      SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout · e52eec13
      Andi Kleen 提交于
      I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are
      making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another
      directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them.
      
      This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option
      that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way
      the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option
      on the command line.
      
      The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set
      the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing
      config files.
      
      Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining
      CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes
      care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code
      look nicer.
      
      v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only
      handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems
      and that seems to work.

      cfq-iosched: Fix a gcc 4.5 warning and put some comments · b4627321
      Vivek Goyal 提交于
      - Andi encountedred following warning with gcc 4.5
      
        linux/block/cfq-iosched.c: In function ‘cfq_dispatch_requests’:
        linux/block/cfq-iosched.c:2156:3: warning: array subscript is above array
        bounds
      
      - Warning happens due to following code.
      
        slice = group_slice * count /
      		max_t(unsigned, cfqg->busy_queues_avg[cfqd->serving_prio],
      		cfq_group_busy_queues_wl(cfqd->serving_prio, cfqd, cfqg));
      
        gcc is complaining about cfqg->busy_queues_avg[] being indexed by CFQ
        prio classes (RT, BE and IDLE) while the array size is only 2.
      
      - At run time, we never access cfqg->busy_queues_avg[IDLE] and return from
        function before this code hits.
      
      - To fix warning increase the array size though it will remain unused. This
        patch also puts some comments to clarify some of the confusions.
      
      - I have taken Jens's patch and modified it a bit.
      
      - Compile tested with gcc 4.4 and boot tested. I don't have gcc 4.5
        running, Andi can you please test it with gcc 4.5 to make sure it
        worked.

      Its reason is the wrong way of accounting hd_struct->in_flight. When a bio is
      merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE.
      
      The detailed root cause is as follows.
      
      Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2.
      
      1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight
         is 0 and sda2's one is 1.
      
              | hd_struct->in_flight
         ---------------------------
         sda1 |          0
         sda2 |          1
         ---------------------------
      
      2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on
         step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed
         from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's
         hd_struct->in_flight are not changed.
      
              | hd_struct->in_flight
         ---------------------------
         sda1 |          0
         sda2 |          1
         ---------------------------
      
      3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case,
         sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented.
      
              | hd_struct->in_flight
         ---------------------------
         sda1 |         -1
         sda2 |          1
         ---------------------------
      
      The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup
      inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment
      and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This
      also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on
      the number of lookups we have to do.
      
      When reloading partition tables, quiesce IO to ensure that no
      request references to the partition struct exists. When it is safe
      to free the partition table, the IO for that device is restarted
      again.

      llseek: automatically add .llseek fop · 6038f373
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
      nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
      .llseek pointer.
      
      The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
      and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
      the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
      the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.
      
      New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
      and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
      to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
      relies on calling seek on the device file.
      
      The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
      comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
      chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
      be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
      seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.
      
      Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
      the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.
      
      Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
      patch that does all this.

      elevator: fix oops on early call to elevator_change() · 430c62fb
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      2.6.36 introduces an API for drivers to switch the IO scheduler
      instead of manually calling the elevator exit and init functions.
      This API was added since q->elevator must be cleared in between
      those two calls. And since we already have this functionality
      directly from use by the sysfs interface to switch schedulers
      online, it was prudent to reuse it internally too.
      
      But this API needs the queue to be in a fully initialized state
      before it is called, or it will attempt to unregister elevator
      kobjects before they have been added. This results in an oops
      like this:

      block: Prevent hang_check firing during long I/O · 4b197769
      Mark Lord 提交于
      During long I/O operations, the hang_check timer may fire,
      trigger stack dumps that unnecessarily alarm the user.
      
      Eg.  hdparm --security-erase NULL /dev/sdb  ## can take *hours* to complete
      
      So, if hang_check is armed, we should wake up periodically
      to prevent it from triggering.  This patch uses a wake-up interval
      equal to half the hang_check timer period, which keeps overhead low enough.

      The problem here is that we don't have bdi->dev information available when
      thread does some IO.  Hence when dev_name() tries to access bdi->dev, it
      crashes.
      
      This problem does not happen if kernel threads are in root group as root
      group is statically allocated at device initialization time and we don't
      hit this piece of code.
      
      Fix it by delaying the filling of major and minor number information of
      device in blk_group.  Initially a blk_group is created with 0 as device
      information and this information is filled later once some more IO comes
      in from same group.

      cfq: improve fsync performance for small files · 749ef9f8
      Corrado Zoccolo 提交于
      Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is
      lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between
      the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit.
      
      Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing
      small files and fsync-ing them is starved.
      
      This patch fixes the two problems by:
      - marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE
        flag set,
      - force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle
        tree.
      
      Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated
       to journal commits in the noidle tree allows:
      - switching between them without idling,
      - fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only
        after the noidle tree expires its slice.

      block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT · dd3932ed
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous
      caller.  To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs
      to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
      state machine ahead.  So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
      specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
      argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout.  For
      blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
      gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

      block: Fix race during disk initialization · 01ea5063
      Signed-off-by: Jan Kara 提交于
      When a new disk is being discovered, add_disk() first ties the bdev to gendisk
      (via register_disk()->blkdev_get()) and only after that calls
      bdi_register_bdev(). Because register_disk() also creates disk's kobject, it
      can happen that userspace manages to open and modify the device's data (or
      inode) before its BDI is properly initialized leading to a warning in
      __mark_inode_dirty().
      
      Fix the problem by registering BDI early enough.
