2006-04-18[PATCH 2/2] cfq: fix cic's rbtree traversalOGAWA Hirofumi
When queue dies, we set cic->key=NULL as dead mark. So, when we traverse a rbtree, we must check whether it's still valid key. if it was invalidated, drop it, then restart the traversal from top. Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-04-18[PATCH 1/2] iosched: fix typo and barrier()OGAWA Hirofumi
On rmmod path, cfq/as waits to make sure all io-contexts was freed. However, it's using complete(), not wait_for_completion(). I think barrier() is not enough in here. To avoid the following case, this patch replaces barrier() with smb_wmb(). cpu0 visibility cpu1 [ioc_gnone=NULL,ioc_count=1] ioc_gnone = &all_gone NULL,ioc_count=1 atomic_read(&ioc_count) NULL,ioc_count=1 wait_for_completion() NULL,ioc_count=0 atomic_sub_and_test() NULL,ioc_count=0 if ( && ioc_gone) [ioc_gone==NULL, so doesn't call complete()] &all_gone,ioc_count=0 Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-03-28[BLOCK] cfq-iosched: seek and async performance fixesJens Axboe
Detect whether a given process is seeky and if so disable (mostly) the idle window if it is. We still allow just a little idle time, just enough to allow that process to submit a new request. That is needed to maintain fairness across priority groups. In some cases, we could setup several async queues. This is not optimal from a performance POV, since we want all async io in one queue to perform good sorting on it. It also impacted sync queues, as async io got too much slice time.

2006-03-28[PATCH] cfq-iosched: small cfq_choose_req() optimizationAndreas Mohr
this is a small optimization to cfq_choose_req() in the CFQ I/O scheduler (this function is a semi-often invoked candidate in an oprofile log): by using a bit mask variable, we can use a simple switch() to check the various cases instead of having to query two variables for each check. Benefit: 251 vs. 285 bytes footprint of cfq_choose_req(). Also, common case 0 (no request wrapping) is now checked first in code.

2006-03-28[PATCH] [BLOCK] cfq-iosched: change cfq io context linking from list to treeJens Axboe
On setups with many disks, we spend a considerable amount of time looking up the process-disk mapping on each queue of io. Testing with a NULL based block driver, this costs 40-50% reduction in throughput for 1000 disks. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2006-03-26[PATCH] mempool: use mempool_create_slab_pool()Matthew Dobson
Modify well over a dozen mempool users to call mempool_create_slab_pool() rather than calling mempool_create() with extra arguments, saving about 30 lines of code and increasing readability.

2006-03-18[PATCH] stop leaking cfq_data in cfq_set_request()Al Viro
We don't need to pin ->key down; ->cfqq->cfqd will do that for us. Incidentally, that stops the leak we had - that reference was never dropped. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2006-03-18[PATCH] fix cfq hash lookupsAl Viro
If somebody does a hash lookup for cfq_queue while ioprio of an async queue is elevated, they shouldn't end up stuck with lowered ioprio when we go back. Fix is to use ->org_ioprio{,class} in hash lookups. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
2006-02-28[PATCH] cfq-iosched: slice expiry fixupsJens Axboe
During testing of SLES10, we encountered a hang in the CFQ io scheduler. Turns out the deferred slice expiry logic is buggy, so remove that for now. We could be left with an idle queue that would never wake up. So kill that logic, always expire immediately. Also fix a potential timer race condition. Patch looks bigger than it is, because it moves a function. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-11-12[BLOCK] cfq-iosched: fix slice_left calculationTejun Heo
When cfq slice expires, remainder of slice is calculated and stored in cfqq->slice_left. Current code calculates the opposite of remainder - how many jiffies the cfqq has used past slice end.
