      [PATCH] cfq-iosched: many performance fixes · caaa5f9f
      Jens Axboe authored
      This is a collection of patches that greatly improve CFQ performance
      in some circumstances.
      
      - Change the idling logic to only kick in after a request is done and we
        are deciding what to do. Before the idling included the request service
        time, so it was hard to adjust. Now it's true think/idle time.
      
      - Take advantage of TCQ/NCQ/queueing for seeky sync workloads, but keep
        it in control for sync and sequential (or close to) workloads.
      
      - Expire queues immediately and move on to other busy queues, if we are
        not going to idle after the current one finishes.
      
      - Don't rearm idle timer if there are no busy queues. Just leave the
        system idle.

      [PATCH] cfq-iosched: correctly set ioprio on both targets · 35e6077c
      Jens Axboe authored
      Patch originally from Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@sw.ru>
      
      If you set io-priority of process 1 using sys_ioprio_set system call by
      another process 2 (like ionice do), then cfq_init_prio_data() function
      sets priority of process 2 (current) on queue of process 1 and clears
      the flag, that designates change of ioprio.  So the process  1 will work
      like with priority of process 2.
      
      I propose not to call cfq_init_prio_data() on io-priority change, but
      only mark queue as queue with changed prority.  Every time when new
      request comes cfq-scheduler checks for this flag and atomaticaly changes
      priority of queue to new value.

      [PATCH] Kill PF_SYNCWRITE flag · b31dc66a
      Jens Axboe authored
      A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
      ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
      io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
      and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
      previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
      this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.
      
      Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
      the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
      by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

      Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso authored
      The queue lock can be taken from interrupts so it must always be taken with
      irq disabling primitives.  Some primitives already verify this.
      blk_start_queue() is called under this lock, so interrupts must be
      disabled.
      
      Also document this requirement clearly in blk_init_queue(), where the queue
      spinlock is set.

      [PATCH] drivers/block/loop.c: don't return garbage if LOOP_SET_STATUS not called · eefe85ee
      Constantine Sapuntzakis authored
      While writing a version of losetup, I ran into the problem that the loop
      device was returning total garbage.
      
      It turns out the problem was that this losetup was only issuing the
      LOOP_SET_FD ioctl and not issuing a subsequent LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl.  This
      losetup didn't have any special status to set, so it left out the call.
      
      The deeper cause is that loop_set_fd sets the transfer function to NULL,
      which causes no transfer to happen lo_do_transfer.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by setting transfer to transfer_none in
      loop_set_fd.

      [PATCH] make kernel warn about incorrectly sized partitions · 98bd34ea
      Mike Miller authored
      Sometimes partitions claim to be larger than the reported capacity of a
      disk device.  This patch makes the kernel warn about those partitions.
      
      We still permit these patitions to be used.  Quoting Andries Brouwer
      <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>:
      
       Case 1: The kernel is mistaken about the size of the disk.  (There are
       commands to clip a disk to a certain capacity, there are jumpers to tell a
       disk that it should report a certain capacity etc.  Usually this is because
       of BIOS bugs.  In bad cases the machine will crash in the BIOS and hence fail
       to boot if the disk reports full capacity.) In such cases actually accessing
       the blocks of the partition may work fine, or may work fine after running an
       unclip utility.  I wrote "setmax" some years ago precisely for this reason.
      
       Case 2: There was a messy partition table (maybe just a rounding error) but
       the actual filesystem on the partition is contained in the physical disk.
       Now using the filesystem goes without problem.
      
       Case 3: Both partition and filesystem extend beyond the end of the disk.  In
       forensic or debugging situations one often uses a copy of the start of a
       disk.  Now access beyond the end gives an expected I/O error.
