| * [BLOCK] increase size of disk stat countersBen Woodard2006-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel's representation of the disk statistics uses the type unsigned which is 32b on both 32b and 64b platforms. Unfortunately, most system tools that work with these numbers that are exported in /proc/diskstats including iostat read these numbers into unsigned longs. This works fine on 32b platforms and when the number of IO transactions are small on 64b platforms. However, when the numbers wrap on 64b platforms & you read the numbers into unsigned longs, and compare the numbers to previous readings, then you get an unsigned representation of a negative number. This looks like a very large 64b number & gives you bizarre readouts in iostat: ilc4: Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rsec/s wsec/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await svctm %util ilc4: sda 5.50 0.00 143.96 0.00 307496983987862656.00 0.00 153748491993931328.00 0.00 2136028725038430.00 7.94 55.12 5.59 80.42 Though fixing iostat in user space is possible, and a quick survey indicates that several other similar tools also use unsigned longs when processing /proc/diskstats. Therefore, it seems like a better approach would be to extend the length of the disk_stats structure on 64b architectures to 64b. The following patch does that. It should not affect the operation on 32b platforms.

* [PATCH] 2TB files: add blkcnt_tTakashi Sato2006-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add blkcnt_t as the type of inode.i_blocks. This enables you to make the size of blkcnt_t either 4 bytes or 8 bytes on 32 bits architecture with CONFIG_LSF. - CONFIG_LSF Add new configuration parameter. - blkcnt_t On h8300, i386, mips, powerpc, s390 and sh that define sector_t, blkcnt_t is defined as u64 if CONFIG_LSF is enabled; otherwise it is defined as unsigned long. On other architectures, it is defined as unsigned long. - inode.i_blocks Change the type from sector_t to blkcnt_t.

* | [PATCH] block: implement elv_insert and use it (fix ordcolor flipping bug)Tejun Heo2006-02-08
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | q->ordcolor must only be flipped on initial queueing of a hardbarrier request. Constructing ordered sequence and requeueing used to pass through __elv_add_request() which flips q->ordcolor when it sees a barrier request. This patch separates out elv_insert() from __elv_add_request() and uses elv_insert() when constructing ordered sequence and requeueing. elv_insert() inserts the given request at the specified position and does nothing else.

* [PATCH] percpu data: only iterate over possible CPUsEric Dumazet2006-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus. As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS loops to use for_each_cpu(). (The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h. powerpc has gone it alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's currently corrupting memory).

* [BLOCK] elevator: allow default scheduler to potentially be modularNate Diller2006-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jens has decided that allowing the default scheduler to be a module is a bug, and should not be allowed under kconfig. However, I find that scenario useful for debugging, and wish for the kernel to be able to handle this situation without OOPSing, if I enable such an option in the .config directly. This patch dynamically checks for the presence of the compiled-in default, and falls back to no-op, emitting a suitable error message, when the default is not available Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2.

* [BLOCK] elevator: default choice selectionNate Diller2006-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My previous default iosched patch did a poor job dealing with the 'elevator=' boot-time option. The old behavior falls back to the compiled-in default if the requested one is not registered at boot time. This patch dynamically evaluates which default to use, and emits a suitable error message when the requested scheduler is not available. It also does the 'as' -> 'anticipatory' conversion before elevator registration, which along with a modified registration function, allows it to correctly indicate which default scheduler is in use.

* [PATCH] fix queue stalling while barrier sequencingTejun Heo2006-01-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If ordered tag isn't supported, request ordering for barrier sequencing is performed by queue draining, which basically hangs the request queue until elv_completed_request() reports completion of all previous fs requests. The condition check in elv_completed_request() was only performed for fs requests. If a special request is queued between the last to-be-drained request and the barrier sequence, draining is never completed and the queue is stalled forever. This patch moves the end-of-draining condition check such that it's performed for all requests.
