    Btrfs: fix ioctl arg size (userland incompatible change!)
    Btrfs: Clear the device->running_pending flag before bailing on congestion

    Linus Torvalds
     
  • The structure used to send device in btrfs ioctl calls was not
    properly aligned, and so 32 bit ioctls would not work properly on
    64 bit kernels.

    We could fix this with compat ioctls, but we're just one byte away
    and it doesn't make sense at this stage to carry about the compat ioctls
    forever at this stage in the project.

    This patch brings the ioctl arg up to an evenly aligned 4k.

  • Btrfs maintains a queue of async bio submissions so the checksumming
    threads don't have to wait on get_request_wait. In order to avoid
    extra wakeups, this code has a running_pending flag that is used
    to tell new submissions they don't need to wake the thread.

    When the threads notice congestion on a single device, they
    may decide to requeue the job and move on to other devices. This
    makes sure the running_pending flag is cleared before the
    job is requeued.

    It should help avoid IO stalls by making sure the task is woken up
    when new submissions come in.
