* pktcdvd: reduce stack consumptionPeter Osterlund2008-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | On my system, pkt_open() consumes 584 bytes because the compiler decides to inline lots of functions that would not normally be part of long call chains. The following patch fixes that problem on my system.

* cciss: remove READ_AHEAD define and use block layer defaultsMike Miller2008-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the #define READ_AHEAD 1024 from the driver and uses the block layer defaults, instead. We have found that under certain workloads the setting can cause a disk connected to the e200 controller to go offline. If the disk hiccups the link may try to downshift but the controller is never notified that the link successfully completed the renegotiation. We've also found that performance using the block layer default of 32 pages was on par with the 1024 setting. We tried setting it to zero at one time based on info from our firmware guys but that killed performance. Turns out we were talking about 2 different read ahead settings.

* NBD: make nbd default to deadline I/O schedulerPaul Clements2008-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | NBD doesn't work well with CFQ (or AS) schedulers, so let's default to something else. The two problems I have experienced with nbd and cfq are: 1) nbd hangs with cfq on RHEL 5 (2.6.18) -- this may well have been fixed There's a similar debian bug that has been filed as well: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447638 There have been posts to nbd-general mailing list about problems with cfq and nbd also. 2) nbd performs about 10% better (the last time I tested) with deadline vs. cfq (the overhead of cfq doesn't provide much advantage to nbd [not being a real disk], and you end up going through the I/O scheduler on the nbd server anyway, so it makes sense that deadline is better with nbd) Signed-off-by: Paul Clements <paul.clements@steeleye.com> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The below implements the getgeo hook for Xen block devices. Extracted from the xen-unstable tree where it has been used for ages.

* | aoe: add module parameter for users who need more outstanding I/OEd L. Cashin2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An AoE target provides an estimate of the number of outstanding commands that the AoE initiator can send before getting a response. The aoe_maxout parameter provides a way to set an even lower limit. It will not allow a user to use more outstanding commands than the target permits. If a user discovers a problem with a large setting, this parameter provides a way for us to work with them to debug the problem. We expect to improve the dynamic window sizing algorithm and drop this parameter. For the time being, it is a debugging aid. Signed-off-by: Ed L.

* | aoe: only install new AoE device onceEd L. Cashin2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | An aoe driver user who had about 70 AoE targets found that he was hitting a BUG in sysfs_create_file because the aoe driver was trying to tell the kernel about an AoE device more than once. Each AoE device was reachable by several local network interfaces, and multiple ATA device indentify responses were returning from that single device. This patch eliminates a race condition so that aoe always informs the block layer of a new AoE device once in the presence of multiple incoming ATA device identify responses. Signed-off-by: Ed L.

* | aoe: dynamically allocate a capped number of skbs when necessaryEd L. Cashin2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | What this Patch Does Even before this recent series of 12 patches to 2.6.22-rc4, the aoe driver was reusing a small set of skbs that were allocated once and were only used for outbound AoE commands. The network layer cannot be allowed to put_page on the data that is still associated with a bio we haven't returned to the block layer, so the aoe driver (even before the patch under discussion) is still the owner of skbs that have been handed to the network layer for transmission. We need to keep track of these skbs so that we can free them, but by tracking them, we can also easily re-use them. The new patch was a response to the behavior of certain network drivers. We cannot reuse an skb that the network driver still has in its transmit ring. Network drivers can defer transmit ring cleanup and then use the state in the skb to determine how many data segments to clean up in its transmit ring. The tg3 driver is one driver that behaves in this way. When the network driver defers cleanup of its transmit ring, the aoe driver can find itself in a situation where it would like to send an AoE command, and the AoE target is ready for more work, but the network driver still has all of the pre-allocated skbs. In that case, the new patch just calls alloc_skb, as you'd expect. We don't want to get carried away, though. We try not to do excessive allocation in the write path, so we cap the number of skbs we dynamically allocate. Probably calling it a "dynamic pool" is misleading. We were already trying to use a small fixed-size set of pre-allocated skbs before this patch, and this patch just provides a little headroom (with a ceiling, though) to accomodate network drivers that hang onto skbs, by allocating when needed. The d->skbpool_hd list of allocated skbs is necessary so that we can free them later. We didn't notice the need for this headroom until AoE targets got fast enough. Alternatives If the network layer never did a put_page on the pages in the bio's we get from the block layer, then it would be possible for us to hand skbs to the network layer and forget about them, allowing the network layer to free skbs itself (and thereby calling our own skb->destructor callback function if we needed that). In that case we could get rid of the pre-allocated skbs and also the d->skbpool_hd, instead just calling alloc_skb every time we wanted to transmit a packet. The slab allocator would effectively maintain the list of skbs. Besides a loss of CPU cache locality, the main concern with that approach the danger that it would increase the likelihood of deadlock when VM is trying to free pages by writing dirty data from the page cache through the aoe driver out to persistent storage on an AoE device. Right now we have a situation where we have pre-allocation that corresponds to how much we use, which seems ideal. Of course, there's still the separate issue of receiving the packets that tell us that a write has successfully completed on the AoE target. When memory is low and VM is using AoE to flush dirty data to free up pages, it would be perfect if there were a way for us to register a fast callback that could recognize write command completion responses. But I don't think the current problems with the receive side of the situation are a justification for exacerbating the problem on the transmit side. Signed-off-by: Ed L.

* | aoe: user can ask driver to forget previously detected devicesEd L. Cashin2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When an AoE device is detected, the kernel is informed, and a new block device is created. If the device is unused, the block device corresponding to remote device that is no longer available may be removed from the system by telling the aoe driver to "flush" its list of devices. Without this patch, software like GPFS and LVM may attempt to read from AoE devices that were discovered earlier but are no longer present, blocking until the I/O attempt times out.

* | aoe: handle multiple network paths to AoE deviceEd L. Cashin2008-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A remote AoE device is something can process ATA commands and is identified by an AoE shelf number and an AoE slot number. Such a device might have more than one network interface, and it might be reachable by more than one local network interface. This patch tracks the available network paths available to each AoE device, allowing them to be used more efficiently. Andrew Morton asked about the call to msleep_interruptible in the revalidate function. Yes, if a signal is pending, then msleep_interruptible will not return 0. That means we will not loop but will call aoenet_xmit with a NULL skb, which is a noop. If the system is too low on memory or the aoe driver is too low on frames, then the user can hit control-C to interrupt the attempt to do a revalidate. I have added a comment to the code summarizing that. Andrew Morton asked whether the allocation performed inside addtgt could use a more relaxed allocation like GFP_KERNEL, but addtgt is called when the aoedev lock has been locked with spin_lock_irqsave. It would be nice to allocate the memory under fewer restrictions, but targets are only added when the device is being discovered, and if the target can't be added right now, we can try again in a minute when then next AoE config query broadcast goes out. Andrew Morton pointed out that the "too many targets" message could be printed for failing GFP_ATOMIC allocations. The last patch in this series makes the messages more specific. Signed-off-by: Ed L.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a rewrite of the ramdisk block device driver. The old one is really difficult because it effectively implements a block device which serves data out of its own buffer cache. It relies on the dirty bit being set, to pin its backing store in cache, however there are non trivial paths which can clear the dirty bit (eg. try_to_free_buffers()), which had recently lead to data corruption. And in general it is completely wrong for a block device driver to do this. The new one is more like a regular block device driver. It has no idea about vm/vfs stuff. It's backing store is similar to the buffer cache (a simple radix-tree of pages), but it doesn't know anything about page cache (the pages in the radix tree are not pagecache pages). There is one slight downside -- direct block device access and filesystem metadata access goes through an extra copy and gets stored in RAM twice. However, this downside is only slight, because the real buffercache of the device is now reclaimable (because we're not playing crazy games with it), so under memory intensive situations, footprint should effectively be the same -- maybe even a slight advantage to the new driver because it can also reclaim buffer heads. The fact that it now goes through all the regular vm/fs paths makes it much more useful for testing, too. text data bss dec hex filename 2837 849 384 4070 fe6 drivers/block/rd.o 3528 371 12 3911 f47 drivers/block/brd.o Text is larger, but data and bss are smaller, making total size smaller. A few other nice things about it: - Similar structure and layout to the new loop device handlinag. - Dynamic ramdisk creation. - Runtime flexible buffer head size (because it is no longer part of the ramdisk code). - Boot / load time flexible ramdisk size, which could easily be extended to a per-ramdisk runtime changeable size (eg. with an ioctl). - Can use highmem for the backing store.

I will fix that with an additional patch. This patch goes on top of the minor number patch. Please let me know if you want a merged patch: Currently virtio_blk creates the disk name combinging "vd" with 'a'++. This will give strange names after vdz. I have implemented names up to vdzzz - inspired by the sd.c code. That should be sufficient for now. There is one driver in the kernel (driver/s390/block/dasd_genhd.c) that implements names from dasda-dasdzzzz allowing even more disks. Maybe a janitor can come up with a common implementation usable for all kind of block device drivers. I have tested this patch with 100 disks - seems to work.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rusty, currently virtio_blk uses one major number per device. While this works quite well on most systems it is wasteful and will exhaust major numbers on larger installations. This patch allocates a major number on init and will use 16 minor numbers for each disk. That will allow ~64k virtio_blk disks.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rusty, I currently try to make my guest boot from an virtio root device without having an external kernel. Some of the tools that I tried expect HDIO_GETGEO to work. The most interesting value is likely the geo.start value to get the offset of a partition. This value is filled by block/ioctl.c if fops->getgeo is set. This patch also fills in some standard values for heads, sectors and cylinders. Makes sense?

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A reset function solves three problems: 1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a guest driver without rebooting the guest. 2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset, we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and 3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers. So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove feature bits is via reset. We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues: the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its remove function.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so. Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback now returns void, rather than a boolean. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended at the end. The main driver-visible changes: 1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit. 2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

| * cdrom: Add support for Sega Dreamcast GD-ROM.Adrian McMenamin2008-01-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for the GD-Rom drive, SEGA's proprietary implementation of an IDE CD Rom for the SEGA Dreamcast. This driver implements Sega's Packet Interface (SPI) - at least partially. It will also read disks in SEGA's propreitary GD format. Unlike previous drivers (which were never in mainline) this uses DMA and not PIO to read disks. It is a new driver, not a refactoring of old drivers.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts xsysace to use blk_end_request interfaces. Related 'uptodate' arguments are converted to 'error'. xsysace is a little bit different from "normal" drivers. xsysace driver has a state machine in it. It calls end_that_request_first() and end_that_request_last() from different states. (ACE_FSM_STATE_REQ_TRANSFER and ACE_FSM_STATE_REQ_COMPLETE, respectively.) However, those states are consecutive and without any interruption inbetween. So we can just follow the standard conversion rule (b) mentioned in the patch subject "[PATCH 01/30] blk_end_request: add new request completion interface".
