[PATCH 0/3] Separate zone requests from medium access requests

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

 



This series introduces blk_rq_accesses_medium(), which is equivalent to
!blk_rq_is_passthrough() minus the zone request operations REQ_OP_ZONE_REPORT
and REQ_OP_ZONE_RESET. This new helper allows avoiding problems due to the
non-standard nature of these commands (report zones does no operate on logical
block size units while reset zone operates on entire zones only).

Using blk_rq_accesses_medium(), patch 2 excludes the zone commands from
request accounting (these commands are not accessing the device medium).
Exclusion from request scheduling is also added.

Finally, patch 3 uses the blk_rq_accesses_medium() helper to fix improperly
unaligned resid values only and only for medium access commands. This
correctly excludes from the resid correction zone requests as well as
passthrough requests.

ALl 3 patches are originally from Bart.

Bart Van Assche (3):
  block: Introduce blk_rq_accesses_medium()
  block: Separate zone requests from medium access requests
  mpt3sas: Do not check resid for non medium access commands
