Carlos R. Mafra 962cf36c5b Remove argument from open_softirq which is always NULL
As git-grep shows, open_softirq() is always called with the last argument
being NULL

kernel/timer.c: open_softirq(TIMER_SOFTIRQ, run_timer_softirq, NULL);
net/core/dev.c: open_softirq(NET_TX_SOFTIRQ, net_tx_action, NULL);
net/core/dev.c: open_softirq(NET_RX_SOFTIRQ, net_rx_action, NULL);

This observation has already been made by Matthew Wilcox in June 2002
(http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/linux/linux-kernel/2002-25/0687.html)

"I notice that none of the current softirq routines use the data element
passed to them."

and the situation hasn't changed since them. So it appears we can safely
remove that extra argument to save 128 (54) bytes of kernel data (text).

Neil Brown e7e72bf641 Remove blkdev warning triggered by using md
As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock
on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock,
get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits.

For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md
personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock.
Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us
q->__queue_lock.  So always initialise that lock when allocated.

With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no
longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held.

Thanks to Dan Williams for review and fixing the silly bugs.

Kay Sievers 30f2f0eb4b block: do_mounts - accept root=<non-existant partition>
Some devices, like md, may create partitions only at first access,
so allow root= to be set to a valid non-existant partition of an
existing disk. This applies only to non-initramfs root mounting.

This fixes a regression from 2.6.24 which did allow this to happen and
broke some users machines :(

Jean Delvare f36f21ecca Fix misuses of bdevname()
bdevname() fills the buffer that it is given as a parameter, so calling
strcpy() or snprintf() on the returned value is redundant (and probably not

Jens Axboe 28f13702f0 block: avoid duplicate calls to get_part() in disk stat code
get_part() is fairly expensive, as it O(N) loops over partitions
to find the right one. In lots of normal IO paths we end up looking
up the partition twice, to make matters even worse. Change the

Jens Axboe dbaf2c003e block: optimize generic_unplug_device()
Original patch from Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>

Mike Anderson was doing an OLTP benchmark on a computer with 48 physical
disks mapped to one logical device via device mapper.

He found that there was a slowdown on request_queue->lock in function
generic_unplug_device. The slowdown is caused by the fact that when some
code calls unplug on the device mapper, device mapper calls unplug on all
physical disks. These unplug calls take the lock, find that the queue is
already unplugged, release the lock and exit.

With the below patch, performance of the benchmark was increased by 18%
(the whole OLTP application, not just block layer microbenchmarks).

So I'm submitting this patch for upstream. I think the patch is correct,
because when more threads call simultaneously plug and unplug, it is
unspecified, if the queue is or isn't plugged (so the patch can't make
this worse). And the caller that plugged the queue should unplug it
anyway. (if it doesn't, there's 3ms timeout).

Jens Axboe 07416d29bc cfq-iosched: fix RCU race in the cfq io_context destructor handling
put_io_context() drops the RCU read lock before calling into cfq_dtor(),
however we need to hold off freeing there before grabbing and
dereferencing the first object on the list.

So extend the rcu_read_lock() scope to cover the calling of cfq_dtor(),
and optimize cfq_free_io_context() to use a new variant for
call_for_each_cic() that assumes the RCU read lock is already held.

the queue lock held is OK. Only if called for resizing an existing map
must the lock be held. Ditto for tag cleanup, the maps are reference

FUJITA Tomonori 97f46ae45c [SCSI] bsg: add release callback support
This patch adds release callback support, which is called when a bsg
device goes away. bsg_register_queue() takes a pointer to a callback
function. This feature is useful for stuff like sas_host that can't
use the release callback in struct device.

If a caller doesn't need bsg's release callback, it can call
bsg_register_queue() with NULL pointer (e.g. scsi devices can use
release callback in struct device so they don't need bsg's callback).

With this patch, bsg uses kref for refcounts on bsg devices instead of
get/put_device in fops->open/release. bsg calls put_device and the
caller's release callback (if it was registered) in kref_put's
release.

Akinobu Mita fb19974630 block: fix blk_register_queue() return value
blk_register_queue() returns -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL.  But there
are some block drivers that call blk_register_queue() via add_disk() with

Although no one checks return value of blk_register_queue(), this patch makes
it return 0 instead of -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL,

Also this patch adds warning when blk_register_queue() and
blk_unregister_queue() are called with queue == NULL rather than ignore
invalid usage silently.

Nick Andrew ee86418d39 Kconfig: clean up block/Kconfig help descriptions
Modify the help descriptions of block/Kconfig for clarity, accuracy and
consistency.

Refactor the BLOCK description a bit.  The wording "This permits ...  to be
removed" isn't quite right; the block layer is removed when the option is
disabled, whereas most descriptions talk about what happens when the option is
enabled.  Reformat the list of what is affected by disabling the block layer.

Add more examples of large block devices to LBD and strive for technical
accuracy; block devices of size _exactly_ 2TB require CONFIG_LBD, not only
"bigger than 2TB".  Also try to say (perhaps not very clearly) that the config
option is only needed when you want to have individual block devices of size
>= 2TB, for example if you had 3 x 1TB disks in your computer you'd have a
total storage size of 3TB but you wouldn't need the option unless you want to

FUJITA Tomonori f18573abcc block: move the padding adjustment to blk_rq_map_sg
blk_rq_map_user adjusts bi_size of the last bio. It breaks the rule
that req->data_len (the true data length) is equal to sum(bio). It
broke the scsi command completion code.

commit e97a294ef6 was introduced to fix
the above issue. However, the partial completion code doesn't work
with it. The commit is also a layer violation (scsi mid-layer should
not know about the block layer's padding).

This patch moves the padding adjustment to blk_rq_map_sg (suggested by
James). The padding works like the drain buffer. This patch breaks the
rule that req->data_len is equal to sum(sg), however, the drain buffer
already broke it. So this patch just restores the rule that
req->data_len is equal to sub(bio) without breaking anything new.

Now when a low level driver needs padding, blk_rq_map_user and
blk_rq_map_user_iov guarantee there's enough room for padding.
blk_rq_map_sg can safely extend the last entry of a scatter list.

blk_rq_map_sg must extend the last entry of a scatter list only for a
request that got through bio_copy_user_iov. This patches introduces
new REQ_COPY_USER flag.

FUJITA Tomonori afdc1a780e block: add bio_copy_user_iov support to blk_rq_map_user_iov
With this patch, blk_rq_map_user_iov uses bio_copy_user_iov when a low
level driver needs padding or a buffer in sg_iovec isn't aligned. That
is, it uses temporary kernel buffers instead of mapping user pages
directly.

When a LLD needs padding, later blk_rq_map_sg needs to extend the last
entry of a scatter list. bio_copy_user_iov guarantees that there is
enough space for padding by using temporary kernel buffers instead of
user pages.

blk_rq_map_user_iov needs buffers in sg_iovec to be aligned. The
comment in blk_rq_map_user_iov indicates that drivers/scsi/sg.c also
needs buffers in sg_iovec to be aligned. Actually, drivers/scsi/sg.c
works with unaligned buffers in sg_iovec (it always uses temporary
kernel buffers).

FUJITA Tomonori d45ac4fa8f [SCSI] bsg: takes a ref to struct device in fops->open
bsg_register_queue() takes a ref to struct device that a caller
passes. For example, bsg takes a ref to the sdev_gendev for scsi
devices. However, bsg doesn't inrease the refcount in fops->open. So
while an application opens a bsg device, the scsi device that the bsg
device holds can go away (bsg also takes a ref to a queue, but it
doesn't prevent the device from going away).

With this patch, bsg increases the refcount of struct device in
fops->open and decreases it in fops->release.

Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz 93de00fd1c ide: remove broken/dangerous HDIO_[UNREGISTER,SCAN]_HWIF ioctls (take 3)
hdparm explicitely marks HDIO_[UNREGISTER,SCAN]_HWIF ioctls as DANGEROUS
and given the number of bugs we can assume that there are no real users:

* DMA has no chance of working because DMA resources are released by
  ide_unregister() and they are never allocated again.

* Since ide_init_hwif_ports() is used for ->io_ports[] setup the ioctls
  don't work for almost all hosts with "non-standard" (== non ISA-like)
  layout of IDE taskfile registers (there is a lot of such host drivers).

* ide_port_init_devices() is not called when probing IDE devices so:
  - drive->autotune is never set and IDE host/devices are not programmed
    for the correct PIO/DMA transfer modes (=> possible data corruption)
  - host specific I/O 32-bit and IRQ unmasking settings are not applied
    (=> possible data corruption)
  - host specific ->port_init_devs method is not called (=> no luck with
    ht6560b, qd65xx and opti621 host drivers)

* ->rw_disk method is not preserved (=> no HPT3xxN chipsets support).

* ->serialized flag is not preserved (=> possible data corruption when
   using icside, aec62xx (ATP850UF chipset), cmd640, cs5530, hpt366
   (HPT3xxN chipsets), rz1000, sc1200, dtc2278 and ht6560b host drivers).

* ->ack_intr method is not preserved (=> needed by ide-cris, buddha,
  gayle and macide host drivers).

* ->sata_scr[] and sata_misc[] is cleared by ide_unregister() and it
  isn't initialized again (SiI3112 support needs them).

* To issue an ioctl() there need to be at least one IDE device present
  in the system.

* ->cable_detect method is not preserved + it is not called when probing
  IDE devices so cable detection is broken (however since DMA support is
  also broken it doesn't really matter ;-).

* Some objects which may have already been freed in ide_unregister()
  are restored by ide_hwif_restore() (i.e. ->hwgroup).

* ide_register_hw() may unregister unrelated IDE ports if free ide_hwifs[]
  slot cannot be found.

* When IDE host drivers are modular unregistered port may be re-used by
  different host driver that owned it first causing subtle bugs.

Since we now have a proper warm-plug support remove these ioctls,
then remove no longer needed:
- ide_register_hw() and ide_hwif_restore() functions
- 'init_default' and 'restore' arguments of ide_unregister()
- zeroeing of hwif->{dma,extra}_* fields in ide_unregister()

As an added bonus IDE core code size shrinks by ~3kB (x86-32).

v2:
* fix ide_unregister() arguments in cleanup_module() (Andrew Morton).

v3:
* fix ide_unregister() arguments in palm_bk3710.c.

Fabio Checconi 4faa3c8150 cfq-iosched: do not leak ioc_data across iosched switches
When switching scheduler from cfq, cfq_exit_queue() does not clear
ioc->ioc_data, leaving a dangling pointer that can deceive the following
lookups when the iosched is switched back to cfq.  The pattern that can
trigger that is the following:

    - elevator switch from cfq to something else;
    - module unloading, with elv_unregister() that calls cfq_free_io_context()
      on ioc freeing the cic (via the .trim op);
    - module gets reloaded and the elevator switches back to cfq;
    - reallocation of a cic at the same address as before (with a valid key).

To fix it just assign NULL to ioc_data in __cfq_exit_single_io_context(),
that is called from the regular exit path and from the elevator switching
code.  The only path that frees a cic and is not covered is the error handling
one, but cic's freed in this way are never cached in ioc_data.

Andrea Arcangeli 00d61e3e8c Fix bounce setting for 64-bit
Looking a bit closer into this regression the reason this can't be
right is that dma_addr common default is BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH and most
machines have less than 4G. So if you do:

    if (b_pfn <= (min_t(u64, 0xffffffff, BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH) >> PAGE_SHIFT))
	dma = 1

that will translate to:

     if (BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH <= BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH)
     	dma = 1

So for 99% of hardware this will trigger unnecessary GFP_DMA
allocations and isa pooling operations.

Also note how the 32bit code still does b_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn.

I guess this is what you were looking after. I didn't verify but as
far as I can tell, this will stop the regression with isa dma
operations at boot for 99% of blkdev/memory combinations out there and
I guess this fixes the setups with >4G of ram and 32bit pci cards as
well (this also retains symmetry with the 32bit code).

Tejun Heo 6b00769fe1 block: add request->raw_data_len
With padding and draining moved into it, block layer now may extend
requests as directed by queue parameters, so now a request has two
sizes - the original request size and the extended size which matches
the size of area pointed to by bios and later by sgs.  The latter size
is what lower layers are primarily interested in when allocating,
filling up DMA tables and setting up the controller.

Both padding and draining extend the data area to accomodate
controller characteristics.  As any controller which speaks SCSI can
handle underflows, feeding larger data area is safe.

So, this patch makes the primary data length field, request->data_len,
indicate the size of full data area and add a separate length field,
request->raw_data_len, for the unmodified request size.  The latter is
used to report to higher layer (userland) and where the original
request size should be fed to the controller or device.

DMA start address and transfer size alignment for PC requests are
achieved using bio_copy_user() instead of bio_map_user().  This works
because bio_copy_user() always uses full pages and block DMA alignment

However, the implementation didn't update the last bio of the request
to make this padding visible to lower layers.  This patch makes
blk_rq_map_user() extend the last bio such that it includes the
padding area and the size of area pointed to by the request is

Jens Axboe 3bc217ffe6 block: kill swap_io_context()
It blindly copies everything in the io_context, including the lock.
That doesn't work so well for either lock ordering or lockdep.

There seems zero point in swapping io contexts on a request to request
merge, so the best point of action is to just remove it.

Jens Axboe 8bdd3f8a69 as-iosched: fix inconsistent ioc->lock context
Since it's acquired from irq context, all locking must be of the
irq safe variant. Most are already inside the queue lock (which
already disables interrupts), but the io scheduler rmmod path
always has irqs enabled and the put_io_context() path may legally
be called with irqs enabled (even if it isn't usually). So fixup
those two.

Jens Axboe 149a051f82 as-iosched: fix double locking bug in as_merged_requests()
If the two requests belong to the same io context, we will attempt
to lock the same lock twice. But swapping contexts is pointless in
that case, so just check for rioc == nioc before doing the double
lock and copy.

Jens Axboe 0871714e08 cfq-iosched: relax IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE restrictions
Currently you must be root to set idle io prio class on a process. This
is due to the fact that the idle class is implemented as a true idle
class, meaning that it will not make progress if someone else is
requesting disk access. Unfortunately this means that it opens DOS
opportunities by locking down file system resources, hence it is root
only at the moment.

This patch relaxes the idle class a little, by removing the truly idle
part (which entals a grace period with associated timer). The
modifications make the idle class as close to zero impact as can be done
while still guarenteeing progress. This means we can relax the root only
criteria as well.

James Bottomley fa0ccd837e block: implement drain buffers
These DMA drain buffer implementations in drivers are pretty horrible
to do in terms of manipulating the scatterlist.  Plus they're being
done at least in drivers/ide and drivers/ata, so we now have code
duplication.

The one use case for this, as I understand it is AHCI controllers doing
PIO mode to mmc devices but translating this to DMA at the controller
level.

So, what about adding a callback to the block layer that permits the
adding of the drain buffer for the problem devices.  The idea is that
you'd do this in slave_configure after you find one of these devices.

The beauty of doing it in the block layer is that it quietly adds the
drain buffer to the end of the sg list, so it automatically gets mapped
(and unmapped) without anything unusual having to be done to the
scatterlist in driver/scsi or drivers/ata and without any alteration to
the transfer length.

Jens Axboe 4ac845a2e9 block: cfq: make the io contect sharing lockless
The io context sharing introduced a per-ioc spinlock, that would protect
the cfq io context lookup. That is a regression from the original, since
we never needed any locking there because the ioc/cic were process private.

The cic lookup is changed from an rbtree construct to a radix tree, which
we can then use RCU to make the reader side lockless. That is the performance
critical path, modifying the radix tree is only done on process creation
(when that process first does IO, actually) and on process exit (if that
process has done IO).

As it so happens, radix trees are also much faster for this type of
lookup where the key is a pointer. It's a very sparse tree.
