[PATCH v7 0/5] Initial support for multi-actuator HDDs

[PATCH v7 0/5] Initial support for multi-actuator HDDs

[Damien Le Moal]

Single LUN multi-actuator hard-disks are cappable to seek and execute
multiple commands in parallel. This capability is exposed to the host
using the Concurrent Positioning Ranges VPD page (SCSI) and Log (ATA).
Each positioning range describes the contiguous set of LBAs that an
actuator serves.

This series adds support to the scsi disk driver to retreive this
information and advertize it to user space through sysfs. libata is
also modified to handle ATA drives.

The first patch adds the block layer plumbing to expose concurrent
sector ranges of the device through sysfs as a sub-directory of the
device sysfs queue directory. Patch 2 and 3 add support to sd and
libata. Finally patch 4 documents the sysfs queue attributed changes.
Patch 5 fixes a typo in the document file (strictly speaking, not
related to this series).

This series does not attempt in any way to optimize accesses to
multi-actuator devices (e.g. block IO schedulers or filesystems). This
initial support only exposes the independent access ranges information
to user space through sysfs.

Changes from v6:
* Changed patch 1 to prevent a device from registering overlapping
  independent access ranges.

Changes from v5:
* Changed type names in patch 1:
  - struct blk_crange -> sturct blk_independent_access_range
  - struct blk_cranges -> sturct blk_independent_access_ranges
  All functions and variables are renamed accordingly, using shorter
  names related to the new type names, e.g.
  sturct blk_independent_access_ranges -> iaranges or iars.
* Update the commit message of patch 1 to 4. Patch 1 and 4 titles are
  also changed.
* Dropped reviewed-tags on modified patches. Patch 3 and 5 are
  unmodified

Changes from v4:
* Fixed kdoc comment function name mismatch for disk_register_cranges()
  in patch 1

Changes from v3:
* Modified patch 1:
  - Prefix functions that take a struct gendisk as argument with
    "disk_". Modified patch 2 accordingly.
  - Added a functional release operation for struct blk_cranges kobj to
    ensure that this structure is freed only after all references to it
    are released, including kobject_del() execution for all crange sysfs
    entries.
* Added patch 5 to separate the typo fix from the crange documentation
  addition.
* Added reviewed-by tags

Changes from v2:
* Update patch 1 to fix a compilation warning for a potential NULL
  pointer dereference of the cr argument of blk_queue_set_cranges().
  Warning reported by the kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>).

Changes from v1:
* Moved libata-scsi hunk from patch 1 to patch 3 where it belongs
* Fixed unintialized variable in patch 2
  Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
  Reported-by: Dan Carpenter <dan.carpenter@oracle.com
* Changed patch 3 adding struct ata_cpr_log to contain both the number
  of concurrent ranges and the array of concurrent ranges.
* Added a note in the documentation (patch 4) about the unit used for
  the concurrent ranges attributes.

[PATCH v7 1/5] block: Add independent access ranges support

[Damien Le Moal]

The Concurrent Positioning Ranges VPD page (for SCSI) and data log page
(for ATA) contain parameters describing the set of contiguous LBAs that
can be served independently by a single LUN multi-actuator hard-disk.
Similarly, a logically defined block device composed of multiple disks
can in some cases execute requests directed at different sector ranges
in parallel. A dm-linear device aggregating 2 block devices together is
an example.

This patch implements support for exposing a block device independent
access ranges to the user through sysfs to allow optimizing device
accesses to increase performance.

To describe the set of independent sector ranges of a device (actuators
of a multi-actuator HDDs or table entries of a dm-linear device),
The type struct blk_independent_access_ranges is introduced. This
structure describes the sector ranges using an array of
struct blk_independent_access_range structures. This range structure
defines the start sector and number of sectors of the access range.
The ranges in the array cannot overlap and must contain all sectors
within the device capacity.

The function disk_set_iaranges() allows a device driver to signal to
the block layer that a device has multiple independent access ranges.
In this case, a struct blk_independent_access_ranges is attached to
the device request queue by the function disk_set_iaranges(). The
function disk_alloc_iaranges() is provided for drivers to allocate this
structure.

struct blk_independent_access_ranges contains kobjects (struct kobject)
to expose to the user through sysfs the set of independent access ranges
supported by a device. When the device is initialized, sysfs
registration of the ranges information is done from blk_register_queue()
using the block layer internal function disk_register_iaranges(). If a
driver calls disk_set_iaranges() for a registered queue, e.g. when a
device is revalidated, disk_set_iaranges() will execute
disk_register_iaranges() to update the sysfs attribute files.

The sysfs file structure created starts from the
independent_access_ranges sub-directory and contains the start sector
and number of sectors of each range, with the information for each
range grouped in numbered sub-directories.

E.g. for a dual actuator HDD, the user sees:

$ tree /sys/block/sdk/queue/independent_access_ranges/
/sys/block/sdk/queue/independent_access_ranges/
|-- 0
|   |-- nr_sectors
|   `-- sector
`-- 1
    |-- nr_sectors
    `-- sector

For a regular device with a single access range, the
independent_access_ranges sysfs directory does not exist.

Device revalidation may lead to changes to this structure and to the
attribute values. When manipulated, the queue sysfs_lock and
sysfs_dir_lock mutexes are held for atomicity, similarly to how the
blk-mq and elevator sysfs queue sub-directories are protected.

The code related to the management of independent access ranges is
added in the new file block/blk-iaranges.c.

[PATCH v7 2/5] scsi: sd: add concurrent positioning ranges support

[Damien Le Moal]

Add the sd_read_cpr() function to the sd scsi disk driver to discover
if a device has multiple concurrent positioning ranges (i.e. multiple
actuators on an HDD). The existence of VPD page B9h indicates if a
device has multiple concurrent positioning ranges. The page content
describes each range supported by the device.

sd_read_cpr() is called from sd_revalidate_disk() and uses the block
layer functions disk_alloc_iaranges() and disk_set_iaranges() to
represent the set of actuators of the device as independent access
ranges.

The format of the Concurrent Positioning Ranges VPD page B9h is defined
in section 6.6.6 of SBC-5.

[PATCH v7 3/5] libata: support concurrent positioning ranges log

[Damien Le Moal]

Add support to discover if an ATA device supports the Concurrent
Positioning Ranges data log (address 0x47), indicating that the device
is capable of seeking to multiple different locations in parallel using
multiple actuators serving different LBA ranges.

Also add support to translate the concurrent positioning ranges log
into its equivalent Concurrent Positioning Ranges VPD page B9h in
libata-scsi.c.

The format of the Concurrent Positioning Ranges Log is defined in ACS-5
r9.

+independent_access_ranges (RO)
+------------------------------
+
+The presence of this sub-directory of the /sys/block/xxx/queue/ directory
+indicates that the device is capable of executing requests targeting
+different sector ranges in parallel. For instance, single LUN multi-actuator
+hard-disks will have an independent_access_ranges directory if the device
+correctly advertizes the sector ranges of its actuators.
+
+The independent_access_ranges directory contains one directory per access
+range, with each range described using the sector (RO) attribute file to
+indicate the first sector of the range and the nr_sectors (RO) attribute file
+to indicate the total number of sectors in the range starting from the first
+sector of the range.  For example, a dual-actuator hard-disk will have the
+following independent_access_ranges entries.::
+
+        $ tree /sys/block/<device>/queue/independent_access_ranges/
+        /sys/block/<device>/queue/independent_access_ranges/

+        `-- 1
+            |-- nr_sectors
+            `-- sector
+
+The sector and nr_sectors attributes use 512B sector unit, regardless of
+the actual block size of the device. Independent access ranges do not
+overlap and include all sectors within the device capacity. The access
+ranges are numbered in increasing order of the range start sector,
+that is, the sector attribute of range 0 always has the value 0.

I really detest the iaranges "name", it's horribly illegible. If you
want to stick with the ia thing, then disk_register_ia_ranges() would be
a lot better (though still horrible, imho, just less so).

Same goes for blk-iaranges, we really need to come up with something
more descriptive here.

For the function names, similarly with the struct names, I can use the full
spelling, so disk_set_independent_access_ranges() and
disk_alloc_independent_access_ranges(). Same for the internal functions for
sysfs registration. Longer function names, but very clear I think.

OK. I can rename the file to block/blk-independent-access-ranges.c. It is a long
but clear. Are you OK with shortened local variable names in that file ? Using
the full spelling make formatting of the code really hard due to the very long
lines.
