fs: get rid of the res2 iocb->ki_complete argument

2021-10-25T16:36:24Z

The second argument was only used by the USB gadget code, yet everyone pays the overhead of passing a zero to be passed into aio, where it ends up being part of the aio res2 value. Now that everybody is passing in zero, kill off the extra argument. Reviewed-by: Darrick J. Wong Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

scsi: target: core: file: Don't duplicate memset(0xff)

2021-03-10T04:47:18Z

The function fd_do_prot_fill() is called from two callers fd_do_prot_unmap() and fd_format_prot(). Both callers initialize the passed buffer to 0xff with memset(). Move the memset() call to fd_do_prot_fill() to avoid duplication.

target/file: allocate the bvec array as part of struct target_core_file_cmd

2021-01-25T15:58:24Z

This saves one memory allocation, and ensures the bvecs aren't freed before the AIO completion. This will allow the lower level code to be optimized so that it can avoid allocating another bvec array.

scsi: target: file: Don't zero iter before iov_iter_bvec

2021-01-13T05:09:16Z

iov_iter_bvec() initialises iterators well, no need to pre-zero it beforehand as done in fd_execute_rw_aio(). Compilers can't optimise it out and generate extra code for that (confirmed with assembly).

block: remove i_bdev

2020-12-01T21:53:39Z

Switch the block device lookup interfaces to directly work with a dev_t so that struct block_device references are only acquired by the blkdev_get variants (and the blk-cgroup special case). This means that we now don't need an extra reference in the inode and can generally simplify handling of struct block_device to keep the lookups contained in the core block layer code.

iov_iter: Separate type from direction and use accessor functions

2018-10-23T23:41:07Z

In the iov_iter struct, separate the iterator type from the iterator direction and use accessor functions to access them in most places. Convert a bunch of places to use switch-statements to access them rather then chains of bitwise-AND statements. This makes it easier to add further iterator types. Also, this can be more efficient as to implement a switch of small contiguous integers, the compiler can use ~50% fewer compare instructions than it has to use bitwise-and instructions. Further, cease passing the iterator type into the iterator setup function. The iterator function can set that itself. Only the direction is required. Signed-off-by: David Howells

scsi: target: target/file: Add support of direct and async I/O

2018-05-15T02:40:08Z

There are two advantages: * Direct I/O allows to avoid the write-back cache, so it reduces affects to other processes in the system. * Async I/O allows to handle a few commands concurrently. DIO + AIO shows a better perfomance for random write operations: Mode: O_DSYNC Async: 1 $ ./fio --bs=4K --direct=1 --rw=randwrite --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --name=/dev/sda --runtime=20 --numjobs=2 WRITE: bw=45.9MiB/s (48.1MB/s), 21.9MiB/s-23.0MiB/s (22.0MB/s-25.2MB/s), io=919MiB (963MB), run=20002-20020msec Mode: O_DSYNC Async: 0 $ ./fio --bs=4K --direct=1 --rw=randwrite --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --name=/dev/sdb --runtime=20 --numjobs=2 WRITE: bw=1607KiB/s (1645kB/s), 802KiB/s-805KiB/s (821kB/s-824kB/s), io=31.8MiB (33.4MB), run=20280-20295msec Known issue: DIF (PI) emulation doesn't work when a target uses async I/O, because DIF metadata is saved in a separate file, and it is another non-trivial task how to synchronize writing in two files, so that a following read operation always returns a consisten metadata for a specified block.
