On 7/21/21 12:42 PM, Damien Le Moal wrote:
The Concurrent Positioning Ranges VPD page (for SCSI) and Log (for ATA)
contain parameters describing the number of sets of contiguous LBAs that
can be served independently by a single LUN multi-actuator disk. This
patch provides the blk_queue_set_cranges() function allowing a device
driver to signal to the block layer that a disk has multiple actuators,
each one serving a contiguous range of sectors. To describe the set
of sector ranges representing the different actuators of a device, the
data type struct blk_cranges is introduced.

For a device with multiple actuators, a struct blk_cranges is attached
to the device request queue by the blk_queue_set_cranges() function. The
function blk_alloc_cranges() is provided for drivers to allocate this
structure.

The blk_cranges structure contains kobjects (struct kobject) to register
with sysfs the set of sector ranges defined by a device. On initial
device scan, this registration is done from blk_register_queue() using
the block layer internal function blk_register_cranges(). If a driver
calls blk_queue_set_cranges() for a registered queue, e.g. when a device
is revalidated, blk_queue_set_cranges() will execute
blk_register_cranges() to update the queue sysfs attribute files.

The sysfs file structure created starts from the cranges sub-directory
and contains the start sector and number of sectors served by an
actuator, with the information for each actuator grouped in one
directory per actuator. E.g. for a dual actuator drive, we have:

$ tree /sys/block/sdk/queue/cranges/
/sys/block/sdk/queue/cranges/
|-- 0
|   |-- nr_sectors
|   `-- sector
`-- 1
     |-- nr_sectors
     `-- sector

For a regular single actuator device, the cranges directory does not
exist.

Hmm. I do wonder if we need such a detailed layout.
In my patch I have just:

+       unsigned int            num_lba_ranges;
+       sector_t                *lba_ranges;

to hold the information; after all, I don't expect this data to be changing very often during the lifetime of the OS.

Device revalidation may lead to changes to this structure and to the
attribute values. When manipulated, the queue sysfs_lock and
sysfs_dir_lock are held for atomicity, similarly to how the blk-mq and
elevator sysfs queue sub-directories are protected.


Indeed, the values might change with revalidation. But not independently; a change in _one_ range will typically affect the adjacent ranges, too. So it should be sufficient to drop them completely and redo from scratch for revalidation.

The code related to the management of cranges is added in the new
file block/blk-cranges.c.

Do you really need independent kobj here?
As discussed above, the individual ranges are not independent, and it might be easier to just lump them into one structure, seeing that all of them will have to be redone during revalidation anyway.

Warm fuzzy feelings.
Sector ranges may overlap? Seriously?

The only way this could happen is when a given LBA will be present in _two_ ranges. And this is valid?

As mentioned above: I doubt we need to go into such detail. Just redo the ranges on revalidation should be sufficient.

And this is what you get for all the complexity.
Having to take _two_ locks, and have a detailed description how the function should be used.

I still think that redoing everything is simpler.
