[PATCH v9 00/40] sg: add v4 interface

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

 



This patchset is the first stage of a two stage rewrite of the scsi
generic (sg) driver. The main goal of the first stage is to introduce
the sg v4 interface that uses 'struct sg_io_v4' as well as keeping and
modernizing the sg v3 interface (based on 'struct sg_io_hdr'). The
async interface formerly requiring the use of write() and read()
system calls now have ioctl(SG_IOSUBMIT) and ioctl(SG_IORECEIVE)
replacements. See:
    http://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg_v40.html
for more details.

This patchset is against Martin Petersen's 5.8/scsi-queue branch.
There are some fixes for the original sg driver that are working
their way through various lk 5.7.* and earlier trees that may
upset this patchset. All those fixes (and several others) are
already fixed in this series.

Changes since v8 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20200301)
  - add new patch to ignore the /proc/scsi/sg/allow_dio setting.
    Now direct IO will be attempted whenever the SG_FLAG_DIRECT_IO
    flag is given
  - add new patch to track mmap_sz from previous mmap() call.
    Allows catching mmap-ed requests that exceed that value
  - change warning about using the v3 interface with the write()
    system call from WARN_ONCE() to pr_warn_once()
  - remove __KERNEL__ conditionals in include/scsi/sg.h
  - change struct sg_fd::start_ns from u64 to ktime_t type
  - introduce a new small sg_rq_state_mul2arr array to avoid
    a multiplication at runtime in the state machine engine
  - tweak mempool introduced in v7 for sense buffers
  - rework sg_mk_sgat() to better handle low memory situations;
    similar work on sg_remove_sgat_helper()

Changes since v7 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20200227)
  - improve direct IO code, remove the SG_FRQ_DIO_IN_USE
    sg_request::frq_bm flag as it is no longer needed
  - simplify state changing code. Many state changes (rq_st) do not
    need changes to the xarray "marks"; only lock those that do
    (reviewer queried the locking)
  - remove some misplaced likely()/unlikely() macros. They are gathered
    together in a separate patch (in a second patchset)
  - change a cast that the kbuild robot complained about. It also
    flagged a stack size problem in sg_ioctl_common() for reasons not
    given nor obvious. That function (and its parents) declare only
    simple scalars on the stack.
  - add 'Reviewed-by' where appropriate

Changes since v6 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20200112)
  - based on Martin Petersen's 5.7/scsi-queue branch in his
    linux-scsi repository
  - major work on mmap support: when mmap(2) is used the reserve
    request scatter gather list is rebuilt to have order=0
    elements (i.e. each is PAGE_SIZE bytes).
  - address one kbuild robot issue: add include defining size_t
  - nearly all patches that have been reviewed have been changed,
    usually in minor ways. Those patches have "***" before the
    "Reviewed-by" line.

Changes since v5 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20191008)
  - replace linked lists with xarray mechanism
  - use the locking in the xarray implementation to
    replace several discrete locks
  - some patches that were previously reviewed by
    Hannes Reinecke have had small changes made to
    them usually associated with xarrays. Those have
    been marked with "***" prepended to the
    "Reviewed-by" line
  - bump the driver version number to 4.0.08

Changes since v4 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20190829)
  - remove much of the logic in the previous patchset
    series from and including:
        [PATCH v4 11/22] sg: replace rq array with lists
    to
        [PATCH v4 22/22] sg: bump version to 4.0.03
  - bump the driver version number from 3.5.36 to 3.9.01
    [20190606] reflecting that the v4 interface has not
    been implemented (in this patchset)
  - patches 13/23 through to 22/23 reduce the complexity
    of "[PATCH v4 11/22] sg: replace rq array with lists"
    measured in KiloBytes from about 130 KB to 80 KB.
  - various changes suggested by reviewers of the v4
    patchset have been implemented
  - change all %p descriptors (mainly in SG_LOG() macros)
    to %pK so that the debug output remains useful in
    recent kernels. Evidently sys admins can selectively
    turn on pointer obfuscation on %pK as required on
    secure systems.

Changes since v3 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20190807):
  - move __must_hold attributes into separate patch
  - move procfs and debugfs file scope definitions toward
    the end of sg.c to avoid forward declarations
  - move module_param* and MODULE_* macros to end of sg.c
  - expand debugfs support with snapshot_devs which allows
    filtering of snapshot output by sg device(s)
  - add a WARN_ONCE when write(2) is used with the sg v3
    interface. Suggest using SG_IOSUBMIT_V3 instead.
  - address more of the review comments from Hannes Reinecke
    and Christoph Hellwig
  - add various reviewed-by tags where appropriate

Changes since v2 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20190727):
  - address issues "Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>".
    The main one was to change the bsg header included to:
    include/uapi/linux/bsg.h rather than include/linux/bsg.h
  - address some of the review comments from Hannes Reinecke;
    email responses have been sent for review comments that
    did not result in code changes

Changes since v1 (sent to linux-scsi list on 20190616):
  - change ktime_get_boot_ns() to ktime_get_boottime_ns() to reflect
    kernel API change first seen in lk 5.3.0-rc1
