PATCH 1/1 2.5 ide 48-bit usage

Hi,

I did a patch for 2.4 some weeks ago that added (what I consider) proper 48-bit lba usage to ide-disk. Basically that consists of:

- Only using 48-bit commands when necessary
- When we can support 48-bit commands, take advantage of them by using larger requests than the 64k we are currently limiting ide-disk to.

Here's the same thing for 2.5 in its final version (equiv patch exists in 2.4 ppc tree), I've been using it on my laptop for weeks. It defaults to 1024kb request size, maybe we'd want to cut that to 512kb or something in that range.

I did a patch for 2.4 some weeks ago that added (what I consider) proper 48-bit lba usage to ide-disk.

Ok, let me disagree a bit.

At least if I read the patch correctly, theer's no way for upper layers to say "I want 48-bit addressing" - it's just turned on automatically for high sectors (or big transfers).

Well, you can mark the drive itself as wanting 48-bit transfers, but you can't do it on a per-request basis.

And I think this is 100% equivalent to the 6 vs 10 vs 16-byte SCSI command issue, and I really think it should b esolved the same way. Namely, you should be able to (on a "struct request" level) explicitly say that you want the big requests, and then the default prep_fn() would do roughly what you do now by default.

That way something like a SG_IO interface could force one mode or the other on a per-request basis.

Comments?

I dunno what the purpose of that would be exactly, I guess to cater to some hardware odditites?

Doesn't make a lot of sense in this case I think, because the command associated with the SG_IO request would implicitly be either a 28-bit or 48-bit command based on the opcode of the request.

Comments?

You haven't really convinced me yet. Is there some hardware out there that requires to be addressed in 48-bit mode? If that is the case, then yes a bit is missing to fully support that. We'd probably have a forced addressing flag in the hwif, and the drive->addressing would inherit that. So instead of

	const int lba48 = rq_lba48(rq);

it would be

	const int lba48 = rq_lba48(rq) || drive->addressing == FORCED_48;

(forgive the ugliness of the above construct, it's just meant to below operation of it, rq_lba48 would probably just take both drive and rq as parameter).

And testing. In particular, you might want to test whether a device properly supports 48-bit addressing, either from the kernel or from user programs.

Also, if you want to re-create some particular IO pattern for debugging, you may want to explicitly use 48-bit addressing.

For that, a forced 48-bit hwif->addressing inherited by drives will suffice. And I agree, we should have that.

See, the logic in the kernel right now is just to check whether the drive supports 48-bit commands. If it does, we use them like we would 28-bit commands. We eat the extra overhead, and do nothing to take advantage of it (except using big drives, of course). What's the logic in that?!

Also, if you want to re-create some particular IO pattern for debugging, you may want to explicitly use 48-bit addressing.

Then you just recreate those commands, there's absolutely no need for anything special in this case. And the current patch neither explicitly allows or disallows anything that the stock kernel doesn't.

If you are doing that from userspace by sending in taskfiles with the appropriate commands, then you just create the commands like you want them. rq_lba48() just checks whether file system requests should be executed with 28 or 48-bit commands. If you send in taskfiles (your SG_IO example), you have complete control over this already.

No no no.

You definitely do NOT want to set "hwif->addressing" to 1 before you've tested whether it even _works_.

Imagine something like "hdparm" - other things are already in progress, the system is up, and IDE commands are potentially executing concurrently. What something like that wants to do is to send one request out to check whether 48-bit addressing works, but it absolutely does NOT want to set some interface-global flag that affects other commands.

Only after it has verified that 48-bit addressing does work should it set the global flag.

Yeah, we test drive capabilities properly in idedisk_setup(), but Linus is right speaking about _hwif_ capabilities.
Jens you your patch sets hwif->rqsize to 65535 in setup-pci.c for all PCI hwifs which is simply wrong as not all of them supports LBA48. You should check for hwif->addressing and if true set rqsize to 65536 (not 65535) and not in IDE PCI code but in ide_init_queue() in ide-probe.c. I also think that max request size should be printed for all drives, not only 48-bit capable.

Yes, but patch subtly breakes taskfile :-).

Taskfile ioctl uses do_rw_taskfile() or flagged_taskfile(). Patch replaces drive->adrressing checks by task->addressing, but ide_taskfile_ioctl() doesn't know about it so task->addressing will be always equal 0.

You should add checking for 48-bit commands and setting task->addressing to 1 if neccessary to ide_taskfile_ioctl().

Also changes for pdc202xx_old.c are wrong, we should check for task->addressing not rq_lba48(rq) as taskfile requests also use this codepath.

Patch also misses updates for many uses of drive->addressing (in ide.c, ide-io.c, icside.c, ide-tcq.c and even in ide-taskfile.c).

Jens you your patch sets hwif->rqsize to 65535 in setup-pci.c for all PCI hwifs which is simply wrong as not all of them supports LBA48. You should check for hwif->addressing and if true set rqsize to 65536 (not 65535) and not in IDE PCI code but in ide_init_queue() in ide-probe.c.

Yes you are right, that would be the best way of doing it. As it happens for that patch, it does not hurt or break anything. But it is certainly cleaner, I'll fix that up.

Quoted 2 lines

I also think that max request size should be printed for all drives, not only 48-bit capable.

Fine.

Quoted 5 lines

Imagine something like "hdparm" - other things are already in progress, the system is up, and IDE commands are potentially executing concurrently. What something like that wants to do is to send one request out to check whether 48-bit addressing works, but it absolutely does NOT want to set some interface-global flag that affects other commands.

Then it just puts a taskfile request on the request queue and lets it reach the drive, nicely syncronized with the other requests. There's no need to toggle any special bits for that.

Quoted 6 lines

Yes, but patch subtly breakes taskfile :-).

Taskfile ioctl uses do_rw_taskfile() or flagged_taskfile(). Patch replaces drive->adrressing checks by task->addressing, but ide_taskfile_ioctl() doesn't know about it so task->addressing will be always equal 0.

Uh yes, that is wrong!

Quoted 2 lines

You should add checking for 48-bit commands and setting task->addressing to 1 if neccessary to ide_taskfile_ioctl().

Right

Quoted 3 lines

Also changes for pdc202xx_old.c are wrong, we should check for task->addressing not rq_lba48(rq) as taskfile requests also use this codepath.

Ok

Quoted 2 lines

Patch also misses updates for many uses of drive->addressing (in ide.c, ide-io.c, icside.c, ide-tcq.c and even in ide-taskfile.c).

Hmm bad grep, weird.

Quoted 4 lines
Quoted 2 lines

Only after it has verified that 48-bit addressing does work should it set the global flag.

Sounds fine.

Jens, I like the general idea of the patch, but it needs some more work. Linus, please don't apply for now.

Agree, I'll update the patch to suit your concerns tomorrow.

That part is added, I still kept it at 65535 though akin to how we don't use that last sector in 28-bit commands either. For 48-bit commands this is totally irelevant, 32MiB or 32MiB-512b doesn't matter either way.

Looked over this part, and there is no (guarenteed) taskfile associated with the request. So care to expand on this point? As far as I can see, my current code is correct.

ide.c: ide_dump_status(). this is an ugly one, but to me it already looks correct. we are not throwing away any info by not reading the high bits.

ide-io.c, ide-tcq.c, icside.c: indeed, missed these.

Jens you your patch sets hwif->rqsize to 65535 in setup-pci.c for all PCI hwifs which is simply wrong as not all of them supports LBA48. You should check for hwif->addressing and if true set rqsize to 65536 (not 65535) and not in IDE PCI code but in ide_init_queue() in ide-probe.c.

Yes you are right, that would be the best way of doing it. As it happens for that patch, it does not hurt or break anything. But it is certainly cleaner, I'll fix that up.

That part is added, I still kept it at 65535 though akin to how we don't use that last sector in 28-bit commands either. For 48-bit commands this

No, ide_init_queue() sets it to 256, so I want 65536 too. Note that it should be done after setting queue max sectors to 256, because not only ide-disk depends on this code:

	max_sectors = 256;

What something like that wants to do is to send one request out to check whether 48-bit addressing works, but it absolutely does NOT want to set some interface-global flag that affects other commands.

Then it just puts a taskfile request on the request queue and lets it reach the drive, nicely syncronized with the other requests. There's no need to toggle any special bits for that.

Yes, but patch subtly breakes taskfile :-).

Taskfile ioctl uses do_rw_taskfile() or flagged_taskfile(). Patch replaces drive->adrressing checks by task->addressing, but ide_taskfile_ioctl() doesn't know about it so task->addressing will be always equal 0.

Uh yes, that is wrong!

Alright, as per comment this is forced to the drive->addressing now.

Quoted 3 lines

Also changes for pdc202xx_old.c are wrong, we should check for task->addressing not rq_lba48(rq) as taskfile requests also use this codepath.

Quoted 1 line

Ok

Looked over this part, and there is no (guarenteed) taskfile associated with the request. So care to expand on this point? As far as I can see, my current code is correct.

Yeah, I forgot that Linus' tree IDE is not based on taskfile IO yet. But anyway there are REQ_DRIVE_TASKFILE requests using this codepatch, so you should also check rq->flags & REQ_DRIVE_TASKFILE
and task->addreesing.

Quoted 4 lines
Quoted 2 lines

Patch also misses updates for many uses of drive->addressing (in ide.c, ide-io.c, icside.c, ide-tcq.c and even in ide-taskfile.c).

Hmm bad grep, weird.

ide.c: ide_dump_status(). this is an ugly one, but to me it already looks correct. we are not throwing away any info by not reading the high bits.

It should check for rq_lba48(rq) || task->addressing.
After taskfile IO switch it will be checking for task->addressing only.

ide-io.c, ide-tcq.c, icside.c: indeed, missed these.

Jens, I like the general idea of the patch, but it needs some more work. Linus, please don't apply for now.

Agree, I'll update the patch to suit your concerns tomorrow.

Apart from the pdc202xx_old part, I think I've addressed all of your concerns in this patch.

Nope ;-), please move setting of hwif->rqsize from setup-pci.c to where it belongs, ide_init_queue() in ide-probe.c.

Jens you your patch sets hwif->rqsize to 65535 in setup-pci.c for all PCI hwifs which is simply wrong as not all of them supports LBA48. You should check for hwif->addressing and if true set rqsize to 65536 (not 65535) and not in IDE PCI code but in ide_init_queue() in ide-probe.c.

Yes you are right, that would be the best way of doing it. As it happens for that patch, it does not hurt or break anything. But it is certainly cleaner, I'll fix that up.

That part is added, I still kept it at 65535 though akin to how we don't use that last sector in 28-bit commands either. For 48-bit commands this

No, ide_init_queue() sets it to 256, so I want 65536 too.

Alright, I don't care enough about that 1 sector to argue.

Quoted 17 lines

Note that it should be done after setting queue max sectors to 256, because not only ide-disk depends on this code:

	max_sectors = 256;

	(...)

	/*
	 * Added "< max_sectors" check for safety if it will
	 * be called again later with rq->size = 65536.
	 * I don't believe it ever is.
	*/
	if (hwif->rqsize < max_sectors)
		max_sectors = hwif->rqsize;
	blk_queue_max_sectors(q, max_sectors);
	if (!hwif->rqsize)
		hwif->rqsize = hwif->addressing ? 65536 : 256;

You have the logic reversed here, the hwif and drive addressing are reversed. Yeah, it's convoluted, dunno who thought that logic up...

This is really ugly, but it has to look like that until you make the global taskfile changes...

Jens you your patch sets hwif->rqsize to 65535 in setup-pci.c for all PCI hwifs which is simply wrong as not all of them supports LBA48. You should check for hwif->addressing and if true set rqsize to 65536 (not 65535) and not in IDE PCI code but in ide_init_queue() in ide-probe.c.

Yes you are right, that would be the best way of doing it. As it happens for that patch, it does not hurt or break anything. But it is certainly cleaner, I'll fix that up.

That part is added, I still kept it at 65535 though akin to how we don't use that last sector in 28-bit commands either. For 48-bit commands this

No, ide_init_queue() sets it to 256, so I want 65536 too.

Alright, I don't care enough about that 1 sector to argue.

Quoted 17 lines

Note that it should be done after setting queue max sectors to 256, because not only ide-disk depends on this code:

	max_sectors = 256;

	(...)

	/*
	 * Added "< max_sectors" check for safety if it will
	 * be called again later with rq->size = 65536.
	 * I don't believe it ever is.
	*/
	if (hwif->rqsize < max_sectors)
		max_sectors = hwif->rqsize;
	blk_queue_max_sectors(q, max_sectors);
	if (!hwif->rqsize)
		hwif->rqsize = hwif->addressing ? 65536 : 256;
Quoted 2 lines

You have the logic reversed here, the hwif and drive addressing are reversed. Yeah, it's convoluted, dunno who thought that logic up...

Not me.
Logic is to prevent some bugs and actually my comment "I don't believe it ever is." is totally wrong.

ide_init_queue() is called for all drives on hwif.

ie. failure scenario:
1st drive 48-bit: !rqsize -> max_sectors = 256, rqsize = 65536 2nd drive 28-bit: rqsize -> max_sectors = 65536 -> doh!

so "< max_sectors" is really needed.

It can look a bit saner:

	if (!hwif->rqsize)
		hwif->rqsize = hwif->addressing ? 65536 : 256;
	if (hwif->rqsize < max_sectors)
		max_sectors = hwif->rqsize;
	blk_queue_max_sectors(q, max_sectors);

Patch also misses updates for many uses of drive->addressing (in ide.c, ide-io.c, icside.c, ide-tcq.c and even in ide-taskfile.c).

Hmm bad grep, weird.

ide.c: ide_dump_status(). this is an ugly one, but to me it already looks correct. we are not throwing away any info by not reading the high bits.

It should check for rq_lba48(rq) || task->addressing.
After taskfile IO switch it will be checking for task->addressing only.

This is really ugly, but it has to look like that until you make the global taskfile changes...

Yep.

Jens, I like the general idea of the patch, but it needs some more work. Linus, please don't apply for now.

Agree, I'll update the patch to suit your concerns tomorrow.

Apart from the pdc202xx_old part, I think I've addressed all of your concerns in this patch.

Nope ;-), please move setting of hwif->rqsize from setup-pci.c to where it belongs, ide_init_queue() in ide-probe.c.

So how's this?

Looks good.
Now test/review it for some time, we don't want any bugs to slip in. :-)

btw, you didn't get this right this time either :-)

drive->addressing == 1, 48-bit is ok
hwif->addressing == 1, 48-bit is _not_ ok

below patch covers the lat change as well, boots and works on my router.

It is right.

hwif->rqsize means max rq size for _hwif_

drive->addressing == 1, 48-bit is ok

And?
Even if !drive->addressing, hwif->addressing can be 1, so hwif->rqsize can be 65536.

below patch covers the lat change as well, boots and works on my router.

Patch still misses pdx202xx_old.c changes :-).
Two new ones:

It is right.
hwif->addressing means hwif supports 48-bit

No it doesn't, that's what I keep saying:

static int probe_lba_addressing (ide_drive_t *drive, int arg)

{
        drive->addressing =  0;

        if (HWIF(drive)->addressing)
                return 0;

	...

so if hwif->addressing != 0, you will never allow 48-bit lba on any units on this hardware interface. So the correct logic is:

	hwif->rqsize = hwif->addressing ? 256 : 65536;

as in the patch.

Doesn't matter. I actually only thought about dma, in which case it doesn't matter because we never change sector or nr_sectors until after we have called ide_dma_end. For pio, it's no more reliable with hard_* than without. This is all for end_request context of course, at init time it's all the same. Essentially, we _need_ the taskfile changes for this to work. In that case we can limit rq_lba48() to init request time, and set task->addressing and use that from then on.

And the more important question, how are you creating the taskfile? If it's reachable from end_io context (and not just the submission path), which it must be to solve the problem was are discussing here, then surely it's not from the stack.

BTW, how about a minor compromise. See attached patch, I'd be happy with that for now. It _is_ essentially two seperate issues, right? One is getting good request sizes on 48-bit commands, the other is taking some decent advantage of 48-bit commands.

That came out totally wrong :-)

One issue is getting good request sizes on 48-bit commands (ie taking advantage of 48-bit commands). The other issue, which I left out, is cutting 48-bit lba overhead by not using it when not necessary. The attached patch deals with the former issue, obviously.

Maybe a define or two would help here. When you see drive->addressing and hwif->addressing, you assume that they are used identically. That !hwif->addressing means 48-bit is ok, while !drive->addressing means it's not does not help at all.

Why not just change the names? The current setup clearly is confusing, and adding defines doesn't much help. Rename the structure member so that the name says what it is, aka "address_mode", and when renaming it you'd go through the source anyway and change "!addressing" to something more readable like "address_mode == IDE_LBA48" or whatever.

How about something like the attached? Removes ->addressing from both drive and hwif, and adds:

drive->addr_mode: capability mask of addressing modes the drive supports hwif->na_addr_mode: negated capability mask

Patch isn't tested, so this is just a RFC. If we agree on the concept, I can finalize it.

That part is added, I still kept it at 65535 though akin to how we don't use that last sector in 28-bit commands either. For 48-bit commands this is totally irelevant, 32MiB or 32MiB-512b doesn't matter either way.

Actually I changed the LBA28 code to use the last sector a while ago. It has (unsuprisingly) caused zero problems because other OS's also generate such requests.

Yes, there is documentation in ntfs-tools about the kernel not being able to address the last sector like the Other OS does, and recommending to run chkdsk immediately after creating a new ntfs volume under Linux...

Completely different thing :-)

In my mail, 'the last sector' means issuing ata commands with 255 or 256 (the last one) sectors. 256 is special because it requires 0 for number of sectors, since it's a byte value.

I dunno what the purpose of that would be exactly, I guess to cater to some hardware odditites?

Wild guess: You can use larger transfer sizes with the 48 bit interface, even when adressing the lower 28 bit space?

This might be a win for applications that stream large contigous blocks from/to a HD (Video, Audio...)

Right, Jens basically does something like:

use_48_bits := (address+length > 2^28) || (length >= 2^16)

I dunno what the purpose of that would be exactly, I guess to cater to some hardware odditites?

Wild guess: You can use larger transfer sizes with the 48 bit interface, even when adressing the lower 28 bit space?

The ide-disk logic Jens did already switches to LBA48 for large requests as well as requests high up on the disk

At least if I read the patch correctly, theer's no way for upper layers to say "I want 48-bit addressing" - it's just turned on automatically for high sectors (or big transfers).

You read it incorrectly. The lower layers don't know about the issue at all. The disk layer does mapping (conceptually like READ6/READ10/READ16 in SCSI)

Raw I/O and other drivers can still issue CHS LBA28 and LBA48 taskfiles.

Well, you can mark the drive itself as wanting 48-bit transfers, but you can't do it on a per-request basis.

Its per request at the low level.

Thanks Alan, that is exactly right of course.

Linus has one point (I'll give him that), in that it might be beneficial to be able to say "48-bit always on" for fs requests. Ie exactly what ide-disk currently does.
