| * [BLOCK] update IDE to use new blk_ordered for barriersTejun Heo2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Update IDE to use new blk_ordered. This change makes the following behavior changes. * Partial completion of the barrier request is handled as failure of the whole ordered sequence. No more partial completion for barrier requests. * Any failure of pre or post flush request results in failure of the whole ordered sequence. So, successfully completed ordered sequence guarantees that all requests prior to the barrier made to physical medium and, then, the while barrier request made to the physical medium.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | add @uptodate argument to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn(). there's no generic way to pass error code to request completion function, making generic error handling of non-fs request difficult (rq->errors is driver-specific and each driver uses it differently). this patch adds @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn(). for fs requests, this doesn't really matter, so just using the same uptodate argument used in the last call to end_that_request_first() should suffice. imho, this can also help the generic command-carrying request jens is working on.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was harmless, but for the case of a device that had no irq pre-defined we would incorrectly suggest that "usepirqmask" might make a difference.

* | [PATCH] Suspend support for libataJens Axboe2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds suspend patch to libata, and ata_piix in particular. For most low level drivers, they should just need to add the 4 hooks to work. As I can only test ata_piix, I didn't enable it for more though. Suspend support is the single most important feature on a notebook, and most new notebooks have sata drives. It's quite embarrassing that we _still_ do not support this. Right now, it's perfectly possible to suspend the drive in mid-transfer.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code to overwrite/reread for addressing read errors in raid1/raid10 currently assumes that the read will not alter the buffer which could be used to write to the next device.

* | [PATCH] md: remove personality numbering from mdNeilBrown2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | md supports multiple different RAID level, each being implemented by a 'personality' (which is often in a separate module). These personalities have fairly artificial 'numbers'. The numbers are use to: 1- provide an index into an array where the various personalities are recorded 2- identify the module (via an alias) which implements are particular personality. Neither of these uses really justify the existence of personality numbers. The array can be replaced by a linked list which is searched (array lookup only happens very rarely). Module identification can be done using an alias based on level rather than 'personality' number. The current 'raid5' modules support two level (4 and 5) but only one personality. This slight awkwardness (which was handled in the mapping from level to personality) can be better handled by allowing raid5 to register 2 personalities. With this change in place, the core md module does not need to have an exhaustive list of all possible personalities, so other personalities can be added independently. This patch also moves the check for chunksize being non-zero into the ->run routines for the personalities that need it, rather than having it in core-md. This has a side effect of allowing 'faulty' and 'linear' not to have a chunk-size set.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With this patch it is possible to poll /proc/mdstat to detect arrays appearing or disappearing, to detect failures, recovery starting, recovery completing, and devices being added and removed. It is similar to the poll-ability of /proc/mounts, though different in that: We always report that the file is readable (because face it, it is, even if only for EOF). We report POLLPRI when there is a change so that select() can detect it as an exceptional event. Not only are these exceptional events, but that is the mechanism that the current 'mdadm' uses to watch for events (It also polls after a timeout). (We also report POLLERR like /proc/mounts). Finally, we only reset the per-file event counter when the start of the file is read, rather than when poll() returns an event. This is more robust as it means that an fd will continue to report activity to poll/select until the program clearly responds to that activity. md_new_event takes an 'mddev' which isn't currently used, but it will be soon.
