[PATCH 1/5] block: Make generic_make_request handle arbitrary sized bios

From: Kent Overstreet
Date: Mon Nov 25 2013 - 17:31:38 EST


The way the block layer is currently written, it goes to great lengths
to avoid having to split bios; upper layer code (such as bio_add_page())
checks what the underlying device can handle and tries to always create
bios that don't need to be split.

But this approach becomes unwieldy and eventually breaks down with
stacked devices and devices with dynamic limits, and it adds a lot of
complexity. If the block layer could split bios as needed, we could
eliminate a lot of complexity elsewhere - particularly in stacked
drivers. Code that creates bios can then create whatever size bios are
convenient, and more importantly stacked drivers don't have to deal with
both their own bio size limitations and the limitations of the
(potentially multiple) devices underneath them. In the future this will
let us delete merge_bvec_fn and a bunch of other code.

We do this by adding calls to blk_queue_split() to the various
make_request functions that need it - a few can already handle arbitrary
size bios. Note that we add the call _after_ any call to blk_queue_bounce();
this means that blk_queue_split() and blk_recalc_rq_segments() don't need to be
concerned with bouncing affecting segment merging.

Some make_request_fns were simple enough to audit and verify they don't
need blk_queue_split() calls. The skipped ones are:

* nfhd_make_request (arch/m68k/emu/nfblock.c)
* axon_ram_make_request (arch/powerpc/sysdev/axonram.c)
* simdisk_make_request (arch/xtensa/platforms/iss/simdisk.c)
* brd_make_request (ramdisk - drivers/block/brd.c)
* loop_make_request
* null_queue_bio
* bcache's make_request fns

Some others are almost certainly safe to remove now, but will be left for future
patches.
