* [BLOCK] cfq-iosched: seek and async performance fixesJens Axboe2006-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Detect whether a given process is seeky and if so disable (mostly) the idle window if it is. We still allow just a little idle time, just enough to allow that process to submit a new request. That is needed to maintain fairness across priority groups. In some cases, we could setup several async queues. This is not optimal from a performance POV, since we want all async io in one queue to perform good sorting on it. It also impacted sync queues, as async io got too much slice time. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: small cfq_choose_req() optimizationAndreas Mohr2006-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | this is a small optimization to cfq_choose_req() in the CFQ I/O scheduler (this function is a semi-often invoked candidate in an oprofile log): by using a bit mask variable, we can use a simple switch() to check the various cases instead of having to query two variables for each check. Benefit: 251 vs. 285 bytes footprint of cfq_choose_req(). Also, common case 0 (no request wrapping) is now checked first in code.

* [PATCH] [BLOCK] cfq-iosched: change cfq io context linking from list to treeJens Axboe2006-03-28
| | | | | | | | | On setups with many disks, we spend a considerable amount of time looking up the process-disk mapping on each queue of io. Testing with a NULL based block driver, this costs 40-50% reduction in throughput for 1000 disks. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] mempool: use mempool_create_slab_pool()Matthew Dobson2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | Modify well over a dozen mempool users to call mempool_create_slab_pool() rather than calling mempool_create() with extra arguments, saving about 30 lines of code and increasing readability.

* [PATCH] stop leaking cfq_data in cfq_set_request()Al Viro2006-03-18
| | | | | | | | We don't need to pin ->key down; ->cfqq->cfqd will do that for us. Incidentally, that stops the leak we had - that reference was never dropped. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* [PATCH] fix cfq hash lookupsAl Viro2006-03-18
| | | | | | | | If somebody does a hash lookup for cfq_queue while ioprio of an async queue is elevated, they shouldn't end up stuck with lowered ioprio when we go back. Fix is to use ->org_ioprio{,class} in hash lookups. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: slice expiry fixupsJens Axboe2006-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | During testing of SLES10, we encountered a hang in the CFQ io scheduler. Turns out the deferred slice expiry logic is buggy, so remove that for now. We could be left with an idle queue that would never wake up. So kill that logic, always expire immediately. Also fix a potential timer race condition. Patch looks bigger than it is, because it moves a function. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [BLOCK] mark some block/ variables consArjan van de Ven2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | the patch below marks various read-only variables in block/* as const, so that gcc can optimize the use of them; eg gcc will replace the use by the value directly now and will even remove the memory usage of these.

* [BLOCK] cfq-iosched: fix slice_left calculationTejun Heo2005-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | When cfq slice expires, remainder of slice is calculated and stored in cfqq->slice_left. Current code calculates the opposite of remainder - how many jiffies the cfqq has used past slice end. This patch fixes the bug.
