* cpumask: use topology_core_cpumask/topology_thread_cpumask instead of ↵Rusty Russell2009-03-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | cpu_core_map/cpu_sibling_map Impact: cleanup This is presumably what those definitions are for, and while all archs define cpu_core_map/cpu_sibling map, that's changing (eg. x86 wants to change it to a pointer). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* block: fix oops in blk_queue_io_stat()Jens Axboe2009-02-021-0/+8
| | | | | | | | Some initial probe requests don't have disk->queue mapped yet, so we can't rely on a non-NULL queue in blk_queue_io_stat(). Wrap it in blk_do_io_stat(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* cpumask: Replace cpu_coregroup_map with cpu_coregroup_maskRusty Russell2008-12-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | cpu_coregroup_map returned a cpumask_t: it's going away. (Note, the sched part of this patch won't apply meaningfully to the sched tree, but I'm posting it to show the goal).

* block: remove __generic_unplug_device() from exportsJens Axboe2008-10-171-0/+1
| | | | | | | The only out-of-core user is IDE, and that should be using blk_start_queueing() instead. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: add fault injection mechanism for faking request timeoutsJens Axboe2008-10-091-0/+12
| | | | | | | | Only works for the generic request timer handling. Allows one to sporadically ignore request completions, thus exercising the timeout handling. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: unify request timeout handlingJens Axboe2008-10-091-0/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling. Move those bits to the block layer. Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot less timer fiddling.

* block: add support for IO CPU affinityJens Axboe2008-10-091-0/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper (bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask for completion on that specific CPU. In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired. This requires a little help from the architecture, so it'll only work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp helper infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: Block layer data integrity supportMartin K. Petersen2008-07-031-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some block devices support verifying the integrity of requests by way of checksums or other protection information that is submitted along with the I/O. This patch implements support for generating and verifying integrity metadata, as well as correctly merging, splitting and cloning bios and requests that have this extra information attached. See Documentation/block/data-integrity.txt for more information. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: rename and export rq_init()FUJITA Tomonori2008-04-291-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This rename rq_init() blk_rq_init() and export it. Any path that hands the request to the block layer needs to call it to initialize the request. This is a preparation for large command support, which needs to initialize the request in a proper way (that is, just doing a memset() will not work).
