ffc41cf8db nbd: prevent sock_xmit from attempting to use a NULL socket
NBD does not protect the nbd_device's socket from becoming NULL during
receives.

This closes a race with the NBD_CLEAR_SOCK ioctl (nbd-client -d) setting
the nbd_device's socket to NULL right before NBD calls sock_xmit.

2af3e6017e The ps2esdi driver was marked as BROKEN more than two years ago due to being
no longer working for some time.

A driver that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seems to be
unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future.

But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still present in
the older kernel releases.

25c0a7b832 [POWERPC] Fix viodasd driver with scatterlist debug
The iSeries viodasd drivers does some very strange things with
scatterlists, one of these causing a BUG_ON to trigger when
scatterlist debugging is enabled due to initializing the
scatterlist with memset instead of sg_init_table().

This fixes it by using sg_init_table().  The rest of the stuff
it does to that poor list is still pretty awful but it will work.

I may look into fixing things in a nicer way some other time.

68d95b585f cciss: remove READ_AHEAD define and use block layer defaults
This patch removes the #define READ_AHEAD 1024 from the driver and uses the
block layer defaults, instead. We have found that under certain workloads
the setting can cause a disk connected to the e200 controller to go offline.
If the disk hiccups the link may try to downshift but the controller is
never notified that the link successfully completed the renegotiation.
We've also found that performance using the block layer default of 32 pages
was on par with the 1024 setting. We tried setting it to zero at one time
based on info from our firmware guys but that killed performance. Turns out
we were talking about 2 different read ahead settings.
Please consider this for inclusion.

48f15b93b2 NBD: make nbd default to deadline I/O scheduler
NBD doesn't work well with CFQ (or AS) schedulers, so let's default to
something else.

The two problems I have experienced with nbd and cfq are:

1) nbd hangs with cfq on RHEL 5 (2.6.18) -- this may well have been
   fixed

   There's a similar debian bug that has been filed as well:

   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447638

   There have been posts to nbd-general mailing list about problems with
   cfq and nbd also.

2) nbd performs about 10% better (the last time I tested) with deadline
   vs.  cfq (the overhead of cfq doesn't provide much advantage to nbd [not
   being a real disk], and you end up going through the I/O scheduler on
   the nbd server anyway, so it makes sense that deadline is better with
   nbd)

7df620d852 aoe: add module parameter for users who need more outstanding I/O
An AoE target provides an estimate of the number of outstanding commands that
the AoE initiator can send before getting a response.  The aoe_maxout
parameter provides a way to set an even lower limit.  It will not allow a user
to use more outstanding commands than the target permits.  If a user discovers
a problem with a large setting, this parameter provides a way for us to work
with them to debug the problem.  We expect to improve the dynamic window
sizing algorithm and drop this parameter.  For the time being, it is a
debugging aid.

6b9699bbd2 aoe: only install new AoE device once
An aoe driver user who had about 70 AoE targets found that he was hitting a
BUG in sysfs_create_file because the aoe driver was trying to tell the kernel
about an AoE device more than once.  Each AoE device was reachable by several
local network interfaces, and multiple ATA device indentify responses were
returning from that single device.

This patch eliminates a race condition so that aoe always informs the block
layer of a new AoE device once in the presence of multiple incoming ATA device
identify responses.

9bb237b6a6 aoe: dynamically allocate a capped number of skbs when necessary
What this Patch Does

  Even before this recent series of 12 patches to 2.6.22-rc4, the aoe
  driver was reusing a small set of skbs that were allocated once and
  were only used for outbound AoE commands.

  The network layer cannot be allowed to put_page on the data that is
  still associated with a bio we haven't returned to the block layer,
  so the aoe driver (even before the patch under discussion) is still
  the owner of skbs that have been handed to the network layer for
  transmission.  We need to keep track of these skbs so that we can
  free them, but by tracking them, we can also easily re-use them.

  The new patch was a response to the behavior of certain network
  drivers.  We cannot reuse an skb that the network driver still has
  in its transmit ring.  Network drivers can defer transmit ring
  cleanup and then use the state in the skb to determine how many data
  segments to clean up in its transmit ring.  The tg3 driver is one
  driver that behaves in this way.

  When the network driver defers cleanup of its transmit ring, the aoe
  driver can find itself in a situation where it would like to send an
  AoE command, and the AoE target is ready for more work, but the
  network driver still has all of the pre-allocated skbs.  In that
  case, the new patch just calls alloc_skb, as you'd expect.

  We don't want to get carried away, though.  We try not to do
  excessive allocation in the write path, so we cap the number of skbs
  we dynamically allocate.

  Probably calling it a "dynamic pool" is misleading.  We were already
  trying to use a small fixed-size set of pre-allocated skbs before
  this patch, and this patch just provides a little headroom (with a
  ceiling, though) to accomodate network drivers that hang onto skbs,
  by allocating when needed.  The d->skbpool_hd list of allocated skbs
  is necessary so that we can free them later.

  We didn't notice the need for this headroom until AoE targets got
  fast enough.

Alternatives

  If the network layer never did a put_page on the pages in the bio's
  we get from the block layer, then it would be possible for us to
  hand skbs to the network layer and forget about them, allowing the
  network layer to free skbs itself (and thereby calling our own
  skb->destructor callback function if we needed that).  In that case
  we could get rid of the pre-allocated skbs and also the
  d->skbpool_hd, instead just calling alloc_skb every time we wanted
  to transmit a packet.  The slab allocator would effectively maintain
  the list of skbs.

  Besides a loss of CPU cache locality, the main concern with that
  approach the danger that it would increase the likelihood of
  deadlock when VM is trying to free pages by writing dirty data from
  the page cache through the aoe driver out to persistent storage on
  an AoE device.  Right now we have a situation where we have
  pre-allocation that corresponds to how much we use, which seems
  ideal.

  Of course, there's still the separate issue of receiving the packets
  that tell us that a write has successfully completed on the AoE
  target.  When memory is low and VM is using AoE to flush dirty data
  to free up pages, it would be perfect if there were a way for us to
  register a fast callback that could recognize write command
  completion responses.  But I don't think the current problems with
  the receive side of the situation are a justification for
  exacerbating the problem on the transmit side.

262bf54144 aoe: user can ask driver to forget previously detected devices
When an AoE device is detected, the kernel is informed, and a new block device
is created.  If the device is unused, the block device corresponding to remote
device that is no longer available may be removed from the system by telling
the aoe driver to "flush" its list of devices.

Without this patch, software like GPFS and LVM may attempt to read from AoE
devices that were discovered earlier but are no longer present, blocking until
the I/O attempt times out.

68e0d42f39 aoe: handle multiple network paths to AoE device
A remote AoE device is something can process ATA commands and is identified by
an AoE shelf number and an AoE slot number.  Such a device might have more
than one network interface, and it might be reachable by more than one local
network interface.  This patch tracks the available network paths available to
each AoE device, allowing them to be used more efficiently.

Andrew Morton asked about the call to msleep_interruptible in the revalidate
function.  Yes, if a signal is pending, then msleep_interruptible will not
return 0.  That means we will not loop but will call aoenet_xmit with a NULL
skb, which is a noop.  If the system is too low on memory or the aoe driver is
too low on frames, then the user can hit control-C to interrupt the attempt to
do a revalidate.  I have added a comment to the code summarizing that.

Andrew Morton asked whether the allocation performed inside addtgt could use a
more relaxed allocation like GFP_KERNEL, but addtgt is called when the aoedev
lock has been locked with spin_lock_irqsave.  It would be nice to allocate the
memory under fewer restrictions, but targets are only added when the device is
being discovered, and if the target can't be added right now, we can try again
in a minute when then next AoE config query broadcast goes out.

Andrew Morton pointed out that the "too many targets" message could be printed
for failing GFP_ATOMIC allocations.  The last patch in this series makes the
messages more specific.

9db5579be4 rewrite rd
This is a rewrite of the ramdisk block device driver.

The old one is really difficult because it effectively implements a block
device which serves data out of its own buffer cache.  It relies on the dirty
bit being set, to pin its backing store in cache, however there are non
trivial paths which can clear the dirty bit (eg.  try_to_free_buffers()),
which had recently lead to data corruption.  And in general it is completely
wrong for a block device driver to do this.

The new one is more like a regular block device driver.  It has no idea about
vm/vfs stuff.  It's backing store is similar to the buffer cache (a simple
radix-tree of pages), but it doesn't know anything about page cache (the pages
in the radix tree are not pagecache pages).

There is one slight downside -- direct block device access and filesystem
metadata access goes through an extra copy and gets stored in RAM twice.
However, this downside is only slight, because the real buffercache of the
device is now reclaimable (because we're not playing crazy games with it), so
under memory intensive situations, footprint should effectively be the same --
maybe even a slight advantage to the new driver because it can also reclaim
buffer heads.

The fact that it now goes through all the regular vm/fs paths makes it
much more useful for testing, too.

   text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
   2837     849     384    4070     fe6 drivers/block/rd.o
   3528     371      12    3911     f47 drivers/block/brd.o

Text is larger, but data and bss are smaller, making total size smaller.

A few other nice things about it:
- Similar structure and layout to the new loop device handlinag.
- Dynamic ramdisk creation.
- Runtime flexible buffer head size (because it is no longer part of the
  ramdisk code).
- Boot / load time flexible ramdisk size, which could easily be extended
  to a per-ramdisk runtime changeable size (eg. with an ioctl).
- Can use highmem for the backing store.

    flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one
    directory. For compatibility /sys/block is created and contains symlinks
    to the disks.

introduced a global disk_type variable in <linux/genhd.h>, causing the
following compile error on Atari:

    drivers/block/ataflop.c:93: error: conflicting types for 'disk_type'
    include/linux/genhd.h:21: error: previous declaration of 'disk_type' was here

Rename the local disk_type variable in drivers/block/ataflop.c to
atari_disk_type, to avoid the conflict.

96c5865559 Allow auto-destruction of loop devices
This allows a flag to be set on loop devices so that when they are
closed for the last time, they'll self-destruct.

In general, so that we can automatically allocate loop devices (as with
losetup -f) and have them disappear when we're done with them.

In particular, right now, so that we can stop relying on the hackish
special-case in umount(8) which kills off loop devices which were set up by
'mount -oloop'.  That means we can stop putting crap in /etc/mtab which
doesn't belong there, which means it can be a symlink to /proc/mounts, which
means yet another writable file on the root filesystem is eliminated and the
'stateless' folks get happier...  and OLPC trac #356 can be closed.

The mount(8) side of that is at

d50ed907dc virtio_blk: implement naming for vda-vdz,vdaa-vdzz,vdaaa-vdzzz
Am Freitag, 1. Februar 2008 schrieb Christian Borntraeger:
> Right. I will fix that with an additional patch.

This patch goes on top of the minor number patch. Please let me know if
you want a merged patch:

Currently virtio_blk creates the disk name combinging "vd"  with 'a'++.
This will give strange names after vdz. I have implemented names up to
vdzzz - inspired by the sd.c code. That should be sufficient for now.

There is one driver in the kernel (driver/s390/block/dasd_genhd.c) that
implements names from dasda-dasdzzzz allowing even more disks. Maybe
a janitor can come up with a common implementation usable for all kind
of block device drivers.

I have tested this patch with 100 disks - seems to work.

4f3bf19c6e virtio_blk: Dont waste major numbers
Rusty,

currently virtio_blk uses one major number per device. While this works
quite well on most systems it is wasteful and will exhaust major numbers
on larger installations.

This patch allocates a major number on init and will use 16 minor numbers
for each disk. That will allow ~64k virtio_blk disks.

135da0b037 virtio_blk: provide getgeo
Rusty,

I currently try to make my guest boot from an virtio root device
without having an external kernel. Some of the tools that I tried
expect HDIO_GETGEO to work. The most interesting value is likely
the geo.start value to get the offset of a partition. This value
is filled by block/ioctl.c if fops->getgeo is set. This patch also
fills in some standard values for heads, sectors and cylinders.

Makes sense?

6e5aa7efb2 virtio: reset function
A reset function solves three problems:

1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
   guest driver without rebooting the guest.

2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
   we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and

3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.

So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
feature bits is via reset.

We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
remove function.

18445c4d50 virtio: explicit enable_cb/disable_cb rather than callback return.
It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before
calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so.

Rename "restart" to "cb_enable" and introduce "cb_disable" hook: callback
now returns void, rather than a boolean.

a586d4f601 virtio: simplify config mechanism.
Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill.  We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.

The main driver-visible changes:
1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.
