At least after review is done I really think this patch sopuld be folded into the previous one. Some more comments below: > @@ -58,6 +58,12 @@ struct virtblk_req > struct bio *bio; > struct virtio_blk_outhdr out_hdr; > struct virtio_scsi_inhdr in_hdr; > + struct work_struct work; > + struct virtio_blk *vblk; I think using bio->bi_private for the virtio_blk pointer would be cleaner. > + bool is_flush; > + bool req_flush; > + bool req_data; > + bool req_fua; This could be a bitmap, or better even a single state field. > +static int virtblk_bio_send_flush(struct virtio_blk *vblk, > + struct virtblk_req *vbr) > +static int virtblk_bio_send_data(struct virtio_blk *vblk, > + struct virtblk_req *vbr) These should only get the struct virtblk_req * argument as the virtio_blk structure is easily derivable from it. > +static inline void virtblk_bio_done_flush(struct virtio_blk *vblk, > + struct virtblk_req *vbr) > { > + if (vbr->req_data) { > + /* Send out the actual write data */ > + struct virtblk_req *_vbr; > + _vbr = virtblk_alloc_req(vblk, GFP_NOIO); > + if (!_vbr) { > + bio_endio(vbr->bio, -ENOMEM); > + goto out; > + } > + _vbr->req_fua = vbr->req_fua; > + _vbr->bio = vbr->bio; > + _vbr->vblk = vblk; > + INIT_WORK(&_vbr->work, virtblk_bio_send_data_work); > + queue_work(virtblk_wq, &_vbr->work); The _vbr naming isn't too nice. Also can you explain why the original request can't be reused in a comment here? Also if using a state variable I think the whole code would be a bit cleaner if the bio_done helpers are combined. > - if (writeback && !use_bio) > + if (writeback) > blk_queue_flush(vblk->disk->queue, REQ_FLUSH); Shouldn't this be REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA for the bio case? Btw, did you verify that flushes really work correctly for all cases using tracing in qemu? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
