Damien Le Moal Aug. 27, 2021, 7:50 a.m. UTC
The Concurrent Positioning Ranges VPD page (for SCSI) and data log page
(for ATA) contain parameters describing the set of contiguous LBAs that
can be served independently by a single LUN multi-actuator hard-disk.
Similarly, a logically defined block device composed of multiple disks
can in some cases execute requests directed at different sector ranges
in parallel. A dm-linear device aggregating 2 block devices togewther is
an example.

This patch implement support for exposing this information to the
user to allow optimizing device accesses to increase performance.

To describe the set of independent sector ranges of a device (actuators
of a multi-actuator HDDs or table entries of a dm-linear device),
The type struct blk_independent_access_ranges is introduced. This
structure describes each sector range using an array of
struct blk_independent_access_range structures. This range structure
defines the start sector and number of sectors of the access range.

The function disk_set_iaranges() allows a device driver to signal to
the block layer that a device has multiple independent access ranges.
struct blk_independent_access_ranges is attached to the device request
queue by the disk_set_iaranges() function. The function
disk_alloc_iaranges() is provided for drivers to allocate this
structure.

The blk_independent_access_ranges structure contains kobjects
(struct kobject) to expose to the user through sysfs the set of
independent access ranges supported by a device. When the device is
initialized, sysfs registration of the range information is done from
blk_register_queue() using the block layer internal function
disk_register_iaranges(). If a driver calls disk_set_iaranges() for a
registered queue, e.g. when a device is revalidated, disk_set_iaranges()
will execute disk_register_iaranges() to update the queue sysfs
attribute files.

The sysfs file structure created starts from the
independent_access_ranges sub-directory and contains the start sector
and number of sectors of each range, with the information for each
range grouped in sub-directories.

E.g. for a dual actuator HDD, the user sees:

$ tree /sys/block/sdk/queue/independent_access_ranges/
/sys/block/sdk/queue/independent_access_ranges/
|-- 0
|   |-- nr_sectors
|   `-- sector
`-- 1
    |-- nr_sectors
    `-- sector

For a regular device with a single access range, the
independent_access_ranges sysfs directory does not exist.

Device revalidation may lead to changes to this structure and to the
attribute values. When manipulated, the queue sysfs_lock and
sysfs_dir_lock are held for atomicity, similarly to how the blk-mq and
elevator sysfs queue sub-directories are protected.

The code related to the management of independent access rages is
added in the new file block/blk-iaranges.c.
