2008-10-09block: add lld busy state exporting interfaceKiyoshi Ueda
This patch adds an new interface, blk_lld_busy(), to check lld's busy state from the block layer. blk_lld_busy() calls down into low-level drivers for the checking if the drivers set q->lld_busy_fn() using blk_queue_lld_busy(). This resolves a performance problem on request stacking devices below. Some drivers like scsi mid layer stop dispatching request when they detect busy state on its low-level device like host/target/device. It allows other requests to stay in the I/O scheduler's queue for a chance of merging. Request stacking drivers like request-based dm should follow the same logic. However, there is no generic interface for the stacked device to check if the underlying device(s) are busy. If the request stacking driver dispatches and submits requests to the busy underlying device, the requests will stay in the underlying device's queue without a chance of merging. This causes performance problem on burst I/O load. With this patch, busy state of the underlying device is exported via q->lld_busy_fn(). So the request stacking driver can check it and stop dispatching requests if busy. The underlying device driver must return the busy state appropriately: 1: when the device driver can't process requests immediately. 0: when the device driver can process requests immediately, including abnormal situations where the device driver needs to kill all requests.

2008-10-09include blktrace_api.h in headers_installSven Schuetz
This header file is of interest for user space programming, i.e. for tools that process blktrace data. We would like to use it for a tool on-top of blktrace which processes data provided by blktrace. For this purpose, it would be helpful if the blktrace API would make it to /usr/include/linux. The git tree for the blktrace tools comes with its own copy of this header file. I didn't manage to replace that copy with the file generated by the patch below yet. A few more cleanups would be needed. For example, the blktrace ioctl numbers, which are currently defined in usr/include/fs.h, might need to be moved. Should be feasible, though.
