[PATCH 0/4] blkdev: blkdev_issue_fn cleanups v2

[PATCH 0/4] blkdev: blkdev_issue_fn cleanups v2

[Dmitry Monakhov]

- Convert all blkdev_issue_xxx function to common set of flags
- move common functions to block/blk-lib.c
- Add generic zeroout helper

changes from V1
Christoph is about to change discard memory payload allocation logic
so discard cleanups are no longer necessary.

[PATCH 1/4] blkdev: pass gfp_mask and flags to blkdev_issue_flush

[Dmitry Monakhov]

In some places caller don't want to wait a request to complete.
Flags make blkdev_issue_flush() more flexible. This patch just
convert existing callers to new interface without chaining
existing allocation/wait behavior.

Looks good in general.  But I would re-order this to be patch 1 so you
can avoid introducing flags for blkdev_issue_flush just to replace them
in the next one.

If you create a new file just for discard I would call it blk-discard.c.
But I can't really be bothered too much about the placement of this two
functions, so do whatever is fine with you and Jens.

Re: [PATCH 4/4] patch blk-add-zeroout-helper.patch

[Christoph Hellwig]

Looks okayish to me, but it really needs:

 a) a useful patch description
 b) patches that introduce actual users

Also why does the function have a __ prefix in the name?

Looks okay to me, but as mention in the other review I would introduce
the comment flags first and then add the flags to blkdev_issue_flush,
not the other way around.

This is a very awkward stayle to define flags.  There really should
be no need for the __-prefixed version.  While you're using them for
test/set_bit and co there's no reason to use these atomic bitops here.

I need both bit_num(used inside function) and flag (1<<bit_num)
which is used by function caller.
No problem, i'll change it whenever you like
do you like following?
enum{
	IFN_BLKDEV_WAIT,	/* wait for completion */
	IFN_BLKDEV_BARRIER,	/*issue request with barrier */
};
#define BLKDEV_WAIT		(1 << IFN_BLKDEV_WAIT)
#define BLKDEV_BARRIER		(1 << IFN_BLKDEV_BARRIER)

Ok, will appear in several hours. I have to repeat full testing

Take your time, I would appreciate it if lvm didn't get broken again :-)

[PATCH 0/4] blkdev: blkdev_issue_fn cleanups v3

[Dmitry Monakhov]

- Convert all blkdev_issue_xxx function to common set of flags
- move common helper functions to block/blk-lib.c
- Add generic zeroout helper

Tested configuration: ext4 w -odiscard over raw_bdisk and dm-linear
changes from V2
Fix flag names, and rearange patches according to Christoph's comments.

[PATCH 1/4] blkdev: generalize flags for blkdev_issue_fn functions

[Dmitry Monakhov]

The patch just convert all blkdev_issue_xxx function to common
set of flags. Wait/allocation semantics preserved.

[PATCH 3/4] blkdev: move blkdev_issue helper functions to separate file

[Dmitry Monakhov]

Move blkdev_issue_discard from blk-barrier.c because it is
not barrier related.
Later the file will be populated by other helpers.

[PATCH 4/4] blkdev: add blkdev_issue_zeroout helper function

[Dmitry Monakhov]

- Add bio_batch helper primitive. This is rather generic primitive
  for submitting/waiting a complex request which consists of several
  bios.
- blkdev_issue_zeroout() generate number of zero filed write bios.
