Mike Christie c0d4d573fe [PATCH] Fix SG_IO timeout jiffy conversion
Commit 85e04e371b cleaned up the timeout
conversion, but did it exactly the wrong way.  We get msecs from user
space, and should convert them into jiffies. Not the other way around.

Here is a fix with the overflow check sg.c has added in.  This fixes DVD
burnign with Nero.

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 719d34027e [PATCH] cfq-iosched: tighten allow merge criteria
The logic in cfq_allow_merge() wasn't clear enough - basically allow
merging for the same queues only.  Do a fast check for 'rq and bio both
sync/async' before doing the cfqq hash lookup.

This is verified to work with the fixed elv_try_merge() from commit
bb4067e341.

The recent io scheduler allow_merge commit left the block layer with

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.

This patch provides fault-injection capability for disk IO.

Boot option:

fail_make_request=<probability>,<interval>,<space>,<times>

	<interval> -- specifies the interval of failures.

	<probability> -- specifies how often it should fail in percent.

	<space> -- specifies the size of free space where disk IO can be issued
		   safely in bytes.

	<times> -- specifies how many times failures may happen at most.

Debugfs:

/debug/fail_make_request/interval
/debug/fail_make_request/probability
/debug/fail_make_request/specifies
/debug/fail_make_request/times

Example:

	fail_make_request=10,100,0,-1
	echo 1 > /sys/blocks/hda/hda1/make-it-fail

generic_make_request() on /dev/hda1 fails once per 10 times.

David Howells 65f27f3844 WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context data
Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.

For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.

To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct.  This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.

Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function.  This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated..  This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).

However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems.  But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().

In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default.  Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

Jens Axboe c1b707d253 [PATCH] CFQ: bad locking in changed_ioprio()
When the ioprio code recently got juggled a bit, a bug was introduced.
changed_ioprio() is no longer called with interrupts disabled, so using
plain spin_lock() on the queue_lock is a bug.

Jens Axboe 0261d6886e [PATCH] CFQ: use irq safe locking in cfq_cic_link()
If cfq_set_request() is called for a new process AND a non-fs io
request (so that __GFP_WAIT may not be set), cfq_cic_link() may
use spin_lock_irq() and spin_unlock_irq() with interrupts already
disabled.

Fix is to always use irq safe locking in cfq_cic_link()

Andrew Morton 3fcfab16c5 [PATCH] separate bdi congestion functions from queue congestion functions
Separate out the concept of "queue congestion" from "backing-dev congestion".
Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.

The blk_* congestion functions are retained, as wrappers around the core
backing-dev congestion functions.

This proper layering is needed so that NFS can cleanly use the congestion
functions, and so that CONFIG_BLOCK=n actually links.

Thomas Maier 79e2de4bc5 [PATCH] export clear_queue_congested and set_queue_congested
Export the clear_queue_congested() and set_queue_congested() functions
located in ll_rw_blk.c

The functions are renamed to blk_clear_queue_congested() and
blk_set_queue_congested().

(needed in the pktcdvd driver's bio write congestion control)

elv_iosched_show function iterates other elv_list, hence
elv_list_lock should be got.

Alasdair G Kergon 7006f6eca8 [PATCH] dm: export blkdev_driver_ioctl
Export blkdev_driver_ioctl for device-mapper.

If we get as far as the device-mapper ioctl handler, we know the ioctl is not
a standard block layer BLK* one, so we don't need to check for them a second
time and can call blkdev_driver_ioctl() directly.
