* Slab allocators: Replace explicit zeroing with __GFP_ZEROChristoph Lameter2007-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | kmalloc_node() and kmem_cache_alloc_node() were not available in a zeroing variant in the past. But with __GFP_ZERO it is possible now to do zeroing while allocating. Use __GFP_ZERO to remove the explicit clearing of memory via memset whereever we can.

* Make BLK_DEV_BSG depend strictly on SCSI=yLinus Torvalds2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The SCSI code can be compiled modular, but BLK_DEV_BSG currently cannot, and depends on the SCSI layer. So make sure that it depends on the SCSI layer being compiled in, not just available as a module. Noticed by Jeff Garzik and S.Çağlar Onur.

* improve bsg device allocationFUJITA Tomonori2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch addresses on two issues on bsg device allocation. - the current maxium number of bsg devices is 256. It's too small if we allocate bsg devices to all SCSI devices, transport entities, etc. This increses the maxium number to 32768 (taken from the sg driver). - SCSI devices are dynamically added and removed. Currently, bsg can't handle it well since bsd_device->minor is simply increased.

* bsg: add a request_queue argument to scsi_cmd_ioctl()FUJITA Tomonori2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | bsg uses scsi_cmd_ioctl() for some SCSI/sg ioctl commands. scsi_cmd_ioctl() gets a request queue from a gendisk arguement. This prevents bsg being bound to SCSI devices that don't have a gendisk (like OSD). This adds a request_queue argument to scsi_cmd_ioctl(). The SCSI/sg ioctl commands doesn't use a gendisk so it's safe for any SCSI devices to use scsi_cmd_ioctl().

* [BLOCK] drop unnecessary bvec rewinding from flush_dry_bio_endioTejun Heo2007-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Barrier bios are completed twice - once after the barrier write itself is done and again after the whole sequence is complete. flush_dry_bio_endio() is for the first completion. It doesn't really complete the bio. It rewinds bvec and resets bio so that it can be completed again when the whole barrier sequence is complete. The bvec rewinding code has the following problems. 1. The rewinding code is wrong because filesystems may pass bvec with non zero bv_offset. 2. The block layer doesn't guarantee anything about the state of bvec array on request completion. bv_offset and len are updated iff __end_that_request_first() completes the bvec partially. Because of #2, #1 doesn't really matter (nobody cares whether bvec is re-wound correctly or not) but then again by not doing unwinding at all, we'll always give back the same bvec to the caller as full bvec completion doesn't alter bvecs and the final completion is always full completion. Drop unnecessary rewinding code. This is spotted by Neil Brown. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* block: always requeue !fs requests at the frontTejun Heo2007-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SCSI marks internal commands with REQ_PREEMPT and push it at the front of the request queue using blk_execute_rq(). When entering suspended or frozen state, SCSI devices are quiesced using scsi_device_quiesce(). In quiesced state, only REQ_PREEMPT requests are processed. This is how SCSI blocks other requests out while suspending and resuming. As all internal commands are pushed at the front of the queue, this usually works. Unfortunately, this interacts badly with ordered requeueing. To preserve request order on requeueing (due to busy device, active EH or other failures), requests are sorted according to ordered sequence on requeue if IO barrier is in progress. The following sequence deadlocks. 1. IO barrier sequence issues. 2. Suspend requested. Queue is quiesced with part or all of IO barrier sequence at the front. 3. During suspending or resuming, SCSI issues internal command which gets deferred and requeued for some reason. As the command is issued after the IO barrier in #1, ordered requeueing code puts the request after IO barrier sequence. 4. The device is ready to process requests again but still is in quiesced state and the first request of the queue isn't REQ_PREEMPT, so command processing is deadlocked - suspending/resuming waits for the issued request to complete while the request can't be processed till device is put back into running state by resuming. This can be fixed by always putting !fs requests at the front when requeueing.

* When stacked block devices are in-use (e.g. md or dm), the recursive callsNeil Brown2007-05-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to generic_make_request can use up a lot of space, and we would rather they didn't. As generic_make_request is a void function, and as it is generally not expected that it will have any effect immediately, it is safe to delay any call to generic_make_request until there is sufficient stack space available. As ->bi_next is reserved for the driver to use, it can have no valid value when generic_make_request is called, and as __make_request implicitly assumes it will be NULL (ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE fork of switch) we can be certain that all callers set it to NULL. We can therefore safely use bi_next to link pending requests together, providing we clear it before making the real call. So, we choose to allow each thread to only be active in one generic_make_request at a time. If a subsequent (recursive) call is made, the bio is linked into a per-thread list, and is handled when the active call completes. As the list of pending bios is per-thread, there are no locking issues to worry about. I say above that it is "safe to delay any call...". There are, however, some behaviours of a make_request_fn which would make it unsafe. These include any behaviour that assumes anything will have changed after a recursive call to generic_make_request. These could include: - waiting for that call to finish and call it's bi_end_io function. md use to sometimes do this (marking the superblock dirty before completing a write) but doesn't any more - inspecting the bio for fields that generic_make_request might change, such as bi_sector or bi_bdev. It is hard to see a good reason for this, and I don't think anyone actually does it. - inspecing the queue to see if, e.g. it is 'full' yet. Again, I think this is very unlikely to be useful, or to be done. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: <dm-devel@redhat.com> Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> said: I can see nothing wrong with this in principle. For device-mapper at the moment though it's essential that, while the bio mappings may now get delayed, they still get processed in exactly the same order as they were passed to generic_make_request(). My main concern is whether the timing changes implicit in this patch will make the rare data-corrupting races in the existing snapshot code more likely. (I'm working on a fix for these races, but the unfinished patch is already several hundred lines long.) It would be helpful if some people on this mailing list would test this patch in various scenarios and report back.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress. This patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during suspend and resume transitions. It also changes all of the CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration (for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal" ones).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides a new macro KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>) to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct. Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary. Example struct test_slab { int a,b,c; struct list_head; } __cacheline_aligned_in_smp; test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC) will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab. If it fails then we panic. Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <clameter@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| * [SCSI] sg: cap reserved_size values at max_sectorsAlan Stern2007-04-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as857) modifies the SG_GET_RESERVED_SIZE and SG_SET_RESERVED_SIZE ioctls in the sg driver, capping the values at the device's request_queue's max_sectors value. This will permit cdrecord to obtain a legal value for the maximum transfer length, fixing Bugzilla #7026. The patch also caps the initial reserved_size value. There's no reason to have a reserved buffer larger than max_sectors, since it would be impossible to use the extra space. The corresponding ioctls in the block layer are modified similarly, and the initial value for the reserved_size is set as large as possible. This will effectively make it default to max_sectors. Note that the actual value is meaningless anyway, since block devices don't have a reserved buffer. Finally, the BLKSECTGET ioctl is added to sg, so that there will be a uniform way for users to determine the actual max_sectors value for any raw SCSI transport.
