Subject: [PATCH block#for-2.6.31] block: add request clone interface
Hi Jens,
Recently, I posted an updated version of request-based dm patch-set
(http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=124392590507004&w=2) which was made
on top of block#for-2.6.31.
In block#for-2.6.31, __sector and __data_len of struct request are
commented as 'internal, NEVER access directly'.
However, since request-based dm needs to copy the latest status of
the original request to clone, those fields are still accessed
directly in the request-based dm patch-set.
I'd like to solve this issue without breaking the new block-layer policy.
If those fields should not be accessed directly, I need a helper
function to copy the original request.
What do you think about the following patch which adds request cloning
interface to the block-layer?
Please apply if you have no problem.
This patch adds the following 2 interfaces for request-stacking drivers:
- blk_rq_prep_clone(struct request *clone, struct request *orig,
struct bio_set *bs, gfp_t gfp_mask,
int (*bio_ctr)(struct bio *, struct bio*, void *),
void *data)
* Clones bios in the original request to the clone request
(bio_ctr is called for each cloned bios.)
* Copies the clone-related information of the original request
to the clone request.
- blk_rq_unprep_clone(struct request *clone)
* Frees cloned bios from the clone request.
Request stacking drivers (e.g. request-based dm) need to make a clone
request for a submitted request and dispatch it to other devices.
To allocate request for the clone, request stacking drivers may not
be able to use blk_get_request() because the allocation may be done
in an irq-disabled context.
So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a request allocated by the caller
as an argument.
For each clone bio in the clone request, request stacking drivers
should be able to set up their own completion handler.
So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a callback function which is called
for each clone bio, and a pointer for private data which is passed
to the callback.
