We don't have to start a transaction in writepage() when all the blocks are a properly allocated. Even in ordered mode either the data has been written via write() and they are thus already added to transaction's list or the data was written via mmap and then it's random in which transaction they get written anyway. This should help VM to pageout dirty memory without blocking on transaction commits. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Enlarge default dirty ratios from 5/10 to 10/20. This fixes [Bug #12809] iozone regression with 2.6.29-rc6. The iozone benchmarks are performed on a 1200M file, with 8GB ram. iozone -i 0 -i 1 -i 2 -i 3 -i 4 -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m -b tmp.xls iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m -b tmp.xls The performance regression is triggered by commit 1cf6e7d8(mm: task dirty accounting fix), which makes more correct/thorough dirty accounting. The default 5/10 dirty ratios were picked (a) with the old dirty logic and (b) largely at random and (c) designed to be aggressive. In particular, that (a) means that having fixed some of the dirty accounting, maybe the real bug is now that it was always too aggressive, just hidden by an accounting issue. The enlarged 10/20 dirty ratios are just about enough to fix the regression.

Make libata more robust when parsing the multi_count field from a drive's identify data. This prevents us from attempting to use dubious multi_count values ad infinitum. Reset dev->multi_count to zero and reprobe it each time through this routine, as it can change on device reset. Also ensure that the reported "maximum" value is valid and is a power of two, and that the reported "count" value is valid and also a power of two. And that the "count" value is not greater than the "maximum" value. Signed-off-by: Mark Lord <mlord@pobox.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

For Marvell SoC chips, the HDD LED does not blink when there is disk I/O if NCQ is enabled. Add a quirk that enables blink mode for the LED while NCQ is enabled on any port of a SoC host controller. Normal LED function is restored when NCQ is not enabled on any port. The code to enable the blink mode is based on earlier code and suggestions from Frans Pop, Saeed Bishara, and possibly others.

Enable use of the "all ports" IRQ coalescing optimization for GEN_II / GEN_IIE chips that have dual host-controllers (8-ports). Currently only the 6081 chip qualifies, but other chips may come along someday. Rather than each half of the chip having to satisfy a local set of coalescing thresholds, use of this feature groups all ports together under a single set of thresholds.

Mark Lord authored
Add IRQ coalescing to sata_mv (off by default). This feature can reduce total interrupt overhead for RAID setups in some situations, by deferring the interrupt signal until one or both of: a) a specified io_count (completed SATA commands) is achieved, or b) a specified time interval elapses after an IO completion. For now, module parameters are used to set the irq_coalescing_io_count and irq_coalescing_usecs (timeout) globally. These may eventually be supplemented with sysfs attributes, so that thresholds can be set on-the-fly and on a per-chip (or even per-host_controller) basis.

This is necessary for use with the upcoming "mv_qc_issue_fis()" patch, but is being added separately here for easier code review. When using command issue via the "mv_qc_issue_fis()" mechanism, the initial ATA_BUSY bit does not show in the ATA status (shadow) register. This can confuse libata! So here we add a hook to fake ATA_BUSY for that situation, until the first time a BUSY, DRQ, or ERR bit is seen.

This also gets rid of any need for mv_mode_filter(). Using basic DMA on GEN_IIE requires setting an undocumented bit in an undocumented register. For safety, we clear that bit again when switching back to EDMA mode. To avoid a performance penalty when switching modes, we cache the register in port_priv, as already done for other regs.

There's no need to turn off intx explicitly on msi enable. This is automatically handled by pci. Drop it. This might be needed on machines if the BIOS turns intx off during boot. However, there's no evidence of such behavior for ahci and the only such case seems to be ICH5 PATA according to ata_piix. Also, given the way ahci operates, it's highly unlikely BIOS ever disables IRQ for the controller. However, as this change has slight possibility of introducing failure, please schedule it for #upstream. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>
