Pull libnvdimm fixes from Dan Williams:
"Incremental fixes and a small feature addition on top of the main
libnvdimm 4.12 pull request:
- Geert noticed that tinyconfig was bloated by BLOCK selecting DAX.
The size regression is fixed by moving all dax helpers into the
dax-core and only specifying "select DAX" for FS_DAX and
dax-capable drivers. He also asked for clarification of the
NR_DEV_DAX config option which, on closer look, does not need to be
a config option at all. Mike also throws in a DEV_DAX_PMEM fixup
for good measure.
- Ben's attention to detail on -stable patch submissions caught a
case where the recent fixes to arch_copy_from_iter_pmem() missed a
condition where we strand dirty data in the cache. This is tagged
for -stable and will also be included in the rework of the pmem api
to a proposed {memcpy,copy_user}_flushcache() interface for 4.13.
- Vishal adds a feature that missed the initial pull due to pending
review feedback. It allows the kernel to clear media errors when
initializing a BTT (atomic sector update driver) instance on a pmem
namespace.
- Ross noticed that the dax_device + dax_operations conversion broke
__dax_zero_page_range(). The nvdimm unit tests fail to check this
path, but xfstests immediately trips over it. No excuse for missing
this before submitting the 4.12 pull request.
These all pass the nvdimm unit tests and an xfstests spot check. The
set has received a build success notification from the kbuild robot"

Provide block layer support for the kernel.
|
|
|
|
Disable this option to remove the block layer support from the
|
|
kernel. This may be useful for embedded devices.
|
|
|
|
If this option is disabled:
|
|
|
|
- block device files will become unusable
|
|
- some filesystems (such as ext3) will become unavailable.
|
|
|
|
Also, SCSI character devices and USB storage will be disabled since
|
|
they make use of various block layer definitions and facilities.
|
|
|
|
Say Y here unless you know you really don't want to mount disks and
|
|
suchlike.

Enable block devices or files of size 2TB and larger.

This option is required to support the full capacity of large
|

(2TB+) block devices, including RAID, disk, Network Block Device,
|
|
Logical Volume Manager (LVM) and loopback.
|
|
|

This option also enables support for single files larger than
|
|
2TB.
|

The ext4 filesystem requires that this feature be enabled in
|
|
order to support filesystems that have the huge_file feature
|
|
enabled. Otherwise, it will refuse to mount in the read-write
|
|
mode any filesystems that use the huge_file feature, which is
|
|
enabled by default by mke2fs.ext4.
|
|
|

The GFS2 filesystem also requires this feature.

Saying Y here will enable generic SG (SCSI generic) v4 support

for any block device.
|
|
|
|
Unlike SG v3 (aka block/scsi_ioctl.c drivers/scsi/sg.c), SG v4
|
|
can handle complicated SCSI commands: tagged variable length cdbs
|
|
with bidirectional data transfers and generic request/response
|
|
protocols (e.g. Task Management Functions and SMP in Serial
|
|
Attached SCSI).
|
|

This option is required by recent UDEV versions to properly

Some storage devices allow extra information to be

Block layer bio throttling support. It can be used to limit
|
|
the IO rate to a device. IO rate policies are per cgroup and
|
|
one needs to mount and use blkio cgroup controller for creating
|
|
cgroups and specifying per device IO rate policies.

Add .low limit interface for block throttling. The low limit is a best

effort limit to prioritize cgroups. Depending on the setting, the limit
|
|
can be used to protect cgroups in terms of bandwidth/iops and better
|

utilize disk resource.

Note, this is an experimental interface and could be changed someday.

Enabling this option allows you to specify the partition layout from

|
the kernel boot args. This is typically of use for embedded devices
|
|
which don't otherwise have any standardized method for listing the

partitions on a block device.

Enabling this option enables the block layer to throttle buffered
|
|
background writeback from the VM, making it more smooth and having
|
|
less impact on foreground operations. The throttling is done
|
|
dynamically on an algorithm loosely based on CoDel, factoring in
|
|
the realtime performance of the disk.
