2007-12-18block: let elv_register() return voidAdrian Bunk5-11/+12
elv_register() always returns 0, and there isn't anything it does where it should return an error (the only error condition is so grave that it's handled with a BUG_ON). Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-12-18as-iosched: fix write batch start pointAaron Carroll1-1/+2
New write batches currently start from where the last one completed. We have no idea where the head is after switching batches, so this makes little sense. Instead, start the next batch from the request with the earliest deadline in the hope that we avoid a deadline expiry later on.

2007-11-27blktrace: Make sure BLKTRACETEARDOWN does the full cleanup.Aneesh Kumar K.V1-2/+7
if blktrace program segfault it will not be able to call BLKTRACETEARDOWN. Now if we run the blktrace again that would result in a failure to create the block/<device> debugfs directory.This will result in blk_remove_root() to be called which will set blk_tree_root to NULL. But the debugfs block dir still exist because it contain subdirectory. Now if we try to fix it using BLKTRACETEARDOWN it won't work because blk_tree_root is NULL. Fix the same. Tested as below root@qemu-image:/home/kvaneesh/blktrace# ./blktrace -d /dev/hdc Segmentation fault root@qemu-image:/home/kvaneesh/blktrace# ./blktrace -d /dev/hdc BLKTRACESETUP: No such file or directory Failed to start trace on /dev/hdc root@qemu-image:/home/kvaneesh/blktrace# ./blktrace -k /dev/hdc root@qemu-image:/home/kvaneesh/blktrace# ./blktrace -d /dev/hdc Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-11-09block: fix requeue handling in blk_queue_invalidate_tags()Jens Axboe1-15/+2
Credit goes to juergen.kadidlo@exasol.com for diagnosing this issue and supplying the initial patch. blk_queue_invalidate_tags() must use the proper requeueing paths instead of open coding the re-add of the request, otherwise we bug out in rq accounting. Just switch to using blk_requeue_request(), that takes care of end-tag handling as well and also adds the blktrace REQUEUE notify event that is also appropriate here.

2007-11-07cfq_idle_class_timer: add paranoid checks for jiffies overflowOleg Nesterov1-11/+17
In theory, if the queue was idle long enough, cfq_idle_class_timer may have a false (and very long) timeout because jiffies can wrap into the past wrt ->last_end_request. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-11-07cfq: fix IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE delaysOleg Nesterov1-0/+1
After the fresh boot: ionice -c3 -p $$ echo cfq >> /sys/block/XXX/queue/scheduler dd if=/dev/XXX of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1 Now dd hangs in D state and the queue is completely stalled for approximately INITIAL_JIFFIES + CFQ_IDLE_GRACE jiffies. This is because cfq_init_queue() forgets to initialize cfq_data->last_end_request. (I guess this patch is not complete, overflow is still possible) Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-11-02Deadline iosched: Fix batching fairnessAaron Carroll1-14/+7
After switching data directions, deadline always starts the next batch from the lowest-sector request. This gives excessive deadline expiries and large latency and throughput disparity between high- and low-sector requests; an order of magnitude in some tests. This patch changes the batching behaviour so new batches start from the request whose expiry is earliest.

2007-11-02Deadline iosched: Reset batch for ordered requestsAaron Carroll1-3/+3
The deadline I/O scheduler does not reset the batch count when starting a new batch at a higher-sectored request. This means the second and subsequent batch in the same data direction will never exceed a single request in size whenever higher-sectored requests are pending. This patch gives new batches in the same data direction as old ones their full quota of requests by resetting the batch count.

2007-11-02[SG] Get rid of __sg_mark_end()Jens Axboe1-1/+1
sg_mark_end() overwrites the page_link information, but all users want __sg_mark_end() behaviour where we just set the end bit. That is the most natural way to use the sg list, since you'll fill it in and then mark the end point. So change sg_mark_end() to only set the termination bit. Add a sg_magic debug check as well, and clear a chain pointer if it is set. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-10-29[BLOCK] Fix bad sharing of tag busy list on queues with shared tag mapsJens Axboe1-5/+3
For the locking to work, only the tag map and tag bit map may be shared (incidentally, I was just explaining this to Nick yesterday, but I apparently didn't review the code well enough myself). But we also share the busy list! The busy_list must be queue private, or we need a block_queue_tag covering lock as well. So we have to move the busy_list to the queue. This'll work fine, and it'll actually also fix a problem with blk_queue_invalidate_tags() which will invalidate tags across all shared queues. This is a bit confusing, the low level driver should call it for each queue seperately since otherwise you cannot kill tags on just a single queue for eg a hard drive that stops responding. Since the function has no callers currently, it's not an issue. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Note that this isn't a bug at the moment, since the regular IO path does not call this path without __GFP_WAIT set. However, it could be a future bug, so I've applied it. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-10-24SG: Change sg_set_page() to take length and offset argumentJens Axboe1-3/+1

2007-10-23[BLOCK] blk_rq_map_sg: force clear termination bitJens Axboe1-1/+13
Since blk_rq_map_sg() sets the termination bit at the end of the sg table, we could see it prematurely on the next mapping unless we force drivers to do a full sg_init_table() prior to each mapping. So force clear the termination bit to avoid having to put that clear in the driver for every mapping. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

The task_struct->pid member is going to be deprecated, so start using the helpers (task_pid_nr/task_pid_vnr/task_pid_nr_ns) in the kernel. The first thing to start with is the pid, printed to dmesg - in this case we may safely use task_pid_nr(). Besides, printks produce more (much more) than a half of all the explicit pid usage.
