block: Deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use queue_limits instead

2011-02-06T19:03:52+00:00

commit e692cb668fdd5a712c6ed2a2d6f2a36ee83997b4 upstream. When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a metadevice. There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver. The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing. We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking. Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD. Reported-by: Ed Lin Signed-off-by: Martin K.

block: Ensure physical block size is unsigned int

2010-12-14T22:39:59+00:00

commit 892b6f90db81cccb723d5d92f4fddc2d68b206e1 upstream. Physical block size was declared unsigned int to accomodate the maximum size reported by READ CAPACITY(16). Make sure we use the right type in the related functions. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

block: disable preemption before using sched_clock()

2010-06-01T10:23:18+00:00

Commit 9195291e5f05e01d67f9a09c756b8aca8f009089 added calls to sched_clock() from preemptible code. sched_clock() is both the wrong interface AND cannot be called without preempt disabled. Apply a temporary fix to get rid of the warnings, a real patch is in the works. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block,ide: simplify bdops->set_capacity() to ->unlock_native_capacity()

2010-05-21T18:01:02+00:00

bdops->set_capacity() is unnecessarily generic. All that's required is a simple one way notification to lower level driver telling it to try to unlock native capacity. There's no reason to pass in target capacity or return the new capacity. The former is always the inherent native capacity and the latter can be handled via the usual device resize / revalidation path. In fact, the current API is always used that way. Replace ->set_capacity() with ->unlock_native_capacity() which take only @disk and doesn't return anything. IDE which is the only current user of the API is converted accordingly.

swap: Add swap slot free callback to block_device_operations

2010-05-18T22:07:52+00:00

This callback is required when RAM based devices are used as swap disks. One such device is ramzswap which is used as compressed in-memory swap disk. For such devices, we need a callback as soon as a swap slot is no longer used to allow freeing memory allocated for this slot. Without this callback, stale data can quickly accumulate in memory defeating the whole purpose of such devices.

block: allow initialization of previously allocated request_queue

2010-05-11T06:57:42+00:00

blk_init_queue() allocates the request_queue structure and then initializes it as needed (request_fn, elevator, etc). Split initialization out to blk_init_allocated_queue_node. Introduce blk_init_allocated_queue wrapper function to model existing blk_init_queue and blk_init_queue_node interfaces. Export elv_register_queue to allow a newly added elevator to be registered with sysfs. Export elv_unregister_queue for symmetry. These changes allow DM to initialize a device's request_queue with more precision. In particular, DM no longer unconditionally initializes a full request_queue (elevator et al). It only does so for a request-based DM device. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blkio: Fix blkio crash during rq stat update

2010-04-21T15:44:16+00:00

blkio + cfq was crashing even when two sequential readers were put in two separate cgroups (group_isolation=0). The reason being that cfqq can migrate across groups based on its being sync-noidle or not, it can happen that at request insertion time, cfqq belonged to one cfqg and at request dispatch time, it belonged to root group. In this case request stats per cgroup can go wrong and it also runs into BUG_ON(). This patch implements rq stashing away a cfq group pointer and not relying on cfqq->cfqg pointer alone for rq stat accounting.
