Shaohua> (and very helpful for raid),
Before RAID support there really wasn't much point. That's one of the
reasons the current discard merge code has survived despite being
completely broken.
As for how I'd like to handle contiguous discard merges going forward
here's a proof of concept. It's on top of my write same tree so you may
have to noodle a bit.
It is crucially important that we never merge a command that can't be
processed by the device. So I'd like to do something like this:
block: Consolidate command flag and queue limit checks for merges
- blk_check_merge_flags() verifies that cmd_flags / bi_rw are
compatible. This function is called for both req-req and req-bio
merging.
- blk_rq_get_max_sectors() and blk_queue_get_max_sectors() can be used
to query the maximum sector count for a given request or queue. The
calls will return the right value from the queue limits given the
type of command (RW, discard, write same, etc.)
