2006-09-30[PATCH] Update axboe@suse.de email addressJens Axboe9-12/+12

2006-09-30[PATCH] fix creating zero sized bio mempools in low memory systemMilan Broz1-1/+1
In the very low memory systems is in the init_bio call scale parameter set to zero and it leads to creating zero sized mempool. This patch prevents pool_entries parameter become zero, so the created pool have at least 1 entry. Mempool with 0 entries lead to incorrect behaviour of mempool_free. (Alloc requests are not waken up and system stalls in mempool_alloc->ioschedule). Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2006-09-30[PATCH] CONFIG_BLOCK: blk_congestion_wait() fixAndrew Morton1-2/+5

2006-09-30[PATCH] BLOCK: Make USB storage depend on SCSI rather than selecting it [try #6]David Howells1-3/+2
This makes CONFIG_USB_STORAGE depend on CONFIG_SCSI rather than selecting it, as selecting it makes CONFIG_USB_STORAGE override the dependencies of SCSI, causing it to turn on even if they aren't all met. Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
2006-09-30[PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]David Howells44-63/+308
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.

2006-09-30[PATCH] exit_io_context: don't disable irqsOleg Nesterov1-5/+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.

2006-09-30[PATCH] ll_rw_blk: allow more flexibility for read_ahead_kb storeJens Axboe1-3/+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. Issue also reported by Anton <cbou@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-09-30[PATCH] cfq-iosched: improve queue preemptionJens Axboe1-6/+8

2006-09-30[PATCH] Add blk_start_queueing() helperJens Axboe4-25/+26
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>
2006-09-30[PATCH] cfq-iosched: kill the empty_listJens Axboe1-8/+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>
2006-09-30[PATCH] cfq-iosched: Kill O(N) runtime of cfq_resort_rr_list()Jens Axboe1-31/+22
Currently it scales with number of processes in that priority group, which is potentially not very nice as it's called quite often. Basically we always need to do tail inserts, except for the case of a new process. So just mark/detect a queue as such. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

2006-09-30[PATCH] elevator: define ioc counting mechanismJens Axboe1-0/+25
None of the in-kernel primitives for handling "atomic" counting seem to be a good fit. We need something that is essentially free for incrementing/decrementing, while the read side may be more expensive as we only ever need to do that when a device is removed from the kernel. Use a per-cpu variable for maintaining a per-cpu ioc count and define a reading mechanism that just sums up the values. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-09-30[PATCH] cfq-iosched: kill cfq_exit_lockJens Axboe4-41/+21
cfq_exit_lock is protecting two things now: - The per-ioc rbtree of cfq_io_contexts - The per-cfqd linked list of cfq_io_contexts The per-cfqd linked list can be protected by the queue lock, as it is (by definition) per cfqd as the queue lock is. The per-ioc rbtree is mainly used and updated by the process itself only. The only outside use is the io priority changing. If we move the priority changing to not browsing the rbtree, we can remove any locking from the rbtree updates and lookup completely. Let the sys_ioprio syscall just mark processes as having the iopriority changed and lazily update the private cfq io contexts the next time io is queued, and we can remove this locking as well.

2006-09-30[PATCH] cfq-iosched: cleanups, fixes, dead code removalJens Axboe1-114/+70
A collection of little fixes and cleanups: - We don't use the 'queued' sysfs exported attribute, since the may_queue() logic was rewritten. So kill it. - Remove dead defines. - cfq_set_active_queue() can be rewritten cleaner with else if conditions. - Several places had cfq_exit_cfqq() like logic, abstract that out and use that. - Annotate the cfqq kmem_cache_alloc() so the allocator knows that this is a repeat allocation if it fails with __GFP_WAIT set. Allows the allocator to start freeing some memory, if needed. CFQ already loops for this condition, so might as well pass the hint down. - Remove cfqd->rq_starved logic. It's not needed anymore after we dropped the crq allocation in cfq_set_request(). - Remove uneeded parameter passing. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

2006-09-30[PATCH] Remove ->rq_status from struct requestJens Axboe12-26/+14
After Christophs SCSI change, the only usage left is RQ_ACTIVE and RQ_INACTIVE. The block layer sets RQ_INACTIVE right before freeing the request, so any check for RQ_INACTIVE in a driver is a bug and indicates use-after-free. So kill/clean the remaining users, straight forward.

2006-09-30[PATCH] Remove struct request_list from struct requestJens Axboe2-9/+4

2006-09-30[PATCH] Remove ->waiting member from struct requestJens Axboe9-25/+20
