[PATCH v4] dm: only initialize full request_queue for request-based device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Allocate a minimalist request_queue structure initially (needed for both
bio and request-based DM).  A bio-based DM device no longer defaults to
having a fully initialized request_queue (request_fn, elevator, etc).
So bio-based DM devices no longer register elevator sysfs attributes
('iosched/' tree or 'scheduler' other than "none").

Initialization of a full request_queue (request_fn, elevator, etc) is
deferred until it is known that the DM device is request-based -- at the
end of the table load sequence.

Factor DM device's request_queue initialization:
- common to both request-based and bio-based into dm_init_md_queue().
- specific to request-based into dm_init_request_based_queue().

Adjust elv_iosched_show() to return "none" if !blk_queue_stackable.
This allows the block layer to take bio-based DM into consideration.

NOTE: It is still possible, albeit unlikely, for a bio-based device to
have a full request_queue.  But in this case the unused elevator will
not be registered with sysfs.  A table switch from request-based to 
bio-based would be required, e.g.:

   # dmsetup create --notable bio-based
   # echo "0 100 multipath ..." | dmsetup load bio-based
   # echo "0 100 linear ..."    | dmsetup load bio-based
   # dmsetup resume bio-based

Future work, in conjunction with userspace changes, could allow DM to
fix this by knowing which type of request_queue to initialize a priori
(instead of waiting until the end of the table load sequence).
