2009-04-06block: Add flag for telling the IO schedulers NOT to anticipate more IOJens Axboe
By default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the previously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only sync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more "normal" sync writes being used now, we don't want to anticipate for those. Add a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync request that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically for O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this flag.

2009-03-24bsg: add support for tail queuingBoaz Harrosh
Currently inherited from sg.c bsg will submit asynchronous request at the head-of-the-queue, (using "at_head" set in the call to blk_execute_rq_nowait()). This is bad in situation where the queues are full, requests will execute out of order, and can cause starvation of the first submitted requests. The sg_io_v4->flags member is used and a bit is allocated to denote the Q_AT_TAIL. Zero is to queue at_head as before, to be compatible with old code at the write/read path. SG_IO code path behavior was changed so to be the same as write/read behavior. SG_IO was very rarely used and breaking compatibility with it is OK at this stage. sg_io_hdr at sg.h also has a flags member and uses 3 bits from the first nibble and one bit from the last nibble. Even though none of these bits are supported by bsg, The second nibble is allocated for use by bsg. Just in case.

2009-02-26block: reduce stack footprint of blk_recount_segments()Jens Axboe
blk_recalc_rq_segments() requires a request structure passed in, which we don't have from blk_recount_segments(). So the latter allocates one on the stack, using > 400 bytes of stack for that.

2009-02-18block: fix booting from partitioned md arrayNeil Brown
Hi Tejun, it looks like your commit: block: don't depend on consecutive minor space f331c0296f2a9fee0d396a70598b954062603015 broke a particular case for booting from partitioned md/raid devices. That is the second time this has been broken recently. The previous time was fixed by block: do_mounts - accept root=<non-existant partition> 30f2f0eb4bd2c43d10a8b0d872c6e5ad8f31c9a0 Because the data isn't available when an md device is first created (we add disks and set it up after creation), the initial partition scan finds nothing. It is not until the device is opened that another partition scan happens and finds something. So at the point where the kernel parameter "root=/dev/md_d0p1" is being parsed, md_d0 exists, but md_d0p1 does not. However if we let blk_lookup_devt return the correct device number even though the device doesn't exist, then the attempt to mount it will successfully find the partition. I have tried in the past to find a way to get the partition table to be read as soon as the array is assembled but that proved impossible (at the time). I don't remember the details, and could possibly revisit it. However it would be really nice if blk_lookup_devt could be adjusted to again accept non existant partitions.

2009-02-18bsg: Fix sense buffer bug in SG_IOBoaz Harrosh
When submitting requests via SG_IO, which does a sync io, a bsg_command is not allocated. So an in-Kernel sense_buffer was not set. However when calling blk_execute_rq() with no sense buffer one is provided from the stack. Now bsg at blk_complete_sgv4_hdr_rq() would check if rq->sense_len and a sense was requested by sg_io_v4 the rq->sense was copy_user() back, but by now it is already mangled stack memory. I have fixed that by forcing a sense_buffer when calling bsg_map_hdr(). The bsg_command->sense is provided in the write/read path like before, and on-the-stack buffer is provided when doing SG_IO. I have also fixed a dprintk message to print rq->errors in hex because of the scsi bit-field use of this member. For other block devices it does not matter anyway.

2009-02-03blkftrace: binary tracing, synthesizing old formatArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Impact: new feature With this and a blkrawverify modified not to verify the sequence numbers we can start using the userspace tools to verify that the data produced with the ftrace plugin works as expected. Example: [root@f10-1 ~]# echo 1 > /sys/block/sda/sda1/trace/enable [root@f10-1 ~]# echo bin > /d/tracing/trace_options [root@f10-1 ~]# echo blk > /d/tracing/current_tracer [root@f10-1 ~]# cat /d/tracing/trace_pipe > sda1.blktrace.0 ^C [root@f10-1 ~]# ./blkrawverify --noseq sda1 Verifying sda1 CPU 0 Wrote output to sda1.verify.out [root@f10-1 ~]# cat sda1.verify.out --------------- Verifying sda1 --------------------- Summary for cpu 0: 1349 valid + 0 invalid (100.0%) processed [root@f10-1 ~]# Signed-off-by: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2009-02-03trace: Change struct trace_event callbacks parameter listArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Impact: API change The trace_seq and trace_entry are in trace_iterator, where there are more fields that may be needed by tracers, so just pass the tracer_iterator as is already the case for struct tracer->print_line.

2009-02-02block: fix oops in blk_queue_io_stat()Jens Axboe
Some initial probe requests don't have disk->queue mapped yet, so we can't rely on a non-NULL queue in blk_queue_io_stat(). Wrap it in blk_do_io_stat(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-01-30cfq-iosched: Allow RT requests to pre-empt ongoing BE timesliceDivyesh Shah
This patch adds the ability to pre-empt an ongoing BE timeslice when a RT request is waiting for the current timeslice to complete. This reduces the wait time to disk for RT requests from an upper bound of 4 (current value of cfq_quantum) to 1 disk request. Applied Jens' suggeested changes to avoid the rb lookup and use !cfq_class_rt() and retested. Latency(secs) for the RT task when doing sequential reads from 10G file. | only RT | RT + BE | RT + BE + this patch small (512 byte) reads | 143 | 163 | 145 large (1Mb) reads | 142 | 158 | 146 Signed-off-by: Divyesh Shah <dpshah@google.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-01-30block: add sysfs file for controlling io stats accountingJens Axboe
This allows us to turn off disk stat accounting completely, for the cases where the 0.5-1% reduction in system time is important. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
