cache between writeback and writethrough
This patch adds support for the new VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCE feature,
which exposes the cache mode in the configuration space and lets the
driver modify it.  The cache mode is exposed via sysfs.

Even if the host does not support the new feature, the cache mode is
visible (thanks to the existing VIRTIO_BLK_F_WCE), but not modifiable.

Asias He 2c95a32909 virtio-blk: Use block layer provided spinlock
Block layer will allocate a spinlock for the queue if the driver does
not provide one in blk_init_queue().

The reason to use the internal spinlock is that blk_cleanup_queue() will
switch to use the internal spinlock in the cleanup code path.

        if (q->queue_lock != &q->__queue_lock)
                q->queue_lock = &q->__queue_lock;

However, processes which are in D state might have taken the driver
provided spinlock, when the processes wake up, they would release the
block provided spinlock.

=====================================
[ BUG: bad unlock balance detected! ]
3.4.0-rc7+ #238 Not tainted
-------------------------------------
fio/3587 is trying to release lock (&(&q->__queue_lock)->rlock) at:
[<ffffffff813274d2>] blk_queue_bio+0x2a2/0x380
but there are no more locks to release!

other info that might help us debug this:
1 lock held by fio/3587:
 #0:  (&(&vblk->lock)->rlock){......}, at:
[<ffffffff8132661a>] get_request_wait+0x19a/0x250

Other drivers use block layer provided spinlock as well, e.g. SCSI.

Switching to the block layer provided spinlock saves a bit of memory and
does not increase lock contention. Performance test shows no real
difference is observed before and after this patch.

Changes in v2: Improve commit log as Michael suggested.

Asias He 483001c765 virtio-blk: Reset device after blk_cleanup_queue()
blk_cleanup_queue() will call blk_drian_queue() to drain all the
requests before queue DEAD marking. If we reset the device before
blk_cleanup_queue() the drain would fail.

1) if the queue is stopped in do_virtblk_request() because device is
full, the q->request_fn() will not be called.

blk_drain_queue() {
   while(true) {
      ...
      if (!list_empty(&q->queue_head))
        __blk_run_queue(q) {
	    if (queue is not stoped)
		q->request_fn()
	}
      ...
   }
}

Do no reset the device before blk_cleanup_queue() gives the chance to
start the queue in interrupt handler blk_done().

2) In commit b79d866c8b, We abort requests
dispatched to driver before blk_cleanup_queue(). There is a race if
requests are dispatched to driver after the abort and before the queue
DEAD mark. To fix this, instead of aborting the requests explicitly, we
can just reset the device after after blk_cleanup_queue so that the
device can complete all the requests before queue DEAD marking in the
drain process.

Asias He 02e2b12494 virtio-blk: Call del_gendisk() before disable guest kick
del_gendisk() might not return due to failing to remove the
/sys/block/vda/serial sysfs entry when another thread (udev) is
trying to read it.

virtblk_remove()
  vdev->config->reset() : guest will not kick us through interrupt
    del_gendisk()
      device_del()
        kobject_del(): got stuck, sysfs entry ref count non zero

   sysfs_get_active() : got sysfs entry ref count

        virtblk_serial_show()
           blk_execute_rq() : got stuck, interrupt is disabled
                              request cannot be finished

This patch fixes it by calling del_gendisk() before we disable guest's
interrupt so that the request sent in virtblk_serial_show() will be
finished and del_gendisk() will success.

This fixes another race in hot-unplug process.

It is save to call del_gendisk(vblk->disk) before
flush_work(&vblk->config_work) which might access vblk->disk, because
vblk->disk is not freed until put_disk(vblk->disk).

Asias He b79d866c8b virtio-blk: Fix hot-unplug race in remove method
If we reset the virtio-blk device before the requests already dispatched
to the virtio-blk driver from the block layer are finised, we will stuck
in blk_cleanup_queue() and the remove will fail.

blk_cleanup_queue() calls blk_drain_queue() to drain all requests queued
before DEAD marking. However it will never success if the device is
already stopped. We'll have q->in_flight[] > 0, so the drain will not
finish.

How to reproduce the race:
1. hot-plug a virtio-blk device
2. keep reading/writing the device in guest
3. hot-unplug while the device is busy serving I/O

Test:
~1000 rounds of hot-plug/hot-unplug test passed with this patch.

Changes in v3:
- Drop blk_abort_queue and blk_abort_request
- Use __blk_end_request_all to complete request dispatched to driver

Changes in v2:
- Drop req_in_flight
- Use virtqueue_detach_unused_buf to get request dispatched to driver

Linus Torvalds cdd5983063 virtio: fixes on top of 3.4-rc2
Here are some virtio fixes for 3.4:
 a test build fix, a patch by Ren fixing naming for systems with a massive
 number of virtio blk devices, and balloon fixes for powerpc
 by David Gibson.
 
 There was some discussion about Ren's patch for virtio disc naming: some people
 wanted to move the legacy name mangling function to the block core.  But
 there's no concensus on that yet, and we can always deduplicate later.
 Added comments in the hope that this will stop people from
 copying this legacy naming scheme into future drivers.

Ren Mingxin c0aa3e0916 virtio_blk: helper function to format disk names
The current virtio block's naming algorithm just supports 18278
(26^3 + 26^2 + 26) disks. If there are more virtio blocks,
there will be disks with the same name.

Based on commit 3e1a7ff8a0, add
a function "virtblk_name_format()" for virtio block to support mass
of disks naming.

Notes:
- Our naming scheme is ugly. We are stuck with it
  for virtio but don't use it for any new driver:
  new drivers should name their devices PREFIX%d
  where the sequence number can be allocated by ida
- sd_format_disk_name has exactly the same logic.
  Moving it to a central place was deferred over worries
  that this will make people keep using the legacy naming
  in new drivers.
  We kept code idential in case someone wants to deduplicate later.

Vivek Goyal e9986f303d virtio-blk: Call revalidate_disk() upon online disk resize
If a virtio disk is open in guest and a disk resize operation is done,
(virsh blockresize), new size is not visible to tools like "fdisk -l".
This seems to be happening as we update only part->nr_sects and not
bdev->bd_inode size.

Call revalidate_disk() which should take care of it. I tested growing disk
size of already open disk and it works for me.

Michael S. Tsirkin 4678d6f970 virtio_blk: fix config handler race
Fix a theoretical race related to config work
handler: a config interrupt might happen
after we flush config work but before we
reset the device. It will then cause the
config work to run during or after reset.

Two problems with this:
- if this runs after device is gone we will get use after free
- access of config while reset is in progress is racy
(as layout is changing).

As a solution
1. flush after reset when we know there will be no more interrupts
2. add a flag to disable config access before reset

requests.  Deprecate barrier.  All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().

blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA.  If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH.  If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.

All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.

* ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH.
* ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

Create a new attribute for virtio-blk devices that will fetch the serial number
of the block device.  This attribute can be used by udev to create disk/by-id
symlinks for devices that don't have a UUID (filesystem) associated with them.

ATA_IDENTIFY strings are special in that they can be up to 20 chars long
and aren't required to be nul-terminated.  The buffer is also zero-padded
meaning that if the serial is 19 chars or less that we get a nul-terminated
string.  When copying this value into a string buffer, we must be careful to
copy up to the nul (if it present) and only 20 if it is longer and not to
attempt to nul terminate; this isn't needed.

Changes since v1:
- Added BUILD_BUG_ON() for PAGE_SIZE check
- Removed min() since BUILD_BUG_ON() handles the check
- Replaced serial_sysfs() by copying id directly to buffer

If we want to support barriers with the cache=writethrough mode in qemu
we need to tell the block layer that we only need queue drains to
implement a barrier.  Follow the model set by SCSI and IDE and assume
that there is no volatile write cache if the host doesn't advertize it.
While this might imply working barriers on old qemu versions or other
hypervisors that actually have a volatile write cache this is only a
cosmetic issue - these hypervisors don't guarantee any data integrity
with or without this patch, but with the patch we at least provide

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Christian Borntraeger e95646c3ec virtio: let header files include virtio_ids.h
Rusty,

commit 3ca4f5ca73
    virtio: add virtio IDs file
moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is
a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example
if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to
include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h
does not include virtio_ids.h.
This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C
files into the header files, making the header files compatible with
the old ones.

In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

Christoph Hellwig f8b12e513b virtio_blk: revert QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT addition
It seems like the addition of QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT caueses major performance
regressions for Fedora users:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509383
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505695

while I can't reproduce those extreme regressions myself I think the flag
is wrong.

Rationale:

  QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT expands to QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT which casus the queue
  unplugged immediately.  This is not a good behaviour for at least
  qemu and kvm where we do have significant overhead for every
  I/O operations.  Even with all the latested speeups (native AIO,
  MSI support, zero copy) we can only get native speed for up to 128kb
  I/O requests we already are down to 66% of native performance for 4kb
  requests even on my laptop running the Intel X25-M SSD for which the
  QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT was designed.
  If we ever get virtio-blk overhead low enough that this flag makes
  sense it should only be set based on a feature flag set by the host.

Tejun Heo 9934c8c045 block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch
Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request().  After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing.  Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.

Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary.  However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing.  Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.

Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model.  This patch completes the API transition by...

* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()

* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()

* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start

* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests

* applying new API to all LLDs

Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

[ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with

This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
and fully completes the request.  BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
this actually happens.

Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.

* cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
  __blk_end_request_all().

* s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to

Rusty Russell 0864b79a15 virtio: block: dynamic maximum segments
Enhance the driver to handle whatever maximum segment number the host
tells us to handle.  Do to this, we need to allocate the scatterlist
dynamically.

We set max_phys_segments and max_hw_segments to the same value (1 if
the host doesn't tell us, since that's safest and all known hosts do
tell us).

Note that kmalloc'ing the structure for large sg_elems might be
problematic: the fix for this is sg_table, but that requires more
work.

Al Viro d4430d62fa [PATCH] beginning of methods conversion
To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.

Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

New methods:
	open(bdev, mode)
	release(disk, mode)
	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */
	compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
	locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)	/* Called with BKL, legacy */

Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao 766ca4428d virtio_blk: use a wrapper function to access io context information of IO requests
struct request has an ioprio member but it is never updated because
currently bios do not hold io context information. The implication of
this is that virtio_blk ends up passing useless information to the
backend driver.

That said, some IO schedulers such as CFQ do store io context
information in struct request, but use private members for that, which
means that that information cannot be directly accessed in a IO
scheduler-independent way.

This patch adds a function to obtain the ioprio of a request. We should
avoid accessing ioprio directly and use this function instead, so that
its users do not have to care about future changes in block layer
structures or what the currently active IO controller is.

This patch does not introduce any functional changes but paves the way
for future clean-ups and enhancements.

Currently virtio_blk assumes a 512 byte hard sector size. This can cause

Rusty Russell c45a6816c1 virtio: explicit advertisement of driver features
A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.

There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
didn't notice when it was violated.

So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
core.  The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.

Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.

Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
really have to.

API changes:
- dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
- drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
- use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits

Rusty Russell 72e61eb40b virtio: change config to guest endian.
A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API, in particular how easy it is to break big
endian machines.

The virtio config space was originally chosen to be little-endian,
because we thought the config might be part of the PCI config space
for virtio_pci.  It's actually a separate mmio region, so that
argument holds little water; as only x86 is currently using the virtio
mechanism, we can change this (but must do so now, before the
impending s390 merge).

API changes:
- __virtio_config_val() just becomes a striaght vdev->config_get() call.

This patch goes on top of the minor number patch. Please let me know if
you want a merged patch:

Currently virtio_blk creates the disk name combinging "vd"  with 'a'++.
This will give strange names after vdz. I have implemented names up to
vdzzz - inspired by the sd.c code. That should be sufficient for now.

There is one driver in the kernel (driver/s390/block/dasd_genhd.c) that
implements names from dasda-dasdzzzz allowing even more disks. Maybe
a janitor can come up with a common implementation usable for all kind
of block device drivers.

I have tested this patch with 100 disks - seems to work.

Rusty,

currently virtio_blk uses one major number per device. While this works
quite well on most systems it is wasteful and will exhaust major numbers
on larger installations.

This patch allocates a major number on init and will use 16 minor numbers
for each disk. That will allow ~64k virtio_blk disks.

I currently try to make my guest boot from an virtio root device

expect HDIO_GETGEO to work. The most interesting value is likely
the geo.start value to get the offset of a partition. This value
is filled by block/ioctl.c if fops->getgeo is set. This patch also
fills in some standard values for heads, sectors and cylinders.

Rusty Russell 6e5aa7efb2 virtio: reset function
A reset function solves three problems:

1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
   guest driver without rebooting the guest.

2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
   we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and

3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.

So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
feature bits is via reset.

We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
remove function.

Rusty Russell e467cde238 Block driver using virtio.
The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the
request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector
and inbuf id.  The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last
sg is the status byte.  Whether the N entries are in or out depends on
whether it's a read or a write.

We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other
side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported.  It's
not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know
if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir().

Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd,
CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace.  This needs a separate
patch.
