* block: mark bio_split_pool staticDenis ChengRq2008-10-091-5/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Since all bio_split calls refer the same single bio_split_pool, the bio_split function can use bio_split_pool directly instead of the mempool_t parameter; then the mempool_t parameter can be removed from bio_split param list, and bio_split_pool is only referred in fs/bio.c file, can be marked static.

* block: add bio_kmalloc()Jens Axboe2008-10-091-21/+75
| | | | | | | | | | | Not all callers need (or want!) the mempool backing guarentee, it essentially means that you can only use bio_alloc() for short allocations and not for preallocating some bio's at setup or init time. So add bio_kmalloc() which does the same thing as bio_alloc(), except it just uses kmalloc() as the backing instead of the bio mempools. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: make blk_rq_map_user take a NULL user-space bufferFUJITA Tomonori2008-10-091-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes blk_rq_map_user to accept a NULL user-space buffer with a READ command if rq_map_data is not NULL. Thus a caller can pass page frames to lk_rq_map_user to just set up a request and bios with page frames propely. bio_uncopy_user (called via blk_rq_unmap_user) doesn't copy data to user space with such request.

* block: introduce struct rq_map_data to use reserved pagesFUJITA Tomonori2008-10-091-17/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces struct rq_map_data to enable bio_copy_use_iov() use reserved pages. Currently, bio_copy_user_iov allocates bounce pages but drivers/scsi/sg.c wants to allocate pages by itself and use them. struct rq_map_data can be used to pass allocated pages to bio_copy_user_iov. The current users of bio_copy_user_iov simply passes NULL (they don't want to use pre-allocated pages).

* block: add support for IO CPU affinityJens Axboe2008-10-091-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for controlling the IO completion CPU of either all requests on a queue, or on a per-request basis. We export a sysfs variable (rq_affinity) which, if set, migrates completions of requests to the CPU that originally submitted it. A bio helper (bio_set_completion_cpu()) is also added, so that queuers can ask for completion on that specific CPU. In testing, this has been show to cut the system time by as much as 20-40% on synthetic workloads where CPU affinity is desired. This requires a little help from the architecture, so it'll only work as designed for archs that are using the new generic smp helper infrastructure. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* Add bvec_merge_data to handle stacked devices and ->merge_bvec()Alasdair G Kergon2008-07-031-5/+21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When devices are stacked, one device's merge_bvec_fn may need to perform the mapping and then call one or more functions for its underlying devices. The following bio fields are used: bio->bi_sector bio->bi_bdev bio->bi_size bio->bi_rw using bio_data_dir() This patch creates a new struct bvec_merge_data holding a copy of those fields to avoid having to change them directly in the struct bio when going down the stack only to have to change them back again on the way back up. (And then when the bio gets mapped for real, the whole exercise gets repeated, but that's a problem for another day...)

* [PATCH] optimize o_direct on block devicesChen, Kenneth W2006-12-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement block device specific .direct_IO method instead of going through generic direct_io_worker for block device. direct_io_worker() is fairly complex because it needs to handle O_DIRECT on file system, where it needs to perform block allocation, hole detection, extents file on write, and tons of other corner cases. The end result is that it takes tons of CPU time to submit an I/O. For block device, the block allocation is much simpler and a tight triple loop can be written to iterate each iovec and each page within the iovec in order to construct/prepare bio structure and then subsequently submit it to the block layer. This significantly speeds up O_D on block device.

The major user, blk_bio_map_user checks for the len before mapping so it is not affected by this patch. And the semi-newly added user blk_rq_map_user_iov has been failing out when the len is not aligned properly so maybe people have been good and not sending misaligned lens or that path is not used very often and this change will not be very dangerous. st and sg do not check the length and we have not seen any problem reports from those wider used paths so this patch should be fairly safe - for mm and wider testing at least.

* | WorkStruct: Pass the work_struct pointer instead of context dataDavid Howells2006-11-221-3/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data. The work function can use container_of() to work out the data. For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit. To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution. Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch). However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the work_struct by calling work_release(). In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR). Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the very low memory systems is in the init_bio call scale parameter set to zero and it leads to creating zero sized mempool. This patch prevents pool_entries parameter become zero, so the created pool have at least 1 entry. Mempool with 0 entries lead to incorrect behaviour of mempool_free. (Alloc requests are not waken up and system stalls in mempool_alloc->ioschedule). Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
* [PATCH] Fix missing ret assignment in __bio_map_user() error pathJens Axboe2006-06-171-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | If get_user_pages() returns less pages than what we asked for, we jump to out_unmap which will return ERR_PTR(ret). But ret can contain a positive number just smaller than local_nr_pages, so be sure to set it to -EFAULT always.

* [PATCH] mempool: use mempool_create_slab_pool()Matthew Dobson2006-03-261-5/+2
| | | | | | | | | | Modify well over a dozen mempool users to call mempool_create_slab_pool() rather than calling mempool_create() with extra arguments, saving about 30 lines of code and increasing readability.

| | | | | | | | | | This patch changes several mempool users, all of which are basically just wrappers around kmalloc(), to use the common mempool_kmalloc/kfree, rather than their own wrapper function, removing a bunch of duplicated code.

* [PATCH] Use __read_mostly on some hot fs variablesEric Dumazet2006-03-261-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | I discovered on oprofile hunting on a SMP platform that dentry lookups were slowed down because d_hash_mask, d_hash_shift and dentry_hashtable were in a cache line that contained inodes_stat. So each time inodes_stats is changed by a cpu, other cpus have to refill their cache line. This patch moves some variables to the __read_mostly section, in order to avoid false sharing. RCU dentry lookups can go full speed. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
