When a bio is merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE. The detailed root cause is as follows. Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2. 1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight is 0 and sda2's one is 1. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | 0 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- 2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's hd_struct->in_flight are not changed. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | 0 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- 3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case, sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | -1 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on the number of lookups we have to do. When reloading partition tables, quiesce IO to ensure that no request references to the partition struct exists. When it is safe to free the partition table, the IO for that device is restarted again.

| * block: Make the integrity mapped property a bio flagMartin K. Petersen2010-10-152-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously we tracked whether the integrity metadata had been remapped using a request flag. This was fine for low-level retries. However, if an I/O was redriven by upper layers we would end up remapping again, causing the retry to fail. Deprecate the REQ_INTEGRITY flag and introduce BIO_MAPPED_INTEGRITY which enables filesystems to notify lower layers that the bio in question has already been remapped. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

| * blkio: Recalculate the throttled bio dispatch time upon throttle limit changeVivek Goyal2010-10-014-35/+139
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Currently any cgroup throttle limit changes are processed asynchronousy and the change does not take affect till a new bio is dispatched from same group. o It might happen that a user sets a redicuously low limit on throttling. Say 1 bytes per second on reads. In such cases simple operations like mount a disk can wait for a very long time. o Once bio is throttled, there is no easy way to come out of that wait even if user increases the read limit later. o This patch fixes it. Now if a user changes the cgroup limits, we recalculate the bio dispatch time according to new limits. o Can't take queueu lock under blkcg_lock, hence after the change I wake up the dispatch thread again which recalculates the time. So there are some variables being synchronized across two threads without lock and I had to make use of barriers. Hoping I have used barriers correctly. Any review of memory barrier code especially will help. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

This was not a problem so far but in next patch I will travel through td->tg_list to process any updates of limits on the group. If root group is not in tg_list, then root group's updates are not processed. o It is better to root group also to tg_list instead of doing special processing for it during limit updates.

| * cfq: improve fsync performance for small filesCorrado Zoccolo2010-09-203-16/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit. Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing small files and fsync-ing them is starved. This patch fixes the two problems by: - marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE flag set, - force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle tree. Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated to journal commits in the noidle tree allows: - switching between them without idling, - fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only after the noidle tree expires its slice.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a new disk is being discovered, add_disk() first ties the bdev to gendisk (via register_disk()->blkdev_get()) and only after that calls bdi_register_bdev(). Because register_disk() also creates disk's kobject, it can happen that userspace manages to open and modify the device's data (or inode) before its BDI is properly initialized leading to a warning in __mark_inode_dirty().

| * block/scsi: Provide a limit on the number of integrity segmentsMartin K. Petersen2010-09-1012-50/+167
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some controllers have a hardware limit on the number of protection information scatter-gather list segments they can handle. Introduce a max_integrity_segments limit in the block layer and provide a new scsi_host_template setting that allows HBA drivers to provide a value suitable for the hardware. Add support for honoring the integrity segment limit when merging both bios and requests. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If we get a bit-flip of ECC error while reading the data area, do not add it to corrupted list, because it is possible that this is just unstable PEB with corruptions caused by unclean reboots.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While scanning the flash we read all VID headers and store some important information in 'struct ubi_scan_leb'. Store also the 'copy_flag' value there as it is needed when comparing LEBs. We do not increase memory consumption because this is just one bit and we have plenty of spare bits in 'struct ubi_scan_leb' (sizeof(struct ubi_scan_leb) is 48 both with and without this patch).

| * | UBI: preserve corrupted PEBsArtem Bityutskiy2010-10-197-47/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently UBI erases all corrupted eraseblocks, irrespectively of the nature of corruption: corruption due to power cuts and non-power cut corruption. The former case is OK, but the latter is not, because UBI may destroy potentially important data. With this patch, during scanning, when UBI hits a PEB with corrupted VID header, it checks whether this PEB contains only 0xFF data. If yes, it is safe to erase this PEB and it is put to the 'erase' list. If not, this may be important data and it is better to avoid erasing this PEB. Instead, UBI puts it to the corr list and moves out of the pool of available PEB. IOW, UBI preserves this PEB. Such corrupted PEB lessen the amount of available PEBs. So the more of them we accumulate, the less PEBs are available. The maximum amount of non-power cut corrupted PEBs is 8. This patch is a response to UBIFS problem where reporter (Matthew L. Creech <mlcreech@gmail.com>) observes that UBIFS index points to an unmapped LEB. The theory is that corresponding PEB somehow got corrupted and UBI wiped it. This patch (actually a series of patches) tries to make sure such PEBs are preserved - this would make it is easier to analyze the corruption.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Start using the 'corr' list and add there PEBs which look truly corrupted, which means they have corrupted VID header and the data which follows the corrupted header does not contain all 0xFF bytes. At the moment, this does not change UBI functionality much because these PEBs will be erase when scanning finishes. But the plan is to teach UBI preserving them.

| * | UBI: do not put eraseblocks to the corrupted list unnecessarilyArtem Bityutskiy2010-10-193-72/+90

'erase' list - PEBs which have no corruptions but should be erased 2. 'corr' list - PEBs which have some corruptions and should be erased But we do not really need 2 lists for PEBs which should be erased after scanning is done - this is redundant. So this patch makes sure all PEBs which are corrupted are moved to the head of the 'erase' list. We add them to the head to make sure they are erased first and we get rid of corruption ASAP. However, we do not remove the 'corr' list and realted functions, because the plan is to use this list for other purposes. Namely, we plan to put eraseblocks with corruption which does not look like it was caused by unclean power cut. Then we'll preserve thes PEBs in order to avoid killing potentially valuable user data. This patch also amends PEBs accounting, because it was closely tight to the 'erase'/'corr' lists separation. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
