When merging one bio to request, if they are discard IO and the queue
supports multi-range discard, we need to return ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE
because both block core and related drivers(nvme, virtio-blk) doesn't
handle mixed discard io merge(traditional IO merge together with
discard merge) well.
Fix the issue by returning ELEVATOR_DISCARD_MERGE in this situation,
so both blk-mq and drivers just need to handle multi-range discard.

ll_new_hw_segment() is reached only in case of single range discard
merge, and we don't have max discard segment size limit actually, so
it is wrong to run the following check:
if (req->nr_phys_segments + nr_phys_segs > blk_rq_get_max_segments(req))
it may be always false since req->nr_phys_segments is initialized as
one, and bio's segment count is still 1, blk_rq_get_max_segments(reg)
is 1 too.
Fix the issue by not doing the check and bypassing the calculation of
discard request's nr_phys_segments.

When a stacked block device inserts a request into another block device
using blk_insert_cloned_request, the request's nr_phys_segments field gets
recalculated by a call to blk_recalc_rq_segments in
blk_cloned_rq_check_limits. But blk_recalc_rq_segments does not know how to
handle multi-segment discards. For disk types which can handle
multi-segment discards like nvme, this results in discard requests which
claim a single segment when it should report several, triggering a warning
in nvme and causing nvme to fail the discard from the invalid state.

iopoll is initially for small size, latency sensitive IO. It doesn't
work well for big IO, especially when it needs to be split to multiple
bios. In this case, the returned cookie of __submit_bio_noacct_mq() is
indeed the cookie of the last split bio. The completion of *this* last
split bio done by iopoll doesn't mean the whole original bio has
completed. Callers of iopoll still need to wait for completion of other
split bios.
Besides bio splitting may cause more trouble for iopoll which isn't
supposed to be used in case of big IO.
iopoll for split bio may cause potential race if CPU migration happens
during bio submission. Since the returned cookie is that of the last
split bio, polling on the corresponding hardware queue doesn't help
complete other split bios, if these split bios are enqueued into
different hardware queues. Since interrupts are disabled for polling
queues, the completion of these other split bios depends on timeout
mechanism, thus causing a potential hang.
iopoll for split bio may also cause hang for sync polling. Currently
both the blkdev and iomap-based fs (ext4/xfs, etc) support sync polling
in direct IO routine. These routines will submit bio without REQ_NOWAIT
flag set, and then start sync polling in current process context. The
process may hang in blk_mq_get_tag() if the submitted bio has to be
split into multiple bios and can rapidly exhaust the queue depth. The
process are waiting for the completion of the previously allocated
requests, which should be reaped by the following polling, and thus
causing a deadlock.
To avoid these subtle trouble described above, just disable iopoll for
split bio and return BLK_QC_T_NONE in this case. The side effect is that
non-HIPRI IO also returns BLK_QC_T_NONE now. It should be acceptable
since the returned cookie is never used for non-HIPRI IO.

Commit 882ec4e609 ("dm table: stack 'chunk_sectors' limit to account
for target-specific splitting") caused a couple regressions:
1) Using lcm_not_zero() when stacking chunk_sectors was a bug because
chunk_sectors must reflect the most limited of all devices in the
IO stack.
2) DM targets that set max_io_len but that do _not_ provide an
.iterate_devices method no longer had there IO split properly.
And commit 5091cdec56 ("dm: change max_io_len() to use
blk_max_size_offset()") also caused a regression where DM no longer
supported varied (per target) IO splitting. The implication being the
potential for severely reduced performance for IO stacks that use a DM
target like dm-cache to hide performance limitations of a slower
device (e.g. one that requires 4K IO splitting).
Coming full circle: Fix all these issues by discontinuing stacking
chunk_sectors up using ti->max_io_len in dm_calculate_queue_limits(),
add optional chunk_sectors override argument to blk_max_size_offset()
and update DM's max_io_len() to pass ti->max_io_len to its
blk_max_size_offset() call.
Passing in an optional chunk_sectors override to blk_max_size_offset()
allows for code reuse of block's centralized calculation for max IO
size based on provided offset and split boundary.

We must have some way of letting a storage device driver know what
encryption context it should use for en/decrypting a request. However,
it's the upper layers (like the filesystem/fscrypt) that know about and
manages encryption contexts. As such, when the upper layer submits a bio
to the block layer, and this bio eventually reaches a device driver with
support for inline encryption, the device driver will need to have been
told the encryption context for that bio.
We want to communicate the encryption context from the upper layer to the
storage device along with the bio, when the bio is submitted to the block
layer. To do this, we add a struct bio_crypt_ctx to struct bio, which can
represent an encryption context (note that we can't use the bi_private
field in struct bio to do this because that field does not function to pass
information across layers in the storage stack). We also introduce various
functions to manipulate the bio_crypt_ctx and make the bio/request merging
logic aware of the bio_crypt_ctx.
We also make changes to blk-mq to make it handle bios with encryption
contexts. blk-mq can merge many bios into the same request. These bios need
to have contiguous data unit numbers (the necessary changes to blk-merge
are also made to ensure this) - as such, it suffices to keep the data unit
number of just the first bio, since that's all a storage driver needs to
infer the data unit number to use for each data block in each bio in a
request. blk-mq keeps track of the encryption context to be used for all
the bios in a request with the request's rq_crypt_ctx. When the first bio
is added to an empty request, blk-mq will program the encryption context
of that bio into the request_queue's keyslot manager, and store the
returned keyslot in the request's rq_crypt_ctx. All the functions to
operate on encryption contexts are in blk-crypto.c.
Upper layers only need to call bio_crypt_set_ctx with the encryption key,
algorithm and data_unit_num; they don't have to worry about getting a
keyslot for each encryption context, as blk-mq/blk-crypto handles that.
Blk-crypto also makes it possible for request-based layered devices like
dm-rq to make use of inline encryption hardware by cloning the

Commit 429120f3df starts to take account of segment's start dma address

the figured out segment size may be overflowed in case of zero physical
address on 32bit arch.
Fix the issue by returning queue_max_segment_size() directly when that

We ran into a problem with a mpt3sas based controller, where we would
see random (and hard to reproduce) file corruption). The issue seemed
specific to this controller, but wasn't specific to the file system.
After a lot of debugging, we find out that it's caused by segments
spanning a 4G memory boundary. This shouldn't happen, as the default
setting for segment boundary masks is 4G.
Turns out there are two issues in get_max_segment_size():
1) The default segment boundary mask is bypassed
2) The segment start address isn't taken into account when checking
segment boundary limit
Fix these two issues by removing the bypass of the segment boundary
check even if the mask is set to the default value, and taking into
account the actual start address of the request when checking if a
segment needs splitting.

Consider the following example:
* The logical block size is 4 KB.
* The physical block size is 8 KB.
* max_sectors equals (16 KB >> 9) sectors.
* A non-aligned 4 KB and an aligned 64 KB bio are merged into a single
non-aligned 68 KB bio.
The current behavior is to split such a bio into (16 KB + 16 KB + 16 KB
+ 16 KB + 4 KB). The start of none of these five bio's is aligned to a
physical block boundary.
This patch ensures that such a bio is split into four aligned and
one non-aligned bio instead of being split into five non-aligned bios.
This improves performance because most block devices can handle aligned
requests faster than non-aligned requests.
Since the physical block size is larger than or equal to the logical
block size, this patch preserves the guarantee that the returned
value is a multiple of the logical block size.

Currently ll_merge_requests_fn, unlike all other merge functions,
reduces nr_phys_segments by one if the last segment of the previous,
and the first segment of the next segement are contigous. While this
seems like a nice solution to avoid building smaller than possible
requests it causes a mismatch between the segments actually present
in the request and those iterated over by the bvec iterators, including
__rq_for_each_bio. This can for example mistrigger the single segment
optimization in the nvme-pci driver, and might lead to mismatching
nr_phys_segments number when recalculating the number of request
when inserting a cloned request.
We could possibly work around this by making the bvec iterators take
the front and back segment size into account, but that would require
moving them from the bio to the bio_iter and spreading this mess
over all users of bvecs. Or we could simply remove this optimization
under the assumption that most users already build good enough bvecs,
and that the bio merge patch never cared about this optimization
either. The latter is what this patch does.

Now only blk_recount_segments() and blk_recalc_rq_segments() use this

Basically blk_recount_segments() is bypassed in fast path given BIO_SEG_VALID

For another user of blk_recalc_rq_segments():
- run in partial completion branch of blk_update_request, which is an unusual case
- run in blk_cloned_rq_check_limits(), still not a big problem if the flag is killed

time_in_queue can be calculated without part_round_stats, by adding the

io_ticks can be approximated by increasing the value when I/O is started

Growing in size a high priority request by merging it with a lower
priority BIO or request will increase the request execution time. This
is the opposite result of the desired effect of high I/O priorities,
namely getting low I/O latencies. Prevent merging of requests and BIOs
that have different I/O priorities to fix this.

With drivers that are settting a virtual boundary constrain, we are
seeing a lot of bio splitting and smaller I/Os being submitted to the

This happens because the bio gap detection code does not account cases
where PAGE_SIZE - 1 is bigger than queue_virt_boundary() and thus will
split the bio unnecessarily.

There are two cases when handle DISCARD merge.
If max_discard_segments == 1, the bios/requests need to be contiguous
to merge. If max_discard_segments > 1, it takes every bio as a range
and different range needn't to be contiguous.
But now, attempt_merge screws this up. It always consider contiguity
for DISCARD for the case max_discard_segments > 1 and cannot merge
contiguous DISCARD for the case max_discard_segments == 1, because
rq_attempt_discard_merge always returns false in this case.

can block forever in blk_queue_enter() waiting for the reference

Mark a split bio as already having entered the queue, so we can

print_req_error: I/O error, dev nvme0n1, sector 847167488
Decoding the assembly, the request claims to have 0xffff segments,
while nvme counts two. This turns out to be because we don't check
for a data carrying request on the mq scheduler path, and since
blk_phys_contig_segment() returns true for a non-data request,
we decrement the initial segment count of 0 and end up with
0xffff in the unsigned short.
There are a few issues here:
1) We should initialize the segment count for a discard to 1.
2) The discard merging is currently using the data limits for
segments and sectors.
Fix this up by having attempt_merge() correctly identify the
request, and by initializing the segment count correctly
for discards.
This can only be triggered with mq-deadline on discard capable
devices right now, which isn't a common configuration.

When merging one bvec into segment, if the bvec is too big
to merge, current policy is to move the whole bvec into another
new segment.
This patchset changes the policy into trying to maximize size of
front segments, that means in above situation, part of bvec
is merged into current segment, and the remainder is put
into next segment.
This patch prepares for support multipage bvec because
it can be quite common to see this case and we should try
to make front segments in full size.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
