* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: improve queue preemptionJens Axboe2006-09-301-6/+8
| | | | | | | Don't touch the current queues, just make sure that the wanted queue is selected next. Simplifies the logic. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] Add blk_start_queueing() helperJens Axboe2006-09-303-25/+25
| | | | | | | | | | CFQ implements this on its own now, but it's really block layer knowledge. Tells a device queue to start dispatching requests to the driver, taking care to unplug if needed. Also fixes the issue where as/cfq will invoke a stopped queue, which we really don't want. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: kill the empty_listJens Axboe2006-09-301-8/+2
| | | | | | | No point in having a place holder list just for empty queues, so remove it. It's not used for anything other than to keep ->cfq_list busy. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: Kill O(N) runtime of cfq_resort_rr_list()Jens Axboe2006-09-301-31/+22
| | | | | | | | | Currently it scales with number of processes in that priority group, which is potentially not very nice as it's called quite often. Basically we always need to do tail inserts, except for the case of a new process. So just mark/detect a queue as such. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] Make sure all block/io scheduler setups are node awareJens Axboe2006-09-305-22/+25

* [PATCH] Audit block layer inlinesJens Axboe2006-09-302-5/+5
| | | | | | | Kill a few inlines that bring in too much code to more than one location Shrinks kernel text by about 300 bytes on 32-bit x86. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: use new io context counting mechanismJens Axboe2006-09-301-5/+7
| | | | | | | | It's ok if the read path is a lot more costly, as long as inc/dec is really cheap. The inc/dec will happen for each created/freed io context, while the reading only happens when a disk queue exits. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: kill cfq_exit_lockJens Axboe2006-09-302-38/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cfq_exit_lock is protecting two things now: - The per-ioc rbtree of cfq_io_contexts - The per-cfqd linked list of cfq_io_contexts The per-cfqd linked list can be protected by the queue lock, as it is (by definition) per cfqd as the queue lock is. The per-ioc rbtree is mainly used and updated by the process itself only. The only outside use is the io priority changing. If we move the priority changing to not browsing the rbtree, we can remove any locking from the rbtree updates and lookup completely. Let the sys_ioprio syscall just mark processes as having the iopriority changed and lazily update the private cfq io contexts the next time io is queued, and we can remove this locking as well.

* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: cleanups, fixes, dead code removalJens Axboe2006-09-301-114/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A collection of little fixes and cleanups: - We don't use the 'queued' sysfs exported attribute, since the may_queue() logic was rewritten. So kill it. - Remove dead defines. - cfq_set_active_queue() can be rewritten cleaner with else if conditions. - Several places had cfq_exit_cfqq() like logic, abstract that out and use that. - Annotate the cfqq kmem_cache_alloc() so the allocator knows that this is a repeat allocation if it fails with __GFP_WAIT set. Allows the allocator to start freeing some memory, if needed. CFQ already loops for this condition, so might as well pass the hint down. - Remove cfqd->rq_starved logic. It's not needed anymore after we dropped the crq allocation in cfq_set_request(). - Remove uneeded parameter passing. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] ll_rw_blk: cleanup __make_request()Jens Axboe2006-09-301-15/+7
| | | | | | | | - Don't assign variables that are only used once. - Kill spin_lock() prefetching, it's opportunistic at best. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

* [PATCH] Remove ->rq_status from struct requestJens Axboe2006-09-301-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | After Christophs SCSI change, the only usage left is RQ_ACTIVE and RQ_INACTIVE. The block layer sets RQ_INACTIVE right before freeing the request, so any check for RQ_INACTIVE in a driver is a bug and indicates use-after-free. So kill/clean the remaining users, straight forward. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] Remove struct request_list from struct requestJens Axboe2006-09-301-8/+2
| | | | | | | | It is always identical to &q->rq, and we only use it for detecting whether this request came out of our mempool or not. So replace it with an additional ->flags bit flag. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] Remove ->waiting member from struct requestJens Axboe2006-09-302-9/+7
| | | | | | | | As the comments indicates in blkdev.h, we can fold it into ->end_io_data usage as that is really what ->waiting is. Fixup the users of blk_end_sync_rq(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
* [PATCH] as-iosched: kill arqJens Axboe2006-09-301-195/+118

* [PATCH] deadline-iosched: remove elevator private drq request typeJens Axboe2006-09-301-142/+52
| | | | | | | | A big win, we now save an allocation/free on each request! With the previous rb/hash abstractions, we can just reuse queuelist/donelist for the FIFO data and be done with it. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

* [PATCH] elevator: abstract out the rbtree sort handlingJens Axboe2006-09-302-17/+113
| | | | | | | | | | | | The rbtree sort/lookup/reposition logic is mostly duplicated in cfq/deadline/as, so move it to the elevator core. The io schedulers still provide the actual rb root, as we don't want to impose any sort of specific handling on the schedulers. Introduce the helpers and rb_node in struct request to help migrate the IO schedulers. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] rbtree: fixed reversed RB_EMPTY_NODE and rb_next/prevJens Axboe2006-09-301-2/+2

* [PATCH] elevator: move the backmerging logic into the elevator coreJens Axboe2006-09-305-360/+142
| | | | | | | | | | | 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. We save 1.6kb of text and as a bonus get backmerging for noop as well. Win-win! Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] Split struct request ->flags into two partsJens Axboe2006-09-304-83/+52
| | | | | | | | | | Right now ->flags is a bit of a mess: some are request types, and others are just modifiers. Clean this up by splitting it into ->cmd_type and ->cmd_flags. This allows introduction of generic Linux block message types, useful for sending generic Linux commands to block devices. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

* [PATCH] inode_diet: Replace inode.u.generic_ip with inode.i_privateTheodore Ts'o2006-09-271-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The following patches reduce the size of the VFS inode structure by 28 bytes on a UP x86. (It would be more on an x86_64 system). This is a 10% reduction in the inode size on a UP kernel that is configured in a production mode (i.e., with no spinlock or other debugging functions enabled; if you want to save memory taken up by in-core inodes, the first thing you should do is disable the debugging options; they are responsible for a huge amount of bloat in the VFS inode structure). This patch: The filesystem or device-specific pointer in the inode is inside a union, which is pretty pointless given that all 30+ users of this field have been using the void pointer. Get rid of the union and rename it to i_private, with a comment to explain who is allowed to use the void pointer. This is just a cleanup, but it allows us to reuse the union 'u' for something something where the union will actually be used.

| | | | | | | | | | | I know nothing about io scheduler, but I suspect set_task_ioprio() is not safe. current_io_context() initializes "struct io_context", then sets ->io_context. set_task_ioprio() running on another cpu may see the changes out of order, so ->set_ioprio(ioc) may use io_context which was not initialized properly.

* | [PATCH] Light weight event countersChristoph Lameter2006-06-301-2/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The remaining counters in page_state after the zoned VM counter patches have been applied are all just for show in /proc/vmstat. They have no essential function for the VM. We use a simple increment of per cpu variables. In order to avoid the most severe races we disable preempt. Preempt does not prevent the race between an increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics counter. However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one increment or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that the vm event counters have to be accurate. In the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each counter. For many architectures this will be reduced by the compiler to a single instruction. This single instruction is atomic for i386 and x86_64. And therefore even the rare race condition in an interrupt is avoided for both architectures in most cases. The patchset also adds an off switch for embedded systems that allows a building of linux kernels without these counters. The implementation of these counters is through inline code that hopefully results in only a single instruction increment instruction being emitted (i386, x86_64) or in the increment being hidden though instruction concurrency (EPIC architectures such as ia64 can get that done). Benefits: - VM event counter operations usually reduce to a single inline instruction on i386 and x86_64. - No interrupt disable, only preempt disable for the preempt case. Preempt disable can also be avoided by moving the counter into a spinlock. - Handling is similar to zoned VM counters. - Simple and easily extendable. - Can be omitted to reduce memory use for embedded use.
