* [PATCH] elevator: move clearing of unplug flag earlierLinas Vepstas2007-01-231-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A flag was recently added to the elevator code to avoid performing an unplug when reuests are being re-queued. The goal of this flag was to avoid a deep recursion that can occur when re-queueing requests after a SCSI device/host reset. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/17/254 However, that fix added the flag near the bottom of a case statement, where an earlier break (in an if statement) could transport one out of the case, without setting the flag. This patch sets the flag earlier in the case statement. I re-discovered the deep recursion recently during testing; I was told that it was a known problem, and the fix to it was in the kernel I was testing. Indeed it was ... but it didn't fix the bug. With the patch below, I no longer see the bug.

* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: merging problemJens Axboe2007-01-021-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Two issues: - The final return 1 should be a return 0, otherwise comparing cfqq is a noop. - bio_sync() only checks the sync flag, while rq_is_sync() checks both for READ and sync. The latter is what we want. Expand the bio check to include reads, and relax the restriction to allow merging of async io into sync requests. In the future we want to clean up the SYNC logic, right now it means both sync request (such as READ and O_DIRECT WRITE) and unplug-on-issue. Leave that for later.

* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: tighten allow merge criteriaJens Axboe2006-12-221-13/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | The logic in cfq_allow_merge() wasn't clear enough - basically allow merging for the same queues only. Do a fast check for 'rq and bio both sync/async' before doing the cfqq hash lookup. This is verified to work with the fixed elv_try_merge() from commit bb4067e34159648d394943d5e2a011f838bff22f.

| | | | | | | | | | | | The recent io scheduler allow_merge commit left the block layer with no merging, oops. This patch fixes that up.

* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: don't allow sync merges across queuesJens Axboe2006-12-202-4/+55
| | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we allow any merge, even if the io originates from different processes. This can cause really bad starvation and unfairness, if those ios happen to be synchronous (reads or direct writes). So add a allow_merge hook to the io scheduler ops, so an io scheduler can help decide whether a bio/process combination may be merged with an existing request.

* [PATCH] Fixup blk_rq_unmap_user() APIJens Axboe2006-12-192-14/+17
| | | | | | | | | The blk_rq_unmap_user() API is not very nice. It expects the caller to know that rq->bio has to be reset to the original bio, and it will silently do nothing if that is not done. Instead make it explicit that we need to pass in the first bio, by expecting a bio argument. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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().

* / | 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>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion". Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept. The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core backing-dev congestion functions. This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Export the clear_queue_congested() and set_queue_congested() functions located in ll_rw_blk.c The functions are renamed to blk_clear_queue_congested() and blk_set_queue_congested(). (needed in the pktcdvd driver's bio write congestion control) Signed-off-by: Thomas Maier <balagi@justmail.de> Cc: Peter Osterlund <petero2@telia.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] helper function for retrieving scsi_cmd given host based block layer tagDavid C Somayajulu2006-10-041-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | | This was necessitated by the need for a function to get back to a scsi_cmnd, when an hba the posts its (corresponding) completion interrupt with a block layer tag as its reference.

* [PATCH] dm: export blkdev_driver_ioctlAlasdair G Kergon2006-10-031-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | Export blkdev_driver_ioctl for device-mapper. If we get as far as the device-mapper ioctl handler, we know the ioctl is not a standard block layer BLK* one, so we don't need to check for them a second time and can call blkdev_driver_ioctl() directly.
