* [PATCH] md: use ffz instead of find_first_set to convert multiplier to shiftPaul Clements2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | find_first_set doesn't find the least-significant bit on bigendian machines, so it is really wrong to use it. ffs is closer, but takes an 'int' and we have a 'unsigned long'. So use ffz(~X) to convert a chunksize into a chunkshift. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] md: remove MAX_MD_DEVS which is an arbitrary limitNeilBrown2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Once upon a time we needed to fixed limit to the number of md devices, probably because we preallocated some array. This need no longer exists, but we still have an arbitrary limit. So remove MAX_MD_DEVS and allow as many devices as we can fit into the 'minor' part of a device number. Also remove some useless noise at init time (which reports MAX_MD_DEVS) and remove MD_THREAD_NAME_MAX which hasn't been used for a while.

* [PATCH] md: make messages about resync/recovery etc more specificNeilBrown2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible to request a 'check' of an md/raid array where the whole array is read and consistancies are reported. This uses the same mechanisms as 'resync' and so reports in the kernel logs that a resync is being started. This understandably confuses/worries people. Also the text in /proc/mdstat suggests a 'resync' is happen when it is just a check. This patch changes those messages to be more specific about what is happening.

* [PATCH] md: define ->congested_fn for raid1, raid10, and multipathNeilBrown2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | raid1, raid10 and multipath don't report their 'congested' status through bdi_*_congested, but should. This patch adds the appropriate functions which just check the 'congested' status of all active members (with appropriate locking). raid1 read_balance should be modified to prefer devices where bdi_read_congested returns false. Then we could use the '&' branch rather than the '|' branch. However that should would need some benchmarking first to make sure it is actually a good idea.

* [PATCH] md: define backing_dev_info.congested_fn for raid0 and linearNeilBrown2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | Each backing_dev needs to be able to report whether it is congested, either by modulating BDI_*_congested in ->state, or by defining a ->congested_fn. md/raid did neither of these.

* [PATCH] md: Improve locking around error handlingNeilBrown2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The error handling routines don't use proper locking, and so two concurrent errors could trigger a problem. So: - use test-and-set and test-and-clear to synchonise the In_sync bits with the ->degraded count - use the spinlock to protect updates to the degraded count (could use an atomic_t but that would be a bigger change in code, and isn't really justified) - remove un-necessary locking in raid5 Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* [PATCH] md: new sysfs interface for setting bits in the write-intent-bitmapPaul Clements2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new sysfs interface that allows the bitmap of an array to be dirtied. The interface is write-only, and is used as follows: echo "1000" > /sys/block/md2/md/bitmap (dirty the bit for chunk 1000 [offset 0] in the in-memory and on-disk bitmaps of array md2) echo "1000-2000" > /sys/block/md1/md/bitmap (dirty the bits for chunks 1000-2000 in md1's bitmap) This is useful, for example, in cluster environments where you may need to combine two disjoint bitmaps into one (following a server failure, after a secondary server has taken over the array). By combining the bitmaps on the two servers, a full resync can be avoided (This was discussed on the list back on March 18, 2005, "[PATCH 1/2] md bitmap bug fixes" thread).

* [PATCH] dm: use private biosetsStefan Bader2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I found a problem within device-mapper that occurs in low-mem situations. It was found using a mirror target but I think in theory it would hit any setup that stacks device-mapper devices (like LVM on top of multipath). Since device-mapper core uses the common fs_bioset in clone_bio(), and a private, but still global, bio_set in split_bvec() it is possible that the filesystem and the first level target successfully get bios but the lower level target doesn't because there is no more memory and the pool was drained by upper layers. So the remapping will be stuck forever. To solve this device-mapper core needs to use a private bio_set for each device.

* [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]David Howells2006-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require the block layer to be present. This patch does the following: (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev support. (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls an item that uses the block layer. This includes: (*) Block I/O tracing. (*) Disk partition code. (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS. (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities - such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this. (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM drivers. (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL. (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book. (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is, however, still used in places, and so is still available. (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and parts of linux/fs.h. (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK is not enabled. (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set: (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening). (*) Makes some /proc changes: (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs. (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified. (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2. (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so). (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

* [PATCH] Split struct request ->flags into two partsJens Axboe2006-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | Right now ->flags is a bit of a mess: some are request types, and others are just modifiers. Clean this up by splitting it into ->cmd_type and ->cmd_flags. This allows introduction of generic Linux block message types, useful for sending generic Linux commands to block devices. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
