4b2f0260c7 [PATCH] nbd: fix TX/RX race condition
Janos Haar of First NetCenter Bt.  reported numerous crashes involving the
NBD driver.  With his help, this was tracked down to bogus bio vectors
which in turn was the result of a race condition between the
receive/transmit routines in the NBD driver.

The bug manifests itself like this:

CPU0				CPU1
do_nbd_request
	add req to queuelist
	nbd_send_request
		send req head
		for each bio
			kmap
			send
				nbd_read_stat
					nbd_find_request
					nbd_end_request
			kunmap

When CPU1 finishes nbd_end_request, the request and all its associated
bio's are freed.  So when CPU0 calls kunmap whose argument is derived from
the last bio, it may crash.

Under normal circumstances, the race occurs only on the last bio.  However,
if an error is encountered on the remote NBD server (such as an incorrect
magic number in the request), or if there were a bug in the server, it is
possible for the nbd_end_request to occur any time after the request's
addition to the queuelist.

The following patch fixes this problem by making sure that requests are not
added to the queuelist until after they have been completed transmission.

In order for the receiving side to be ready for responses involving
requests still being transmitted, the patch introduces the concept of the
active request.

When a response matches the current active request, its processing is
delayed until after the tranmission has come to a stop.

This has been tested by Janos and it has been successful in curing this
race condition.

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

  Here is an updated patch which removes the active_req wait in
  nbd_clear_queue and the associated memory barrier.

  I've also clarified this in the comment.

8ffdc6550c [BLOCK] add @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn()
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.

994fc28c7b [PATCH] add AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, prepend AOP_ to WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE
readpage(), prepare_write(), and commit_write() callers are updated to
understand the special return code AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE in the style of
writepage() and WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE.  AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE tells the caller that
the callee has unlocked the page and that the operation should be tried again
with a new page.  OCFS2 uses this to detect and work around a lock inversion in
its aop methods.  There should be no change in behaviour for methods that don't
return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE.

WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE is also prepended with AOP_ for consistency and they are
made enums so that kerneldoc can be used to document their semantics.

touched.  In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

88baf3e85a [PATCH] fix floppy.c to store correct ro/rw status in underlying gendisk
Evgeny Stambulchik found that doing the following always worked:

# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/
mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
# mount -o remount,rw /mnt/floppy
# echo $?
0

This is the case because the block device /dev/fd0 is writeable but the
floppy disk is marked protected.  A fix is to simply have floppy_open mark
the underlying gendisk policy according to reality (since the VFS doesn't
provide a way for do_remount_sb to inquire as to the current device
status).

f5b3db0017 [PATCH] as: cooperating processes
Introduce the notion of cooperating processes (those that submit requests
close to one another), and use these statistics to make better choices about
whether or not to do anticipatory waiting.

Help and analysis from Seetharami Seelam <seelam@cs.utep.edu>

Performance testing from Seelam:

I set up my system and executed a couple of tests that I used for OLS.  I
tested with AS, cooperative process patch merged in -mm tree (which I called
Nick, below) and the cooperative patch with modifications to as_update_iohist
(which I called Seelam).

I used a dual-processor (2.28GHz Pentium 4 Xeon) system, with 1 GB main memory
and 1 MB L2 cache, running Linux 2.6.9.  Only a single processor is used for
the experiments.  I used 7.2K RPM Maxtor 10GB drive configured with ext2 file
system.

Experiment 1 (ex1) consists of reading  one Linux source trees using

  find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null.

Experiment 2 (ex2) consists of reading two disjoint Linux source trees
using

  find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null.

Experiment 3 (ex3) consists of streaming read of a 2GB file in the background
and 1 instance of the chunk reads in Experiment 1.

Timings for reading the Linux source are shown below:

             AS                     Nick          Seelam
ex1:      0m25.813s               0m27.859s      0m27.640s
ex2:      1m11.468s               1m13.918s      1m5.869s
ex3:      81m44.352s             10m38.572s      6m47.994s

The difference between the numbers in Experiment 3 must be due to the code in
as_update_iohist.  (akpm: that's not part of this patch.  So this patch is
"Nick").

ca23509fba [PATCH] blk: fix dangling pointer access in __elv_add_request
cfq's add_req_fn callback may invoke q->request_fn directly and
depending on low-level driver used and timing, a queued request may be
finished & deallocated before add_req_fn callback returns.  So,
__elv_add_request must not access rq after it's passed to add_req_fn
callback.

This patch moves rq_mergeable test above add_req_fn().  This may
result in q->last_merge pointing to REQ_NOMERGE request if add_req_fn
callback sets it but as RQ_NOMERGE is checked again when blk layer
actually tries to merge requests, this does not cause any problem.

581c1b1439 [PATCH] noop-iosched: avoid corrupted request merging
Tejun Heo notes:

   "I'm currently debugging this.  The problem is that we are using the
    generic dispatch queue directly in the noop sched and merging is NOT
    allowed on dispatch queues but generic handling of last_merge tries
    to merge requests.  I'm still trying to verify this, so I'll be back
    with results soon."

In the meantime, disable merging for noop by setting REQ_NOMERGE in
elevator_noop_add_request().

Eventually, we should add a noop_list and do the dispatching like in the
other io schedulers.  Merging is still beneficial for noop (and it has
always done it).

4e57b68178 [PATCH] fix missing includes
I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.

In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch.  This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other.  So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it.  My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

2ca7d93bb2 [PATCH] block cleanups: Fix iosched module refcount leak
If the requested I/O scheduler is already in place, elevator_switch simply
leaves the queue alone, and returns.  However, it forgets to call
elevator_put, so

'echo [current_sched] > /sys/block/[dev]/queue/scheduler'

will leak a reference, causing the current_sched module to be permanently
pinned in memory.

83521d3eb8 [PATCH] cfq-iosched: move tasklist walk to elevator.c
We're trying to get rid of as much as possible tasklist walks, or at
least moving them to core code.  This patch falls into the second
category.

Instead of walking the tasklist in cfq-iosched move that into
elv_unregister.  The added benefit is that with this change the as
ioscheduler might be might unloadable more easily aswell.

The new code uses read_lock instead of read_lock_irq because the
tasklist_lock only needs irq disabling for writers.

47e627ce83 [PATCH] blk: fix merge bug in as-iosched
as-iosched deals with aliased requests differently from other ioscheds.

It links together aliased requests using rq->queuelist instead of
spilling alises to dispatch queue like other ioscheds do.  Requests
linked in this way cannot be merged.

Unfortunately, generic q->last_merge handling patch didn't take this
into account and q->last_merge could be set to an aliased request
resulting in Badness, corrupt list and eventually panic.

This explicitly marks aliased requests to be unmergeable.

cb98fc8bb9 [BLOCK] Reimplement elevator switch
This patch reimplements elevator switch.  This patch assumes generic
dispatch queue patchset is applied.

 * Each request is tagged with REQ_ELVPRIV flag if it has its elevator
   private data set.
 * Requests which doesn't have REQ_ELVPRIV flag set never enter
   iosched.  They are always directly back inserted to dispatch queue.
   Of course, elevator_put_req_fn is called only for requests which
   have its REQ_ELVPRIV set.
 * Request queue maintains the current number of requests which have
   its elevator data set (elevator_set_req_fn called) in
   q->rq->elvpriv.
 * If a request queue has QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set, elevator private data
   is not allocated for new requests.

 To switch to another iosched, we set QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS and wait until
elvpriv goes to zero; then, we attach the new iosched and clears
QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS.  New implementation is much simpler and main code
paths are less cluttered, IMHO.

b4878f245e [PATCH] 02/05: update ioscheds to use generic dispatch queue
This patch updates all four ioscheds to use generic dispatch
queue.  There's one behavior change in as-iosched.

* In as-iosched, when force dispatching
  (ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK), batch_data_dir is reset to REQ_SYNC
  and changed_batch and new_batch are cleared to zero.  This
  prevernts AS from doing incorrect update_write_batch after
  the forced dispatched requests are finished.

* In cfq-iosched, cfqd->rq_in_driver currently counts the
  number of activated (removed) requests to determine
  whether queue-kicking is needed and cfq_max_depth has been
  reached.  With generic dispatch queue, I think counting
  the number of dispatched requests would be more appropriate.

* cfq_max_depth can be lowered to 1 again.

bb2a37bf41 [PATCH] cciss: fix for DMA brokeness
The CCISS driver seems to loose track of DMA mappings created by it's
fill_cmd() routine.  Neither callers of this routine are extracting the DMA
address created in order to do the unmap.

Instead, they simply try to unmap 0x0.  It's easy to see this problem on an
x86_64 system when using the "swiotlb=force" boot option.  In this case, the
driver is leaking resources of the swiotlb and not causing a sync of the
