Allow splice(2) to work when both the input and the output is a pipe.

Based on the impementation of the tee(2) syscall, but instead of
duplicating the buffer references move the buffers from the input pipe
to the output pipe.

Moving the whole buffer only succeeds if the full length of the buffer
is spliced.  Otherwise duplicate the buffer, just like tee(2), set the
length of the output buffer and advance the offset on the input
buffer.

Since splice is operating on two pipes, special care needs to be taken
with locking to prevent AN ABBA deadlock.  Again this is done
similarly to the tee(2) syscall, first preparing the input and output
pipes so there's data to consume and space for that data, and then
doing the move operation while holding both locks.

If other processes are doing I/O on the same pipes parallel to the
splice, then by the time both inodes are locked there might be no
buffers left to move, or no space to move them to.  In this case retry
the whole operation, including the preparation phase.  This could lead

block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch

Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request().  After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing.  Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.

Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary.  However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing.  Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.

Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model.  This patch completes the API transition by...

* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()

* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()

* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start

* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests

* applying new API to all LLDs

Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

Tejun Heo [Thu, 7 May 2009 13:24:41 +0000 (22:24 +0900)]
block: drop request->hard_* and *nr_sectors

struct request has had a few different ways to represent some
properties of a request.  ->hard_* represent block layer's view of the
request progress (completion cursor) and the ones without the prefix
are supposed to represent the issue cursor and allowed to be updated
as necessary by the low level drivers.  The thing is that as block
layer supports partial completion, the two cursors really aren't
necessary and only cause confusion.  In addition, manual management of
request detail from low level drivers is cumbersome and error-prone at
the very least.

Another interesting duplicate fields are rq->[hard_]nr_sectors and
rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors against rq->data_len and
rq->bio->bi_size.  This is more convoluted than the hard_ case.

rq->[hard_]nr_sectors are initialized for requests with bio but
blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for !pc requests.  rq->data_len is
initialized for all request but blk_rq_bytes() uses it only for pc
requests.  This causes good amount of confusion throughout block layer
and its drivers and determining the request length has been a bit of
black magic which may or may not work depending on circumstances and
what the specific LLD is actually doing.

rq->{hard_cur|current}_nr_sectors represent the number of sectors in
the contiguous data area at the front.  This is mainly used by drivers
which transfers data by walking request segment-by-segment.  This
value always equals rq->bio->bi_size >> 9.  However, data length for
pc requests may not be multiple of 512 bytes and using this field
becomes a bit confusing.

In general, having multiple fields to represent the same property
leads only to confusion and subtle bugs.  With recent block low level
driver cleanups, no driver is accessing or manipulating these
duplicate fields directly.  Drop all the duplicates.  Now rq->sector
means the current sector, rq->data_len the current total length and
rq->bio->bi_size the current segment length.  Everything else is
defined in terms of these three and available only through accessors.

* blk_recalc_rq_sectors() is collapsed into blk_update_request() and
  now handles pc and fs requests equally other than rq->sector update.
  This means that now pc requests can use partial completion too (no
  in-kernel user yet tho).

* bio_cur_sectors() is replaced with bio_cur_bytes() as block layer
  now uses byte count as the primary data length.

* blk_rq_pos() is now guranteed to be always correct.  In-block users
  converted.

* blk_rq_bytes() is now guaranteed to be always valid as is
  blk_rq_sectors().  In-block users converted.

* blk_rq_sectors() is now guaranteed to equal blk_rq_bytes() >> 9.
  More convenient one is used.

* blk_rq_bytes() and blk_rq_cur_bytes() are now inlined and take const

complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
[__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
request with the cached data length.

Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred.  The residual count is
an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
alone means no data transfer occurred at all.  This reverse default
behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.

This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.

While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.

block: clean up request completion API

Request completion has gone through several changes and became a bit
messy over the time.  Clean it up.

1. end_that_request_data() is a thin wrapper around
   end_that_request_data_first() which checks whether bio is NULL
   before doing anything and handles bidi completion.
   blk_update_request() is a thin wrapper around
   end_that_request_data() which clears nr_sectors on the last
   iteration but doesn't use the bidi completion.

   Clean it up by moving the initial bio NULL check and nr_sectors
   clearing on the last iteration into end_that_request_data() and
   renaming it to blk_update_request(), which makes blk_end_io() the
   only user of end_that_request_data().  Collapse
   end_that_request_data() into blk_end_io().

2. There are four visible completion variants - blk_end_request(),
   __blk_end_request(), blk_end_bidi_request() and end_request().
   blk_end_request() and blk_end_bidi_request() uses blk_end_request()
   as the backend but __blk_end_request() and end_request() use
   separate implementation in __blk_end_request() due to different
   locking rules.

   blk_end_bidi_request() is identical to blk_end_io().  Collapse
   blk_end_io() into blk_end_bidi_request(), separate out request
   update into internal helper blk_update_bidi_request() and add
   __blk_end_bidi_request().  Redefine [__]blk_end_request() as thin
   inline wrappers around [__]blk_end_bidi_request().

3. As the whole request issue/completion usages are about to be
   modified and audited, it's a good chance to convert completion
   functions return bool which better indicates the intended meaning
   of return values.

4. The function name end_that_request_last() is from the days when it
   was a public interface and slighly confusing.  Give it a proper
   internal name - blk_finish_request().

5. Add description explaning that blk_end_bidi_request() can be safely
   used for uni requests as suggested by Boaz Harrosh.

The only visible behavior change is from #1.  nr_sectors counts are
cleared after the final iteration no matter which function is used to
complete the request.  I couldn't find any place where the code
assumes those nr_sectors counters contain the values for the last
segment and this change is good as it makes the API much more
consistent as the end result is now same whether a request is
completed using [__]blk_end_request() alone or in combination with
blk_update_request().

API further cleaned up per Christoph's suggestion.

idetape blocks which isn't necessary 512 bytes.  Also,
rq->current_nr_sectors is used to report back the residual count in

ide-tape: use single continuous buffer

Impact: simpler buffer allocation and handling, kills OOM, fix DMA transfers

ide-tape has its own multiple buffer mechanism using struct
idetape_bh.  It allocates buffer with decreasing order-of-two
allocations so that it results in minimum number of segments.
However, the implementation is quite complex and works in a way that
no other block or ide driver works necessitating a lot of special case
handling.

The benefit this complex allocation scheme brings is questionable as
PIO or DMA the number of segments (16 maximum) doesn't make any
noticeable difference and it also doesn't negate the need for multiple
order allocation which can fail under memory pressure or high
fragmentation although it does lower the highest order necessary by
one when the buffer size isn't power of two.

As the first step to remove the custom buffer management, this patch
makes ide-tape allocate single continous buffer.  The maximum order is
four.  I doubt the change would cause any trouble but if it ever
matters, it should be converted to regular sg mechanism like everyone
else and even in that case dropping custom buffer handling and moving
to standard mechanism first make sense as an intermediate step.

This patch makes the first bh to contain the whole buffer and drops
multi bh handling code.  Following patches will make further changes.

This patch has the side effect of killing OOM triggered by allocation
path and fixing DMA transfers.  Previously, bug in alloc path
triggered OOM on command issue and commands were passed to DMA engine
without DMA-mapping all the segments.

ide-cd: don't abuse rq->buffer

Impact: rq->buffer usage cleanup

ide-cd uses rq->buffer to carry pointer to the original request when
issuing REQUEST_SENSE.  Use rq->special instead.
