* block: add a blk_plug_device_unlocked() that grabs the queue lockJens Axboe2008-08-01
| | | | | | | | blk_plug_device() must be called with the queue lock held, so callers often just grab and release the lock for that purpose. Add a helper that does just that. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* Use WARN() in block/Arjan van de Ven2008-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | Use WARN() instead of a printk+WARN_ON() pair; this way the message becomes part of the warning section for better reporting/collection.

* sysfs: add /sys/dev/{char,block} to lookup sysfs path by major:minorDan Williams2008-07-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Why?: There are occasions where userspace would like to access sysfs attributes for a device but it may not know how sysfs has named the device or the path. For example what is the sysfs path for /dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK? With this change a call to stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that /sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc. What are the alternatives?: 1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this seems counter productive. 2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited environment like an initramfs. 3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some uses blk_put_request asymmetrically, that is, they uses it with requests that not allocated by blk_get_request. As a result, blk_put_request has a hack to catch a NULL request_queue. Now such callers are fixed (they use blk_get_request properly). So we can safely remove the hack in blk_put_request.

|/ / / / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If you do a modremove of any sas driver, you run into an oops on shutdown when the host is removed (coming from the host bsg device). The root cause seems to be that there's a use after free of the bsg_class_device: In bsg_kref_release_function, this is used (to do a put_device(bcg->parent) after bcg->release has been called. In sas (and possibly many other things) bcd->release frees the queue which contains the bsg_class_device, so we get a put_device on unreferenced memory. Fix this by taking a copy of the pointer to the parent before releasing bsg.

* | / / block: Fix the starving writes bug in the anticipatory IO schedulerDivyesh Shah2008-07-01

It does the batch switch only after all requests from the previous batch are completed. When switching to a write batch, if there is an on-going read request, it waits for its completion and indicates its intention of switching by setting ad->changed_batch and the new direction but does not update the batch_expire_time for the new write batch which it does in the case of no previous pending requests. On completion of the read request, it sees that we were waiting for the switch and schedules work for kblockd right away and resets the ad->changed_data flag. Now when kblockd enters dispatch_request where it is expected to pick up a write request, it in turn ends the write batch because the batch_expire_timer was not updated and shows the expire timestamp for the previous batch. This results in the write starvation for all the cases where there is the intention for switching to a write batch, but there is a previous in-flight read request and the batch gets reverted to a read_batch right away. This also holds true in the reverse case (switching from a write batch to a read batch with an in-flight write request). I've checked that this bug exists on 2.6.11, 2.6.18, 2.6.24 and linux-2.6-block git HEAD. I've tested the fix on x86 platforms with SCSI drives where the driver asks for the next request while a current request is in-flight. This patch is based off linux-2.6-block git HEAD. Bug reproduction: A simple scenario which reproduces this bug is: - dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/null & - lilo The lilo takes forever to complete. This can also be reproduced fairly easily with the earlier dd and another test program doing msync(). The example test program below should print out a message after every iteration but it simply hangs forever. With this bugfix it makes forward progress. ==== Example test program using msync() (thanks to suleiman AT google DOT com) inline uint64_t rdtsc(void) { int64_t tsc; __asm __volatile("rdtsc" : "=A" (tsc)); return (tsc); } int main(int argc, char **argv) { struct stat st; uint64_t e, s, t; char *p, q; long i; int fd; if (argc < 2) { printf("Usage: %s <file>\n", argv[0]); return (1); } if ((fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_NOATIME)) < 0) err(1, "open"); if (fstat(fd, &st) < 0) err(1, "fstat"); p = mmap(NULL, st.st_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); t = 0; for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { *p = 0; msync(p, 4096, MS_SYNC); s = rdtsc(); *p = 0; __asm __volatile(""::: "memory"); e = rdtsc(); if (argc > 2) printf("%d: %lld cycles %jd %jd\n", i, e - s, (intmax_t)s, (intmax_t)e); t += e - s; } printf("average time: %lld cycles\n", t / 1000); return (0); } Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

That isn't actually true. The block_class device list also contains the partitions we've discovered so far, and you can't just do a 'dev_to_disk()' on those. So make sure to only work on devices that block/genhd.c has registered itself, something we can test by checking the 'dev->type' member. This makes the loop in blk_lookup_devt() match the other such loops in this file. [ We may want to do an alternate version that knows to handle _either_ whole-disk devices or partitions, but for now this is the minimal fix for a series of crashes reported by Mariusz Kozlowski in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/25/25 and Ingo in http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/9/39 ] Reported-by: Mariusz Kozlowski <m.kozlowski@tuxland.pl> Reported-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Cc: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Cc: Joao Luis Meloni Assirati <assirati@nonada.if.usp.br> Acked-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* | block: make blktrace use per-cpu buffers for message notesJens Axboe2008-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently it uses a single static char array, but that risks being corrupted when multiple users issue message notes at the same time. Make the buffers dynamically allocated when the trace is setup and make them per-cpu instead. The default max message size of 1k is also very large, the interface is mainly for small text notes. So shrink it to 128 bytes. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
