| * | xen: Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume pathIan Campbell2008-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* | | cciss: read config to obtain max outstanding commands per controllerMike Miller2008-07-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding commands for each controller. 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.

* | brd: don't show ramdisks in /proc/partitionsMarcin Krol2008-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In 2.6.25, ramdisk devices show up in /proc/partitions, which is a behaviour change from the old rd.c. 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.

* | virtio: explicit advertisement of driver featuresRusty Russell2008-05-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns. There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I didn't notice when it was violated. So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio core. The intersection of device and driver features are presented in a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device. Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a straight-forward little-endian array of bytes. Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they really have to. API changes: - dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature. - drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field - use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed some flaws in the API, in particular how easy it is to break big endian machines. The virtio config space was originally chosen to be little-endian, because we thought the config might be part of the PCI config space for virtio_pci. It's actually a separate mmio region, so that argument holds little water; as only x86 is currently using the virtio mechanism, we can change this (but must do so now, before the impending s390 merge).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As ps3disk is a ppc64-only driver, sector_t equals to unsigned long, and the cast is not needed. Reuse in another (possibly 32-bit) driver is protected by the safety net called `compiler warning' (with the cast, it may silently truncate to 32-bit). If sector_t ever changes, we will get a compiler warning as well (with the cast, we won't).

A new parameter is introduced to define how many partition we want to be able to manage per network block device. This parameter is "max_part". For instance, to manage 63 partitions / loop device, we will do: [on the server side] # nbd-server 1234 /dev/sdb [on the client side] # modprobe nbd max_part=63 # ls -l /dev/nbd* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 0 2008-03-25 11:14 /dev/nbd0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 64 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 640 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd10 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 704 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd11 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 768 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd12 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 832 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd13 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 896 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd14 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 960 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd15 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 128 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 192 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd3 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 256 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd4 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 320 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd5 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 384 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd6 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 448 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd7 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 512 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd8 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 576 2008-03-25 11:11 /dev/nbd9 # nbd-client localhost 1234 /dev/nbd0 Negotiation: ..size = 80418240KB bs=1024, sz=80418240 -------NOTE, RFC: partition table is not automatically read. The driver sets bdev->bd_invalidated to 1 to force the read of the partition table of the device, but this is done only on an open of the device. So we have to do a "touch /dev/nbdX" or something like that. It can't be done from the nbd-client or nbd driver because at this level we can't ask to read the partition table and to serve the request at the same time (-> deadlock) If someone has a better idea, I'm open to any suggestion. -------NOTE, RFC # fdisk -l /dev/nbd0 Disk /dev/nbd0: 82.3 GB, 82348277760 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 10011 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/nbd0p1 * 1 9965 80043831 83 Linux /dev/nbd0p2 9966 10011 369495 5 Extended /dev/nbd0p5 9966 10011 369463+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris # ls -l /dev/nbd0* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 0 2008-03-25 11:16 /dev/nbd0 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 1 2008-03-25 11:16 /dev/nbd0p1 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 2 2008-03-25 11:16 /dev/nbd0p2 brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 5 2008-03-25 11:16 /dev/nbd0p5 # mount /dev/nbd0p1 /mnt # ls /mnt bin dev initrd lost+found opt sbin sys var boot etc initrd.img media proc selinux tmp vmlinuz cdrom home lib mnt root srv usr # umount /mnt # nbd-client -d /dev/nbd0 # ls -l /dev/nbd0* brw-rw---- 1 root disk 43, 0 2008-03-25 11:16 /dev/nbd0 -------NOTE On "nbd-client -d", we can do an iocl(BLKRRPART) to update partition table: as the size of the device is 0, we don't have to serve the partition manager request (-> no deadlock). -------NOTE Signed-off-by: Paul Clements <paul.clements@steeleye.com> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
* | NBD: allow nbd to be used locallyLaurent Vivier2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch allows Network Block Device to be mounted locally (nbd-client to nbd-server over 127.0.0.1). It creates a kthread to avoid the deadlock described in NBD tools documentation. So, if nbd-client hangs waiting for pages, the kblockd thread can continue its work and free pages. I have tested the patch to verify that it avoids the hang that always occurs when writing to a localhost nbd connection. I have also tested to verify that no performance degradation results from the additional thread and queue. Patch originally from Laurent Vivier.
