* generic-ipi: remove CSD_FLAG_WAITPeter Zijlstra2009-02-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Oleg noticed that we don't strictly need CSD_FLAG_WAIT, rework the code so that we can use CSD_FLAG_LOCK for both purposes.

* block: add fault injection mechanism for faking request timeoutsJens Axboe2008-10-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | 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 Axboe2008-10-091-12/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Axboe2008-10-091-31/+95
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>
