2009-07-01block: get rid of queue-private command filterJens Axboe
The initial patches to support this through sysfs export were broken and have been if 0'ed out in any release. So lets just kill the code and reclaim some space in struct request_queue, if anyone would later like to fixup the sysfs bits, the git history can easily restore the removed bits.

2009-07-01block: Create bip slabs with embedded integrity vectorsMartin K. Petersen
This patch restores stacking ability to the block layer integrity infrastructure by creating a set of dedicated bip slabs. Each bip slab has an embedded bio_vec array at the end. This cuts down on memory allocations and also simplifies the code compared to the original bvec version. Only the largest bip slab is backed by a mempool. The pool is contained in the bio_set so stacking drivers can ensure forward progress. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@carl.(none)>
2009-07-01cfq-iosched: get rid of the need for __GFP_NOFAIL in cfq_find_alloc_queue()Jens Axboe
Setup an emergency fallback cfqq that we allocate at IO scheduler init time. If the slab allocation fails in cfq_find_alloc_queue(), we'll just punt IO to that cfqq instead. This ensures that cfq_find_alloc_queue() never fails without having to ensure free memory. On cfqq lookup, always try to allocate a new cfqq if the given cfq io context has the oom_cfqq assigned. This ensures that we only temporarily punt to this shared queue. Reviewed-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-07-01cfq-iosched: move cfqq initialization out of cfq_find_alloc_queue()Jens Axboe

2009-07-01md: use interruptible wait when duration is controlled by userspace.NeilBrown
User space can set various limits on an md array so that resync waits when it gets to a certain point, or so that I/O is blocked for a short while. When md is waiting against one of these limit, it should use an interruptible wait so as not to add to the load average, and so are not to trigger a warning if the wait goes on for too long.

2009-07-01md/raid5: suspend shouldn't affect read requests.NeilBrown

2009-06-30Revert "ipv4: arp announce, arp_proxy and windows ip conflict verification"Eric W. Biederman
This reverts commit 73ce7b01b4496a5fbf9caf63033c874be692333f. After discovering that we don't listen to gratuitious arps in 2.6.30 I tracked the failure down to this commit. The patch makes absolutely no sense. RFC2131 RFC3927 and RFC5227. are all in agreement that an arp request with sip == 0 should be used for the probe (to prevent learning) and an arp request with sip == tip should be used for the gratitous announcement that people can learn from. It appears the author of the broken patch got those two cases confused and modified the code to drop all gratuitous arp traffic. Ouch! Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2009-06-30mm: prevent balance_dirty_pages() from doing too much workRichard Kennedy
balance_dirty_pages can overreact and move all of the dirty pages to writeback unnecessarily. balance_dirty_pages makes its decision to throttle based on the number of dirty plus writeback pages that are over the calculated limit,so it will continue to move pages even when there are plenty of pages in writeback and less than the threshold still dirty. This allows it to overshoot its limits and move all the dirty pages to writeback while waiting for the drives to catch up and empty the writeback list. A simple fio test easily demonstrates this problem. fio --name=f1 --directory=/disk1 --size=2G -rw=write --name=f2 --directory=/disk2 --size=1G --rw=write --startdelay=10 This is the simplest fix I could find, but I'm not entirely sure that it alone will be enough for all cases. But it certainly is an improvement on my desktop machine writing to 2 disks. Do we need something more for machines with large arrays where bdi_threshold * number_of_drives is greater than the dirty_ratio ?

2009-06-30bsdacct: fix access to invalid filp in acct_on()Renaud Lottiaux
The file opened in acct_on and freshly stored in the ns->bacct struct can be closed in acct_file_reopen by a concurrent call after we release acct_lock and before we call mntput(file->f_path.mnt). Record file->f_path.mnt in a local variable and use this variable only.

2009-06-30spi: bitbang bugfix in message setupDavid Brownell
Bugfix to spi_bitbang infrastructure: make sure to always set transfer parameters on the first pass through the message's per-transfer loop. This can matter with drivers that replace the per-word or per-buffer transfer primitives, on busses with multiple SPI devices. Previously, this could have started messages using the settings left after previous messages. The problem was observed when a high speed chip (m25p80 type flash) was running very slowly because a low speed device (avr8 microcontroller) had previously used the bus. Similar faults could have driven the low speed device too fast, or used an unexpected word size. Acked-by: Steven A.

2009-06-30fbdev: add mutex for fb_mmap lockingKrzysztof Helt
Add a mutex to avoid a circular locking problem between the mm layer semaphore and fbdev ioctl mutex through the fb_mmap() call. Also, add mutex to all places where smem_start and smem_len fields change so the mutex inside the fb_mmap() is actually used. Changing of these fields before calling the framebuffer_register() are not mutexed. This is 2.6.31 material. It removes one lockdep (fb_mmap() and register_framebuffer()) but there is still another one (fb_release() and register_framebuffer()). It also cleans up handling of the smem_start and smem_len fields used by mutexed section of the fb_mmap().

2009-06-30spi: add spi_master flag wordDavid Brownell
Add a new spi_master.flags word listing constraints relevant to that controller. Define the first constraint bit: a half duplex restriction. Include that constraint in the OMAP1 MicroWire controller driver. Have the mmc_spi host be the first customer of this flag. Its coding relies heavily on full duplex transfers, so it must fail when the underlying controller driver won't perform them. (The spi_write_then_read routine could use it too: use the temporarily-withdrawn full-duplex speedup unless this flag is set, in which case the existing code applies. Similarly, any spi_master implementing only SPI_3WIRE should set the flag.)
