* block: Stop abusing csd.list for fifo_timeJan Kara2014-02-241-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Block layer currently abuses rq->csd.list.next for storing fifo_time. That is a terrible hack and completely unnecessary as well. Union achieves the same space saving in a cleaner way.

* elevator: Fix a race in elevator switchingJianpeng Ma2013-07-031-3/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation. Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL ->elevator_data. For example: Thread A: Thread B blk_queu_bio elevator_switch spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block) elevator_alloc elv_merge elevator_init_fn Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the ->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened. Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the operations in a atomic operation. Using the follow method can easy reproduce this bug 1:dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null 2:while true;do echo noop > scheduler;echo deadline > scheduler;done The test method also use this method.

* elevator: make elevator_init_fn() return 0/-errnoTejun Heo2012-03-061-3/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | elevator_ops->elevator_init_fn() has a weird return value. It returns a void * which the caller should assign to q->elevator->elevator_data and %NULL return denotes init failure. Update such that it returns integer 0/-errno and sets elevator_data directly as necessary. This makes the interface more conventional and eases further cleanup.

* block, cfq: move icq cache management to block coreTejun Heo2011-12-141-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let elevators set ->icq_size and ->icq_align in elevator_type and elv_register() and elv_unregister() respectively create and destroy kmem_cache for icq. * elv_register() now can return failure. All callers updated. * icq caches are automatically named "ELVNAME_io_cq". * cfq_slab_setup/kill() are collapsed into cfq_init/exit(). * While at it, minor indentation change for iosched_cfq.elevator_name for consistency. This will help moving icq management to block core. This doesn't introduce any functional change. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
* iosched: prevent aliased requests from starving other I/OJeff Moyer2011-06-021-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hi, Jens, If you recall, I posted an RFC patch for this back in July of last year: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/13/279 The basic problem is that a process can issue a never-ending stream of async direct I/Os to the same sector on a device, thus starving out other I/O in the system (due to the way the alias handling works in both cfq and deadline). The solution I proposed back then was to start dispatching from the fifo after a certain number of aliases had been dispatched. Vivek asked why we had to treat aliases differently at all, and I never had a good answer. So, I put together a simple patch which allows aliases to be added to the rb tree (it adds them to the right, though that doesn't matter as the order isn't guaranteed anyway). I think this is the preferred solution, as it doesn't break up time slices in CFQ or batches in deadline. I've tested it, and it does solve the starvation issue. Let me know what you think.

* deadline-iosched: allow non-sequential batchingAaron Carroll2008-10-091-11/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | Deadline currently only batches sector-contiguous requests, so except for a few circumstances (e.g. requests in a single direction), it is essentially first come first served. This is bad for throughput, so change it to CSCAN, which means requests in a batch do not need to be sequential and are issued in increasing sector order.

* Deadline iosched: Fix batching fairnessAaron Carroll2007-11-021-14/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | After switching data directions, deadline always starts the next batch from the lowest-sector request.

* Deadline iosched: Reset batch for ordered requestsAaron Carroll2007-11-021-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The deadline I/O scheduler does not reset the batch count when starting a new batch at a higher-sectored request. This means the second and subsequent batch in the same data direction will never exceed a single request in size whenever higher-sectored requests are pending. This patch gives new batches in the same data direction as old ones their full quota of requests by resetting the batch count.

| | | | | | | | | | | Right now, every IO scheduler implements its own backmerging (except for noop, which does no merging). That results in duplicated code for essentially the same operation, which is never a good thing. This patch moves the backmerging out of the io schedulers and into the elevator core.

* | [PATCH] elevator switching raceJens Axboe2006-06-081-7/+6
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be invoked with bad or NULL data. To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer. Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be run without the lock held. This isn't easily fixable, without also changing the mempool API. So split the initialization into two parts, and alloc-init operation and an attach operation. Then we can preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach inside the lock after we detach the old one. This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching with a very busy io load. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
