2005-10-30[PATCH] block cleanups: Fix iosched module refcount leakNate Diller
If the requested I/O scheduler is already in place, elevator_switch simply leaves the queue alone, and returns. However, it forgets to call elevator_put, so 'echo [current_sched] > /sys/block/[dev]/queue/scheduler' will leak a reference, causing the current_sched module to be permanently pinned in memory.

2005-10-30[PATCH] block cleanups: Add kconfig default iosched submenuNate Diller
Add a kconfig submenu to select the default I/O scheduler, in case anticipatory is not compiled in or another default is preferred. Also, since no-op is always available, we should use it whenever the selected default is not.

2005-10-30[PATCH] cfq-iosched: move tasklist walk to elevator.cChristoph Hellwig
We're trying to get rid of as much as possible tasklist walks, or at least moving them to core code. This patch falls into the second category. Instead of walking the tasklist in cfq-iosched move that into elv_unregister. The added benefit is that with this change the as ioscheduler might be might unloadable more easily aswell. The new code uses read_lock instead of read_lock_irq because the tasklist_lock only needs irq disabling for writers.

2005-10-29[PATCH] blk: fix merge bug in as-ioschedTejun Heo
as-iosched deals with aliased requests differently from other ioscheds. It links together aliased requests using rq->queuelist instead of spilling alises to dispatch queue like other ioscheds do. Requests linked in this way cannot be merged. Unfortunately, generic q->last_merge handling patch didn't take this into account and q->last_merge could be set to an aliased request resulting in Badness, corrupt list and eventually panic. This explicitly marks aliased requests to be unmergeable. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-10-28[BLOCK] Reimplement elevator switchTejun Heo
This patch reimplements elevator switch. This patch assumes generic dispatch queue patchset is applied. * Each request is tagged with REQ_ELVPRIV flag if it has its elevator private data set. * Requests which doesn't have REQ_ELVPRIV flag set never enter iosched. They are always directly back inserted to dispatch queue. Of course, elevator_put_req_fn is called only for requests which have its REQ_ELVPRIV set. * Request queue maintains the current number of requests which have its elevator data set (elevator_set_req_fn called) in q->rq->elvpriv. * If a request queue has QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set, elevator private data is not allocated for new requests. To switch to another iosched, we set QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS and wait until elvpriv goes to zero; then, we attach the new iosched and clears QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS. New implementation is much simpler and main code paths are less cluttered, IMHO. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

2005-10-28[PATCH] 02/05: update ioscheds to use generic dispatch queueJens Axboe
This patch updates all four ioscheds to use generic dispatch queue. There's one behavior change in as-iosched. * In as-iosched, when force dispatching (ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK), batch_data_dir is reset to REQ_SYNC and changed_batch and new_batch are cleared to zero. This prevernts AS from doing incorrect update_write_batch after the forced dispatched requests are finished. * In cfq-iosched, cfqd->rq_in_driver currently counts the number of activated (removed) requests to determine whether queue-kicking is needed and cfq_max_depth has been reached. With generic dispatch queue, I think counting the number of dispatched requests would be more appropriate. * cfq_max_depth can be lowered to 1 again.

2005-10-28[patch] remove gendisk->stamp_idle fieldChen, Kenneth W
struct gendisk has these two fields: stamp, stamp_idle. Update to stamp_idle is always in sync with stamp and they are always the same. Therefore, it does not add any value in having two fields tracking same timestamp. Suggest to remove it. Also, we should only update gendisk stats with non-zero value. Advantage is that we don't have to needlessly calculate memory address, and then add zero to the content. Signed-off-by: Ken Chen <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

2005-09-13[PATCH] cciss: fix for DMA brokenessMike Miller
The CCISS driver seems to loose track of DMA mappings created by it's fill_cmd() routine. Neither callers of this routine are extracting the DMA address created in order to do the unmap. Instead, they simply try to unmap 0x0. It's easy to see this problem on an x86_64 system when using the "swiotlb=force" boot option. In this case, the driver is leaking resources of the swiotlb and not causing a sync of the bounce buffer.
