* [PATCH] reiserfs: on-demand bitmap loadingJeff Mahoney2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the patch the three previous ones have been leading up to. It changes the behavior of ReiserFS from loading and caching all the bitmaps as special, to treating the bitmaps like any other bit of metadata and just letting the system-wide caches figure out what to hang on to. Buffer heads are allocated on the fly, so there is no need to retain pointers to all of them. The caching of the metadata occurs when the data is read and updated, and is considered invalid and uncached until then. I needed to remove the vs-4040 check for performing a duplicate operation on a particular bit. The reason is that while the other sites for working with bitmaps are allowed to schedule, is_reusable() is called from do_balance(), which will panic if a schedule occurs in certain places. The benefit of on-demand bitmaps clearly outweighs a sanity check that depends on a compile-time option that is discouraged.

* [PATCH] reiserfs: reorganize bitmap loading functionsJeff Mahoney2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the bitmap loading code from super.c to bitmap.c The code is also restructured somewhat. The only difference between new format bitmaps and old format bitmaps is where they are. That's a two liner before loading the block to use the correct one. There's no need for an entirely separate code path. The load path is generally the same, with the pattern being to throw out a bunch of requests and then wait for them, then cache the metadata from the contents. Again, like the previous patches, the purpose is to set up for later ones. Update: There was a bug in the previously posted version of this that resulted in corruption. The problem was that bitmap 0 on new format file systems must be treated specially, and wasn't. A stupid bug with an easy fix. This is hopefully the last fix for the disaster that is the reiserfs bitmap patch set. If a bitmap block was full, first_zero_hint would end up at zero since it would never be changed from it's zeroed out value. This just sets it beyond the end of the bitmap block. If any bits are freed, it will be reset to a valid bit. When info->free_count = 0, then we already know it's full.

* [PATCH] reiserfs: fix is_reusable bitmap check to not traverse the bitmap ↵Jeff Mahoney2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | info array There is a check in is_reusable to determine if a particular block is a bitmap block. It verifies this by going through the array of bitmap block buffer heads and comparing the block number to each one. Bitmap blocks are at defined locations on the disk in both old and current formats. Simply checking against the known good values is enough. This is a trivial optimization for a non-production codepath, but this is the first in a series of patches that will ultimately remove the buffer heads from that array.

* [PATCH] ntp: convert to the NTP4 reference modelRoman Zippel2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This converts the kernel ntp model into a model which matches the nanokernel reference implementations. The previous patches already increased the resolution and precision of the computations, so that this conversion becomes quite simple. <linux@horizon.com> explains: The original NTP kernel interface was defined in units of microseconds. That's what Linux implements. As computers have gotten faster and can now split microseconds easily, a new kernel interface using nanosecond units was defined ("the nanokernel", confusing as that name is to OS hackers), and there's an STA_NANO bit in the adjtimex() status field to tell the application which units it's using. The current ntpd supports both, but Linux loses some possible timing resolution because of quantization effects, and the ntpd hackers would really like to be able to drop the backwards compatibility code. Ulrich Windl has been maintaining a patch set to do the conversion for years, but it's hard to keep in sync.

* [PATCH] kmemdup: introduceAlexey Dobriyan2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of idiomatic ways to duplicate a region of memory is dst = kmalloc(len, GFP_KERNEL); if (!dst) return -ENOMEM; memcpy(dst, src, len); which is neat code except a programmer needs to write size twice. Which sometimes leads to mistakes. If len passed to kmalloc is smaller that len passed to memcpy, it's straight overwrite-beyond-end. If len passed to memcpy is smaller than len passed to kmalloc, it's either a) legit behaviour ;-), or b) cloned buffer will contain garbage in second half. Slight trolling of commit lists shows several duplications bugs done exactly because of diverged lenghts: Linux: [CRYPTO]: Fix memcpy/memset args. [PATCH] memcpy/memset fixes OpenBSD: kerberosV/src/lib/asn1: der_copy.c:1.4 If programmer is given only one place to play with lengths, I believe, such mistakes could be avoided. With kmemdup, the snippet above will be rewritten as: dst = kmemdup(src, len, GFP_KERNEL); if (!dst) return -ENOMEM; This also leads to smaller code (kzalloc effect). Quick grep shows 200+ places where kmemdup() can be used.

* [PATCH] maximum latency tracking infrastructureArjan van de Ven2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add infrastructure to track "maximum allowable latency" for power saving policies. The reason for adding this infrastructure is that power management in the idle loop needs to make a tradeoff between latency and power savings (deeper power save modes have a longer latency to running code again). The code that today makes this tradeoff just does a rather simple algorithm; however this is not good enough: There are devices and use cases where a lower latency is required than that the higher power saving states provide. An example would be audio playback, but another example is the ipw2100 wireless driver that right now has a very direct and ugly acpi hook to disable some higher power states randomly when it gets certain types of error. The proposed solution is to have an interface where drivers can * announce the maximum latency (in microseconds) that they can deal with * modify this latency * give up their constraint and a function where the code that decides on power saving strategy can query the current global desired maximum. This patch has a user of each side: on the consumer side, ACPI is patched to use this, on the producer side the ipw2100 driver is patched. A generic maximum latency is also registered of 2 timer ticks (more and you lose accurate time tracking after all). While the existing users of the patch are x86 specific, the infrastructure is not. I'd like to ask the arch maintainers of other architectures if the infrastructure is generic enough for their use (assuming the architecture has such a tradeoff as concept at all), and the sound/multimedia driver owners to look at the driver facing API to see if this is something they can use.

We have a flag for PCI/PCI failures but we need a different flag for this really as in this case we don't want to stop PCI/PCI transfers using things like IOAT and the new RAID offload work.

* [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]David Howells2006-09-30

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] Make sure all block/io scheduler setups are node awareJens Axboe2006-09-30
| | | | | | | Some were kmalloc_node(), some were still kmalloc(). Change them all to kmalloc_node(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

* [PATCH] elevator: define ioc counting mechanismJens Axboe2006-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | None of the in-kernel primitives for handling "atomic" counting seem to be a good fit. We need something that is essentially free for incrementing/decrementing, while the read side may be more expensive as we only ever need to do that when a device is removed from the kernel. Use a per-cpu variable for maintaining a per-cpu ioc count and define a reading mechanism that just sums up the values. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: kill cfq_exit_lockJens Axboe2006-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cfq_exit_lock is protecting two things now: - The per-ioc rbtree of cfq_io_contexts - The per-cfqd linked list of cfq_io_contexts The per-cfqd linked list can be protected by the queue lock, as it is (by definition) per cfqd as the queue lock is. The per-ioc rbtree is mainly used and updated by the process itself only. The only outside use is the io priority changing. If we move the priority changing to not browsing the rbtree, we can remove any locking from the rbtree updates and lookup completely. Let the sys_ioprio syscall just mark processes as having the iopriority changed and lazily update the private cfq io contexts the next time io is queued, and we can remove this locking as well.

* [PATCH] struct request: shrink and optimize some moreJens Axboe2006-09-30
| | | | | | | Move some members around and unionize completion_data and rb_node since they cannot ever be used at the same time. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] Drop useless bio passing in may_queue/set_request APIJens Axboe2006-09-30
| | | | | | It's not needed for anything, so kill the bio passing. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] Remove ->rq_status from struct requestJens Axboe2006-09-30
| | | | | | | | | | | After Christophs SCSI change, the only usage left is RQ_ACTIVE and RQ_INACTIVE. The block layer sets RQ_INACTIVE right before freeing the request, so any check for RQ_INACTIVE in a driver is a bug and indicates use-after-free. So kill/clean the remaining users, straight forward.

* [PATCH] Remove struct request_list from struct requestJens Axboe2006-09-30
| | | | | | | | It is always identical to &q->rq, and we only use it for detecting whether this request came out of our mempool or not. So replace it with an additional ->flags bit flag. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] Remove ->waiting member from struct requestJens Axboe2006-09-30
| | | | | | | | As the comments indicates in blkdev.h, we can fold it into ->end_io_data usage as that is really what ->waiting is. Fixup the users of blk_end_sync_rq(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
* [PATCH] Add one more pointer to struct request for IO scheduler usageJens Axboe2006-09-30
| | | | | | | Then we have enough room in the request to get rid of the dynamic allocations in CFQ/AS. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
