Arnd Bergmann 7199d4cdd8 compat_ioctl: add compat_blkdev_driver_ioctl()
Handle those blockdev ioctl calls that are compatible
directly from the compat_blkdev_ioctl() function, instead
of having to go through the compat_ioctl hash lookup.

Arnd Bergmann f58c4c0a17 compat_ioctl: move common block ioctls to compat_blkdev_ioctl
Make compat_blkdev_ioctl and blkdev_ioctl reflect the respective
native versions. This is somewhat more efficient and makes it easier
to keep the two in sync.

Also get rid of the bogus handling for broken_blkgetsize and the
duplicate entry for BLKRASET.

NeilBrown 6712ecf8f6 Drop 'size' argument from bio_endio and bi_end_io
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.

NeilBrown 5bb23a688b Don't decrement bi_size in bio_endio
The only caller of bio_endio that does not pass the full bi_size
is end_that_request_first.  Also, no ->bi_end_io method is really
interested in bi_size being decremented.

So move the decrement and related code into ll_rw_blk and merge it
with order_bio_endio to form req_bio_endio which does endio functionality
specific to request completion.

As some ->bi_end_io methods do check bi_size of 0, we set it thus for
now, but that will go in the next patch.

NeilBrown d24517d793 Remove flush_dry_bio_endio
The entire function of flush_dry_bio_endio is to undo the effects
of bio_endio (when called on a barrier request).  So remove the
function and the call to bio_endio.

This allows us to remove "bi_size" from "struct request_queue".

NeilBrown 9dfa52831e Merge blk_recount_segments into blk_recalc_rq_segments
blk_recalc_rq_segments calls blk_recount_segments on each bio,
then does some extra calculations to handle segments that overlap
two bios.

If we merge the code from blk_recount_segments into
blk_recalc_rq_segments, we can process the whole request one bio_vec
at a time, and not need the messy cross-bio calculations.

Then blk_recount_segments can be implemented by calling
blk_recalc_rq_segments, passing it a simple on-stack request which
stores just the bio.

Nick Piggin dd941252a8 shared tag queue barrier comment
Should add some comments for the tag barriers (they won't be so important
if we can switch over to the explicit _lock bitops, but for now we should
make it clear).

Jens' original patch said a barrier after the test_and_clear_bit was also
required. I can't see why (and it would prevent the use of the _lock bitop).

Jens Axboe f3da54ba14 Fix race with shared tag queue maps
There's a race condition in blk_queue_end_tag() for shared tag maps,
users include stex (promise supertrak thingy) and qla2xxx.  The former
at least has reported bugs in this area, not sure why we haven't seen
any for the latter.  It could be because the window is narrow and that
other conditions in the qla2xxx code hide this.  It's a real bug,
though, as the stex smp users can attest.

We need to ensure two things - the tag bit clearing needs to happen
AFTER we cleared the tag pointer, as the tag bit clearing/setting is
what protects this map.  Secondly, we need to ensure that the visibility
of the tag pointer and tag bit clear are ordered properly.

[ I removed the SMP barriers - "test_and_clear_bit()" already implies
  all the required barriers.  -- Linus ]

- add dout_iovec_count and din_iovec_count

Currently, bsg doesn't make class backlinks (a process whereby you'd get
a link to bsg in the device directory in the same way you get one for
sg).  This is because the bsg device is uninitialised, so the class
device has nothing it can attach to.  The fix is to make the bsg device
point to the cdevice of the entity creating the bsg, necessitating
changing the bsg_register_queue() prototype into a form that takes the
generic device.

This patch addresses on two issues on bsg device allocation.

- the current maxium number of bsg devices is 256. It's too small if
we allocate bsg devices to all SCSI devices, transport entities, etc.
This increses the maxium number to 32768 (taken from the sg driver).

- SCSI devices are dynamically added and removed. Currently, bsg can't
handle it well since bsd_device->minor is simply increased.

Tejun Heo f4b09303d0 [BLOCK] drop unnecessary bvec rewinding from flush_dry_bio_endio
Barrier bios are completed twice - once after the barrier write itself
is done and again after the whole sequence is complete.
flush_dry_bio_endio() is for the first completion.  It doesn't really
complete the bio.  It rewinds bvec and resets bio so that it can be
completed again when the whole barrier sequence is complete.

The bvec rewinding code has the following problems.

1. The rewinding code is wrong because filesystems may pass bvec with
   non zero bv_offset.

2. The block layer doesn't guarantee anything about the state of
   bvec array on request completion.  bv_offset and len are updated
   iff __end_that_request_first() completes the bvec partially.

Because of #2, #1 doesn't really matter (nobody cares whether bvec is
re-wound correctly or not) but then again by not doing unwinding at
all, we'll always give back the same bvec to the caller as full bvec
completion doesn't alter bvecs and the final completion is always full
completion.

Drop unnecessary rewinding code.

This is spotted by Neil Brown.

Tejun Heo bc90ba093a block: always requeue !fs requests at the front
SCSI marks internal commands with REQ_PREEMPT and push it at the front
of the request queue using blk_execute_rq().  When entering suspended
or frozen state, SCSI devices are quiesced using
scsi_device_quiesce().  In quiesced state, only REQ_PREEMPT requests
are processed.  This is how SCSI blocks other requests out while
suspending and resuming.  As all internal commands are pushed at the
front of the queue, this usually works.

Unfortunately, this interacts badly with ordered requeueing.  To
preserve request order on requeueing (due to busy device, active EH or
other failures), requests are sorted according to ordered sequence on
requeue if IO barrier is in progress.

The following sequence deadlocks.

1. IO barrier sequence issues.

2. Suspend requested.  Queue is quiesced with part or all of IO
   barrier sequence at the front.

3. During suspending or resuming, SCSI issues internal command which
   gets deferred and requeued for some reason.  As the command is
   issued after the IO barrier in #1, ordered requeueing code puts the
   request after IO barrier sequence.

4. The device is ready to process requests again but still is in
   quiesced state and the first request of the queue isn't
   REQ_PREEMPT, so command processing is deadlocked -
   suspending/resuming waits for the issued request to complete while
   the request can't be processed till device is put back into
   running state by resuming.

This can be fixed by always putting !fs requests at the front when
requeueing.

The following thread reports this deadlock.

Neil Brown d89d87965d When stacked block devices are in-use (e.g. md or dm), the recursive calls
to generic_make_request can use up a lot of space, and we would rather they
didn't.

As generic_make_request is a void function, and as it is generally not
expected that it will have any effect immediately, it is safe to delay any
call to generic_make_request until there is sufficient stack space
available.

As ->bi_next is reserved for the driver to use, it can have no valid value
when generic_make_request is called, and as __make_request implicitly
assumes it will be NULL (ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE fork of switch) we can be
certain that all callers set it to NULL.  We can therefore safely use
bi_next to link pending requests together, providing we clear it before
making the real call.

So, we choose to allow each thread to only be active in one
generic_make_request at a time.  If a subsequent (recursive) call is made,
the bio is linked into a per-thread list, and is handled when the active
call completes.

As the list of pending bios is per-thread, there are no locking issues to
worry about.

I say above that it is "safe to delay any call...".  There are, however,
some behaviours of a make_request_fn which would make it unsafe.  These
include any behaviour that assumes anything will have changed after a
recursive call to generic_make_request.

These could include:
 - waiting for that call to finish and call it's bi_end_io function.
   md use to sometimes do this (marking the superblock dirty before
   completing a write) but doesn't any more
 - inspecting the bio for fields that generic_make_request might
   change, such as bi_sector or bi_bdev.  It is hard to see a good
   reason for this, and I don't think anyone actually does it.
 - inspecing the queue to see if, e.g. it is 'full' yet.  Again, I
   think this is very unlikely to be useful, or to be done.

Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> said:

 I can see nothing wrong with this in principle.

 For device-mapper at the moment though it's essential that, while the bio
 mappings may now get delayed, they still get processed in exactly
 the same order as they were passed to generic_make_request().

 My main concern is whether the timing changes implicit in this patch
 will make the rare data-corrupting races in the existing snapshot code
 more likely. (I'm working on a fix for these races, but the unfinished
 patch is already several hundred lines long.)

 It would be helpful if some people on this mailing list would test

special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware

related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress.  This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions.  It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

Mike Christie 821de3a27b [PATCH] ll_rw_blk: fix missing bounce in blk_rq_map_kern()
I think we might just need the blk_map_kern users now. For the async
execute I added the bounce code already and the block SG_IO has it
atleady. I think the blk_map_kern bounce code got dropped because we
thought the correct gfp_t would be passed in. But I think all we need is
the patch below and all the paths are take care of. The patch is not
tested. Patch was made against scsi-misc.

The last place that is sending non sg commands may just be md/dm-emc.c
but that is is just waiting on alasdair to take some patches that fix
that and a bunch of junk in there including adding bounce support. If
the patch below is ok though and dm-emc finally gets converted then it
will have sg and bonce buffer support.

This patch provides a new macro

KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>)

to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the
struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct.
Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary.

Example

struct test_slab {
	int a,b,c;
	struct list_head;
} __cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC)

will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct
test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab.  If it fails then we
panic.

Vasily Tarasov 91fac317a3 cfq-iosched: get rid of cfqq hash
cfq hash is no more necessary.  We always can get cfqq from io context.
cfq_get_io_context_noalloc() function is introduced, because we don't
want to allocate cic on merging and checking may_queue.  In order to
identify sync queue we've used hash key = CFQ_KEY_ASYNC. Since hash is
eliminated we need to use other criterion: sync flag for queue is added.
In all places where we dig in rb_tree we're in current context, so no
additional locking is required.

Advantages of this patch: no additional memory for hash, no seeking in
hash, code is cleaner. But it is necessary now to seek cic in per-ioc
rbtree, but it is faster:
- most processes work only with few devices
- most systems have only few block devices
- it is a rb-tree

Jens Axboe d9e7620e60 cfq-iosched: rework the whole round-robin list concept
Drawing on some inspiration from the CFS CPU scheduler design, overhaul
the pending cfq_queue concept list management. Currently CFQ uses a
doubly linked list per priority level for sorting and service uses.
Kill those lists and maintain an rbtree of cfq_queue's, sorted by when
to service them.

This unfortunately means that the ionice levels aren't as strong
anymore, will work on improving those later. We only scale the slice
time now, not the number of times we service. This means that latency
is better (for all priority levels), but that the distinction between
the highest and lower levels aren't as big.

The diffstat speaks for itself.

- Implement logic for detecting cooperating processes, so we
  choose the best available queue whenever possible.

- Improve residual slice time accounting.

- Remove dead code: we no longer see async requests coming in on
  sync queues. That part was removed a long time ago. That means
  that we can also remove the difference between cfq_cfqq_sync()
  and cfq_cfqq_class_sync(), they are now indentical. And we can
  kill the on_dispatch array, just make it a counter.

- Allow a process to go into the current list, if it hasn't been
  serviced in this scheduler tick yet.

Possible future improvements including caching the cfqq lookup
in cfq_close_cooperator(), so we don't have to look it up twice.
cfq_get_best_queue() should just use that last decision instead
of doing it again.

When testing the syslet async io approach, I discovered that CFQ
sometimes didn't perform as well as expected. cfq_should_preempt()

Jens Axboe 5044eed488 cfq-iosched: fix alias + front merge bug
There's a really rare and obscure bug in CFQ, that causes a crash in
cfq_dispatch_insert() due to rq == NULL.  One example of the resulting
oops is seen here:

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/15/41

Neil correctly diagnosed the situation for how this can happen: if two
concurrent requests with the exact same sector number (due to direct IO
or aliasing between MD and the raw device access), the alias handling
will add the request to the sortlist, but next_rq remains NULL.

Read the more complete analysis at:

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/4/25/57

This looks like it requires md to trigger, even though it should
potentially be possible to due with O_DIRECT (at least if you edit the
kernel and doctor some of the unplug calls).

The fix is to move the ->next_rq update to when we add a request to the
rbtree. Then we remove the possibility for a request to exist in the
rbtree code, but not have ->next_rq correctly updated.

Jens Axboe a993800655 cfq-iosched: fix sequential write regression
We have a 10-15% performance regression for sequential writes on TCQ/NCQ
enabled drives in 2.6.21-rcX after the CFQ update went in.  It has been
reported by Valerie Clement <valerie.clement@bull.net> and the Intel
testing folks.  The regression is because of CFQ's now more aggressive
queue control, limiting the depth available to the device.

This patches fixes that regression by allowing a greater depth when only
one queue is busy.  It has been tested to not impact sync-vs-async
workloads too much - we still do a lot better than 2.6.20.

Alan Stern 44ec95425c [SCSI] sg: cap reserved_size values at max_sectors
This patch (as857) modifies the SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE and
SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctls in the sg driver, capping the values at
the device's request_queue's max_sectors value.  This will permit
cdrecord to obtain a legal value for the maximum transfer length,
fixing Bugzilla #7026.

The patch also caps the initial reserved_size value.  There's no
reason to have a reserved buffer larger than max_sectors, since it
would be impossible to use the extra space.

The corresponding ioctls in the block layer are modified similarly,
and the initial value for the reserved_size is set as large as
possible.  This will effectively make it default to max_sectors.
Note that the actual value is meaningless anyway, since block devices
don't have a reserved buffer.

Finally, the BLKSECTGET ioctl is added to sg, so that there will be a
uniform way for users to determine the actual max_sectors value for
any raw SCSI transport.

Vasily Tarasov f772b3d9ca block: blk_max_pfn is somtimes wrong
There is a small problem in handling page bounce.

At the moment blk_max_pfn equals max_pfn, which is in fact not maximum
possible _number_ of a page frame, but the _amount_ of page frames.  For
example for the 32bit x86 node with 4Gb RAM, max_pfn = 0x100000, but not
0xFFFF.

request_queue structure has a member q->bounce_pfn and queue needs bounce
pages for the pages _above_ this limit.  This routine is handled by
blk_queue_bounce(), where the following check is produced:

	if (q->bounce_pfn >= blk_max_pfn)
		return;

Assume, that a driver has set q->bounce_pfn to 0xFFFF, but blk_max_pfn
equals 0x10000.  In such situation the check above fails and for each bio
we always fall down for iterating over pages tied to the bio.

I want to notice, that for quite a big range of device drivers (ide, md,
...) such problem doesn't happen because they use BLK_BOUNCE_ANY for
bounce_pfn.  BLK_BOUNCE_ANY is defined as blk_max_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT, and
then the check above doesn't fail.  But for other drivers, which obtain
reuired value from drivers, it fails.  For example sata_nv uses
ATA_DMA_MASK or dev->dma_mask.

I propose to use (max_pfn - 1) for blk_max_pfn.  And the same for
blk_max_low_pfn.  The patch also cleanses some checks related with
bounce_pfn.

due to the recent changes in there to avoid handing out the local/experimental
majors.

Rolf reports that this is due to a gcc-4.1.0 bug.

The patch refactors that code a lot in an attempt to provoke the compiler into
behaving.

Arjan van de Ven 2b8693c061 [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 3
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const".  Marking them const
moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
dirty data.  In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
these shared resources.

Mathieu Desnoyers 23c887522e [PATCH] Relay: add CPU hotplug support
Mathieu originally needed to add this for tracing Xen, but it's something
that's needed for any application that can be tracing while cpus are added.

unplug isn't supported by this patch.  The thought was that at minumum a new
buffer needs to be added when a cpu comes up, but it wasn't worth the effort
to remove buffers on cpu down since they'd be freed soon anyway when the
channel was closed.

Fabio Massimo Di Nitto d18d7682c1 [PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute.
Some partitioning systems create special partitions that
span the entire disk.  One example are Sun partitions, and
this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the
extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block
and do other things.

Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions,
because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one.
So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which
we do not want.  udev and friends can thus search for this
'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the
partition.

Neil Brown 387bb17374 [PATCH] md: fix various bugs with aligned reads in RAID5
It is possible for raid5 to be sent a bio that is too big for an underlying
device.  So if it is a READ that we pass stright down to a device, it will
fail and confuse RAID5.

So in 'chunk_aligned_read' we check that the bio fits within the parameters
for the target device and if it doesn't fit, fall back on reading through
the stripe cache and making lots of one-page requests.

Note that this is the earliest time we can check against the device because
earlier we don't have a lock on the device, so it could change underneath
us.

Also, the code for handling a retry through the cache when a read fails has
not been tested and was badly broken.  This patch fixes that code.

Linas Vepstas 95543179f1 [PATCH] elevator: move clearing of unplug flag earlier
A flag was recently added to the elevator code to avoid
performing an unplug when reuests are being re-queued.
The goal of this flag was to avoid a deep recursion that
can occur when re-queueing requests after a SCSI device/host
reset.  See http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/17/254

However, that fix added the flag near the bottom of a case
statement, where an earlier break (in an if statement) could
transport one out of the case, without setting the flag.
This patch sets the flag earlier in the case statement.

I re-discovered the deep recursion recently during testing;
I was told that it was a known problem, and the fix to it was
in the kernel I was testing. Indeed it was ... but it didn't
fix the bug. With the patch below, I no longer see the bug.

Jens Axboe ec8acb6904 [PATCH] cfq-iosched: merging problem
Two issues:

- The final return 1 should be a return 0, otherwise comparing cfqq is
  a noop.

- bio_sync() only checks the sync flag, while rq_is_sync() checks both
  for READ and sync. The latter is what we want. Expand the bio check
  to include reads, and relax the restriction to allow merging of async
  io into sync requests.

In the future we want to clean up the SYNC logic, right now it means
both sync request (such as READ and O_DIRECT WRITE) and unplug-on-issue.
Leave that for later.

Jens Axboe da77526502 [PATCH] cfq-iosched: don't allow sync merges across queues
Currently we allow any merge, even if the io originates from different
processes. This can cause really bad starvation and unfairness, if those
ios happen to be synchronous (reads or direct writes).

So add a allow_merge hook to the io scheduler ops, so an io scheduler can
help decide whether a bio/process combination may be merged with an
existing request.
