* [PATCH] device-mapper disk statistics: timingJun'ichi "Nick" Nomura2006-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Record I/O timing statistics The start time is added to struct dm_io, an existing structure allocated privately internally within dm and attached to each incoming bio. We export disk_round_stats() from block/ll_rw_blk.c instead of creating a private clone.

* [BLOCK] ll_rw_blk: make max_sectors and max_hw_sectors unsigned intsJens Axboe2006-01-24

| * [BLOCK] ll_rw_blk: Enable out-of-order request completions through softirqJens Axboe2006-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Request completion can be a quite heavy process, since it needs to iterate through the entire request and complete the bio's it holds. This patch adds blk_complete_request() which moves this processing into a dedicated block softirq. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* | [BLOCK] Kill blk_attempt_remerge()Jens Axboe2006-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's a broken interface, it's done way too late. And apparently it triggers slab problems in recent kernels as well (most likely after the generic dispatch code was merged). So kill it, ide-cd is the only user of it. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

* [BLOCK] reimplement handling of barrier requestTejun Heo2006-01-06

* [BLOCK] add @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn()Tejun Heo2006-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [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.

* [SCSI] seperate max_sectors from max_hw_sectorsMike Christie2005-12-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - export __blk_put_request and blk_execute_rq_nowait needed for async REQ_BLOCK_PC requests - seperate max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for block/scsi_ioctl.c and SG_IO bio.c helpers per Jens's last comments. Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low value to overcome memory and feedback issues. Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024, drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.
