| * [BLOCK] as-iosched: update alias handlingTejun Heo2006-01-061-119/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unlike other ioscheds, as-iosched handles alias by chaing them using rq->queuelist. As aliased requests are very rare in the first place, this complicates merge/dispatch handling without meaningful performance improvement. This patch updates as-iosched to dump aliased requests into dispatch queue as other ioscheds do. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* | [PATCH] s390: cleanup KconfigMartin Schwidefsky2006-01-061-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | Sanitize some s390 Kconfig options. We have ARCH_S390, ARCH_S390X, ARCH_S390_31, 64BIT, S390_SUPPORT and COMPAT. Replace these 6 options by S390, 64BIT and COMPAT.

| * [PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"Kay Sievers2006-01-041-24/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports the state to userspace and generates events.

| * [SCSI] seperate max_sectors from max_hw_sectorsMike Christie2005-12-152-9/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - export __blk_put_request and blk_execute_rq_nowait needed for async REQ_BLOCK_PC requests - seperate max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for block/scsi_ioctl.c and SG_IO bio.c helpers per Jens's last comments. Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low value to overcome memory and feedback issues. Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024, drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

* [PATCH] as-iosched: remove state assertion in as_add_request()Jens Axboe2005-11-211-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | Kill the arq->state poison statement in as_add_request(), it can trigger for perfectly valid code that just reuses a request after io completion instead of freeing it and allocating a new one. We probably should introduce a blk_init_request() to start from scratch, but for now just kill it as we will be removing the as specific poisoning soon.

* [BLOCK] elevator: elv_latter/former_request updateTejun Heo2005-11-121-14/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | With generic dispatch queue update, implicit former/latter request handling using rq->queuelist.prev/next doesn't work as expected anymore. Also, the only iosched dependent on this feature was noop-iosched and it has been reimplemented to have its own latter/former methods. This patch removes implicit former/latter handling.

* [BLOCK] noop-iosched: reimplementation of request dispatchingTejun Heo2005-11-121-6/+79
| | | | | | | | | | | | The original implementation directly used dispatch queue. As new generic dispatch queue imposes stricter rules over ioscheds and dispatch queue usage, this direct use becomes somewhat problematic. This patch reimplements noop-iosched such that it complies to generic iosched model better. Request merging with q->last_merge and rq->queuelist.prev/next work again now.

* [BLOCK] cfq-iosched: fix slice_left calculationTejun Heo2005-11-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | When cfq slice expires, remainder of slice is calculated and stored in cfqq->slice_left. Current code calculates the opposite of remainder - how many jiffies the cfqq has used past slice end. This patch fixes the bug.

* [BLOCK] fix string handling in elv_iosched_storeTejun Heo2005-11-121-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | elv_iosched_store doesn't terminate string passed from userspace if it's too long. Also, if the written length is zero (probably not possible), it accesses elevator_name[-1].

* [BLOCK] Implement elv_drain_elevator for improved switch error detectionTejun Heo2005-11-121-5/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which performs forced dispatching. elv_drain_elevator checks whether iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error message if it doesn't. As buggy forced dispatching can result in wrong barrier operations, I think this extra check is worthwhile. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

* [BLOCK] elevator init fixesZachary Amsden2005-11-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I got a panic in the elevator code, backtrace : Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000060 .. EIP is at elevator_put+0x0/0x30 (null elevator_type passed) .. elevator_init+0x38 blk_init_queu_node+0xc9 floppy_init+0xdb do_initcalls+0x23 init+0x10a init+0x0 Clearly if the kmalloc here fails, e->elevator_type is not yet set; this appears to be the correct fix, but I think I probably hit the second case due to a race condition. Someone more familiar with the elevator code should look at this more closely until I can determine if I can reproduce.
