| * [RBTREE] Change rbtree off-tree marking in I/O schedulers.David Woodhouse2006-04-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | They were abusing the rb_color field to mark nodes which weren't currently on the tree. Fix that to use the same method as eventpoll did -- setting the parent pointer to point back to itself. And use the appropriate accessor macros for setting and reading the parent.

* | [PATCH] elevator switching raceJens Axboe2006-06-08
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be invoked with bad or NULL data. To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer. Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be run without the lock held. This isn't easily fixable, without also changing the mempool API. So split the initialization into two parts, and alloc-init operation and an attach operation. Then we can preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach inside the lock after we detach the old one. This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching with a very busy io load. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH 1/2] iosched: fix typo and barrier()OGAWA Hirofumi2006-04-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On rmmod path, cfq/as waits to make sure all io-contexts was freed. However, it's using complete(), not wait_for_completion(). I think barrier() is not enough in here. To avoid the following case, this patch replaces barrier() with smb_wmb(). cpu0 visibility cpu1 [ioc_gnone=NULL,ioc_count=1] ioc_gnone = &all_gone NULL,ioc_count=1 atomic_read(&ioc_count) NULL,ioc_count=1 wait_for_completion() NULL,ioc_count=0 atomic_sub_and_test() NULL,ioc_count=0 if ( && ioc_gone) [ioc_gone==NULL, so doesn't call complete()] &all_gone,ioc_count=0 Signed-off-by: OGAWA Hirofumi <hirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

* [BLOCK] as-iosched: update alias handlingTejun Heo2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | Unlike other ioscheds, as-iosched handles alias by chaing them using rq->queuelist. As aliased requests are very rare in the first place, this complicates merge/dispatch handling without meaningful performance improvement. This patch updates as-iosched to dump aliased requests into dispatch queue as other ioscheds do. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] as-iosched: remove state assertion in as_add_request()Jens Axboe2005-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | Kill the arq->state poison statement in as_add_request(), it can trigger for perfectly valid code that just reuses a request after io completion instead of freeing it and allocating a new one. We probably should introduce a blk_init_request() to start from scratch, but for now just kill it as we will be removing the as specific poisoning soon.

* [BLOCK] Move all core block layer code to new block/ directoryJens Axboe2005-11-04
drivers/block/ is right now a mix of core and driver parts. Lets move the core parts to a new top level directory. Al will move the fs/ related block parts to block/ next. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
