init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs.
But it can only export it in debugfs root directory.
Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject
data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem.
The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and
export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like
/sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request.
init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request. So this
introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a
directory in the arbitrary directory and replace
init_fault_attr_dentries().

Allow the strict mode to be set by writing '2' to the sysfs control

where '2' is a more aggressive setting than just being turned on.

USB surprise removal of sr is triggering an oops in
scsi_dispatch_command(). What seems to be happening is that USB is
hanging on to a queue reference until the last close of the upper
device, so the crash is caused by surprise remove of a mounted CD
followed by attempted unmount.
The problem is that USB doesn't issue its final commands as part of
the SCSI teardown path, but on last close when the block queue is long
gone. The long term fix is probably to make sr do the teardown in the
same way as sd (so remove all the lower bits on ejection, but keep the
upper disk alive until last close of user space). However, the
current oops can be simply fixed by not allowing any commands to be
sent to a dead queue.

When I test fio script with big I/O depth, I found the total throughput drops
compared to some relative small I/O depth. The reason is the thread accumulates
big requests in its plug list and causes some delays (surely this depends
on CPU speed).
I thought we'd better have a threshold for requests. When a threshold reaches,
this means there is no request merge and queue lock contention isn't severe
when pushing per-task requests to queue, so the main advantages of blk plug
don't exist. We can force a plug list flush in this case.
With this, my test throughput actually increases and almost equals to small
I/O depth. Another side effect is irq off time decreases in blk_flush_plug_list()
for big I/O depth.
The BLK_MAX_REQUEST_COUNT is choosen arbitarily, but 16 is efficiently to
reduce lock contention to me. But I'm open here, 32 is ok in my test too.

Due to the recently identified overflow in read_capacity_16() it was
possible for max_discard_sectors to be zero but still have discards
enabled on the associated device's queue.
Eliminate the possibility for blkdev_issue_discard to infinitely loop.
Interestingly this issue wasn't identified until a device, whose
discard_granularity was 0 due to read_capacity_16 overflow, was consumed
by blk_stack_limits() to construct limits for a higher-level DM
multipath device. The multipath device's resulting limits never had the
discard limits stacked because blk_stack_limits() will only do so if
the bottom device's discard_granularity != 0. This resulted in the
multipath device's limits.max_discard_sectors being 0.

Currently, only open(2) is defined as the 'clearing' point. It has
two roles - first, it's an acknowledgement from userland indicating
that the event has been received and kernel can clear pending states
and proceed to generate more events. Secondly, it's passed on to
device drivers as a hint indicating that a synchronization point has
been reached and it might want to take a deeper look at the device.
The latter currently is only used by sr which uses two different
mechanisms - GET_EVENT_MEDIA_STATUS_NOTIFICATION and TEST_UNIT_READY
to discover events, where the former is lighter weight and safe to be
used repeatedly but may not provide full coverage. Among other
things, GET_EVENT can't detect media removal while TUR can.
This patch makes close(2) - blkdev_put() - indicate clearing hint for
MEDIA_CHANGE to drivers. disk_check_events() is renamed to
disk_flush_events() and updated to take @mask for events to flush
which is or'd to ev->clearing and will be passed to the driver on the
next ->check_events() invocation.
This change makes sr generate MEDIA_CHANGE when media is ejected from
userland - e.g. with eject(1).
Note: Given the current usage, it seems @clearing hint is needlessly
complex. disk_clear_events() can simply clear all events and the hint
can be boolean @flush.

disk_block_events() should guarantee that the event work is not in
flight on return and once blocked it shouldn't issue further
cancellations.
Because there was no synchronization between the first blocker doing

both guarantees - event work could be in flight and cancellation could

This patch is part of fix for triggering of WARN_ON_ONCE() in
disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662
disk_clear_events() blocks events, schedules and flushes the event
work. It expects the work to have started execution on schedule and
finished on return from flush. WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers if the event
work hasn't executed as expected. This problem happens because
__disk_block_events() fails to guarantee that the event work item is
not in flight on return from the function in race-free manner. The
problem is two-fold and this patch addresses one of them.
When __disk_block_events() is called with @sync == %false, it bumps
event block count, calls cancel_delayed_work() and return. This makes
it impossible to guarantee that event polling is not in flight on
return from syncing __disk_block_events() - if the first blocker was
non-syncing, polling could still be in progress and later syncing ones
would assume that the first blocker already canceled it.
Making __disk_block_events() cancel_sync regardless of block count
isn't feasible either as it may race with forced event checking in
disk_clear_events().
As disk_check_events() is the only user of non-syncing
__disk_block_events(), updating it to directly cancel and schedule
event work is the easiest way to solve the issue.
Note that there's another bug in __disk_block_events() and this patch
doesn't fix the issue completely. Later patch will fix the other bug.

Hi, Jens,
If you recall, I posted an RFC patch for this back in July of last year:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/13/279
The basic problem is that a process can issue a never-ending stream of
async direct I/Os to the same sector on a device, thus starving out
other I/O in the system (due to the way the alias handling works in both
cfq and deadline). The solution I proposed back then was to start
dispatching from the fifo after a certain number of aliases had been
dispatched. Vivek asked why we had to treat aliases differently at all,
and I never had a good answer. So, I put together a simple patch which
allows aliases to be added to the rb tree (it adds them to the right,
though that doesn't matter as the order isn't guaranteed anyway). I
think this is the preferred solution, as it doesn't break up time slices
in CFQ or batches in deadline. I've tested it, and it does solve the
starvation issue. Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Jeff

Add cgroup subsystem callbacks for per-thread attachment in atomic contexts
Add can_attach_task(), pre_attach(), and attach_task() as new callbacks

are for per-thread operations, to be called potentially many times when
attaching an entire threadgroup.
Also, the old "bool threadgroup" interface is removed, as replaced by
this. All subsystems are modified for the new interface - of note is
cpuset, which requires from/to nodemasks for attach to be globally scoped
(though per-cpuset would work too) to persist from its pre_attach to
attach_task and attach.

9fd097b149 (block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for legacy/fringe
drivers) removed DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from legacy/fringe block
drivers which have inadequate ->check_events(). Combined with earlier
change 7c88a168da (block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to
userland), this enables using ->check_events() for internal processing
while avoiding enabling in-kernel block event polling which can lead
to infinite event loop.
Unfortunately, this made many drivers including floppy without any bit
set in disk->events and ->async_events in which case disk_add_events()
simply skipped allocation of disk->ev, which disables whole event
handling. As ->check_events() is still used during open processing
for revalidation, this can lead to open failure.
This patch always allocates disk->ev if ->check_events is implemented.
In the long term, it would make sense to simply include the event
structure inline into genhd as it's now used by virtually all block
devices.

When struct cfq_data allocation fails, cic_index need to be freed.

The 'group_changed' variable is initialized to 0 and never changed, so
checking the variable is meaningless.
It is a leftover from 0bbfeb8320 ("cfq-iosched: Always provide group
iosolation."). Let's get rid of it.
