* [PATCH] block/elevator.c: remove unused exportsAdrian Bunk2006-04-201-2/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch removes the following unused EXPORT_SYMBOL's: - elv_requeue_request - elv_completed_request They are only used by the block core, hence they need not be exported. Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <bunk@stusta.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] Don't pass boot parameters to argv_init[]OGAWA Hirofumi2006-03-311-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and parse_args(,unknown_bootoption). And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup(). start_kernel() -> parse_args() -> unknown_bootoption() -> obsolete_checksetup() If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was handled. If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other ->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0, a parameter is seted to argv_init[]. Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app. If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit. This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

* [PATCH] block: implement elv_insert and use it (fix ordcolor flipping bug)Tejun Heo2006-02-081-32/+38
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | q->ordcolor must only be flipped on initial queueing of a hardbarrier request. Constructing ordered sequence and requeueing used to pass through __elv_add_request() which flips q->ordcolor when it sees a barrier request. This patch separates out elv_insert() from __elv_add_request() and uses elv_insert() when constructing ordered sequence and requeueing. elv_insert() inserts the given request at the specified position and does nothing else.

* [BLOCK] elevator: allow default scheduler to potentially be modularNate Diller2006-01-241-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jens has decided that allowing the default scheduler to be a module is a bug, and should not be allowed under kconfig. However, I find that scenario useful for debugging, and wish for the kernel to be able to handle this situation without OOPSing, if I enable such an option in the .config directly. This patch dynamically checks for the presence of the compiled-in default, and falls back to no-op, emitting a suitable error message, when the default is not available Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2.

* [BLOCK] elevator: default choice selectionNate Diller2006-01-241-31/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My previous default iosched patch did a poor job dealing with the 'elevator=' boot-time option. The old behavior falls back to the compiled-in default if the requested one is not registered at boot time. This patch dynamically evaluates which default to use, and emits a suitable error message when the requested scheduler is not available. It also does the 'as' -> 'anticipatory' conversion before elevator registration, which along with a modified registration function, allows it to correctly indicate which default scheduler is in use. Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2. Signed-off-by: Nate Diller <nate.diller@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

* [PATCH] fix queue stalling while barrier sequencingTejun Heo2006-01-121-10/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If ordered tag isn't supported, request ordering for barrier sequencing is performed by queue draining, which basically hangs the request queue until elv_completed_request() reports completion of all previous fs requests. The condition check in elv_completed_request() was only performed for fs requests. If a special request is queued between the last to-be-drained request and the barrier sequence, draining is never completed and the queue is stalled forever. This patch moves the end-of-draining condition check such that it's performed for all requests.

* [BLOCK] add @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn()Tejun Heo2006-01-061-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | add @uptodate argument to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn(). there's no generic way to pass error code to request completion function, making generic error handling of non-fs request difficult (rq->errors is driver-specific and each driver uses it differently). this patch adds @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn(). for fs requests, this doesn't really matter, so just using the same uptodate argument used in the last call to end_that_request_first() should suffice. imho, this can also help the generic command-carrying request jens is working on.

* [BLOCK] elevator: elv_latter/former_request updateTejun Heo2005-11-121-14/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | With generic dispatch queue update, implicit former/latter request handling using rq->queuelist.prev/next doesn't work as expected anymore. Also, the only iosched dependent on this feature was noop-iosched and it has been reimplemented to have its own latter/former methods. This patch removes implicit former/latter handling.

| | | | | | | | | elv_iosched_store doesn't terminate string passed from userspace if it's too long. Also, if the written length is zero (probably not possible), it accesses elevator_name[-1].

* [BLOCK] Implement elv_drain_elevator for improved switch error detectionTejun Heo2005-11-121-5/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which performs forced dispatching. elv_drain_elevator checks whether iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error message if it doesn't. As buggy forced dispatching can result in wrong barrier operations, I think this extra check is worthwhile. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

* [BLOCK] elevator init fixesZachary Amsden2005-11-121-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I got a panic in the elevator code, backtrace : Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000060 .. EIP is at elevator_put+0x0/0x30 (null elevator_type passed) .. elevator_init+0x38 blk_init_queu_node+0xc9 floppy_init+0xdb do_initcalls+0x23 init+0x10a init+0x0 Clearly if the kmalloc here fails, e->elevator_type is not yet set; this appears to be the correct fix, but I think I probably hit the second case due to a race condition. Someone more familiar with the elevator code should look at this more closely until I can determine if I can reproduce.
