[PATCH] Allow file systems to differentiate between data and meta reads · 5404bc7a

Jens Axboe authored Aug 10, 2006

We can use this information for making more intelligent priority
decisions, and it will also be useful for blktrace.

[PATCH] ll_rw_blk: allow more flexibility for read_ahead_kb store · da20a20f

Jens Axboe authored Jul 21, 2006

It can make sense to set read-ahead larger than a single request.
We should not be enforcing such policy on the user. Additionally,
using the BLKRASET ioctl doesn't impose such a restriction. So
additionally we now expose identical behaviour through the two.

[PATCH] Add blk_start_queueing() helper · dc72ef4a

Jens Axboe authored Jul 20, 2006

CFQ implements this on its own now, but it's really block layer
knowledge. Tells a device queue to start dispatching requests to
the driver, taking care to unplug if needed. Also fixes the issue
where as/cfq will invoke a stopped queue, which we really don't
want.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: Kill O(N) runtime of cfq_resort_rr_list() · 53b03744

Jens Axboe authored Jul 28, 2006

Currently it scales with number of processes in that priority group,
which is potentially not very nice as it's called quite often.
Basically we always need to do tail inserts, except for the case of a
new process. So just mark/detect a queue as such.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: use new io context counting mechanism · 4050cf16

[PATCH] elevator: define ioc counting mechanism · 4a893e83

Jens Axboe authored Jul 22, 2006

None of the in-kernel primitives for handling "atomic" counting seem
to be a good fit. We need something that is essentially free for
incrementing/decrementing, while the read side may be more expensive
as we only ever need to do that when a device is removed from the
kernel.

Use a per-cpu variable for maintaining a per-cpu ioc count and define
a reading mechanism that just sums up the values.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: kill cfq_exit_lock · fc46379d

Jens Axboe authored Aug 29, 2006

cfq_exit_lock is protecting two things now:

- The per-ioc rbtree of cfq_io_contexts

- The per-cfqd linked list of cfq_io_contexts

The per-cfqd linked list can be protected by the queue lock, as it is (by
definition) per cfqd as the queue lock is.

The per-ioc rbtree is mainly used and updated by the process itself only.
The only outside use is the io priority changing. If we move the
priority changing to not browsing the rbtree, we can remove any locking
from the rbtree updates and lookup completely. Let the sys_ioprio syscall
just mark processes as having the iopriority changed and lazily update
the private cfq io contexts the next time io is queued, and we can
remove this locking as well.

[PATCH] cfq-iosched: cleanups, fixes, dead code removal · 89850f7e

Jens Axboe authored Jul 22, 2006

A collection of little fixes and cleanups:

- We don't use the 'queued' sysfs exported attribute, since the
  may_queue() logic was rewritten. So kill it.

- Remove dead defines.

- cfq_set_active_queue() can be rewritten cleaner with else if conditions.

- Several places had cfq_exit_cfqq() like logic, abstract that out and
  use that.

- Annotate the cfqq kmem_cache_alloc() so the allocator knows that this
  is a repeat allocation if it fails with __GFP_WAIT set. Allows the
  allocator to start freeing some memory, if needed. CFQ already loops for
  this condition, so might as well pass the hint down.

- Remove cfqd->rq_starved logic. It's not needed anymore after we dropped
  the crq allocation in cfq_set_request().

- Remove uneeded parameter passing.

[PATCH] Remove ->rq_status from struct request · cdd60262

Jens Axboe authored Jul 28, 2006

After Christophs SCSI change, the only usage left is RQ_ACTIVE
and RQ_INACTIVE. The block layer sets RQ_INACTIVE right before freeing
the request, so any check for RQ_INACTIVE in a driver is a bug and
indicates use-after-free.

So kill/clean the remaining users, straight forward.

[PATCH] elevator: move the backmerging logic into the elevator core · 9817064b

Jens Axboe authored Jul 28, 2006

Right now, every IO scheduler implements its own backmerging (except for
noop, which does no merging). That results in duplicated code for
essentially the same operation, which is never a good thing. This patch
moves the backmerging out of the io schedulers and into the elevator
core. We save 1.6kb of text and as a bonus get backmerging for noop as
well. Win-win!

[PATCH] i2c: Prevent deadlock on i2c client registration · 77ed74da

Jean Delvare authored Sep 30, 2006

Delay the call to adapter->client_register() until after we are
certain that the client registration is a success. At this point the
client is fully initialized and we no longer hold the adapter->clist
mutex, so this should prevent the deadlocks if the client_register()
callback needs to take that mutex too, as is the case for the bttv
driver.

This fixes bug #7234.
