[PATCH 00/11] removing the on-stack struct request

[PATCH 00/11] removing the on-stack struct request

[FUJITA Tomonori]

This patchset converts some of the users of struct request on the
stack to use blk_get_request (as discussed in the large command
support thread [*1]).

IDE has the most users of the on-stack struct request. The on-stack
struct request has the benefit that it'll always work but I think that
using blk_get_request properly make the code clearer.

I've not got rid of all the on-stack struct request yet, but at least
this patchset removes the users of struct request that calls
blk_put_request. That is, we can remove the following hack in
blk_put_request:

/*
 * Gee, IDE calls in w/ NULL q.  Fix IDE and remove the
 * following if (q) test.
 */
if (q) {
	spin_lock_irqsave(q->queue_lock, flags);
	__blk_put_request(q, req);
	spin_unlock_irqrestore(q->queue_lock, flags);
}

This patchset is against Bartlomiej's ide tree. #1-9 patches are for
the IDE subsystem and #10-11 are for the block layer. #10-11 depends
on #1-9 so probably it would be easier to push all the patch via a
single tree.

[PATCH 01/11] ide: use blk_get_request in the ide_do_drive_cmd path using ide_wait

[FUJITA Tomonori]

This replaces struct request on the stack with blk_get_request in the
ide_do_drive_cmd path using ide_wait.

[PATCH 05/11] ide-cd: convert ide_cd_queue_pc to use blk_get_request

[FUJITA Tomonori]

This converts ide_cd_queue_pc to use blk_get_request to remove struct
request on the stack in the users of ide_cd_queue_pc, necessitating
changing the ide_cd_queue_pc prototype into a form that doesn't takes
a pointer to request struct. ide_cd_queue_pc works like scsi_execute.

[PATCH 06/11] ide: make ide_do_drive_cmd return rq->errors

[FUJITA Tomonori]

ide_do_drive_cmd forges an error value (-EIO) instead of
rq->errors. idetape_queue_rw_tail wants rq->errors so this patch makes
ide_do_drive_cmd return rq->errors.

For compatibility, this patch makes the users of ide_do_drive_cmd
return -EIO instead of a return value of ide_do_drive_cmd
(rq->errors).

[PATCH 09/11] ide: call blk_put_request properly

[FUJITA Tomonori]

Now all the users of ide_do_drive_cmd using ide_wait are converted to
use blk_get_request instead of struct request on the stack. This puts
WARN_ON to catch an overlooked user. We can remove WARN_ON and "if
(rq->q)" part after a while.

Some calls blk_put_request with struct request on the stack. As a

such callers are fixed (they use blk_get_request properly). So we can
safely remove the hack in blk_put_request.

are you sure you're patching against the right ide tree? See, we removed
pipelining (patches went in around the beginning of April) and the above comment
kinda says the opposite. Just to make sure, the latest quilt tree is at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/bart/pata-2.6/patches/.

The patchset is against Bart's git tree:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/bart/ide-2.6.git


Doesn't his git tree include the latest ide code?

No, this is the git tree that Bart sends to Linus to merge upstream. You should
get the latest patches from the URL i gave you before and quilt push them on
your git tree. That's the way i do it.

i don't see the reason for it. In the end, the only error type that is being
handed to and fro is -EIO and nobody is interested in rq->errors. So, whether
ide_do_drive_cmd or its callers return -EIO is kinda unimportant. In the second
case, however, you have simply added more code (as per the diffstat below) with
no apparent functionality. It would only make sense, IMHO, if you would
differentiate behaviour based on rq->errors...

I did this only because idetape_queue_rw_tail seems to have
differentiate behaviour based on rq->errors:


static int idetape_queue_rw_tail(ide_drive_t *drive, int cmd, int blocks,
				 struct idetape_bh *bh)
{
...

	(void) ide_do_drive_cmd(drive, &rq, ide_wait);

	if ((cmd & (REQ_IDETAPE_READ | REQ_IDETAPE_WRITE)) == 0)
		return 0;

	if (tape->merge_stage)
		idetape_init_merge_stage(tape);
	if (rq.errors == IDETAPE_ERROR_GENERAL)
		return -EIO;


If we can do something like:

	ret = ide_do_drive_cmd(drive, &rq, ide_wait);

	if ((cmd & (REQ_IDETAPE_READ | REQ_IDETAPE_WRITE)) == 0)
		return 0;

	if (tape->merge_stage)
		idetape_init_merge_stage(tape);
	if (ret)
		return -EIO;


Then yeah, we don't need this patch.

Well, AFAICS, all calls to idetape_queue_rw_tail simply check whether its return
value is negative, and, if so, discontinue further command queueing. So, i think
we're OK if we simply return -EIO. Bart?

Looks promising but probably I'll not be able to review it properly
this week (I'm busy with my real job) and the next week (I'll be busy
with pushing overdue IDE updates).  OTOH I'm hoping that Borislav
would be able to take a look in the meantime.

Thanks,
Bart

Yep, they're quite straight-forward and look fine except some nitpicking i sent
in separate mails. FWIW, this is what we wanted to do initially but Jens didn't
agree to that at the time. I guess, it's because i probably didn't express
myself clearly enough then. See http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2008/3/1/1037974

The cases that do ide_wait can clearly use __GFP_WAIT, and then there
are no issues. My worry was with current paths that allocate the request
on stack from interrupt context, where you cannot block for mempool
allocation. Perhaps such paths don't exist in ide (anymore?), if not
then there are no objections from me.

Thanks for reviewing,

Yeah, these patches are pretty straightforward mainly because they are
against the paths where we can use __GFP_WAIT.

I think that IDE uses request struct from interrupt context at some
places. In such places, I don't think that converting requests on the
stack and a pre-allocated fixed number of requests to
kmalloc/blk_get_request with GFP_ATOMIC is an good idea. It's better
to remove such code (allocating requests from interrupt context).

Fully agree, that is what I originally opposed. Then IDE should
pre-alloc a request at a safe time for usage like this.

Thanks for clarifying that, i've overlooked that case.
