  • Should add some comments for the tag barriers (they won't be so important
    if we can switch over to the explicit _lock bitops, but for now we should
    make it clear).

    Jens' original patch said a barrier after the test_and_clear_bit was also
    required. I can't see why (and it would prevent the use of the _lock bitop).

  • There's a race condition in blk_queue_end_tag() for shared tag maps,
    users include stex (promise supertrak thingy) and qla2xxx. The former
    at least has reported bugs in this area, not sure why we haven't seen
    any for the latter. It could be because the window is narrow and that
    other conditions in the qla2xxx code hide this. It's a real bug,
    though, as the stex smp users can attest.

    We need to ensure two things - the tag bit clearing needs to happen
    AFTER we cleared the tag pointer, as the tag bit clearing/setting is
    what protects this map. Secondly, we need to ensure that the visibility
    of the tag pointer and tag bit clear are ordered properly.

    [ I removed the SMP barriers - "test_and_clear_bit()" already implies
    all the required barriers. -- Linus ]

  • This patch provides more information concerning REMAP operations on block
    IOs. The additional information provides clearer details at the user level,
    and supports post-processing analysis in btt.

    o Adds in partition remaps on the same device.
    o Fixed up the remap information in DM to be in the right order
    o Sent up mapped-from and mapped-to device information

  • This updates sg_io_v4 structure (based on Doug's RFC, release 1.3).

    The major changes are:

    - add dout_resid field
    - increase tag size to 64 bits to comply with SAM-4 and SRP
    - add dout_iovec_count and din_iovec_count

    dout_iovec_count and din_iovec_count aren't supported now. I'm not
    sure whether they will be supported or not but they were added for the
    possible future changes.

  • BLK_DEV_BSG was added outside of the if BLOCK check, which allows it to
    be enabled when CONFIG_BLOCK=n. This leads to many screenlengths of
    errors, starting with a parse error on the request_queue_t definition.
    Obviously this wasn't intended for CONFIG_BLOCK=n usage, so just move the
    option back in to the block.

    Caught with a randconfig on sh.

  • scsi_sysfs_add_sdev ignores the bsg_register_queue failure, so

  • Currently, bsg doesn't make class backlinks (a process whereby you'd get
    a link to bsg in the device directory in the same way you get one for
    sg). This is because the bsg device is uninitialised, so the class
    device has nothing it can attach to. The fix is to make the bsg device
    point to the cdevice of the entity creating the bsg, necessitating
    changing the bsg_register_queue() prototype into a form that takes the
    generic device.

  • unfortunately, if IS_ERR(class_dev) is true, that means class_dev isn't
    null and the check in the error leg is pointless ... it's also asking
    for trouble to request unregistration of a device we haven't actually
    created (although it works currently). Fix by using explicit gotos and
    unregisters.

  • If we have two processes with different ioprio_class, but the same
    ioprio_data, their async requests will fall into the same queue. I guess
    such behavior is not expected, because it's not right to put real-time
    requests and best-effort requests in the same queue.

    The attached patch fixes the problem by introducing additional *cfqq
    fields on cfqd, pointing to per-(class,priority) async queues.

  • Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
    c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
    BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
    either.

    This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
    completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
    about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
    or the documentation references).

  • This patch moves the bsg registration into SCSI so that bsg no longer
    has a dependency on the scsi_interface_register API.

    This can be viewed as a temporary expedient until we can get universal
    bsg binding sorted out properly. Also use the sdev bus_id as the
    generic bsg name (to avoid clashes with the queue name).
