This is second version of generic discard optimizations first was submitted here: http://lwn.net/Articles/373994 Currently there are many file-systems which has implemented discard support, but SSD discs not widely used yet. This patch-set introduce compat helpers which simulate discard requests with zeroing semantics. __blkdev_issue_zeroout: explicitly zeroout given range via write request. blkdev_issue_clear: zeroout given range, use discard request if possible. Later filesystem admin may select which behavior is suitable for his needs discard without zeroing or explicit zeroing even if discard is not supported. Advantages: - Hope that this helps in real filesystem testing. - People who are crazy about data security would be really happy. - Virtual machine developers also would like this feature. Other optimization: - Convert all blkdev_issue_xxx function to common set of flags - Optimize generic discard submitting procedure. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

Ok good to know. As soon as i understand on low level you know how many memory you actually need to store a request range. BTW Do you know any drivers which max_discard_sectors contains some restricted value? Because my 5'th patch was aimed to optimize the case where discard request must being spitted to several bio-s. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

I think tihs is pretty odd, to be honest, and a strange way to use a discard request. If this is some security concern, have some fs helpers to help them explicitly zero blocks. If you really want to be paranoid, the single overwrite is likely not enough anyway. Secondly, if used on an SSD that doesn't have discard, it'll make things worse. Thirdly, discard may or may not provide zeroed data on re-read. -- Jens Axboe ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread

May be, but usually discard is issued for data block, and user may has zeroout behavior FOR FREE simply by replacing the function. And if filesystem want to support paranoid mode it will add corresponding helpers for metadata which require more work. BTW blkdev_issue_zeroout is pretty generic to be useful for other places. Currently there are several places which duplicate this logic. > Secondly, if used on > an SSD that doesn't have discard, it'll make things worse. Thirdly, > discard may or may not provide zeroed data on re-read. Yes for second and third. But i've just add explicit zeroed functions. And let user define which behavior is sufficient for him. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
