* block: leave the request timeout timer running even on an empty listJens Axboe2008-12-291-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For sync IO, we'll often do them serialized. This means we'll be touching the queue timer for every IO, as opposed to only occasionally like we do for queued IO. Instead of deleting the timer when the last request is removed, just let continue running. If a new request comes up soon we then don't have to readd the timer again. If no new requests arrive, the timer will expire without side effect later. This improves high iops sync IO by ~1%. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: add comment in blk_rq_timed_out() about why next can not be 0Jens Axboe2008-12-291-1/+6

* block: optimizations in blk_rq_timed_out_timer()malahal@us.ibm.com2008-12-291-6/+4
| | | | | | | | | Now the rq->deadline can't be zero if the request is in the timeout_list, so there is no need to have next_set. There is no need to access a request's deadline field if blk_rq_timed_out is called on it. Signed-off-by: Malahal Naineni <malahal@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* Block: use round_jiffies_up()Alan Stern2008-11-061-17/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch (as1159b) changes the timeout routines in the block core to use round_jiffies_up(). There's no point in rounding the timer deadline down, since if it expires too early we will have to restart it. The patch also removes some unnecessary tests when a request is removed from the queue's timer list.

* block: use rq complete marking in blk_abort_request()Jens Axboe2008-10-091-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | We cannot abort a request if we raced with the timeout handler already, or with the IO completion. So make blk_abort_request() mark the request as complete, and only continue if we succeeded.

* block: add fault injection mechanism for faking request timeoutsJens Axboe2008-10-091-0/+59
| | | | | | | | Only works for the generic request timer handling. Allows one to sporadically ignore request completions, thus exercising the timeout handling. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* block: unify request timeout handlingJens Axboe2008-10-091-0/+155
Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling. Move those bits to the block layer. Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot less timer fiddling.
