[PATCH 000 of 5] Introductory patches for bio refactor.

[PATCH 000 of 5] Introductory patches for bio refactor.

[NeilBrown]

Hi Jens,
 I wonder if you would accept these patches the block layer.
 They are, as far as I can tell, quite uncontroversial and provide
 good cleanups.

 The first is a minor bug-fix.
 The next to replace helper function that take a bio (always the first
 bio of a request), to instead take a request.

 The last two combine to replace rq_for_each_bio with
 rq_for_each_segment which makes blk_recalc_rq_segments a lot
 cleaner, and improves (to a lesser degree) every other place that
 used rq_for_each_bio.

 The net result is a decrease in object code size (for my x86-64 compile)
 for block/built-in.o of 96 bytes, though there is some growth out in
 drivers making and over-all decrease of only 48 bytes.

Thanks,
NeilBrown

[PATCH 001 of 5] Don't update bi_hw_*_size if we aren't going to merge.

[NeilBrown]

ll_merge_requests_fn can update bi_hw_*_size in one case where we end
up not merging.  This is wrong.

[PATCH 002 of 5] Replace bio_data with blk_rq_data

[NeilBrown]

Almost every call to bio_data is for the first bio
in a request.  A future patch will add some accounting
information to 'struct request' which will need to be
used to find the start of the request in the bio.
So replace bio_data with blk_rq_data which takes a 'struct request *'

The one exception is in dm-emc were using
   page_address(bio->bi_io_vec[0].bv_page);
is appropriate.

[PATCH 003 of 5] Replace bio_cur_sectors with blk_rq_cur_sectors.

[NeilBrown]

All calls to bio_cur_sectors are for the first bio in a 'struct request'.
A future patch will make the discovery of this number dependant on
information in the request.  So change the function to take a 
'struct request *' instread of a 'struct bio *', and make it a real
function as more code will need to be added.

One place wants the current bytes rather than sectors, so the
'real function' we create is blk_rq_cur_bytes, and 
blk_rq_cur_sectors divides this value by 512.

[PATCH 004 of 5] Introduce rq_for_each_segment replacing rq_for_each_bio

[NeilBrown]

(almost) every usage of rq_for_each_bio wraps a usage of
bio_for_each_segment, so these can be combined into
rq_for_each_segment.

We get it to fill in a bio_vec structure rather than provide a
pointer, as future changes to make bi_io_vec immutable will require
that.

The one place where rq_for_each_bio remains will be changed to use
rq_for_each_segment in a subsequent patch.

Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de>

[PATCH 005 of 5] Merge blk_recount_segments into blk_recalc_rq_segments

[NeilBrown]

blk_recalc_rq_segments calls blk_recount_segments on each bio,
then does some extra calculations to handle segments that overlap
two bios.

If we merge the code from blk_recount_segments into
blk_recalc_rq_segments, we can process the whole request one bio_vec
at a time, and not need the messy cross-bio calculations.

Then blk_recount_segments can be implemented by calling
blk_recalc_rq_segments, passing it a simple on-stack request which
stores just the bio.  This function is only temporary and will go away
completely by the end of this patch series.

This allows us to remove rq_for_each_bio

Thanks for seperating these out Neil, will go over them this morning!

This (and 3+4) just look like preparatory patches if we want to merge
the full patchset, not bug fixes. I seem to recall you had more bug
fixes or cleanups in your patchset, maybe I was mistaken. So nak for now
for 2-4, I'd apply 5 but it depends on the previous.

I don't remember other bug fixes, but I'll look through and check.

2 and 3 are very simple changes that - I think - make it clearer what
is happening.

And I felt 5 was a sufficient improvement to justify it and 4...

I'll go hunting and see what other preliminaries I can find.

OK, I'm properly remembering incorrectly then.

To be honest, I don't see much win in using blk_rq_data() over
bio_data() at all. I'd much much rather just see it go away!

5 is nice, I would like to apply that :-)

Well, as it is always the data at the (current) head of the request...

But I can make it go a way if you like.. What does it become?
bvec_kmap ??

OK, here comes '5' at the top of a small set of patches.  Take it and
any of the following that you like.

Yeah, it then just becomes a kmap. And ->buffer goes away completely.

So is bio_data(bio), and bio_data(rq->bio) is by definition the head of
the request. If anything, you are making it less flexible. Hence my
suggestion to just kill it off completely, it's a long over due cleanup.
