* [BLOCK] Move all core block layer code to new block/ directoryJens Axboe2005-11-04
| | | | | | | | drivers/block/ is right now a mix of core and driver parts. Lets move the core parts to a new top level directory. Al will move the fs/ related block parts to block/ next. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] blk: fix dangling pointer access in __elv_add_requestTejun Heo2005-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cfq's add_req_fn callback may invoke q->request_fn directly and depending on low-level driver used and timing, a queued request may be finished & deallocated before add_req_fn callback returns. So, __elv_add_request must not access rq after it's passed to add_req_fn callback. This patch moves rq_mergeable test above add_req_fn(). This may result in q->last_merge pointing to REQ_NOMERGE request if add_req_fn callback sets it but as RQ_NOMERGE is checked again when blk layer actually tries to merge requests, this does not cause any problem.

* [PATCH] block cleanups: Fix iosched module refcount leakNate Diller2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the requested I/O scheduler is already in place, elevator_switch simply leaves the queue alone, and returns. However, it forgets to call elevator_put, so 'echo [current_sched] > /sys/block/[dev]/queue/scheduler' will leak a reference, causing the current_sched module to be permanently pinned in memory.

* [PATCH] block cleanups: Add kconfig default iosched submenuNate Diller2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add a kconfig submenu to select the default I/O scheduler, in case anticipatory is not compiled in or another default is preferred. Also, since no-op is always available, we should use it whenever the selected default is not.

* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: move tasklist walk to elevator.cChristoph Hellwig2005-10-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We're trying to get rid of as much as possible tasklist walks, or at least moving them to core code. This patch falls into the second category. Instead of walking the tasklist in cfq-iosched move that into elv_unregister. The added benefit is that with this change the as ioscheduler might be might unloadable more easily aswell. The new code uses read_lock instead of read_lock_irq because the tasklist_lock only needs irq disabling for writers.

| * [BLOCK] Reimplement elevator switchTejun Heo2005-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reimplements elevator switch. This patch assumes generic dispatch queue patchset is applied. * Each request is tagged with REQ_ELVPRIV flag if it has its elevator private data set. * Requests which doesn't have REQ_ELVPRIV flag set never enter iosched. They are always directly back inserted to dispatch queue. Of course, elevator_put_req_fn is called only for requests which have its REQ_ELVPRIV set. * Request queue maintains the current number of requests which have its elevator data set (elevator_set_req_fn called) in q->rq->elvpriv. * If a request queue has QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set, elevator private data is not allocated for new requests. To switch to another iosched, we set QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS and wait until elvpriv goes to zero; then, we attach the new iosched and clears QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS. New implementation is much simpler and main code paths are less cluttered, IMHO. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes try_module_get race in elevator_find. try_module_get should always be called with the spinlock protecting what the module init/cleanup routines register/unregister to held. In the case of elevators, we should be holding elv_list to avoid it going away between spin_unlock_irq and try_module_get.

* [PATCH] Update cfq io scheduler to time sliced designJens Axboe2005-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq v3). It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes. It supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls. The latter closely mimic set/getpriority. This import is based on my latest from -mm. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
