2009-04-07cfq-iosched: don't let idling interfere with pluggingJens Axboe1-8/+17
When CFQ is waiting for a new request from a process, currently it'll immediately restart queuing when it sees such a request. This doesn't work very well with streamed IO, since we then end up splitting IO that would otherwise have been merged nicely. For a simple dd test, this causes 10x as many requests to be issued as we should have. Normally this goes unnoticed due to the low overhead of requests at the device side, but some hardware is very sensitive to request sizes and there it can cause big slow downs.

2009-04-07block: remove unused REQ_UNPLUGJens Axboe1-2/+0
The request inherits the unplug flag from the bio, but it isn't actually used. The bio flag stops at __make_request(), which tells it to unplug after submission. Passing it on to the request doesn't make any sense. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-07cfq-iosched: kill two unused cfqq flagsJens Axboe1-14/+1
We only manipulate the must_dispatch and queue_new flags, they are not tested anymore. So get rid of them. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-04-07cfq-iosched: change dispatch logic to deal with single requests at the timeJens Axboe1-76/+90
The IO scheduler core calls into the IO scheduler dispatch_request hook to move requests from the IO scheduler and into the driver dispatch list. It only does so when the dispatch list is empty. CFQ moves several requests to the dispatch list, which can cause higher latencies if we suddenly have to switch to some important sync IO. Change the logic to move one request at the time instead. This should almost be functionally equivalent to what we did before, except that we now honor 'quantum' as the maximum queue depth at the device side from any single cfqq. If there's just a single active cfqq, we allow up to 4 times the normal quantum. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-04-06block: Add flag for telling the IO schedulers NOT to anticipate more IOJens Axboe2-1/+5
By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those. Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this flag.

2009-03-24bsg: add support for tail queuingBoaz Harrosh1-2/+7
Currently inherited from sg.c bsg will submit asynchronous request at the head-of-the-queue, (using "at_head" set in the call to blk_execute_rq_nowait()). This is bad in situation where the queues are full, requests will execute out of order, and can cause starvation of the first submitted requests. The sg_io_v4->flags member is used and a bit is allocated to denote the Q_AT_TAIL. Zero is to queue at_head as before, to be compatible with old code at the write/read path. SG_IO code path behavior was changed so to be the same as write/read behavior. SG_IO was very rarely used and breaking compatibility with it is OK at this stage. sg_io_hdr at sg.h also has a flags member and uses 3 bits from the first nibble and one bit from the last nibble. Even though none of these bits are supported by bsg, The second nibble is allocated for use by bsg. Just in case.

2009-02-18block: fix booting from partitioned md arrayNeil Brown1-0/+8
Hi Tejun, it looks like your commit: block: don't depend on consecutive minor space f331c0296f2a9fee0d396a70598b954062603015 broke a particular case for booting from partitioned md/raid devices. That is the second time this has been broken recently. The previous time was fixed by block: do_mounts - accept root=<non-existant partition> 30f2f0eb4bd2c43d10a8b0d872c6e5ad8f31c9a0 Because the data isn't available when an md device is first created (we add disks and set it up after creation), the initial partition scan finds nothing. It is not until the device is opened that another partition scan happens and finds something. So at the point where the kernel parameter "root=/dev/md_d0p1" is being parsed, md_d0 exists, but md_d0p1 does not. However if we let blk_lookup_devt return the correct device number even though the device doesn't exist, then the attempt to mount it will successfully find the partition. I have tried in the past to find a way to get the partition table to be read as soon as the array is assembled but that proved impossible (at the time). I don't remember the details, and could possibly revisit it. However it would be really nice if blk_lookup_devt could be adjusted to again accept non existant partitions.

2009-02-18block: fix bad definition of BIO_RW_SYNCJens Axboe1-1/+1
We can't OR shift values, so get rid of BIO_RW_SYNC and use BIO_RW_SYNCIO and BIO_RW_UNPLUG explicitly. This brings back the behaviour from before 213d9417fec62ef4c3675621b9364a667954d4dd. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-02-18bsg: Fix sense buffer bug in SG_IOBoaz Harrosh1-7/+10
When submitting requests via SG_IO, which does a sync io, a bsg_command is not allocated. So an in-Kernel sense_buffer was not set. However when calling blk_execute_rq() with no sense buffer one is provided from the stack. Now bsg at blk_complete_sgv4_hdr_rq() would check if rq->sense_len and a sense was requested by sg_io_v4 the rq->sense was copy_user() back, but by now it is already mangled stack memory. I have fixed that by forcing a sense_buffer when calling bsg_map_hdr(). The bsg_command->sense is provided in the write/read path like before, and on-the-stack buffer is provided when doing SG_IO. I have also fixed a dprintk message to print rq->errors in hex because of the scsi bit-field use of this member. For other block devices it does not matter anyway.

2009-02-06tracing: Introduce trace_buffer_{lock_reserve,unlock_commit}Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo1-15/+6
Impact: new API These new functions do what previously was being open coded, reducing the number of details ftrace plugin writers have to worry about. It also standardizes the handling of stacktrace, userstacktrace and other trace options we may introduce in the future. With this patch, for instance, the blk tracer (and some others already in the tree) can use the "userstacktrace" /d/tracing/trace_options facility. $ codiff /tmp/vmlinux.before /tmp/vmlinux.after linux-2.6-tip/kernel/trace/trace.c: trace_vprintk | -5 trace_graph_return | -22 trace_graph_entry | -26 trace_function | -45 __ftrace_trace_stack | -27 ftrace_trace_userstack | -29 tracing_sched_switch_trace | -66 tracing_stop | +1 trace_seq_to_user | -1 ftrace_trace_special | -63 ftrace_special | +1 tracing_sched_wakeup_trace | -70 tracing_reset_online_cpus | -1 13 functions changed, 2 bytes added, 355 bytes removed, diff: -353 linux-2.6-tip/block/blktrace.c: __blk_add_trace | -58 1 function changed, 58 bytes removed, diff: -58 linux-2.6-tip/kernel/trace/trace.c: trace_buffer_lock_reserve | +88 trace_buffer_unlock_commit | +86 2 functions changed, 174 bytes added, diff: +174 /tmp/vmlinux.after: 16 functions changed, 176 bytes added, 413 bytes removed, diff: -237 Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Acked-by: Frédéric Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
