Currently we disable barriers as soon as we get a buffer in xlog_iodone that has the XBF_ORDERED flag cleared. But this can be the case not only for buffers where the barrier failed, but also the first buffer of a split log write in case of a log wraparound. Due to the disabled barriers we can easily get directory corruption on unclean shutdowns. So instead of using this check add a new buffer flag for failed barrier writes. This is a regression vs 2.6.26 caused by patch to use the right macro to check for the ORDERED flag, as we previously got true returned for every buffer. Thanks to Toei Rei for reporting the bug.

We already did that a long time ago for pnp_system_init, but pnpacpi_init and pnpbios_init remained as subsys_initcalls, and get linked into the kernel before the arch-specific routines that finalize the PCI resources (pci_subsys_init). This means that the PnP routines would either register their resources before the PCI layer could, or would be unable to check whether a PCI resource had already been registered. Both are problematic. I wanted to do this before 2.6.27, but every time we change something like this, something breaks. That said, _every_ single time we trust some firmware (like PnP tables) more than we trust the hardware itself (like PCI probing), the problems have been worse.

This is debatable, but while we're debating it, let's disallow the combination of splice and an O_APPEND destination. It's not entirely clear what the semantics of O_APPEND should be, and POSIX apparently expects pwrite() to ignore O_APPEND, for example. So we could make up any semantics we want, including the old ones. But Miklos convinced me that we should at least give it some thought, and that accepting writes at arbitrary offsets is wrong at least for IS_APPEND() files (which always have O_APPEND set, even if the reverse isn't true: you can obviously have O_APPEND set on a regular file). So disallow O_APPEND entirely for now. I doubt anybody cares, and this way we have one less gray area to worry about.

This fixes the previous fix, which was completely wrong on closer inspection. This version has been manually tested with a user-space test harness and generates sane values. A nearly identical patch has been boot-tested. The problem arose from changing how kmalloc/kfree handled alignment padding without updating ksize to match. This brings it in sync.

This patch adds an new interface, blk_lld_busy(), to check lld's busy state from the block layer. blk_lld_busy() calls down into low-level drivers for the checking if the drivers set q->lld_busy_fn() using blk_queue_lld_busy(). This resolves a performance problem on request stacking devices below. Some drivers like scsi mid layer stop dispatching request when they detect busy state on its low-level device like host/target/device. It allows other requests to stay in the I/O scheduler's queue for a chance of merging. Request stacking drivers like request-based dm should follow the same logic. However, there is no generic interface for the stacked device to check if the underlying device(s) are busy. If the request stacking driver dispatches and submits requests to the busy underlying device, the requests will stay in the underlying device's queue without a chance of merging. This causes performance problem on burst I/O load. With this patch, busy state of the underlying device is exported via q->lld_busy_fn(). So the request stacking driver can check it and stop dispatching requests if busy. The underlying device driver must return the busy state appropriately: 1: when the device driver can't process requests immediately. 0: when the device driver can process requests immediately, including abnormal situations where the device driver needs to kill all requests.

This header file is of interest for user space programming, i.e. for tools that process blktrace data. We would like to use it for a tool on-top of blktrace which processes data provided by blktrace. For this purpose, it would be helpful if the blktrace API would make it to /usr/include/linux. The git tree for the blktrace tools comes with its own copy of this header file. I didn't manage to replace that copy with the file generated by the patch below yet. A few more cleanups would be needed. For example, the blktrace ioctl numbers, which are currently defined in usr/include/fs.h, might need to be moved. Should be feasible, though.
