      cfq-iosched: cleanup unreachable code · c16632ba
      Corrado Zoccolo authored 
      cfq_should_idle returns false for no-idle queues that are not the last,
so the control flow will never reach the removed code in a state that
satisfies the if condition.
The unreachable code was added to emulate previous cfq behaviour for
non-NCQ rotational devices. My tests show that even without it, the
performances and fairness are comparable with previous cfq, thanks to
the fact that all seeky queues are grouped together, and that we idle at
the end of the tree.

      block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages · 2d4dc890
      Ilya Loginov authored 
      Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

      cfq: Make use of service count to estimate the rb_key offset · 3586e917
      Gui Jianfeng authored 
      For the moment, different workload cfq queues are put into different
service trees. But CFQ still uses "busy_queues" to estimate rb_key
offset when inserting a cfq queue into a service tree. I think this
isn't appropriate, and it should make use of service tree count to do
this estimation. This patch is for for-2.6.33 branch.

      cciss: change Cmd_sg_list.sg_chain_dma type to dma_addr_t · 32a87c01
      Alex Chiang authored 
      A recent commit broke the ia64 build:

	Author: Don Brace <brace@beardog.cce.hp.com>
	Date:   Thu Nov 12 12:50:01 2009 -0600

	cciss: Add enhanced scatter-gather support.

because of this hunk:

	--- a/drivers/block/cciss.h
	+++ b/drivers/block/cciss.h
	+struct Cmd_sg_list {
	+       SGDescriptor_struct     *sgchain;
	+       dma64_addr_t            sg_chain_dma;
	+       int                     chain_block_size;
	+};

The issue is that dma64_addr_t isn't #define'd on ia64.

The way that we're using Cmd_sg_list.sg_chain_dma is to hold an
address returned from pci_map_single().

	+               temp64.val = pci_map_single(h->pdev,
	+                                 h->cmd_sg_list[c->cmdindex]->sgchain,
	+                                 len, dir);
	+
	+               h->cmd_sg_list[c->cmdindex]->sg_chain_dma = temp64.val;

pci_map_single() returns a dma_addr_t too.

This code will still work even on a 32-bit x86 build, where
dma_addr_t is defined to be a u32 because it will simply be
promoted to the __u64 that temp64.val is defined as.

Thus, declaring Cmd_sg_list.sg_chain_dma as dma_addr_t is safe.

      On driver unload, only free up the extra scatter gather data if they were
allocated in the first place (the controller supports it) and don't forget
to free up the sg_cmd_list array of pointers.

      partitions: read whole sector with EFI GPT header · 87038c2d
      Karel Zak authored 
      The size of EFI GPT header is not static, but whole sector is
allocated for the header. The HeaderSize field must be greater
than 92 (= sizeof(struct gpt_header) and must be less than or
equal to the logical block size.

It means we have to read whole sector with the header, because the
header crc32 checksum is calculated according to HeaderSize.

For more details see UEFI standard (version 2.3, May 2009):
  - 5.3.1 GUID Format overview, page 93
  - Table 13. GUID Partition Table Header, page 96

      partitions: use sector size for EFI GPT · 7d13af32
      Karel Zak authored 
      Currently, kernel uses strictly 512-byte sectors for EFI GPT parsing.
That's wrong.

UEFI standard (version 2.3, May 2009, 5.3.1 GUID Format overview, page
95) defines that LBA is always based on the logical block size. It
means bdev_logical_block_size() (aka BLKSSZGET) for Linux.

This patch removes static sector size from EFI GPT parser.

The problem is reproducible with the latest GNU Parted:

 # modprobe scsi_debug dev_size_mb=50 sector_size=4096

  # ./parted /dev/sdb print
  Model: Linux scsi_debug (scsi)
  Disk /dev/sdb: 52.4MB
  Sector size (logical/physical): 4096B/4096B
  Partition Table: gpt

  Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name     Flags
   1      24.6kB  3002kB  2978kB               primary
   2      3002kB  6001kB  2998kB               primary
   3      6001kB  9003kB  3002kB               primary

  # blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdb
  # dmesg | tail -1
   sdb: unknown partition table      <---- !!!

with this patch:

  # blockdev --rereadpt /dev/sdb
  # dmesg | tail -1
   sdb: sdb1 sdb2 sdb3

      cfq-iosched: fix next_rq computation · cf7c25cf
      Corrado Zoccolo authored 
      Cfq has a bug in computation of next_rq, that affects transition
between multiple sequential request streams in a single queue
(e.g.: two sequential buffered writers of the same priority),
causing the alternation between the two streams for a transient period.

dispatched request, and not affected by merging.
