The target mode support is mapping in bios using bio_map_user. The current targets do not need their len to be aligned with a queue limit so this check is causing some problems. Note: pointers passed into the kernel are properly aligned by usersapace tgt code so the uaddr check in bio_map_user is ok. The major user, blk_bio_map_user checks for the len before mapping so it is not affected by this patch. And the semi-newly added user blk_rq_map_user_iov has been failing out when the len is not aligned properly so maybe people have been good and not sending misaligned lens or that path is not used very often and this change will not be very dangerous. st and sg do not check the length and we have not seen any problem reports from those wider used paths so this patch should be fairly safe - for mm and wider testing at least.

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: NDavid Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

In the very low memory systems is in the init_bio call scale parameter set to zero and it leads to creating zero sized mempool. This patch prevents pool_entries parameter become zero, so the created pool have at least 1 entry. Mempool with 0 entries lead to incorrect behaviour of mempool_free.

I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in a cache line that contained inodes_stat. So each time inodes_stats is changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line. This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to avoid false sharing. RCU dentry lookups can go full speed. Signed-off-by: NEric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The biovec default mempool limit of 256 entries results in over 3MB of RAM being permanently pinned, even on systems with only 128MB of RAM. Since mempool tries to allocate from the system pool first, it makes sense to reduce the size of the mempool fallbacks to a more reasonable limit of 1-5 entries -- enough for the system to be able to make progress even under load.

- export __blk_put_request and blk_execute_rq_nowait needed for async REQ_BLOCK_PC requests - seperate max_hw_sectors and max_sectors for block/scsi_ioctl.c and SG_IO bio.c helpers per Jens's last comments. Since block/scsi_ioctl.c SG_IO was already testing against max_sectors and SCSI-ml was setting max_sectors and max_hw_sectors to the same value this does not change any scsi SG_IO behavior. It only prepares ll_rw_blk.c, scsi_ioctl.c and bio.c for when SCSI-ml begins to set a valid max_hw_sectors for all LLDs. Today if a LLD does not set it SCSI-ml sets it to a safe default and some LLDs set it to a artificial low value to overcome memory and feedback issues. Note: Since we now cap max_sectors to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS, which is 1024, drivers that used to call blk_queue_max_sectors with a large value of max_sectors will now see the fs requests capped to BLK_DEF_MAX_SECTORS.

Add scsi helpers to create really-large-requests and convert scsi-ml to scsi_execute_async(). Per Jens's previous comments, I placed this function in scsi_lib.c. I made it follow all the queue's limits - I think I did at least :), so I removed the warning on the function header. I think the scsi_execute_* functions should eventually take a request_queue and be placed some place where the dm-multipath hw_handler can use them if that failover code is going to stay in the kernel. That conversion patch will be sent in another mail though. Signed-off-by: NMike Christie <michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> Signed-off-by: NJames Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>

- ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated - missing gfp_t in fs/* added - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks: XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator. The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a different type for those but for now let's leave them alone. That, BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with no way to catch misuses. Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that immediately... One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is a mix of gfp_t and error indications. Left alone for now.

Add a new section called ".data.read_mostly" for data items that are read frequently and rarely written to like cpumaps etc. If these maps are placed in the .data section then these frequenly read items may end up in cachelines with data is is frequently updated. In that case all processors in an SMP system must needlessly reload the cachelines again and again containing elements of those frequently used variables. The ability to share these cachelines will allow each cpu in an SMP system to keep local copies of those shared cachelines thereby optimizing performance.

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!
