2008-12-29block: get rid of elevator_t typedefJens Axboe
Just use struct elevator_queue everywhere instead. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-12-29aio: make the lookup_ioctx() locklessJens Axboe
The mm->ioctx_list is currently protected by a reader-writer lock, so we always grab that lock on the read side for doing ioctx lookups. As the workload is extremely reader biased, turn this into an rcu hlist so we can make lookup_ioctx() lockless. Get rid of the rwlock and use a spinlock for providing update side exclusion. There's usually only 1 entry on this list, so it doesn't make sense to look into fancier data structures. Reviewed-by: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-12-29bio: add support for inlining a number of bio_vecs inside the bioJens Axboe
When we go and allocate a bio for IO, we actually do two allocations. One for the bio itself, and one for the bi_io_vec that holds the actual pages we are interested in. This feature inlines a definable amount of io vecs inside the bio itself, so we eliminate the bio_vec array allocation for IO's up to a certain size. It defaults to 4 vecs, which is typically 16k of IO. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-12-29bio: allow individual slabs in the bio_setJens Axboe
Instead of having a global bio slab cache, add a reference to one in each bio_set that is created. This allows for personalized slabs in each bio_set, so that they can have bios of different sizes. This means we can personalize the bios we return. File systems may want to embed the bio inside another structure, to avoid allocation more items (and stuffing them in ->bi_private) after the get a bio. Or we may want to embed a number of bio_vecs directly at the end of a bio, to avoid doing two allocations to return a bio. This is now possible. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-12-29bio: move the slab pointer inside the bio_setJens Axboe
In preparation for adding differently sized bios. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-12-29bio: only mempool back the largest bio_vec slab cacheJens Axboe
We only very rarely need the mempool backing, so it makes sense to get rid of all but one of the mempool in a bio_set. So keep the largest bio_vec count mempool so we can always honor the largest allocation, and "upgrade" callers that fail. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-12-29block: simplify empty barrier implementationTejun Heo
Empty barrier required special handling in __elv_next_request() to complete it without letting the low level driver see it. With previous changes, barrier code is now flexible enough to skip the BAR step using the same barrier sequence selection mechanism. Drop the special handling and mask off q->ordered from start_ordered(). Remove blk_empty_barrier() test which now has no user. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-12-29block: make barrier completion more robustTejun Heo
Barrier completion had the following assumptions. * start_ordered() couldn't finish the whole sequence properly. If all actions are to be skipped, q->ordseq is set correctly but the actual completion was never triggered thus hanging the barrier request. * Drain completion in elv_complete_request() assumed that there's always at least one request in the queue when drain completes. Both assumptions are true but these assumptions need to be removed to improve empty barrier implementation. This patch makes the following changes. * Make start_ordered() use blk_ordered_complete_seq() to mark skipped steps complete and notify __elv_next_request() that it should fetch the next request if the whole barrier has completed inside start_ordered(). * Make drain completion path in elv_complete_request() check whether the queue is empty. Empty queue also indicates drain completion. * While at it, convert 0/1 return from blk_do_ordered() to false/true.

2008-12-29block: make every barrier action optionalTejun Heo
In all barrier sequences, the barrier write itself was always assumed to be issued and thus didn't have corresponding control flag. This patch adds QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_BAR and unify action mask handling in start_ordered() such that any barrier action can be skipped. This patch doesn't introduce any visible behavior changes.

2008-12-29block: reorganize QUEUE_ORDERED_* constantsTejun Heo
Separate out ordering type (drain,) and action masks (preflush, postflush, fua) from visible ordering mode selectors (QUEUE_ORDERED_*). Ordering types are now named QUEUE_ORDERED_BY_* while action masks are named QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_*. This change is necessary to add QUEUE_ORDERED_DO_BAR and make it optional to improve empty barrier implementation.

2008-12-29block: reorder struct bio to remove padding on 64bitRichard Kennedy

2008-12-29block: use cancel_work_sync() instead of kblockd_flush_work()Cheng Renquan
After many improvements on kblockd_flush_work, it is now identical to cancel_work_sync, so a direct call to cancel_work_sync is suggested. The only difference is that cancel_work_sync is a GPL symbol, so no non-GPL modules anymore.

2008-12-29block: Supress Buffer I/O errors when SCSI REQ_QUIET flag setKeith Mannthey
Allow the scsi request REQ_QUIET flag to be propagated to the buffer file system layer. The basic ideas is to pass the flag from the scsi request to the bio (block IO) and then to the buffer layer. The buffer layer can then suppress needless printks. This patch declutters the kernel log by removed the 40-50 (per lun) buffer io error messages seen during a boot in my multipath setup . It is a good chance any real errors will be missed in the "noise" it the logs without this patch. During boot I see blocks of messages like " __ratelimit: 211 callbacks suppressed Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242847 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 1 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242878 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242879 Buffer I/O error on device sdm, logical block 5242872 " in my logs. My disk environment is multipath fiber channel using the SCSI_DH_RDAC code and multipathd. This topology includes an "active" and "ghost" path for each lun. IO's to the "ghost" path will never complete and the SCSI layer, via the scsi device handler rdac code, quick returns the IOs to theses paths and sets the REQ_QUIET scsi flag to suppress the scsi layer messages. I am wanting to extend the QUIET behavior to include the buffer file system layer to deal with these errors as well. I have been running this patch for a while now on several boxes without issue. A few runs of bonnie++ show no noticeable difference in performance in my setup. Thanks for John Stultz for the quiet_error finalization.

2008-12-25libcrc32c: Add crc32c_le macroHerbert Xu
The bnx2x driver actually uses the crc32c_le name so this patch restores the crc32c_le symbol through a macro. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25libcrc32c: Move implementation to crypto crc32cHerbert Xu
This patch swaps the role of libcrc32c and crc32c. Previously the implementation was in libcrc32c and crc32c was a wrapper. Now the code is in crc32c and libcrc32c just calls the crypto layer. The reason for the change is to tap into the algorithm selection capability of the crypto API so that optimised implementations such as the one utilising Intel's CRC32C instruction can be used where available.

2008-12-25crypto: hash - Export shash through hashHerbert Xu
This patch allows shash algorithms to be used through the old hash interface. This is a transitional measure so we can convert the underlying algorithms to shash before converting the users across. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: hash - Add import/export interfaceHerbert Xu
It is often useful to save the partial state of a hash function so that it can be used as a base for two or more computations. The most prominent example is HMAC where all hashes start from a base determined by the key. Having an import/export interface means that we only have to compute that base once rather than for each message. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: hash - Export shash through ahashHerbert Xu
This patch allows shash algorithms to be used through the ahash interface. This is required before we can convert digest algorithms over to shash. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: hash - Add shash interfaceHerbert Xu
The shash interface replaces the current synchronous hash interface. It improves over hash in two ways. Firstly shash is reentrant, meaning that the same tfm may be used by two threads simultaneously as all hashing state is stored in a local descriptor. The other enhancement is that shash no longer takes scatter list entries. This is because shash is specifically designed for synchronous algorithms and as such scatter lists are unnecessary. All existing hash users will be converted to shash once the algorithms have been completely converted. There is also a new finup function that combines update with final. This will be extended to ahash once the algorithm conversion is done. This is also the first time that an algorithm type has their own registration function. Existing algorithm types will be converted to this way in due course. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: api - Rebirth of crypto_alloc_tfmHerbert Xu
This patch reintroduces a completely revamped crypto_alloc_tfm. The biggest change is that we now take two crypto_type objects when allocating a tfm, a frontend and a backend. In fact this simply formalises what we've been doing behind the API's back. For example, as it stands crypto_alloc_ahash may use an actual ahash algorithm or a crypto_hash algorithm. Putting this in the API allows us to do this much more cleanly. The existing types will be converted across gradually. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>
2008-12-25crypto: api - Move type exit function into crypto_tfmHerbert Xu
The type exit function needs to undo any allocations done by the type init function. However, the type init function may differ depending on the upper-level type of the transform (e.g., a crypto_blkcipher instantiated as a crypto_ablkcipher). So we need to move the exit function out of the lower-level structure and into crypto_tfm itself. As it stands this is a no-op since nobody uses exit functions at all. However, all cases where a lower-level type is instantiated as a different upper-level type (such as blkcipher as ablkcipher) will be converted such that they allocate the underlying transform and use that instead of casting (e.g., crypto_ablkcipher casted into crypto_blkcipher). That will need to use a different exit function depending on the upper-level type. This patch also allows the type init/exit functions to call (or not) cra_init/cra_exit instead of always calling them from the top level. Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

Adds the Backward Congestion Notification Address (BCNA) attribute to the Backward Congestion Notification (BCN) interface for Data Center Bridging (DCB), which was missing. Receive the BCNA attribute in the ixgbe driver. The BCNA attribute is for a switch to inform the endstation about the physical port identification in order to support BCN on aggregated links.

2008-12-20x86, bts: memory accountingMarkus Metzger
Impact: move the BTS buffer accounting to the mlock bucket Add alloc_locked_buffer() and free_locked_buffer() functions to mm/mlock.c to kalloc a buffer and account the locked memory to current. Account the memory for the BTS buffer to the tracer. Signed-off-by: Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-12-20x86, bts: add fork and exit handlingMarkus Metzger
Impact: introduce new ptrace facility Add arch_ptrace_untrace() function that is called when the tracer detaches (either voluntarily or when the tracing task dies); ptrace_disable() is only called on a voluntary detach. Add ptrace_fork() and arch_ptrace_fork(). They are called when a traced task is forked. Clear DS and BTS related fields on fork. Release DS resources and reclaim memory in ptrace_untrace(). This releases resources already when the tracing task dies. We used to do that when the traced task dies.
