* Revert "pktcdvd: push BKL down into driver"Linus Torvalds2008-08-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 5b6155ee70e9c4d2ad7e6f514c8eee06e2711c3a, because the block device ioctl's really aren't ready for it. In particular, the "struct file *" and the "struct inode *" arguments do not necessarily match, which means that the unlocked version of the ioctl (that only gets a "struct file *") isn't actually able to handle the cases it needs to handle.

* cciss: remove redundant codeMike Miller2008-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes redundant code where ever logical volumes are added or removed. It adds 3 new functions that are called instead of having the same code spread throughout the driver. It also removes the cciss_getgeometry function. The patch is fairly complex but we haven't figured out how to make it any simpler and still do everything that needs to be done. Some of the complexity comes from having to special case booting from cciss. Otherwise the gendisk doesn't get added in time and the switchroot will fail. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.

* cciss: make rebuild_lun_table behave betterMike Miller2008-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes the rebuild_lun_table smart enough to not rip a logical volume out from under the OS. Without this fix if a customer is running hpacucli to monitor their storage the driver will blindly remove and re-add the disks whenever the utility calls the CCISS_REGNEWD ioctl. Unfortunately, both hpacucli and ACUXE call the ioctl repeatedly. Customers have reported IO coming to a standstill. Calling the ioctl is the problem, this patch is the fix. Signed-off-by: Stephen M.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume path by preventing the allocations from doing IO and allowing them to access the emergency pools. These paths are used when a frontend device is trying to connect to its backend driver over Xenbus. These reconnections are triggered on demand by IO, so by definition there is already IO underway, and further IO would naturally deadlock. On resume, this path is triggered when the running system tries to continue using its devices. If it cannot then the resume will fail; to try to avoid this we let it dip into the emergency pools.

Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable exceptions are the E200 and E200i. The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR). In this mode they only support 64 outstanding commands. In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support 1024. We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value for each controller. We needed a better way to set the queue depth to avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages. So we made the driver a little smarter. We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the returned value. The -4 is to allow some room for ioctl calls which are not tracked the same way as io commands are tracked. Please consider this for inclusion.

Add GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO, which was present in rd.c. All kernels prior to 2.6.25 weren't displaying ramdisks in /proc/partitions. Since there are many userspace tools using information from /proc/partitions some of them may now behave incorrectly (I didn't tested any though). For example before 2.6.25 /proc/partitions was empty if no block devices like hard disks and such were detected by kernel. Now all 16 ramdisks are always visible there. Some software may rely on such information (I mean, on empty /proc/partitions). There was quite similar situation back in 2004, and ramdisks were excluded back from displaying. Thats why I called this a regression (maybe a bit unfortunate). See this patch for info: http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.3-rc2/2.6.3-rc2-mm1/broken-out/nbd-proc-partitions-fix.patch I also think that someone somewhere (long time ago) excluded ramdisks from /proc/partitions for good reasons. It is possible that now such new "feature" is harmless, but I think there are more chances that someone will say "hey, /proc/partitions has changed, now my software doesn't work" then "hey where did my new 2.6.25 feature go". nbd devices are also excluded, maybe for very same (unknown to me) reasons.

* block: avoid duplicate calls to get_part() in disk stat codeJens Axboe2008-05-07
| | | | | | | | | get_part() is fairly expensive, as it O(N) loops over partitions to find the right one. In lots of normal IO paths we end up looking up the partition twice, to make matters even worse. Change the stat add code to accept a passed in partition instead.
