2005-12-12[PATCH] cciss: double put_disk()Jens Axboe
This undoes the put_disk patch I sent in before. If I had been paying attention I would have seen that we call put_disk from free_hba during driver unload. That's the only time we want to call it. If it's called from deregister disk we may remove the controller (cNd0) unintentionally.

2005-11-09[PATCH] fix floppy.c to store correct ro/rw status in underlying gendiskJon Masters
Evgeny Stambulchik found that doing the following always worked: # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/ mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only # mount -o remount,rw /mnt/floppy # echo $? 0 This is the case because the block device /dev/fd0 is writeable but the floppy disk is marked protected. A fix is to simply have floppy_open mark the underlying gendisk policy according to reality (since the VFS doesn't provide a way for do_remount_sb to inquire as to the current device status).

2005-11-07[PATCH] as: cooperating processesNick Piggin
Introduce the notion of cooperating processes (those that submit requests close to one another), and use these statistics to make better choices about whether or not to do anticipatory waiting. Help and analysis from Seetharami Seelam <seelam@cs.utep.edu> Performance testing from Seelam: I set up my system and executed a couple of tests that I used for OLS. I tested with AS, cooperative process patch merged in -mm tree (which I called Nick, below) and the cooperative patch with modifications to as_update_iohist (which I called Seelam). I used a dual-processor (2.28GHz Pentium 4 Xeon) system, with 1 GB main memory and 1 MB L2 cache, running Linux 2.6.9. Only a single processor is used for the experiments. I used 7.2K RPM Maxtor 10GB drive configured with ext2 file system. Experiment 1 (ex1) consists of reading one Linux source trees using find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null. Experiment 2 (ex2) consists of reading two disjoint Linux source trees using find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null. Experiment 3 (ex3) consists of streaming read of a 2GB file in the background and 1 instance of the chunk reads in Experiment 1. Timings for reading the Linux source are shown below: AS Nick Seelam ex1: 0m25.813s 0m27.859s 0m27.640s ex2: 1m11.468s 1m13.918s 1m5.869s ex3: 81m44.352s 10m38.572s 6m47.994s The difference between the numbers in Experiment 3 must be due to the code in as_update_iohist.

2005-11-01[PATCH] blk: fix dangling pointer access in __elv_add_requestTejun Heo
cfq's add_req_fn callback may invoke q->request_fn directly and depending on low-level driver used and timing, a queued request may be finished & deallocated before add_req_fn callback returns. So, __elv_add_request must not access rq after it's passed to add_req_fn callback. This patch moves rq_mergeable test above add_req_fn(). This may result in q->last_merge pointing to REQ_NOMERGE request if add_req_fn callback sets it but as RQ_NOMERGE is checked again when blk layer actually tries to merge requests, this does not cause any problem.

2005-11-01[BLOCK] Unify the seperate read/write io stat fields into arraysJens Axboe
Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the actual io direction is.

2005-11-01[BLOCK] Update read/write block io statistics at completion timeJens Axboe
Right now we do it at queueing time, which works alright for reads (since they are usually sync), but not for async writes since we can queue io a lot faster than we can complete it. This makes the vmstat output look extremely bursty. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2005-10-31[PATCH] noop-iosched: avoid corrupted request mergingJens Axboe
Tejun Heo notes: "I'm currently debugging this. The problem is that we are using the generic dispatch queue directly in the noop sched and merging is NOT allowed on dispatch queues but generic handling of last_merge tries to merge requests. I'm still trying to verify this, so I'll be back with results soon." In the meantime, disable merging for noop by setting REQ_NOMERGE in elevator_noop_add_request(). Eventually, we should add a noop_list and do the dispatching like in the other io schedulers. Merging is still beneficial for noop (and it has always done it).

2005-10-30[PATCH] fix missing includesTim Schmielau
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after this disentangling (patch to follow later). However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this. In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts will pick it up again in the next round.

2005-10-30[PATCH] block cleanups: Fix iosched module refcount leakNate Diller
If the requested I/O scheduler is already in place, elevator_switch simply leaves the queue alone, and returns. However, it forgets to call elevator_put, so 'echo [current_sched] > /sys/block/[dev]/queue/scheduler' will leak a reference, causing the current_sched module to be permanently pinned in memory.

Instead of walking the tasklist in cfq-iosched move that into elv_unregister. The added benefit is that with this change the as ioscheduler might be might unloadable more easily aswell.

2005-10-29[PATCH] blk: fix merge bug in as-ioschedTejun Heo
as-iosched deals with aliased requests differently from other ioscheds. It links together aliased requests using rq->queuelist instead of spilling alises to dispatch queue like other ioscheds do. Requests linked in this way cannot be merged. Unfortunately, generic q->last_merge handling patch didn't take this into account and q->last_merge could be set to an aliased request resulting in Badness, corrupt list and eventually panic. This explicitly marks aliased requests to be unmergeable. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
