Series block: Introduce REQ_NOZERO flag for REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operation | expand

Commit Message

Kirill Tkhai Jan. 16, 2020, 12:36 p.m. UTC
This adds support for REQ_NOZERO extension of REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES
operation, which encourages a block device driver to just allocate
blocks (or mark them allocated) instead of actual blocks zeroing.
REQ_NOZERO is aimed to be used for network filesystems providing
a block device interface. Also, block devices, which map a file
on other filesystem (like loop), may use this for less fragmentation
and batching fallocate() requests. Hypervisors like QEMU may
introduce optimizations of clusters allocations based on this.

BLKDEV_ZERO_ALLOCATE is a new corresponding flag for
blkdev_issue_zeroout().

I'd suggest split this to a separated patch.

And this one.
Also, should we consider other code path used q->limits.max_write_zeroes_sectors?

Yeah, this function is used in [3/3] only, so in may go after this patch [2/3] as a separate patch.

It looks it won't be good, since this will require to declare REQ_NOZERO
in a separate patch. This will tear off the flag declaration from the logic.

> Also, should we consider other code path used q->limits.max_write_zeroes_sectors?

Other code paths should not dereference q->limits.max_allocate_sectors, unless
it is directly set in not-zero value. In case of max_allocate_sectors is zero,
high-level primitives (generic_make_request_checks(), __blkdev_issue_write_zeroes(), ..)
complete such the bios immediately. Other drivers may need additional work
to support this, and really only subset of drivers need support of this, so this is
not a subject of this patchset.

Hm, it looks like there is an exception, which may inherit stack limits from children.
Device-mapper will pick all the limits we enable for children.
We may disable REQ_WRITE_ZEROES|REQ_NOZERO directly there, since it's not supported
in this driver yet.

Are you hinting at this here?

Oh, I mean other place references q->limits.max_write_zeroes_sectors.
Like in drivers/md/dm-io.c:
		special_cmd_max_sectors = q->limits.max_write_zeroes_sectors;

Now there should use blk_queue_get_max_write_zeroes_sectors() instead of use
q->limits.max_write_zeroes_sectors directly?

If yes, then I think codes related with function blk_queue_get_max_write_zeroes_sectors() should
also be split to separated patch.

I find there is some dissonance between using BLKDEV_ZERO_ALLOCATE to
describe this operation in one case and REQ_NOZERO in the other.

I understand why not zeroing is important in your case. However, I think
the allocation aspect is semantically more important. Also, in the case
of SCSI, the allocated blocks will typically appear zeroed. So from that
perspective REQ_NOZERO doesn't really make sense. I would really prefer
to use REQ_ALLOCATE to describe this operation. I agree that "do not
write every block" is important too. I just don't have a good suggestion
for how to express that as an additional qualifier to REQ_ALLOCATE_?.

Also, adding to the confusion: In the context of SCSI, ANCHOR requires
UNMAP. So my head hurts a bit when I read REQ_NOZERO|REQ_NOUNMAP and
have to translate that into ANCHOR|UNMAP.

Longer term, I think we should consider introducing REQ_OP_SINGLE_RANGE
or something like that as an umbrella operation that can be used to
describe zeroing, allocating, and other things that operate on a single
LBA range with no payload. Thus removing both the writiness and the
zeroness from the existing REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES conduit.

Naming issues aside, your patch looks fine. I'll try to rebase my SCSI
patches on top of your series to see how things fit.

For dm I don't think so. This primitive is for code simplifying, while
there it won't solve any readability problems. It will be only byte swapping
before real introduction of allocation support for dm. We will use the primitive
for places, which support both plain "write zeroes" and "write zeroes allocates",
while it is not need for other places.

No problem, I'll rename the modifier.

Agreed.  Nevermind the problem of a REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES operations with
a NOZERO flag causing a massive confusion to the reader.

What is the benefit of a multipler there?  Given all this flags
confusion I'm almost tempted to just split up REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES into
REQ_OP_ALLOCATE ("cheap") and REQ_OP_WRITE_ZEROES ("potentially
expensive") and just let the caller handle the difference.  Everytime
we try to encode semantic differences into flags we're eventually
running into trouble.  Sais the person that added REQ_UNMAP..

We started from separated REQ_OP_ASSIGN_RANGE in v1, but then we decided
to use a modifier because this looks better and scatters less over
I/O stack. See "[PATCH RFC 0/3] block,ext4: Introduce REQ_OP_ASSIGN_RANGE
to reflect extents allocation in block device internals" series for the details.
(https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/7/1616 and neighbouring messages).

Last version of the patchset is v5 and it's here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/1/22/643
