2008-03-04block: separate out padding from alignmentTejun Heo
Block layer alignment was used for two different purposes - memory alignment and padding. This causes problems in lower layers because drivers which only require memory alignment ends up with adjusted rq->data_len. Separate out padding such that padding occurs iff driver explicitly requests it. Tomo: restorethe code to update bio in blk_rq_map_user introduced by the commit 40b01b9bbdf51ae543a04744283bf2d56c4a6afa according to padding alignment.

2008-03-04block: restore the meaning of rq->data_len to the true data lengthFUJITA Tomonori
The meaning of rq->data_len was changed to the length of an allocated buffer from the true data length. It breaks SG_IO friends and bsg. This patch restores the meaning of rq->data_len to the true data length and adds rq->extra_len to store an extended length (due to drain buffer and padding). This patch also removes the code to update bio in blk_rq_map_user introduced by the commit 40b01b9bbdf51ae543a04744283bf2d56c4a6afa. The commit adjusts bio according to memory alignment (queue_dma_alignment). However, memory alignment is NOT padding alignment. This adjustment also breaks SG_IO friends and bsg. Padding alignment needs to be fixed in a proper way (by a separate patch). Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@carl.home.kernel.dk>

2008-02-19block: implement request_queue->dma_drain_neededTejun Heo
Draining shouldn't be done for commands where overflow may indicate data integrity issues. Add dma_drain_needed callback to request_queue. Drain buffer is appened iff this function returns non-zero.

2008-02-19block: add request->raw_data_lenTejun Heo
With padding and draining moved into it, block layer now may extend requests as directed by queue parameters, so now a request has two sizes - the original request size and the extended size which matches the size of area pointed to by bios and later by sgs. The latter size is what lower layers are primarily interested in when allocating, filling up DMA tables and setting up the controller. Both padding and draining extend the data area to accomodate controller characteristics. As any controller which speaks SCSI can handle underflows, feeding larger data area is safe. So, this patch makes the primary data length field, request->data_len, indicate the size of full data area and add a separate length field, request->raw_data_len, for the unmodified request size. The latter is used to report to higher layer (userland) and where the original request size should be fed to the controller or device.

2008-02-19block: update bio according to DMA alignment paddingTejun Heo
DMA start address and transfer size alignment for PC requests are achieved using bio_copy_user() instead of bio_map_user(). This works because bio_copy_user() always uses full pages and block DMA alignment isn't allowed to go over PAGE_SIZE. However, the implementation didn't update the last bio of the request to make this padding visible to lower layers. This patch makes blk_rq_map_user() extend the last bio such that it includes the padding area and the size of area pointed to by the request is properly aligned.

2008-02-19elevator: make elevator_get() attempt to load the appropriate moduleJens Axboe
Currently we fail if someone requests a valid io scheduler, but it's modular and not currently loaded. That can happen from a driver init asking for a different scheduler, or online switching through sysfs as requested by a user. This patch makes elevator_get() request_module() to attempt to load the appropriate module, instead of requiring that done manually. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-02-19cfq-iosched: add hlist for browsing parallel to the radix treeJens Axboe

2008-02-01block: kill swap_io_context()Jens Axboe
It blindly copies everything in the io_context, including the lock. That doesn't work so well for either lock ordering or lockdep. There seems zero point in swapping io contexts on a request to request merge, so the best point of action is to just remove it. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-02-01as-iosched: fix inconsistent ioc->lock contextJens Axboe
Since it's acquired from irq context, all locking must be of the irq safe variant. Most are already inside the queue lock (which already disables interrupts), but the io scheduler rmmod path always has irqs enabled and the put_io_context() path may legally be called with irqs enabled (even if it isn't usually). So fixup those two. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2008-01-30as-iosched: fix double locking bug in as_merged_requests()Jens Axboe
If the two requests belong to the same io context, we will attempt to lock the same lock twice.

2008-01-28cfq-iosched: relax IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE restrictionsJens Axboe
Currently you must be root to set idle io prio class on a process. This is due to the fact that the idle class is implemented as a true idle class, meaning that it will not make progress if someone else is requesting disk access. Unfortunately this means that it opens DOS opportunities by locking down file system resources, hence it is root only at the moment. This patch relaxes the idle class a little, by removing the truly idle part (which entals a grace period with associated timer). The modifications make the idle class as close to zero impact as can be done while still guarenteeing progress. This means we can relax the root only criteria as well.

2008-01-28block: implement drain buffersJames Bottomley
These DMA drain buffer implementations in drivers are pretty horrible to do in terms of manipulating the scatterlist. Plus they're being done at least in drivers/ide and drivers/ata, so we now have code duplication. The one use case for this, as I understand it is AHCI controllers doing PIO mode to mmc devices but translating this to DMA at the controller level. So, what about adding a callback to the block layer that permits the adding of the drain buffer for the problem devices. The idea is that you'd do this in slave_configure after you find one of these devices. The beauty of doing it in the block layer is that it quietly adds the drain buffer to the end of the sg list, so it automatically gets mapped (and unmapped) without anything unusual having to be done to the scatterlist in driver/scsi or drivers/ata and without any alteration to the transfer length.

2008-01-28block: cfq: make the io contect sharing locklessJens Axboe
The io context sharing introduced a per-ioc spinlock, that would protect the cfq io context lookup. That is a regression from the original, since we never needed any locking there because the ioc/cic were process private. The cic lookup is changed from an rbtree construct to a radix tree, which we can then use RCU to make the reader side lockless. That is the performance critical path, modifying the radix tree is only done on process creation (when that process first does IO, actually) and on process exit (if that process has done IO). As it so happens, radix trees are also much faster for this type of lookup where the key is a pointer. It's a very sparse tree. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
