* cfq-iosched: implement slower async initiate and queue ramp upJens Axboe2009-10-03

* cfq-iosched: delay async IO dispatch, if sync IO was just doneVivek Goyal2009-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | o Do not allow more than max_dispatch requests from an async queue, if some sync request has finished recently. This is in the hope that sync activity is still going on in the system and we might receive a sync request soon. Most likely from a sync queue which finished a request and we did not enable idling on it. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* cfq-iosched: add a knob for desktop interactivenessJens Axboe2009-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is basically identical to what Vivek Goyal posted, but combined into one and labelled 'desktop' instead of 'fairness'. The goal is to continue to improve on the latency side of things as it relates to interactiveness, keeping the questionable bits under this sysfs tunable so it would be easy for throughput-only people to turn off. Apart from adding the interactive sysfs knob, it also adds the behavioural change of allowing slice idling even if the hardware does tagged command queuing.

* Add a tracepoint for block request remappingJun'ichi Nomura2009-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | Since 2.6.31 now has request-based device-mapper, it's useful to have a tracepoint for request-remapping as well as bio-remapping.

* block: allow large discard requestsChristoph Hellwig2009-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently we set the bio size to the byte equivalent of the blocks to be trimmed when submitting the initial DISCARD ioctl. That means it is subject to the max_hw_sectors limitation of the HBA which is much lower than the size of a DISCARD request we can support. Add a separate max_discard_sectors tunable to limit the size for discard requests. We limit the max discard request size in bytes to 32bit as that is the limit for bio->bi_size. This could be much larger if we had a way to pass that information through the block layer. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: use normal I/O path for discard requestsChristoph Hellwig2009-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | prepare_discard_fn() was being called in a place where memory allocation was effectively impossible. This makes it inappropriate for all but the most trivial translations of Linux's DISCARD operation to the block command set. Additionally adding a payload there makes the ownership of the bio backing unclear as it's now allocated by the device driver and not the submitter as usual. It is replaced with QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD which is used to indicate whether the queue supports discard operations or not. blkdev_issue_discard now allocates a one-page, sector-length payload which is the right thing for the common ATA and SCSI implementations. The mtd implementation of prepare_discard_fn() is replaced with simply checking for the request being a discard. Largely based on a previous patch from Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> which did the prepare_discard_fn but not the different payload allocation yet.

* swapfile: avoid NULL pointer dereference in swapon when s_bdev is NULLSuresh Jayaraman2009-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | While testing Swap over NFS patchset, I noticed an oops that was triggered during swapon. Investigating further, the NULL pointer deference is due to the SSD device check/optimization in the swapon code that assumes s_bdev could never be NULL. inode->i_sb->s_bdev could be NULL in a few cases. For e.g. one such case is loopback NFS mount, there could be others as well. Fix this by ensuring s_bdev is not NULL before we try to deference s_bdev.

Fix it as per the following Alan's suggestion: Fun but it's actually not a bug and the fix is wrong in itself as the port may be closing but not yet being destructed, in which case it seems to do the wrong thing. Opening a tty that is closing (and could be closing for long periods) is supposed to return -EIO. I suspect a better way to deal with this and keep the old console timing is to split tty->shutdown into two functions. tty->shutdown() - called synchronously just before we dump the tty onto the waitqueue for destruction tty->cleanup() - called when the destructor runs. We would then do the shutdown part which can occur in IRQ context fine, before queueing the rest of the release (from tty->magic = 0 ... the end) to occur asynchronously The USB update in -next would then need a call like if (tty->cleanup) tty->cleanup(tty); at the top of the async function and the USB shutdown to be split between shutdown and cleanup as the USB resource cleanup and final tidy cannot occur synchronously as it needs to sleep. In other words the logic becomes final kref put make object unfindable async clean it up Signed-off-by: Dave Young <hidave.darkstar@gmail.com> [ rjw: Rebased on top of 2.6.31-git, reworked the changelog. ] Signed-off-by: "Rafael J.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On NOHZ systems the following timers, - tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick (tick_sched_timer) - hrtimer_start (tick_sched_timer) are reprogramming the clock events device far more often than needed. No specific test case was required to observe this effect. This occurres because there was no check to see if the currently removed or restarted hrtimer was: 1) the one which previously armed the clock events device. 2) going to be replaced by another timer which has the same expiry time. Avoid the reprogramming in hrtimer_force_reprogram when the new expiry value which is evaluated from the clock bases is equal to cpu_base->expires_next. This results in faster application startup time by ~4%.
