* [PATCH] remove blk_queue_activity_fnBoaz Harrosh2006-12-121-12/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While working on bidi support at struct request level I have found that blk_queue_activity_fn is actually never used. The only user is in ide-probe.c with this code: /* enable led activity for disk drives only */ if (drive->media == ide_disk && hwif->led_act) blk_queue_activity_fn(q, hwif->led_act, drive); And led_act is never initialized anywhere. (Looking back at older kernels it was used in the PPC arch, but was removed around 2.6.18) Unless it is all for future use off course.

* [PATCH] fault-injection capability for disk IOAkinobu Mita2006-12-082-0/+71
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides fault-injection capability for disk IO. Boot option: fail_make_request=<probability>,<interval>,<space>,<times> <interval> -- specifies the interval of failures. <probability> -- specifies how often it should fail in percent. <space> -- specifies the size of free space where disk IO can be issued safely in bytes. <times> -- specifies how many times failures may happen at most. Debugfs: /debug/fail_make_request/interval /debug/fail_make_request/probability /debug/fail_make_request/specifies /debug/fail_make_request/times Example: fail_make_request=10,100,0,-1 echo 1 > /sys/blocks/hda/hda1/make-it-fail generic_make_request() on /dev/hda1 fails once per 10 times.

* [PATCH] Allow NULL pointers in percpu_freeAlan Stern2006-12-071-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The patch (as824b) makes percpu_free() ignore NULL arguments, as one would expect for a deallocation routine. (Note that free_percpu is #defined as percpu_free in include/linux/percpu.h.) A few callers are updated to remove now-unneeded tests for NULL. A few other callers already seem to assume that passing a NULL pointer to percpu_free() is okay! The patch also removes an unnecessary NULL check in percpu_depopulate().

This helps user space correlate block trace events with eg an application strace. This requires a (compatible) update to blkparse. The changed blkparse is still able to process traces generated by older kernels, and older versions of blkparse should silently ignore the new records (because they have a pid of 0).

* / | WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context dataDavid Howells2006-11-223-10/+13
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
* | [PATCH] scsi: clear garbage after CDBs on SG_IOTejun Heo2006-11-161-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ATAPI devices transfer fixed number of bytes for CDBs (12 or 16).

* [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]David Howells2006-09-303-1/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require the block layer to be present. This patch does the following: (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev support. (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls an item that uses the block layer. This includes: (*) Block I/O tracing. (*) Disk partition code. (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS. (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities - such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this. (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM drivers. (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL. (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book. (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is, however, still used in places, and so is still available. (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and parts of linux/fs.h. (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK is not enabled. (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set: (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening). (*) Makes some /proc changes: (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs. (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified. (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2. (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so). (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

* [PATCH] blktrace: cleanup using on_each_cpuMartin Peschke2006-09-301-15/+4
| | | | | | | | This patch kills a few lines of code in blktrace by making use of on_each_cpu(). Signed-off-by: Martin Peschke <mp3@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
* [PATCH] exit_io_context: don't disable irqsOleg Nesterov2006-09-301-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't need to disable irqs to clear current->io_context, it is protected by ->alloc_lock. Even IF it was possible to submit I/O from IRQ on behalf of current this irq_disable() can't help: current_io_context() will re-instantiate ->io_context after irq_enable(). We don't need task_lock() or local_irq_disable() to clear ioc->task. This can't prevent other CPUs from playing with our io_context anyway.

* [PATCH] blktrace: support for logging metadata readsJens Axboe2006-09-301-1/+4

* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: use metadata read flagJens Axboe2006-09-301-0/+24
| | | | | | | | Give meta data reads preference over regular reads, as the process often needs to get that out of the way to do the io it was actually interested in. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] Allow file systems to differentiate between data and meta readsJens Axboe2006-09-301-0/+2
| | | | | | | We can use this information for making more intelligent priority decisions, and it will also be useful for blktrace. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] ll_rw_blk: allow more flexibility for read_ahead_kb storeJens Axboe2006-09-301-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | It can make sense to set read-ahead larger than a single request. We should not be enforcing such policy on the user. Additionally, using the BLKRASET ioctl doesn't impose such a restriction. So additionally we now expose identical behaviour through the two.

* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: improve queue preemptionJens Axboe2006-09-301-6/+8
| | | | | | | Don't touch the current queues, just make sure that the wanted queue is selected next. Simplifies the logic. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] Add blk_start_queueing() helperJens Axboe2006-09-303-25/+25
| | | | | | | | | | CFQ implements this on its own now, but it's really block layer knowledge. Tells a device queue to start dispatching requests to the driver, taking care to unplug if needed. Also fixes the issue where as/cfq will invoke a stopped queue, which we really don't want. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: kill the empty_listJens Axboe2006-09-301-8/+2
| | | | | | | No point in having a place holder list just for empty queues, so remove it. It's not used for anything other than to keep ->cfq_list busy. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
