Former logic of ocfs2_file_aio_write() was a bit stricky to unlock the rw_lock and i_alloc_sem, by using some private bits in struct 'iocb' to communite with ocfs2_dio_end_io(), it did work before we introduce the patch of supporting 'coherency=full,buffered' option, since rw_lock and i_alloc_sem were never acquired both at the same time, no mattar we doing buffered or direct IO or

From: Zach Brown <zab@zabbo.net> ocfs2''s .aio_read and .aio_write methods are changed to take iov_iter and pass it to generic functions. Wrappers are made to pack the iovecs into iters and call these new functions.

i_alloc_sem has always been a bit of an odd "lock". It''s the only remaining rw_semaphore that can be released by a different thread than the one that locked it, and it''s use case in the core direct I/O code is more like a counter given that the writers already have external serialization. This series removes it in favour of a simpler counter scheme, thus getting rid

depends on "autoconf: regenerate configure scripts with 4.4 version" This series removes some of the really old deadwood from the tools build and makes some other things which are on their way out configurable at build time with a default depending on how far down the slope I judge them to be. * nuke in tree copy of libaio * nuke obsolete tools: xsview, miniterm, lomount & sv *

V1->V2: Check to see if our current ppos is >= i_size after a short DIO read, just in case it was actually a short read and we need to just return. This is similar to what already happens in the write case. If we have a short read while doing O_DIRECT, instead of just returning, fallthrough and try to read the rest via buffered IO. BTRFS needs this because if we encounter a compressed or

Hi Vitaly, Thank you for the patch! Yet something to improve: [auto build test ERROR on vhost/linux-next] [also build test ERROR on v4.19 next-20181102] [if your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, please drop us a note to help improve the system] url: https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Vitaly-Mayatskikh/vhost-add-vhost_blk-driver/20181103-084141 base:

V1->V2: -Changed dio_end_io to EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL -Removed the own_submit blockdev dio helper -Removed the boundary change V2->V3 -Made it so we keep track of what the current logical offset in the file we have a BIO setup for so we can pass it into the submit_io hook. Because BTRFS can do RAID and such, we need our own submit hook so we can setup the bio''s in the correct fashion,

Hi, this is about an issue newer kernels show, bysplitting direct I/O requests into 4k pieces to directly merge them in the Block Device Layer afterwards. If anyone is interested in own tests just use a simple command like dd if=/mnt/test/test-dd1 of=/dev/null iflag=direct bs=64k count=1 in combination with blktrace. The following patch is more a proposal for discussion than a solution, well

Tun device looks similar to a packet socket in that both pass complete frames from/to userspace. This patch fills in enough fields in the socket underlying tun driver to support sendmsg/recvmsg operations, and message flags MSG_TRUNC and MSG_DONTWAIT, and exports access to this socket to modules. Regular read/write behaviour is unchanged. This way, code using raw sockets to inject packets into

Get blktap2 running on pvops. This mainly adds eventfd support to the userland code. Based on some prior cleanup to tapdisk-queue and the server object. We had most of that in XenServer for a while, so I kept it stacked. 1. Clean up IPC and AIO init in tapdisk-server. [I think tapdisk-ipc in blktap2 is basically obsolete. Pending a later patch to remove it?] 2. Split tapdisk-queue into

This idea is from ext4. By this patch, we can make the dio write parallel, and improve the performance. We needn''t worry about the race between dio write and truncate, because the truncate need wait untill all the dio write end. And we also needn''t worry about the race between dio write and punch hole, because we have extent lock to protect our operation. I ran fio to test the

Hi folks, This patchset adds vhost-blk support. vhost-blk is a in kernel virito-blk device accelerator. Compared to userspace virtio-blk implementation, vhost-blk gives about 5% to 15% performance improvement.
