Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
the proper type.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

kmalloc_node() and kmem_cache_alloc_node() were not available in a zeroing
variant in the past. But with __GFP_ZERO it is possible now to do zeroing
while allocating.Use __GFP_ZERO to remove the explicit clearing of memory via memset whereever
we can.Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter

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

This removes the rbtree handling from deadline.

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

They all duplicate macros to check for empty root and/or node, and
clearing a node. So put those in rbtree.h.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Use hlist instead of list_head for request hashtable in deadline-iosched

There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the
next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be
invoked with bad or NULL data.To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer.
Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be
run without the lock held. This isn't easily fixable, without also
changing the mempool API. So split the initialization into two parts,
and alloc-init operation and an attach operation. Then we can
preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach
inside the lock after we detach the old one.This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching
with a very busy io load.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

They were abusing the rb_color field to mark nodes which weren't currently
on the tree. Fix that to use the same method as eventpoll did -- setting
the parent pointer to point back to itself. And use the appropriate
accessor macros for setting and reading the parent.Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse

the patch below marks various read-only variables in block/* as const,
so that gcc can optimize the use of them; eg gcc will replace the use by
the value directly now and will even remove the memory usage of these.Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven
