It's never grabbed from irq context, so just make it plain spin_lock(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Currently we scale the mempool sizes depending on memory installed in the machine, except for the bio pool itself which sits at a fixed 256 entry pre-allocation. There's really no point in "optimizing" this OOM path, we just need enough preallocated to make progress. A single unit is enough, lets scale it down to 2 just to be on the safe side. This patch saves ~150kb of pinned kernel memory on a 32-bit box. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

We often lookup the same queue many times in succession, so cache the last looked up queue to avoid browsing the rbtree. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

cfq hash is no more necessary. We always can get cfqq from io context. cfq_get_io_context_noalloc() function is introduced, because we don't want to allocate cic on merging and checking may_queue. In order to identify sync queue we've used hash key = CFQ_KEY_ASYNC. Since hash is eliminated we need to use other criterion: sync flag for queue is added. In all places where we dig in rb_tree we're in current context, so no additional locking is required. Advantages of this patch: no additional memory for hash, no seeking in hash, code is cleaner. But it is necessary now to seek cic in per-ioc rbtree, but it is faster: - most processes work only with few devices - most systems have only few block devices - it is a rb-tree Signed-off-by: Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@openvz.org> Changes by me: - Merge into CFQ devel branch - Get rid of cfq_get_io_context_noalloc() - Fix various bugs with dereferencing cic->cfqq[] with offset other than 0 or 1. - Fix bug in cfqq setup, is_sync condition was reversed. - Fix bug where only bio_sync() is used, we need to check for a READ too Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

It's only used for preemption now that the IDLE and RT queues also use the rbtree. If we pass an 'add_front' variable to cfq_service_tree_add(), we can set ->rb_key to 0 to force insertion at the front of the tree. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Currently CFQ does a linked insert into the current list for RT queues. We can just factor the class into the rb insertion, and then we don't have to treat RT queues in a special way. It's faster, too. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

For cases where the rbtree is mainly used for sorting and min retrieval, a nice speedup of the rbtree code is to maintain a cache of the leftmost node in the tree. Also spotted in the CFS CPU scheduler code. Improved by Alan D. Brunelle <Alan.Brunelle@hp.com> by updating the leftmost hint in cfq_rb_first() if it isn't set, instead of only updating it on insert.

Drawing on some inspiration from the CFS CPU scheduler design, overhaul the pending cfq_queue concept list management. Currently CFQ uses a doubly linked list per priority level for sorting and service uses. Kill those lists and maintain an rbtree of cfq_queue's, sorted by when to service them. This unfortunately means that the ionice levels aren't as strong anymore, will work on improving those later. We only scale the slice time now, not the number of times we service. This means that latency is better (for all priority levels), but that the distinction between the highest and lower levels aren't as big. The diffstat speaks for itself. cfq-iosched.c | 363 +++++++++++++++++--------------------------------- 1 file changed, 125 insertions(+), 238 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

- Move the queue_new flag clear to when the queue is selected - Only select the non-first queue in cfq_get_best_queue(), if there's a substantial difference between the best and first. - Get rid of ->busy_rr - Only select a close cooperator, if the current queue is known to take a while to "think".

- Implement logic for detecting cooperating processes, so we choose the best available queue whenever possible. - Improve residual slice time accounting. - Remove dead code: we no longer see async requests coming in on sync queues. That part was removed a long time ago. That means that we can also remove the difference between cfq_cfqq_sync() and cfq_cfqq_class_sync(), they are now indentical. And we can kill the on_dispatch array, just make it a counter. - Allow a process to go into the current list, if it hasn't been serviced in this scheduler tick yet. Possible future improvements including caching the cfqq lookup in cfq_close_cooperator(), so we don't have to look it up twice. cfq_get_best_queue() should just use that last decision instead of doing it again.

When testing the syslet async io approach, I discovered that CFQ sometimes didn't perform as well as expected. cfq_should_preempt() needs to better check for cooperating tasks, so fix that by allowing preemption of an equal priority queue if the recently queued request is as good a candidate for IO as the one we are currently waiting for.

Commit 404d5b18 changed the definition of dev_dbg in the !DEBUG case from being a #define to being a static inline. There was code in drivers/ps3/vuart.c to do exactly that, which fails to compile now. This fixes it by removing the redefinition, as the redefinition is now superfluous.

Recently, someone fixed a syntax error in the HTDMSOUND driver introduced 4 years ago. Unfortunately not by trying to compile this driver for his hardware but by code inspection - which seems to be a strong indication that there are no users left for this OSS sound driver.
