* [PATCH] pid: replace do/while_each_task_pid with do/while_each_pid_taskEric W. Biederman2007-02-121-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | There isn't any real advantage to this change except that it allows the old functions to be removed. Which is easier on maintenance and puts the code in a more uniform style.

* [PATCH] block layer: ioprio_best function fixVasily Tarasov2006-10-121-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently ioprio_best function first checks wethere aioprio or bioprio equals IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE (ioprio_valid() macros does that) and if it is so it returns bioprio/aioprio appropriately. Thus the next four lines, that set aclass/bclass to IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, if aclass/bclass == IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE, are never executed. The second problem: if aioprio from class IOPRIO_CLASS_NONE and bioprio from class IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE are passed to ioprio_best function, it will return IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE. It means that during __make_request we can merge two requests and set the priority of merged request to IDLE, while one of the initial requests originates from a process with NONE (default) priority. So we can get a situation when a process with default ioprio will experience IO starvation, while there is no process from real-time class in the system. Just removing ioprio_valid check should correct situation. Signed-off-by: Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

* [PATCH] cfq-iosched: kill cfq_exit_lockJens Axboe2006-09-301-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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] Fix current_io_context() vs set_task_ioprio() raceOleg Nesterov2006-08-211-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | 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] SELinux: Add security hook definition for getioprio and insert hooksDavid Quigley2006-06-301-5/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new security hook definition for the sys_ioprio_get operation. At present, the SELinux hook function implementation for this hook is identical to the getscheduler implementation but a separate hook is introduced to allow this check to be specialized in the future if necessary. This patch also creates a helper function get_task_ioprio which handles the access check in addition to retrieving the ioprio value for the task.

* [PATCH] lsm: add task_setioprio hookJames Morris2006-06-231-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement an LSM hook for setting a task's IO priority, similar to the hook for setting a tasks's nice value. A previous version of this LSM hook was included in an older version of multiadm by Jan Engelhardt, although I don't recall it being submitted upstream. Also included is the corresponding SELinux hook, which re-uses the setsched permission in the proccess class.

* [PATCH] Update cfq io scheduler to time sliced designJens Axboe2005-06-271-0/+172
This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq v3). It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes. It supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls. The latter closely mimic set/getpriority. This import is based on my latest from -mm. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
