      [PATCH] remove blk_queue_activity_fn · 2b02a179
      Boaz Harrosh 提交于
      While working on bidi support at struct request level
      I have found that blk_queue_activity_fn is actually never used.
      The only user is in ide-probe.c with this code:
      
      	/* enable led activity for disk drives only */
      	if (drive->media == ide_disk && hwif->led_act)
      		blk_queue_activity_fn(q, hwif->led_act, drive);
      
      And led_act is never initialized anywhere.
      (Looking back at older kernels it was used in the PPC arch, but was removed around 2.6.18)
      Unless it is all for future use off course.
      (this patch is against linux-2.6-block.git as off 2006/12/4)

      [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6] · 9361401e
      David Howells 提交于
      Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
      it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
      the block layer to be present.
      
      This patch does the following:
      
       (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
           support.
      
       (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
           an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:
      
           (*) Block I/O tracing.
      
           (*) Disk partition code.
      
           (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.
      
           (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
           	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
           	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.
      
           (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
           	 drivers.
      
           (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.
      
           (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
           	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.
      
       (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
           linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
           however, still used in places, and so is still available.
      
       (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
           parts of linux/fs.h.
      
       (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
           is not enabled.
      
       (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
           required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:
      
           (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).
      
       (*) Makes some /proc changes:
      
           (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.
      
           (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
           given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.
      
       (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.
      
       (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
           error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).
      
       (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

      [PATCH] cfq-iosched: kill cfq_exit_lock · fc46379d
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      cfq_exit_lock is protecting two things now:
      
      - The per-ioc rbtree of cfq_io_contexts
      
      - The per-cfqd linked list of cfq_io_contexts
      
      The per-cfqd linked list can be protected by the queue lock, as it is (by
      definition) per cfqd as the queue lock is.
      
      The per-ioc rbtree is mainly used and updated by the process itself only.
      The only outside use is the io priority changing. If we move the
      priority changing to not browsing the rbtree, we can remove any locking
      from the rbtree updates and lookup completely. Let the sys_ioprio syscall
      just mark processes as having the iopriority changed and lazily update
      the private cfq io contexts the next time io is queued, and we can
      remove this locking as well.

      Jens Axboe 提交于
      After Christophs SCSI change, the only usage left is RQ_ACTIVE
      and RQ_INACTIVE. The block layer sets RQ_INACTIVE right before freeing
      the request, so any check for RQ_INACTIVE in a driver is a bug and
      indicates use-after-free.
      
      So kill/clean the remaining users, straight forward.

      Right now, every IO scheduler implements its own backmerging (except for
      noop, which does no merging). That results in duplicated code for
      essentially the same operation, which is never a good thing. This patch
      moves the backmerging out of the io schedulers and into the elevator
      core. We save 1.6kb of text and as a bonus get backmerging for noop as
      well. Win-win!
