| * [PATCH] Cleanup blk_rq_map_* interfacesJens Axboe2005-06-201-4/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the blk_rq_map_user() and blk_rq_map_kern() interface to require a previously allocated request to be passed in. This is both more efficient for multiple iterations of mapping data to the same request, and it is also a much nicer API. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
| * [PATCH] Add blk_rq_map_kern()Mike Christie2005-06-201-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add blk_rq_map_kern which takes a kernel buffer and maps it into a request and bio. This can be used by the dm hw_handlers, old sg_scsi_ioctl, and one day scsi special requests so all requests comming into scsi will have bios. All requests having bios should allow scsi to use scatter lists for all IO and allow it to use block layer functions. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* | [PATCH] blk: fix tag shrinking (revive real_max_size)Tejun Heo2005-08-051-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My patch in commit fa72b903f75e4f0f0b2c2feed093005167da4023 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.

* | [PATCH] blk: light iocontext opsNick Piggin2005-06-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_io_context needlessly turned off interrupts and checked for racing io context creations. Both of which aren't needed, because the io context can only be created while in process context of the current process. Also, split the function in 2. A light version, current_io_context does not elevate the reference count specifically, but can be used when in process context, because the process holds a reference itself.

* | [PATCH] Update cfq io scheduler to time sliced designJens Axboe2005-06-271-8/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq v3). It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes. It supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls. The latter closely mimic set/getpriority. This import is based on my latest from -mm. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

* | [PATCH] blk: remove blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth optimizationTejun Heo2005-06-231-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth was used to optimize out unnecessary allocations/frees on tag resize. However, the whole thing was very broken - tag_map was never allocated to real_max_depth resulting in access beyond the end of the map, bits in [max_depth..real_max_depth] were set when initializing a map and copied when resizing resulting in pre-occupied tags. As the gain of the optimization is very small, well, almost nill, remove the whole thing.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch to allocate the control structures for for ide devices on the node of the device itself (for NUMA systems). The patch depends on the Slab API change patch by Manfred and me (in mm) and the pcidev_to_node patch that I posted today. Does some realignment too. Signed-off-by: Justin M.

* [SCSI] remove requeue feature from blk_insert_request()Tejun Heo2005-05-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | blk_insert_request() has a unobivous feature of requeuing a request setting REQ_SPECIAL|REQ_SOFTBARRIER. SCSI midlayer was the only user and as previous patches removed the usage, remove the feature from blk_insert_request(). Only special requests should be queued with blk_insert_request(). All requeueing should go through blk_requeue_request(). Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
* [PATCH] fix NMI lockup with CFQ scheduler2005-04-161-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | The current problem seen is that the queue lock is actually in the SCSI device structure, so when that structure is freed on device release, we go boom if the queue tries to access the lock again. The fix here is to move the lock from the scsi_device to the queue. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-161-0/+759
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
