2007-11-02Deadline iosched: Fix batching fairnessAaron Carroll
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 Carroll
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 Axboe
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>
2007-10-29compat_ioctl: fix block device compat ioctl regressionPhilip Langdale
The conversion of handlers to compat_blkdev_ioctl accidentally disabled handling of most ioctl numbers on block devices because of a typo. Fix the one line to enable it all again. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@carl.home.kernel.dk>
2007-10-29[BLOCK] Fix bad sharing of tag busy list on queues with shared tag mapsJens Axboe
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>

2007-10-29cfq_get_queue: fix possible NULL pointer accessOleg Nesterov
cfq_get_queue()->cfq_find_alloc_queue() can fail, check the returned value. 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>
2007-10-29blk_sync_queue() should cancel request_queue->unplug_workOleg Nesterov
blk_sync_queue() cancels the timer, but forgets to cancel the work. Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-29cfq_exit_queue() should cancel cfq_data->unplug_workOleg Nesterov
Spotted by Nick <gentuu@gmail.com>, perhaps explains the first trace in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9180. cfq_exit_queue() should cancel cfqd->unplug_work before freeing cfqd. blk_sync_queue() seems unneeded, removed. Q: why cfq_exit_queue() calls cfq_shutdown_timer_wq() twice? Signed-off-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-29block layer: remove a unused argument of drive_stat_acct()Jerome Marchand

2007-10-24SG: Change sg_set_page() to take length and offset argumentJens Axboe
Most drivers need to set length and offset as well, so may as well fold those three lines into one. Add sg_assign_page() for those two locations that only needed to set the page, where the offset/length is set outside of the function context. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-23[BLOCK] blk_rq_map_sg: force clear termination bitJens Axboe
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>

2007-10-19Use helpers to obtain task pid in printksPavel Emelyanov
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.

This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a long list of parameters.
