Commit Message

Ming Lei Nov. 21, 2018, 3:23 a.m. UTC
We will enable multi-page bvec soon, but non-cluster queue can't
handle the multi-page bvec at all. This patch borrows bounce's
idea to clone new single-page bio for non-cluster queue, and moves
its handling out of blk_bio_segment_split().

Do we really need a new source file for these few functions?

I'd name this blk_bio_segment_split_singlepage or similar.

Please only allocate the resources once a queue without the cluster
flag is registered, there are only very few modern drivers that do that.

Why can't we use bio_chain for the split bios?

The easy to read way would be:

	bio_for_each_segment(from, *bio_orig, iter) {
		if (i++ == max_segs)
			break;
		sectors += from.bv_len >> 9;
	}

I don't think this is very efficient, as this means we now
clone the bio twice, first to split it at the sector boundary,
and then again when converting it to single-page bio_vec.

I think this could be something like this (totally untested):

The parent bio is multi-page bvec, we can't submit it for non-cluster.

That is exactly what bounce code does. The problem for both bounce
and non-cluster is same actually because the bvec table itself has
to be changed.

bio_segments(*bio_orig) may be > 256, so bio_alloc_bioset() may fail.

Nothing a little min with BIO_MAX_PAGES couldn't fix.  This patch
was just intended as an idea how I think this code could work.
Christoph Hellwig Nov. 21, 2018, 5:46 p.m. UTC | #4
Actually..

I think we can kill this code entirely.  If we look at what the
clustering setting is really about it is to avoid ever merging a
segement that spans a page boundary.  And we should be able to do
that with something like this before your series:

Subject: block: remove the "cluster" flag

The cluster flag implements some very old SCSI behavior.  As far as I
can tell the original intent was to enable or disable any kind of
segment merging.  But the actually visible effect to the LLDD is that
it limits each segments to be inside a single page, which we can
also affect by setting the maximum segment size and the virt
boundary.

This approach is pretty good given we can do post-split during mapping
sg.

However, using virt boundary limit on non-cluster seems over-kill,
because the bio will be over-split(each small bvec may be split as one bio)
if it includes lots of small segment.

What we want to do is just to avoid to merge bvecs to segment, which
should have been done by NO_SG_MERGE simply. However, after multi-page
is enabled, two adjacent bvecs won't be merged any more, I just forget
to remove the bvec merge code in V11.

So seems we can simply avoid to use virt boundary limit for non-cluster
after multipage bvec is enabled?


thanks,
Ming

The combination of the virt boundary of PAGE_SIZE - 1 and a
max_segment_size of PAGE_SIZE will only split if the to me merged
segment is in a different page than the previous one, which is exactly
what we need here.  Multiple small bvec inside the same page (e.g.
512 byte buffer_heads) will still be merged.

No, we can't just remove it.  As explained in the patch there is one very
visible difference of setting the flag amd that is no segment will span a
page boundary, and at least the iSCSI code seems to rely on that.

Suppose one bio includes (pg0, 0, 512) and (pg1, 512, 512):

The split is introduced by the following code in blk_bio_segment_split():

      if (bvprvp && bvec_gap_to_prev(q, bvprvp, bv.bv_offset))
		  	goto split;

Without this patch, for non-cluster, the two bvecs are just in different
segment, but still handled by one same bio. Now you convert into two bios.

Thanks,
Ming

IMO, we should use queue_segment_boundary() to enhance the rule during splitting
segment after multi-page bvec is enabled.

Seems we miss the segment boundary limit in bvec_split_segs().

Thanks,

Oh, true - we create new bios instead of new segments.  So I guess we
need to do something special here if we don't want to pay that overhead.

Or just look into killing the cluster setting..

Yes, that looks like the right fix!

Then your patch should work by just replacing virt boundary with segment
boudary limit. I will do that change in V12 if you don't object.


Thanks,
