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.

The memset() of the sg entry was originally removed, because it could
overwrite a chain pointer. But it's quite OK to memset() it when we know
it's a valid entry, since it can't contain a chain pointer.

As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete,
the 'size' argument is now redundant. Remove it.
Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed

The only caller of bio_endio that does not pass the full bi_size
is end_that_request_first. Also, no ->bi_end_io method is really
interested in bi_size being decremented.
So move the decrement and related code into ll_rw_blk and merge it
with order_bio_endio to form req_bio_endio which does endio functionality
specific to request completion.
As some ->bi_end_io methods do check bi_size of 0, we set it thus for
now, but that will go in the next patch.

blk_recalc_rq_segments calls blk_recount_segments on each bio,
then does some extra calculations to handle segments that overlap
two bios.
If we merge the code from blk_recount_segments into
blk_recalc_rq_segments, we can process the whole request one bio_vec
at a time, and not need the messy cross-bio calculations.
Then blk_recount_segments can be implemented by calling
blk_recalc_rq_segments, passing it a simple on-stack request which
stores just the bio.

There's a race condition in blk_queue_end_tag() for shared tag maps,
users include stex (promise supertrak thingy) and qla2xxx. The former
at least has reported bugs in this area, not sure why we haven't seen
any for the latter. It could be because the window is narrow and that
other conditions in the qla2xxx code hide this. It's a real bug,
though, as the stex smp users can attest.
We need to ensure two things - the tag bit clearing needs to happen
AFTER we cleared the tag pointer, as the tag bit clearing/setting is
what protects this map. Secondly, we need to ensure that the visibility
of the tag pointer and tag bit clear are ordered properly.
[ I removed the SMP barriers - "test_and_clear_bit()" already implies
all the required barriers. -- Linus ]

Barrier bios are completed twice - once after the barrier write itself
is done and again after the whole sequence is complete.
flush_dry_bio_endio() is for the first completion. It doesn't really
complete the bio. It rewinds bvec and resets bio so that it can be
completed again when the whole barrier sequence is complete.
The bvec rewinding code has the following problems.
1. The rewinding code is wrong because filesystems may pass bvec with
non zero bv_offset.
2. The block layer doesn't guarantee anything about the state of
bvec array on request completion. bv_offset and len are updated
iff __end_that_request_first() completes the bvec partially.
Because of #2, #1 doesn't really matter (nobody cares whether bvec is
re-wound correctly or not) but then again by not doing unwinding at
all, we'll always give back the same bvec to the caller as full bvec
completion doesn't alter bvecs and the final completion is always full
completion.
Drop unnecessary rewinding code.
This is spotted by Neil Brown.

SCSI marks internal commands with REQ_PREEMPT and push it at the front
of the request queue using blk_execute_rq(). When entering suspended
or frozen state, SCSI devices are quiesced using
scsi_device_quiesce(). In quiesced state, only REQ_PREEMPT requests
are processed. This is how SCSI blocks other requests out while
suspending and resuming. As all internal commands are pushed at the
front of the queue, this usually works.
Unfortunately, this interacts badly with ordered requeueing. To
preserve request order on requeueing (due to busy device, active EH or
other failures), requests are sorted according to ordered sequence on
requeue if IO barrier is in progress.
The following sequence deadlocks.
1. IO barrier sequence issues.
2. Suspend requested. Queue is quiesced with part or all of IO
barrier sequence at the front.
3. During suspending or resuming, SCSI issues internal command which
gets deferred and requeued for some reason. As the command is
issued after the IO barrier in #1, ordered requeueing code puts the
request after IO barrier sequence.
4. The device is ready to process requests again but still is in
quiesced state and the first request of the queue isn't
REQ_PREEMPT, so command processing is deadlocked -
suspending/resuming waits for the issued request to complete while
the request can't be processed till device is put back into
running state by resuming.
This can be fixed by always putting !fs requests at the front when
requeueing.
The following thread reports this deadlock.

to generic_make_request can use up a lot of space, and we would rather they
didn't.
As generic_make_request is a void function, and as it is generally not
expected that it will have any effect immediately, it is safe to delay any
call to generic_make_request until there is sufficient stack space
available.
As ->bi_next is reserved for the driver to use, it can have no valid value
when generic_make_request is called, and as __make_request implicitly
assumes it will be NULL (ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE fork of switch) we can be
certain that all callers set it to NULL. We can therefore safely use
bi_next to link pending requests together, providing we clear it before
making the real call.
So, we choose to allow each thread to only be active in one
generic_make_request at a time. If a subsequent (recursive) call is made,
the bio is linked into a per-thread list, and is handled when the active
call completes.
As the list of pending bios is per-thread, there are no locking issues to
worry about.
I say above that it is "safe to delay any call...". There are, however,
some behaviours of a make_request_fn which would make it unsafe. These
include any behaviour that assumes anything will have changed after a
recursive call to generic_make_request.
These could include:
- waiting for that call to finish and call it's bi_end_io function.
md use to sometimes do this (marking the superblock dirty before
completing a write) but doesn't any more
- inspecting the bio for fields that generic_make_request might
change, such as bi_sector or bi_bdev. It is hard to see a good
reason for this, and I don't think anyone actually does it.
- inspecing the queue to see if, e.g. it is 'full' yet. Again, I
think this is very unlikely to be useful, or to be done.

Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> said:
I can see nothing wrong with this in principle.
For device-mapper at the moment though it's essential that, while the bio
mappings may now get delayed, they still get processed in exactly
the same order as they were passed to generic_make_request().
My main concern is whether the timing changes implicit in this patch
will make the rare data-corrupting races in the existing snapshot code
more likely. (I'm working on a fix for these races, but the unfinished
patch is already several hundred lines long.)
It would be helpful if some people on this mailing list would test
this patch in various scenarios and report back.

Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

I think we might just need the blk_map_kern users now. For the async

thought the correct gfp_t would be passed in. But I think all we need is
the patch below and all the paths are take care of. The patch is not
tested. Patch was made against scsi-misc.
The last place that is sending non sg commands may just be md/dm-emc.c
but that is is just waiting on alasdair to take some patches that fix
that and a bunch of junk in there including adding bounce support. If
the patch below is ok though and dm-emc finally gets converted then it

This patch (as857) modifies the SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE and
SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctls in the sg driver, capping the values at
the device's request_queue's max_sectors value. This will permit
cdrecord to obtain a legal value for the maximum transfer length,
fixing Bugzilla #7026.
The patch also caps the initial reserved_size value. There's no
reason to have a reserved buffer larger than max_sectors, since it
would be impossible to use the extra space.
The corresponding ioctls in the block layer are modified similarly,
and the initial value for the reserved_size is set as large as
possible. This will effectively make it default to max_sectors.
Note that the actual value is meaningless anyway, since block devices
don't have a reserved buffer.
Finally, the BLKSECTGET ioctl is added to sg, so that there will be a
uniform way for users to determine the actual max_sectors value for
any raw SCSI transport.
