* scsi/i2o_block: cleanup ioctl handlingArnd Bergmann2010-08-071-6/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes the ioctl function of the i2o_block driver, which has multiple problems: * The BLKI2OSRSTRAT and BLKI2OSWSTRAT commands always return -ENOTTY on success, where they should return 0. * Support for 32 bit compat is missing * The driver should use the .ioctl function and because .locked_ioctl is going away. The use of the big kernel lock remains for now, but gets made explictit in the ioctl function. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>
* scsi: fix discard page leakFUJITA Tomonori2010-08-072-7/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We leak a page allocated for discard on some error conditions (e.g. scsi_prep_state_check returns BLKPREP_DEFER in scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd). We unprep on requests that weren't prepped in the error path of scsi_init_io. It makes the error path to clean up scsi commands messy. Let's strictly apply the rule that we can't unprep on a request that wasn't prepped. Calling just scsi_put_command() in the error path of scsi_init_io() is enough. We don't set REQ_DONTPREP yet. scsi_setup_discard_cmnd can safely free a page on the error case with the above rule.

* writeback: Add tracing to write_cache_pagesDave Chinner2010-08-072-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | Add a trace event to the ->writepage loop in write_cache_pages to give visibility into how the ->writepage call is changing variables within the writeback control structure. Of most interest is how wbc->nr_to_write changes from call to call, especially with filesystems that write multiple pages in ->writepage.

* writeback: Initial tracing supportDave Chinner2010-08-073-8/+124
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Trace queue/sched/exec parts of the writeback loop. This provides insight into when and why flusher threads are scheduled to run. e.g a sync invocation leaves traces like: sync-[...]: writeback_queue: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0 flush-8:0-[...]: writeback_exec: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0 This also lays the foundation for adding more writeback tracing to provide deeper insight into the whole writeback path. The original tracing code is from Jens Axboe, though this version is a rewrite as a result of the code being traced changing significantly.

* block: introduce REQ_FLUSH flagFUJITA Tomonori2010-08-072-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | SCSI-ml needs a way to mark a request as flush request in q->prepare_flush_fn because it needs to identify them later (e.g. in q->request_fn or prep_rq_fn). queue_flush sets REQ_HARDBARRIER in rq->cmd_flags however the block layer also sends normal REQ_TYPE_FS requests with REQ_HARDBARRIER. So SCSI-ml can't use REQ_HARDBARRIER to identify flush requests. We could change the block layer to clear REQ_HARDBARRIER bit before sending non flush requests to the lower layers. However, intorudcing the new flag looks cleaner (surely easier). Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Cc: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de> Cc: David S.

* block: don't allocate a payload for discard requestChristoph Hellwig2010-08-074-45/+74
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allocating a fixed payload for discard requests always was a horrible hack, and it's not coming to byte us when adding support for discard in DM/MD. So change the code to leave the allocation of a payload to the lowlevel driver. Unfortunately that means we'll need another hack, which allows us to update the various block layer length fields indicating that we have a payload. Instead of hiding this in sd.c, which we already partially do for UNMAP support add a documented helper in the core block layer for it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A barrier request should by defintion have priority in get_request and let the queue be unplugged immediately as it's blocking all forward progress due to the queue draining. Most filesystems already get this implicitly by the way how submit_bh treats the buffer_ordered flag, and gfs2 sets it explicitly. But btrfs and XFS are still forgetting to set the flag, as is blkdev_issue_flush and some places in DM/MD. For XFS on metadata heavy workloads this gives a consistent speedup in the 2-3% range.

This adds /sys/block/<dev>/queue/add_random that will allow you to switch off on a per-device basis. The default setting is on, so there should be no functional changes from this patch.
