Subject: [PATCH v3 00/11] simplify block layer based on immutable biovecs

v3:
- rebase on top of 4.1-rc2
- support for QUEUE_FLAG_SG_GAPS
- update commit logs of patch 2&4
- split bio for chunk_aligned_read

v2: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/4/28/28
v1: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/12/22/128

This is the 3rd attempt of simplifying block layer based on immutable
biovecs. Immutable biovecs, implemented by Kent Overstreet, have been
available in mainline since v3.14. Its original goal was actually making
generic_make_request() accept arbitrarily sized bios, and pushing the
splitting down to the drivers or wherever it's required. See also
discussions in the past, [1] [2] [3].

This will bring not only performance improvements, but also a great amount
of reduction in code complexity all over the block layer. Performance gain
is possible due to the fact that bio_add_page() does not have to check
unnecesary conditions such as queue limits or if biovecs are mergeable.
Those will be delegated to the driver level. Kent already said that he
actually benchmarked the impact of this with fio on a micron p320h, which
showed definitely a positive impact.

Moreover, this patchset also allows a lot of code to be deleted, mainly
because of removal of merge_bvec_fn() callbacks. We have been aware that
it has been always a delicate issue for stacking block drivers (e.g. md
and bcache) to handle merging bio consistently. This simplication will
help every individual block driver avoid having such an issue.

Patches are against 4.1-rc1. These are also available in my git repo at:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/mlin/linux.git/log/?h=block-generic-req

This patchset is a prerequisite of other consecutive patchsets, e.g.
multipage biovecs, rewriting plugging, or rewriting direct-IO, which are
excluded this time. That means, this patchset should not bring any
regression to end-users.

Comments are welcome.

Subject: [PATCH v3 01/11] block: make generic_make_request handle arbitrarily sized bios

From: Kent Overstreet <[email protected]>

The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths
to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page())
checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create
bios that don't need to be split.

But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with
stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of
complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could
eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked
drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are
convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with
both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the
(potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will
let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code.

We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various
make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary
size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to
blk_queue_bounce(); this means that blk_queue_split() and
blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be concerned with bouncing
affecting segment merging.

Some make_request_fn() callbacks were simple enough to audit and verify
they don't need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are:

* nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c)
* axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c)
* simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c)
* brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c)
* mtip_submit_request (drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c)
* loop_make_request
* null_queue_bio
* bcache's make_request fns

Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left
for future patches.

Subject: [PATCH v3 02/11] block: simplify bio_add_page()

From: Kent Overstreet <[email protected]>

Since generic_make_request() can now handle arbitrary size bios, all we
have to do is make sure the bvec array doesn't overflow.
__bio_add_page() doesn't need to call ->merge_bvec_fn(), where
we can get rid of unnecessary code paths.

Removing the call to ->merge_bvec_fn() is also fine, as no driver that
implements support for BLOCK_PC commands even has a ->merge_bvec_fn()
method.

Subject: [PATCH v3 03/11] block: allow __blk_queue_bounce() to handle bios larger than BIO_MAX_PAGES

From: Kent Overstreet <[email protected]>

Allow __blk_queue_bounce() to handle bios with more than BIO_MAX_PAGES
segments. Doing that, it becomes possible to simplify the block layer
in the kernel.

The issue is that any code that clones the bio and must clone the biovec
(i.e. it can't use bio_clone_fast()) won't be able to allocate a bio with
more than BIO_MAX_PAGES - bio_alloc_bioset() always fails in that case.

Fortunately, it's easy to make __blk_queue_bounce() just process part of
the bio if necessary, using bi_remaining to count the splits and punting
the rest back to generic_make_request().

Subject: [PATCH v3 05/11] btrfs: remove bio splitting and merge_bvec_fn() calls

From: Kent Overstreet <[email protected]>

Btrfs has been doing bio splitting from btrfs_map_bio(), by checking
device limits as well as calling ->merge_bvec_fn() etc. That is not
necessary any more, because generic_make_request() is now able to
handle arbitrarily sized bios. So clean up unnecessary code paths.

Subject: [PATCH v3 07/11] md/raid5: split bio for chunk_aligned_read

If a read request fits entirely in a chunk, it will be passed directly to the
underlying device (providing it hasn't failed of course). If it doesn't fit,
the slightly less efficient path that uses the stripe_cache is used.
Requests that get to the stripe cache are always completely split up as
necessary.

So with RAID5, ripping out the merge_bvec_fn doesn't cause it to stop work,
but could cause it to take the less efficient path more often.

All that is needed to manage this is for 'chunk_aligned_read' do some bio
splitting, much like the RAID0 code does.

Subject: [PATCH v3 09/11] fs: use helper bio_add_page() instead of open coding on bi_io_vec

From: Kent Overstreet <[email protected]>

Call pre-defined helper bio_add_page() instead of open coding for
iterating through bi_io_vec[]. Doing that, it's possible to make some
parts in filesystems and mm/page_io.c simpler than before.

RAID5 doesn't currently allow non-power-of-2 chunks. So this test is
pointless, but not really harmful. Maybe someday we will.

I'm equally happy for it to stay or go.

Subject: [PATCH 07/11] md/raid5: split bio for chunk_aligned_read

If a read request fits entirely in a chunk, it will be passed directly to the
underlying device (providing it hasn't failed of course). If it doesn't fit,
the slightly less efficient path that uses the stripe_cache is used.
Requests that get to the stripe cache are always completely split up as
necessary.

So with RAID5, ripping out the merge_bvec_fn doesn't cause it to stop work,
but could cause it to take the less efficient path more often.

All that is needed to manage this is for 'chunk_aligned_read' do some bio
splitting, much like the RAID0 code does.

I like this conceptually, so if we could get it into further testing
that would be useful. Jens, are you fine with the general approach?
If yes I'll try to spend some more ressources on getting it ready.

Much of this function is cut-n-paste from blk-lib.c. Is there any way
to factor it out?

Funny name for a function that also merges segments. ;-) I admit I am
at a loss for coming up with a better name that won't overflow 80
columns.

Other than that, this looks sane.

The code in blk-lib.c can go away now that any driver that cares
does the split.

I'd keep the name and add a funny comment instead.

I can't see why we'd need this patch in the series. This seems to be
from Kents work to allow largers bios and just have slipped in here.

Seems reasonable. I've queued it. Should appear in -next in a few days.

This needs the patch below for the blk-mq case with multiple queues.

Also I wonder why we really want to push this below ->make_request.
Moving it just outside ->make_request would make the callchain more
obvious and avoid the recursion into the driver.

Passes test fine for me so far. You might also want to throw in the

Are you saying move the split to generic_make_request()?
Below is an off-list discussion.

Kent,

Is there specific reason to choose number 4?
If no, I may change it to BIO_POOL_SIZE which is 2.

Here's what he had to say last time around:

It just has to be nonzero to guarantee forward progress - the
bio_alloc_bioset() rescuer thing I did awhile back guarantees that.
