      [PATCH] unplugging: md update · 66db15b4
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Neil Brown <neilb@cse.unsw.edu.au>
      
      I've made a bunch of changes to the 'md' bits - largely moving the
      unplugging into the individual personalities which know more about which
      drives are actually in use.

      [PATCH] Use BIO_RW_SYNC in swap write page · b1c72a96
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
      
      Dog slow software suspend found this one. If WB_SYNC_ALL, then you need
      to mark the bio as sync as well.
      
      This is because swap_writepage() does a remove_exclusive_swap_page() (going
      to __delete_from_swap_cache -> __remove_from_page_cache) which can kill
      page->mapping, thus aops->sync_page() has nothing to work with for unplugging
      the address space.

      [PATCH] per-backing dev unplugging · 6d27f67b
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>,
            Chris Mason,
            me, others.
      
      The global unplug list causes horrid spinlock contention on many-disk
      many-CPU setups - throughput is worse than halved.
      
      The other problem with the global unplugging is of course that it will cause
      the unplugging of queues which are unrelated to the I/O upon which the caller
      is about to wait.
      
      So what we do to solve these problems is to remove the global unplug and set
      up the infrastructure under which the VFS can tell the block layer to unplug
      only those queues which are relevant to the page or buffer_head whcih is
      about to be waited upon.
      
      We do this via the very appropriate address_space->backing_dev_info structure.
      
      Most of the complexity is in devicemapper, MD and swapper_space, because for
      these backing devices, multiple queues may need to be unplugged to complete a
      page/buffer I/O.  In each case we ensure that data structures are in place to
      permit us to identify all the lower-level queues which contribute to the
      higher-level backing_dev_info.  Each contributing queue is told to unplug in
      response to a higher-level unplug.
      
      To simplify things in various places we also introduce the concept of a
      "synchronous BIO": it is tagged with BIO_RW_SYNC.  The block layer will
      perform an immediate unplug when it sees one of these go past.

      [PATCH] Implement queue congestion callout for device mapper · 1fe10e2f
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>
            Joe Thornber <thornber@redhat.com>
      
      This implements the queue congestion callout for DM stacks.  To make
      bdi_read/write_congested() return correct information.
      
      - md->lock protects all fields in md _except_ md->map
      - md->map_lock protects md->map
      - Anyone who wants to read md->map should use dm_get_table() which
        increments the tables reference count.
      
      This means the spin lock is now only held for the duration of a
      reference count increment.
      
      Udpate:
      
      dm.c: protect md->map with a rw spin lock rather than the md->lock
      semaphore.  Also ensure that everyone accesses md->map through
      dm_get_table(), rather than directly.

      [PATCH] Add queue congestion callout · 6a435d69
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Miquel van Smoorenburg <miquels@cistron.nl>
      
      The VM and VFS use the address_space_backing_dev_info to track the realtime
      status of the device which backs the mapping.  The read_congested and
      write_congested fields are used to determine whether a read or write
      against that device may block.
      
      We use this infrastructure to
      
      a) allow pdflush to service many queues in parallel (by not getting
         stuck on any particular one) and
      
      b) to avoid undesirable and uncontrolled latencies in places such as
         page reclaim and
      
      c) To avoid blocking in readahead operations
      
      The current code only supports simple disk queues (and I have a patch here
      for NFS).  Stacked queues (MD and DM) don't get this information right and
      problems were expected.  Efficiency problems have now been noted and it's
      time to fix it.
      
      This patch lays down the infrastructure which permits the queue
      implementation to get control when someone at a higher level is querying
      the queue's congestion state.  So DM (for example) can run around and
      examine all the queues which contribute to the higher-level queue.
      
      
      It also adds bdi_rw_congested() for code in xfs and ext2 that calls both
      bdi_read_congested() and bdi_write_congested() in a row, and it was "free"
      anyway.

      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
      
      zfcp host adapter fixes:
       - Reuse freed scsi_ids and scsi_luns for mappings.
       - Order list of ports/units by assigned scsi_id/scsi_lun.
       - Don't update max_id/max_lun in scsi_host anymore.
       - Get rid of all magics.
       - Add owner field to ccw_driver structure.
       - Avoid deadlock on bus->subsys.rwsem.
       - Use a macro for all scsi device sysfs attributes.
       - Change proc_name from "dummy" to "zfcp".
       - Don't wait for scsi_add_device to complete while holding a semaphore.
       - Cleanup include files in zfcp_aux.c & zfcp_def.h.
       - Get rid of zfcp_erp_fsf_req_handler.
       - Proper link up/down handling.
       - Avoid possible NULL pointer dereference in zfcp_erp_schedule_work.
       - Remove module_exit function. Without an external release function for
         the zfcp_port/zfcp_unit objects module unloading is racy.

      code was all moved anyway, and it has the benefit of helping to catch
