Subject: [GIT PULL] block IO core bits for 3.13
Hi Linus,
This is the pull request for the core changes in the block layer for
3.13. It contains:
- The new blk-mq request interface. This is a new and more scalable
queueing model that marries the best part of the request based
interface we currently have (which is fully featured, but scales
poorly) and the bio based "interface" which the new drivers for high
IOPS devices end up using because it's much faster than the request
based one. The bio interface has no block layer support, since it taps
into the stack much earlier. This means that drivers end up having to
implement a lot of functionality on their own, like tagging, timeout
handling, requeue, etc. The blk-mq interface provides all these. Some
drivers even provide a switch to select bio or rq and has code to
handle both, since things like merging only works in the rq model and
hence is faster for some workloads. This is a huge mess. Conversion of
these drivers nets us a substantial code reduction. Initial results on
converting SCSI to this model even shows an 8x improvement on single
queue devices. So while the model was intended to work on the newer
multiqueue devices, it has substantial improvements for "classic"
hardware as well. This code has gone through extensive testing and
development, it's now ready to go. A pull request is coming to convert
virtio-blk to this model will be will be coming as well, with more
drivers scheduled for 3.14 conversion.
- Two blktrace fixes from Jan and Chen Gang.
- A plug merge fix from Alireza Haghdoost.
- Conversion of __get_cpu_var() from Christoph Lameter.
- Fix for sector_div() with 64-bit divider from Geert Uytterhoeven.
- A fix for a race between request completion and the timeout handling
from Jeff Moyer. This is what caused the merge conflict with
blk-mq/core, in case you are looking at that.
- A dm stacking fix from Mike Snitzer.
- A code consolidation fix and duplicated code removal from Kent
Overstreet.
- A handful of block bug fixes from Mikulas Patocka, fixing a loop crash
and memory corruption on blk cg.
- Elevator switch bug fix from Tomoki Sekiyama.
A heads-up that I had to rebase this branch. Initially the immutable
bio_vecs had been queued up for inclusion, but a week later, it became
clear that it wasn't fully cooked yet. So the decision was made to pull
this out and postpone it until 3.14. It was a straight forward rebase,
just pruning out the immutable series and the later fixes of problems
with it. The rest of the patches applied directly and no further changes
were made.
Please pull!
