[PATCH v18 00/83] sg: add v4 interface, request sharing

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

 



This is the combined patchset showing the additions in the
second half patchset, that will be presented after the first
half patchset is accepted.

Patches 1 to 45 (inclusive) are a new version (v18) of the
first half patchset and have their own cover letter whose
subject line is:
    [PATCH v18 00/45] sg: add v4 interface

The idea behind releasing the combined patchset is so they can
be run through the kernel's code sanity checking mechanisms.
So expect some noise.

The additions in the second half patchset are more fully described
in:    https://sg.danny.cz/sg/sg_v40.html  which is mirrored at:
       https://doug-gilbert.github.io/sg_v40.html
       

The following list is a summary of features in the second patchset:

    - add (sg) file descriptor sharing; this is used by:
      - request sharing
      - multiple requests (mrq) use of SGV4_FLAG_DO_ON_OTHER flag

    - add request sharing, mainly to expedite copying. READ bio
      handed off to paired WRITE with no data to user space unless
      requested. Also capable of using VERIFY(BytChk=1) instead of
      the WRITE (what NVMe does in its Compare NVM command).

    - extend the request sharing logic so SGV4_FLAG_KEEP_SHARE
      will keep bio after a WRITE. This allows for a single
      source, multiple destinations copy 

    - add an extensible SG_SET_GET_EXTENDED ioctl(2) that takes a
      fixed size structure (96 byte).

    - add multiple requests capability (mrq) in a single ioctl(SG_IO)
      or ioctl(SG_IOSUBMIT) invocation. Can be combined with request
      sharing.

    - add a SGV4_FLAG_IMMED flag for ioctl(SG_IORECEIVE) or
      ioctl(SG_IORECEIVE_V3) so they don't wait

    - add logic for (block layer generated) tag handling and keep
      existing pack_id (packet id) logic which plays a similar role

    - add ioctl(SG_IOABORT) to abort an inflight command/request
      using its pack-id or tag.

    - add shared variable blocking (svb) method to the mrq. Assumes
      it is doing copy-like request sharing. By default WRITEs are
      unordered (wrt to each other). With SGV4_FLAG_ORDERED_WR flag
      WRITEs are ordered as required for ZBC disks.

    - add support to pass a fd generated by eventfd(2) to the driver
      via an ioctl(2).

    - use iopoll/hipri/blk_poll with mrq, especially svb.

    - bump the driver version number to 4.0.47

Most of the above are _only_ implemented for the sg version 4
(i.e. based on struct sg_io_v4) interface.
