Hi Jens, I prepared this pull request in the hope that it may help you review and stage these changes for 4.16. I went over Ming's changes again to refine the headers and code comments for clarity to help ease review and inclussion. I've done extensive testing of the changes in this pull request in combination with all the dm-4.16 changes I'll be sending to Linus, using this tree (which gets pulled into linux-next, I wanted some coverage): https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/log/?h=for-next I'll obviously drop these changes from dm's linux-next once you pick them up. FYI, this dm-4.16 commit addresses the concerns Bart raised last week against Ming's dm-mpath changes: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git/commit/?h=dm-4.16&id=7a9d12664a183c4a1e2fa86b0a9206006b95138e The following changes since commit bf9ae8c5325c0070d0ec81a849bba8d156f65993: blk-mq: fix bad clear of RQF_MQ_INFLIGHT in blk_mq_ct_ctx_init() (2018-01-14 10:46:24 -0700) are available in the Git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm.git tags/for-block-4.16/dm for you to fetch changes up to 0e94dfab56071a7afd0a9de9b8f6a0535148fb36: blk-mq: issue request directly for blk_insert_cloned_request (2018-01-14 13:00:02 -0500) Please pull, thanks! Mike ---------------------------------------------------------------- - Small correctness fix in del_gendisk() if GENHD_FL_HIDDEN is used. - Cleanup blk_unregister_queue() to more precisely protect against concurrent sysfs changes, blk_mq_unregister_dev() now requires caller to hold q->sysfslock (blk_unregister_queue is only caller). - Introduce add_disk() variant, add_disk_no_queue_reg(), that allows the gendisk to be registered but the associated disk->queue's blk_register_queue() is left for the driver to do once its request_queue is fully initialized. Fixes long-standing DM request_queue initialization issues. - Ming's blk-mq improvements to blk_insert_cloned_request(), which is used exclusively by request-based DM's blk-mq mode, that enable substantial dm-mpath sequential IO performance improvements. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Snitzer (4): block: only bdi_unregister() in del_gendisk() if !GENHD_FL_HIDDEN block: properly protect the 'queue' kobj in blk_unregister_queue block: allow gendisk's request_queue registration to be deferred dm: fix incomplete request_queue initialization Ming Lei (3): blk-mq: move actual issue into __blk_mq_issue_req helper blk-mq: return dispatch result from blk_mq_try_issue_directly blk-mq: issue request directly for blk_insert_cloned_request block/blk-core.c | 3 +- block/blk-mq-sysfs.c | 9 +----- block/blk-mq.c | 86 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------ block/blk-mq.h | 3 ++ block/blk-sysfs.c | 18 +++++++++-- block/genhd.c | 23 +++++++++++--- drivers/md/dm-rq.c | 28 ++++++++++------- drivers/md/dm.c | 11 ++++++- include/linux/genhd.h | 5 +++ 9 files changed, 136 insertions(+), 50 deletions(-) -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
