Tejun Heo cb98fc8bb9 [BLOCK] Reimplement elevator switch
This patch reimplements elevator switch.  This patch assumes generic
dispatch queue patchset is applied.

 * Each request is tagged with REQ_ELVPRIV flag if it has its elevator
   private data set.
 * Requests which doesn't have REQ_ELVPRIV flag set never enter
   iosched.  They are always directly back inserted to dispatch queue.
   Of course, elevator_put_req_fn is called only for requests which
   have its REQ_ELVPRIV set.
 * Request queue maintains the current number of requests which have
   its elevator data set (elevator_set_req_fn called) in
   q->rq->elvpriv.
 * If a request queue has QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set, elevator private data
   is not allocated for new requests.

 To switch to another iosched, we set QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS and wait until
elvpriv goes to zero; then, we attach the new iosched and clears
QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS.  New implementation is much simpler and main code
paths are less cluttered, IMHO.

Jens Axboe b4878f245e [PATCH] 02/05: update ioscheds to use generic dispatch queue
This patch updates all four ioscheds to use generic dispatch
queue.  There's one behavior change in as-iosched.

* In as-iosched, when force dispatching
  (ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK), batch_data_dir is reset to REQ_SYNC
  and changed_batch and new_batch are cleared to zero.  This
  prevernts AS from doing incorrect update_write_batch after
  the forced dispatched requests are finished.

* In cfq-iosched, cfqd->rq_in_driver currently counts the
  number of activated (removed) requests to determine
  whether queue-kicking is needed and cfq_max_depth has been
  reached.  With generic dispatch queue, I think counting
  the number of dispatched requests would be more appropriate.

* cfq_max_depth can be lowered to 1 again.

Chen, Kenneth W 20e5c81fcf [patch] remove gendisk->stamp_idle field
struct gendisk has these two fields: stamp, stamp_idle.  Update to
stamp_idle is always in sync with stamp and they are always the same.
Therefore, it does not add any value in having two fields tracking
same timestamp.  Suggest to remove it.

Also, we should only update gendisk stats with non-zero value.
Advantage is that we don't have to needlessly calculate memory address,
and then add zero to the content.

Mike Miller bb2a37bf41 [PATCH] cciss: fix for DMA brokeness
The CCISS driver seems to loose track of DMA mappings created by it's
fill_cmd() routine.  Neither callers of this routine are extracting the DMA
address created in order to do the unmap.

Instead, they simply try to unmap 0x0.  It's easy to see this problem on an
x86_64 system when using the "swiotlb=force" boot option.  In this case, the
driver is leaking resources of the swiotlb and not causing a sync of the
bounce buffer.

that I only did the files that also had vfree calls in them.  The patch
also gets rid of some redundant (void *) casts of pointers being passed to
[vk]free, and a some tiny whitespace corrections also crept in.

Douglas Gilbert 942fc2fb73 [SCSI] permit READ DEFECT DATA in block/scsi_ioctl
The soon to be released smartmontools 5.34 uses the
READ DEFECT DATA command on SCSI disks. A disk that
has defect list entries (or worse, an increasing number
of them) is at risk.

Currently the first invocation of smartctl causes this:
   scsi: unknown opcode 0x37
message to appear the console and in the log.

The READ DEFECT DATA SCSI command does not change
the state of a disk. Its opcode (0x37) is valid for
SBC devices (e.g. disks) and SMC-2 devices (media
changers) where it is called INITIALIZE STATUS ELEMENT
WITH RANGE and again doesn't change the external state
of the device.

Changelog:
  - mark SCSI opcode 0x37 (READ DEFECT DATA) as
    safe_for_read

Alan Stern b375a0495f [PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernel
29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:

This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel.  Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system.  For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."

An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time.  As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches.  Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."

Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory.  "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to.  That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."

Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls.  His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

Back out Axboe-style quasi-S/G and replace it with one command and
repeated URBs. This is similar to what usb-storage does, only instead
of a few URBs allocated together, one URB is reused.

Jens's idea was very nice, but it collapsed when I had to support
packet commads for CD burning. I cannot issue two or more packet
commands where application expected only one.

However, burning does not work completely yet. The cdrecord starts,
recognizes the device, then aborts without writing a TOC.

This the quasi-S/G patch for ub as suggested by Jens Axboe at OLS and
implemented that night before 4 a.m. Surprisingly, it worked right away...
Alas, I had to skip some OLS partying, but it was for the good cause.
Now the speed of ub is quite acceptable even on partitions with small
block size.

The ub does not really support S/G. Instead, it just tells the block
layer that it does. Then, most of the time, the block layer merges
requests and passes single-segmnent requests down to ub; everything
works as before. Very rarely ub gets an unmerged S/G request. In such
case, it issues several commands to the device.

I added a small array of counters to monitor the merging (sg_stat).
This may be dropped later.

are *not* going to have floppy.c compile, let alone work).

Brian King 38f1852759 [PATCH] block: CFQ refcounting fix
I ran across a memory leak related to the cfq scheduler. The cfq
init function increments the refcnt of the associated request_queue.

This refcount gets decremented in cfq's exit function. Since blk_cleanup_queue
only calls the elevator exit function when its refcnt goes to zero, the
request_q never gets cleaned up. It didn't look like other io schedulers were
incrementing this refcnt, so I removed the refcnt increment and it fixed the
memory leak for me.

To reproduce the problem, simply use cfq and use the scsi_host scan sysfs
attribute to scan "- - -" repeatedly on a scsi host and watch the memory
vanish.

Tejun Heo ba02508248 [PATCH] blk: fix tag shrinking (revive real_max_size)
My patch in commit fa72b903f7 incorrectly
removed blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth.

The original resize implementation was incorrect in the following
points.

 * actual allocation size of tag_index was shorter than real_max_size,
   but assumed to be of the same size, possibly causing memory access
   beyond the allocated area.
 * bits in tag_map between max_deptn and real_max_depth were
   initialized to 1's, making the tags permanently reserved.

In an attempt to fix above two bugs, I had removed allocation optimization
in init_tag_map and real_max_size.  Tag map/index were allocated and freed
immediately during resize.

Unfortunately, I wasn't considering that tag map/index can be resized
dynamically with tags beyond new_depth active.  This led to accessing
freed area after shrinking tags and led to the following bug reporting
thread on linux-scsi.

   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112319898111885&w=2

To fix the problem, I've revived real_max_depth without allocation
optimization in init_tag_map, and Andrew Vasquez confirmed that the
problem was fixed.  As Jens is not going to be available for a week, he
asked me to make sure that this patch reaches you.

   http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112325778530886&w=2

Also, a comment was added to make sure that real_max_size is needed for
dynamic shrinking.

Also be rid of the GFP_ATOMIC allocation: we've got working mempools for the

Currently we cap request allocations at q->nr_requests, but we allow a
batching io context to allocate up to 32 more (default setting).  This
can flood the queue with request allocations, with only a few batching
processes.  The real fix would be to limit the number of batchers, but
as that isn't currently tracked, I suggest we just cap the maximum
number of allocated requests to eg 50% over the limit.

This was observed in real life, users typically see this as vmstat bo
numbers going off the wall with seconds of no queueing afterwards.
Behaviour this bursty is not beneficial.

Mike Miller 60564a313a [PATCH] cciss: remove partition info from CCISS_GETLUNINFO
This patch fulfills a promise I made to Christoph sometime back.  I am
removing the partition info from the CCISS_GETLUNINFO ioctl as I was informed
my "driver had no damn business reading that structure." ;)

The application folks are to use /proc or /sys for partition info from now on.
 I am only aware of a few apps that use this ioctl and I'm not sure they ever
used the partition info.

Mike Miller cd6fb584cf [PATCH] cciss: pci domain info pass 2
This is pass 2 of my patch to add pci domain info to an existing ioctl.  This
time I insert the domain between dev_fn and board_id as Willy suggested and
change the var to unsigned short to ease Christoph's concerns.  Although I
thought unsigned int was the correct var type for this.  I also thought it
didn't matter where I inserted it in the structure.

Jens Axboe 96c51ce94e [PATCH] CFQ io scheduler: scheduler switch oops
If cfq is managing a queue and a new scheduler is later selected, it is
possible for the cfqd unplug_work work to be queued after the kblockd
work struct has been flushed.  The problem is the ordering of
cfq_shutdown_timer_wq() and blk_put_queue() in cfq_put_cfqd().  The
latter may rearm the work, leaving cfq_kick_queue() with dead data.

Jens Axboe 3b18152c32 [PATCH] CFQ io scheduler updates
- Adjust slice values

- Instead of one async queue, one is defined per priority level. This
  prevents kernel threads (such as reiserfs/x and others) that run at
  higher io priority from conflicting with others. Previously, it was a
  coin toss what io prio the async queue got, it was defined by who
  first set up the queue.

- Let a time slice only begin, when the previous slice is completely
  done. Previously we could be somewhat unfair to a new sync slice, if
  the previous slice was async and had several ios queued. This might
  need a little tweaking if throughput suffers a little due to this,
  allowing perhaps an overlap of a single request or so.

- Optimize the calling of kblockd_schedule_work() by doing it only when
  it is strictly necessary (no requests in driver and work left to do).

- Correct sync vs async logic. A 'normal' process can be purely async as
  well, and a flusher can be purely sync as well. Sync or async is now a
  property of the class defined and requests pending. Previously writers
  could be considered sync, when they were really async.

- Get rid of the bit fields in cfqq and crq, use flags instead.

- Various other cleanups and fixes

Jens Axboe 3d25f3566b [PATCH] Fix cfq_find_next_crq()
In cfq_find_next_crq(), cfq tries to find the next request by choosing
one of two requests before and after the current one.  Currently, when
choosing the next request, if there's no next request, the next
candidate is NULL, resulting in selection of the previous request.  This
results in weird scheduling.  Once we reach the end, we always seek
backward.

The correct behavior is using the first request as the next candidate.
cfq_choose_req() already has logics for handling wrapped requests.

Christoph Lameter 3e1d1d28d9 [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:

   frozen(process)		Check for frozen process
   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
   thaw_process(process)	Restart process
   frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now

2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
   kernel sources except sched.h

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

5. Some whitespace cleanup

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

This patch allows block device drivers to convert their ioctl functions to
unlocked_ioctl() like character devices and other subsystems.  All
functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that
way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl
functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves.

As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as
well, which looks like a bug.  I have checked that every user of
disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so
it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().

Looks like locking can be optimised quite a lot.  Increase lock widths
slightly so lo_lock is taken fewer times per request.  Also it was quite
trivial to cover lo_pending with that lock, and remove the atomic

nice (not that I particularly saw any mem ordering bugs).

block size, 4K page size).  System is 2 socket Xeon with HT (4 thread).

This memory barrier is not needed because the waitqueue will only get waiters
on it in the following situations:

rq->count has exceeded the threshold - however all manipulations of ->count
are performed under the runqueue lock, and so we will correctly pick up any
waiter.

Memory allocation for the request fails.  In this case, there is no additional
help provided by the memory barrier.  We are guaranteed to eventually wake up
waiters because the request allocation mempool guarantees that if the mem
allocation for a request fails, there must be some requests in flight.  They
will wake up waiters when they are retired.

Kiyoshi Ueda db3b5848ea When cfq I/O scheduler is selected, get_request() in __make_request() calls
__cfq_get_queue().  __cfq_get_queue() finds an existing queue (struct
cfq_queue) of the current process for the device and returns it.  If it's not
found, __cfq_get_queue() creates and returns a new one if __cfq_get_queue() is
called with __GFP_WAIT flag, or __cfq_get_queue() returns NULL (this means that
get_request() fails) if no __GFP_WAIT flag.

On the other hand, in __make_request(), get_request() is called without
__GFP_WAIT flag at the first time.  Thus, the get_request() fails when there is
no existing queue, typically when it's called for the first I/O request of the
process to the device.

Though it will be followed by get_request_wait() for general case,
__make_request() will just end the I/O with an error (EWOULDBLOCK) when the
request was for read-ahead.

Pete Zaitcev 9f793d2c77 [PATCH] USB: fix ub issues
This smoothes two imperfections:
- Increase number of LUNs per device from 4 to 9. The best solution
  would be to remove this limit altogether, but that has to wait until
  the time when more than 26 hosts are allowed.
- Replace mdelay with msleep in a probing routine.

Peter Osterlund 46f4e1b7d5 [PATCH] packet driver permission checking fix
If you tried to open a packet device first in read-only mode and then a
second time in read-write mode, the second open succeeded even though the
device was not correctly set up for writing.  If you then tried to write
data to the device, the writes would fail with I/O errors.

This patch prevents that problem by making the second open fail with
-EBUSY.

remove the feature from blk_insert_request().  Only special

Peter Osterlund 7baeb6a5cc [PATCH] CDRW/DVD packet writing data corruption fix
I found a bug in the packet writing driver that could cause data
corruption.  The problem arised if the driver got a write request for a
sector in a "zone" it was already working on.  In that case it was supposed
to queue the write request until it was done processing earlier requests
for the same zone, and instead work on some other zone in the mean time.
However, if there was no other zone to work on, the driver would initiate
two packet_data objects for the same zone, causing unpredictable things to
happen.

Peter Osterlund 118326e940 [PATCH] Fix root hole in pktcdvd
ioctl_by_bdev may only be used INSIDE the kernel.  If the "arg" argument
refers to memory that is accessed by put_user/get_user in the ioctl
function, the memory needs to be in the kernel address space (that's the
set_fs(KERNEL_DS) doing in the ioctl_by_bdev).  This works on i386 because
even with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) the user space memory is still accessible with
put_user/get_user.  That is not true for s390.  In short the ioctl
implementation of the pktcdvd device driver is horribly broken.

Stephen Tweedie 68f66feb30 [PATCH] Fix root hole in raw device
[Patch] Fix raw device ioctl pass-through

Raw character devices are supposed to pass ioctls through to the block
devices they are bound to.  Unfortunately, they are using the wrong
function for this: ioctl_by_bdev(), instead of blkdev_ioctl().

ioctl_by_bdev() performs a set_fs(KERNEL_DS) before calling the ioctl,
redirecting the user-space buffer access to the kernel address space.
This is, needless to say, a bad thing.

This was noticed first on s390, where raw IO was non-functioning.  The
s390 driver config does not actually allow raw IO to be enabled, which
was the first part of the problem.  Secondly, the s390 kernel address
space is distinct from user, causing legal raw ioctls to fail.  I've
reproduced this on a kernel built with 4G:4G split on x86, which fails
in the same way (-EFAULT if the address does not exist kernel-side;
returns success without actually populating the user buffer if it does.)

The patch below fixes both the config and address-space problems.  It's
based closely on a patch by Jan Glauber <jang@de.ibm.com>, which has
been tested on s390 at IBM.  I've tested it on x86 4G:4G (split address
space) and x86_64 (common address space).

Kernel-address-space access has been assigned CAN-2005-1264.

Christoph Hellwig 5b76ffd5d9 [PATCH] DAC960: add support for Mylex AcceleRAID 4/5/600
This patch adds support for a new class of DAC960 controllers.  It's based
on the GPLed idac320 driver from IBM for Linux 2.4.18.  That driver is a
fork of the 2.4.18 version of DAC960 that adds support for this new type of
controllers (internally called "GEM Series"), that differ from other DAC960
V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support
for all others.

This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960
driver.

Thanks to Anders Norrbring for pointing me to the idac320 driver and
testing this patch.

No Signed-Off: line because all code is either copy & pasted from IBM's
idac320 driver or support for other controllers in the 2.6 DAC960 driver.

Note: the really odd formating matches the rest of the DAC960 driver.

There is a possibility that a bio will be accessed after it has been freed
on SCSI.  It happens if you submit a bio with BIO_SYNC marked and the
auto-unplugging kicks the request_fn, SCSI re-enables interrupts in-between
so if the request completes between the add_request() in __make_request()
and the bio_sync() call, we could be looking at a dead bio.  It's a slim
race, but it has been triggered in the Real World.

So assign bio_sync() to a local variable instead.
