      iosched: prevent aliased requests from starving other I/O · 796d5116
      Jeff Moyer 提交于
      Hi, Jens,
      
      If you recall, I posted an RFC patch for this back in July of last year:
      http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/13/279
      
      The basic problem is that a process can issue a never-ending stream of
      async direct I/Os to the same sector on a device, thus starving out
      other I/O in the system (due to the way the alias handling works in both
      cfq and deadline).  The solution I proposed back then was to start
      dispatching from the fifo after a certain number of aliases had been
      dispatched.  Vivek asked why we had to treat aliases differently at all,
      and I never had a good answer.  So, I put together a simple patch which
      allows aliases to be added to the rb tree (it adds them to the right,
      though that doesn't matter as the order isn't guaranteed anyway).  I
      think this is the preferred solution, as it doesn't break up time slices
      in CFQ or batches in deadline.  I've tested it, and it does solve the
      starvation issue.  Let me know what you think.
      
      Cheers,
      Jeff

      Revert "mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not configured" · 1fa7b6a2
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      This reverts commit a197b59a.
      
      As rmk says:
       "Commit a197b59a (mm: fail GFP_DMA allocations when ZONE_DMA is not
        configured) is causing regressions on ARM with various drivers which
        use GFP_DMA.
      
        The behaviour up until now has been to silently ignore that flag when
        CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is not enabled, and to allocate from the normal zone.
        However, as a result of the above commit, such allocations now fail
        which causes drivers to fail.  These are regressions compared to the
        previous kernel version."
      
      so just revert it.

      block: fix mismerge of the DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE removal · 0f48f260
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Jens' back-merge commit 698567f3 ("Merge commit 'v2.6.39' into
      for-2.6.40/core") was incorrectly done, and re-introduced the
      DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE lines that had been removed earlier in commits
      
       - 9fd097b1 ("block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for
         legacy/fringe drivers")
      
       - 7eec77a1 ("ide: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for ide-gd
         and ide-cd")
      
      because of conflicts with the "g->flags" updates near-by by commit
      d4dc210f ("block: don't block events on excl write for non-optical
      devices")
      
      As a result, we re-introduced the hanging behavior due to infinite disk
      media change reports.
      
      Tssk, tssk, people! Don't do back-merges at all, and *definitely* don't
      do them to hide merge conflicts from me - especially as I'm likely
      better at merging them than you are, since I do so many merges.
