2007-10-16block: convert blkdev_issue_flush() to use empty barriersJens Axboe
Then we can get rid of ->issue_flush_fn() and all the driver private implementations of that. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-10Drop 'size' argument from bio_endio and bi_end_ioNeilBrown
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 from bi_size. So don't do that either. While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-24[BLOCK] Get rid of request_queue_t typedefJens Axboe
Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with the proper type. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-05-23md: fix bug with linear hot-add and elsewhereNeilBrown
Adding a drive to a linear array seems to have stopped working, due to changes elsewhere in md, and insufficient ongoing testing... So the patch to make linear hot-add work in the first place introduced a subtle bug elsewhere that interracts poorly with older version of mdadm. This fixes it all up.

2007-03-16[PATCH] fix read past end of array in md/linear.cAndy Isaacson
When iterating through an array, one must be careful to test one's index variable rather than another similarly-named variable. The loop will read off the end of conf->disks[] in the following (pathological) case: % dd bs=1 seek=840716287 if=/dev/zero of=d1 count=1 % for i in 2 3 4; do dd if=/dev/zero of=d$i bs=1k count=$(($i+150)); done % ./vmlinux ubd0=root ubd1=d1 ubd2=d2 ubd3=d3 ubd4=d4 # mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level=linear --raid-devices=4 /dev/ubd[1234] adding some printks, I saw this: [42949374.960000] hash_spacing = 821120 [42949374.960000] cnt = 4 [42949374.960000] min_spacing = 801 [42949374.960000] j=0 size=820928 sz=820928 [42949374.960000] i=0 sz=820928 hash_spacing=820928 [42949374.960000] j=1 size=64 sz=64 [42949374.960000] j=2 size=64 sz=128 [42949374.960000] j=3 size=64 sz=192 [42949374.960000] j=4 size=1515870810 sz=1515871002 Cc: Gautham R Shenoy <ego@in.ibm.com> Acked-by: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2006-10-03[PATCH] md: define backing_dev_info.congested_fn for raid0 and linearNeilBrown
Each backing_dev needs to be able to report whether it is congested, either by modulating BDI_*_congested in ->state, or by defining a ->congested_fn. md/raid did neither of these. This patch add a congested_fn which simply checks all component devices to see if they are congested.

2006-08-06[PATCH] md: Fix a bug that recently crept into md/linearNeilBrown
A recent patch that allowed linear arrays to be reconfigured on-line allowed in a bug which results in divide by zero - not all mddev->array_size were converted to conf->array_size. This patch finished the conversion and fixed the bug. The offending patch was commit 7c7546ccf6463edbeee8d9aac6de7be1cd80d08a. Thanks to Simon Kirby <sim@netnation.com> for the bug report.

2006-01-06[PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from mdNeilBrown
md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a 'personality' (which is often in a separate module). These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers are use to: 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities are recorded 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular personality. Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers. The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias based on level rather than 'personality' number. The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2 personalities. With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be added independently. This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md. This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a chunk-size set.

2005-11-01[BLOCK] Unify the seperate read/write io stat fields into arraysJens Axboe
Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in just the core (not counting the various drivers). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2005-09-09[PATCH] md: support md/linear array with components greater than 2 terabytes.NeilBrown
linear currently uses division by the size of the smallest componenet device to find which device a request goes to. If that smallest device is larger than 2 terabytes, then the division will not work on some systems. So we introduce a pre-shift, and take care not to make the hash table too large, much like the code in raid0. Also get rid of conf->nr_zones, which is not needed.

2005-06-21[PATCH] md: remove unneeded NULL checks before kfreeJesper Juhl

2005-05-17[PATCH] md: fix splitting of md/linear request that cross a device boundaryNeilBrown
When a request crosses a boundary between devices, it needs to be split. But where we should calculate the amount of the request before the boundary to find the split-point, we care currently calculating the amount that is *after* the boundary !!!

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
