Currently, both generic elevator code and specific ioscheds participate in the management and usage of last_merge. This and the following patches move last_merge handling into generic elevator code. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

Jens Axboe authored
This patch updates all four ioscheds to use generic dispatch queue. There's one behavior change in as-iosched. * In as-iosched, when force dispatching (ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK), batch_data_dir is reset to REQ_SYNC and changed_batch and new_batch are cleared to zero. This prevernts AS from doing incorrect update_write_batch after the forced dispatched requests are finished. * In cfq-iosched, cfqd->rq_in_driver currently counts the number of activated (removed) requests to determine whether queue-kicking is needed and cfq_max_depth has been reached. With generic dispatch queue, I think counting the number of dispatched requests would be more appropriate. * cfq_max_depth can be lowered to 1 again. Original from Tejun Heo, modified version applied. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

Implements generic dispatch queue which can replace all dispatch queues implemented by each iosched. This reduces code duplication, eases enforcing semantics over dispatch queue, and simplifies specific ioscheds. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

This patch removes try_module_get race in elevator_find. try_module_get should always be called with the spinlock protecting what the module init/cleanup routines register/unregister to held. In the case of elevators, we should be holding elv_list to avoid it going away between spin_unlock_irq and try_module_get.

disk stat when "now" is different from disk->stamp. Otherwise, we are again needlessly adding zero to the stats. Signed-off-by: Ken Chen <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

struct gendisk has these two fields: stamp, stamp_idle. Update to stamp_idle is always in sync with stamp and they are always the same. Therefore, it does not add any value in having two fields tracking same timestamp. Suggest to remove it. Also, we should only update gendisk stats with non-zero value. Advantage is that we don't have to needlessly calculate memory address, and then add zero to the content. Signed-off-by: Ken Chen <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

This bug is responsible for causing the infamous "Treason uncloaked" messages that's been popping up everywhere since the printk was added. It has usually been blamed on foreign operating systems. However, some of those reports implicate Linux as both systems are running Linux or the TCP connection is going across the loopback interface. In fact, there really is a bug in the Linux TCP header prediction code that's been there since at least 2.1.8. This bug was tracked down with help from Dale Blount. The effect of this bug ranges from harmless "Treason uncloaked" messages to hung/aborted TCP connections. The details of the bug and fix is as follows. When snd_wnd is updated, we only update pred_flags if tcp_fast_path_check succeeds. When it fails (for example, when our rcvbuf is used up), we will leave pred_flags with an out-of-date snd_wnd value. When the out-of-date pred_flags happens to match the next incoming packet we will again hit the fast path and use the current snd_wnd which will be wrong. In the case of the treason messages, it just happens that the snd_wnd cached in pred_flags is zero while tp->snd_wnd is non-zero. Therefore when a zero-window packet comes in we incorrectly conclude that the window is non-zero. In fact if the peer continues to send us zero-window pure ACKs we will continue making the same mistake. It's only when the peer transmits a zero-window packet with data attached that we get a chance to snap out of it. This is what triggers the treason message at the next retransmit timeout.

This just makes sure that a thread's expiry times can't get reset after it clears them in do_exit. This is what allowed us to re-introduce the stricter BUG_ON() check in a362f463. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This reverts commit 3de463c7. Roland has another patch that allows us to leave the BUG_ON() in place by just making sure that the condition it tests for really is always true. That goes in next. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

There's a silly off-by-one error in the code that updates the expiration of posix CPU timers, causing them to not be properly updated when they hit exactly on their expiration time (which should be the normal case). This causes them to then fire immediately again, and only _then_ get properly updated. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

fsck_hfs reveals lots of temporary files accumulating in the hidden directory "\000\000\000HFS+ Private Data". According to the HFS+ documentation these are files which are unlinked while in use. However, there may be a bug in the Linux hfsplus implementation which causes this to happen even when the files are not in use. It looks like the "opencnt" field is never initialized as (I think) it should be in hfsplus_read_inode. This means that a file can appear to be still in use when in fact it has been closed. This patch seems to fix it for me.

Although this message is having the intended effect of causing wireless driver maintainers to upgrade their code, I never should have merged this patch in its present form. Leading to tons of bug reports and unhappy users. Some wireless apps poll for statistics regularly, which leads to a printk() every single time they ask for stats. That's a little bit _too_ much of a reminder that the driver is using an old API. Change this to printing out the message once, per kernel boot.

The mpic interrupt controller driver (used on G5 and early pSeries among others) has a bug where it doesn't get the right virtual address for the timer registers. It causes the driver to poke at the MMIO space of whatever has been mapped just next to it (ouch !) when initializing and causes boot failures on some IBM machines.

The NUMA counters in struct per_cpu_pageset (linux/mmzone.h) are never cleared today. This works ok for CPU 0 on NUMA machines because boot_pageset[] is already zero, but for other CPU:s this results in uninitialized counters.

Patch from Ian Campbell Sparse complains about the definition of generic_fls in asm-arm/bitops.h: CHECK /home/icampbell/devel/kernel/2.6/arch/arm/mach-pxa/viper.c include2/asm/bitops.h:350:34: error: marked inline, but without a definition The definition is unnecessary since linux/bitops.h defines generic_fls before including asm/bitops.h and asm/bitops.h should not be included directly. There are still some places where asm/bitops.h is directly included, but I think that code should be fixed. I was a little wary of the patch for this reason but lubbock, mainstone and assabet all build OK and so do my in house boards... ARM is the only arch with the generic_fls prototype in this way.

If qla2x00_probe_one()'s call to qla2x00_iospace_config() fails, we call qla2x00_free_device() to clean up. But because ha->dpc_pid hasn't been set yet, qla2x00_free_device() tries to stop a kernel thread which hasn't started yet. It does wait_for_completion() against an uninitialised completion struct and the kernel hangs up. Fix it by initialising ha->dpc_pid a bit earlier.

My alpha build is exploding because asm/atomic.h now needs smb_mb(), which is over in the (not included) system.h.
