2005-08-29[NET]: Kill skb->real_devDavid S. Miller1-1/+1
Bonding just wants the device before the skb_bond() decapsulation occurs, so simply pass that original device into packet_type->func() as an argument. It remains to be seen whether we can use this same exact thing to get rid of skb->input_dev as well. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2005-08-24[PATCH] cfq-iosched.c: minor fixesJens Axboe1-10/+21
One critical fix and two minor fixes for 2.6.13-rc7: - Max depth must currently be 2 to allow barriers to function on SCSI - Prefer sync request over async in choosing the next request - Never allow async request to preempt or disturb the "anticipation" for a single cfq process context. This is as-designed, the code right now is buggy in that area. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-08-05[PATCH] blk: fix tag shrinking (revive real_max_size)Tejun Heo1-3/+15
My patch in commit fa72b903f75e4f0f0b2c2feed093005167da4023 incorrectly removed blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth. The original resize implementation was incorrect in the following points. * actual allocation size of tag_index was shorter than real_max_size, but assumed to be of the same size, possibly causing memory access beyond the allocated area. * bits in tag_map between max_deptn and real_max_depth were initialized to 1's, making the tags permanently reserved. In an attempt to fix above two bugs, I had removed allocation optimization in init_tag_map and real_max_size. Tag map/index were allocated and freed immediately during resize. Unfortunately, I wasn't considering that tag map/index can be resized dynamically with tags beyond new_depth active. This led to accessing freed area after shrinking tags and led to the following bug reporting thread on linux-scsi. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112319898111885&w=2 To fix the problem, I've revived real_max_depth without allocation optimization in init_tag_map, and Andrew Vasquez confirmed that the problem was fixed. As Jens is not going to be available for a week, he asked me to make sure that this patch reaches you. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112325778530886&w=2 Also, a comment was added to make sure that real_max_size is needed for dynamic shrinking.

2005-08-02[PATCH] cfq-iosched: fix problem with barriers and max_depth == 1Jens Axboe1-0/+1
CFQ will currently stall when using write barriers and the default max_depth setting of 1, since we artificially need a depth of 2 when pre-pending the first flush. So never deny the barrier request going to the device. This is a regression since 2.6.12, it was found in SUSE testing.

2005-07-28[PATCH] cciss per disk queueMike Miller2-25/+28
This patch adds per disk queue functionality to cciss. Sometime back I submitted a patch but it looks like only part of what I needed. In the 2.6 kernel if we have more than one logical volume the driver will Oops during rmmod. It seems all of the queues actually point back to the same queue. So after deleting the first volume you hit a null pointer on the second one. This has been tested in our labs. There is no difference in performance, it just fixes the Oops.

This patch fixes a microcode lockup in my CD-ROM adapters when a blank CD is inserted. However, do not try to burn CDs yet! I'm pretty sure that trying it will end in coasters. - Fix a few cases where we were unable to resynchronize with replies for previous commands. The main thing is to keep reading replies in case of a stall. This is done with the new state CLRRS. - Since I am forgetting the basic state machine already, document it. - Move counter increments in the looping path in its own function. - Fix a harmless buglet in case CSW read fails to submit: do not override state. - Implement the Alan Stern's idea for adaptive signature checking.

Both of which aren't needed, because the io context can only be created while in process context of the current process. Also, split the function in 2.

2005-06-28[PATCH] blk: __make_request efficiencyNick Piggin1-41/+21
In the case where the request is not able to be merged by the elevator, don't retake the lock and retry the merge mechanism after allocating a new request. Instead assume that the chance of a merge remains slim, and now that we've done most of the work allocating a request we may as well just go with it. Also be rid of the GFP_ATOMIC allocation: we've got working mempools for the block layer now, so let's save atomic memory for things like networking. Lastly, in get_request_wait, do an initial get_request call before going into the waitqueue. This is reported to help efficiency.

2005-06-28[PATCH] ll_rw_blk: prevent huge request allocationsJens Axboe1-0/+9
Currently we cap request allocations at q->nr_requests, but we allow a batching io context to allocate up to 32 more (default setting). This can flood the queue with request allocations, with only a few batching processes. The real fix would be to limit the number of batchers, but as that isn't currently tracked, I suggest we just cap the maximum number of allocated requests to eg 50% over the limit. This was observed in real life, users typically see this as vmstat bo numbers going off the wall with seconds of no queueing afterwards. Behaviour this bursty is not beneficial.

If cfq is managing a queue and a new scheduler is later selected, it is possible for the cfqd unplug_work work to be queued after the kblockd work struct has been flushed. The problem is the ordering of cfq_shutdown_timer_wq() and blk_put_queue() in cfq_put_cfqd(). The latter may rearm the work, leaving cfq_kick_queue() with dead data.

2005-06-27[PATCH] CFQ io scheduler updatesJens Axboe1-161/+299
- Adjust slice values - Instead of one async queue, one is defined per priority level. This prevents kernel threads (such as reiserfs/x and others) that run at higher io priority from conflicting with others. Previously, it was a coin toss what io prio the async queue got, it was defined by who first set up the queue. - Let a time slice only begin, when the previous slice is completely done. Previously we could be somewhat unfair to a new sync slice, if the previous slice was async and had several ios queued. This might need a little tweaking if throughput suffers a little due to this, allowing perhaps an overlap of a single request or so. - Optimize the calling of kblockd_schedule_work() by doing it only when it is strictly necessary (no requests in driver and work left to do). - Correct sync vs async logic. A 'normal' process can be purely async as well, and a flusher can be purely sync as well. Sync or async is now a property of the class defined and requests pending. Previously writers could be considered sync, when they were really async. - Get rid of the bit fields in cfqq and crq, use flags instead. - Various other cleanups and fixes Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-27[PATCH] Fix cfq_find_next_crq()Jens Axboe1-1/+2
In cfq_find_next_crq(), cfq tries to find the next request by choosing one of two requests before and after the current one. Currently, when choosing the next request, if there's no next request, the next candidate is NULL, resulting in selection of the previous request. This results in weird scheduling. Once we reach the end, we always seek backward. The correct behavior is using the first request as the next candidate. cfq_choose_req() already has logics for handling wrapped requests.

Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check PF_FROZEN).

As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as well, which looks like a bug. I have checked that every user of disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().

This memory barrier is not needed because the waitqueue will only get waiters on it in the following situations: rq->count has exceeded the threshold - however all manipulations of ->count are performed under the runqueue lock, and so we will correctly pick up any waiter. Memory allocation for the request fails. In this case, there is no additional help provided by the memory barrier. We are guaranteed to eventually wake up waiters because the request allocation mempool guarantees that if the mem allocation for a request fails, there must be some requests in flight. They will wake up waiters when they are retired.

2005-06-17When cfq I/O scheduler is selected, get_request() in __make_request() callsKiyoshi Ueda1-3/+6
__cfq_get_queue(). __cfq_get_queue() finds an existing queue (struct cfq_queue) of the current process for the device and returns it. If it's not found, __cfq_get_queue() creates and returns a new one if __cfq_get_queue() is called with __GFP_WAIT flag, or __cfq_get_queue() returns NULL (this means that get_request() fails) if no __GFP_WAIT flag. On the other hand, in __make_request(), get_request() is called without __GFP_WAIT flag at the first time. Thus, the get_request() fails when there is no existing queue, typically when it's called for the first I/O request of the process to the device. Though it will be followed by get_request_wait() for general case, __make_request() will just end the I/O with an error (EWOULDBLOCK) when the request was for read-ahead.

2005-06-16 This patch fixes q->unplug_thresh condition check inTejun Heo1-1/+1
__elv_add_request(). rq.count[READ] + rq.count[WRITE] can increase more than one if another thread has allocated a request after the current request is allocated or in_flight could have changed resulting in larger-than-one change of nrq, thus breaking the threshold mechanism.
