Hi,
The drivers in this patch-series clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM that is
not set at all in the queue allocation path in :-
drivers/block/mtip32xx/mtip32xx.c: blk_queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, dd->queue);
drivers/block/null_blk/main.c: blk_queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, nullb->q);
drivers/block/rbd.c: /* QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM is off by default for blk-mq */
drivers/block/zram/zram_drv.c: blk_queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, zram->disk->queue);
drivers/block/nbd.c: blk_queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, disk->queue);
drivers/block/brd.c: blk_queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, disk->queue);
drivers/md/bcache/super.c: blk_queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, d->disk->queue);
drivers/md/dm-table.c: * Clear QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM if any underlying device does not
drivers/md/dm-table.c: blk_queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, q);
drivers/mmc/core/queue.c: blk_queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, mq->queue);
drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.c: blk_queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, new->rq);
drivers/s390/block/scm_blk.c: blk_queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, rq);
drivers/scsi/sd.c: blk_queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, q);
drivers/scsi/sd.c: blk_queue_flag_set(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, q);
include/linux/blkdev.h:#define QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM 10 /* Contributes to random pool */
include/linux/blkdev.h:#define blk_queue_add_random(q) test_bit(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, &(q)->queue_flags)
Since sd is the only driver that sets this flag:-
drivers/scsi/sd.c: blk_queue_flag_clear(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, q);
drivers/scsi/sd.c: blk_queue_flag_set(QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM, q);
it is unclear how it will be set for null_blk, brd. nbd, zram, and
bcache in the allocation path so we have to clear it explicitly.
Remove dead clear of QUEUE_FLAG_ADD_RANDOM. Below is testlog for :-
null_blk
brd
nbd
zram
bcache
-ck
V2:-
1. Add everything into one patch.
2. Change patch title and update commit log.
