cfq-iosched: fix the setting of IOPS mode on SSDs

2015-06-10T14:01:20Z

A previous commit wanted to make CFQ default to IOPS mode on non-rotational storage, however it did so when the queue was initialized and the non-rotational flag is only set later on in the probe. Add an elevator hook that gets called off the add_disk() path, at that point we know that feature probing has finished, and we can reliably check for the various flags that drivers can set.

Revert "block: add __init to elv_register"

2014-06-22T22:34:11Z

This reverts commit b5097e956a4d2919ee248d6481e4204c5568ed5c. The original commit is buggy, we do use the registration functions at runtime, for instance when loading IO schedulers through sysfs. Reported-by: Damien Wyart

block: Remove useless IPI struct initialization

2014-02-24T22:46:38Z

rq_fifo_clear() reset the csd.list through INIT_LIST_HEAD for no clear purpose. The csd.list doesn't need to be initialized as a list head because it's only ever used as a list node. Lets remove this useless initialization.

block: Stop abusing csd.list for fifo_time

2014-02-24T22:46:32Z

Block layer currently abuses rq->csd.list.next for storing fifo_time. That is a terrible hack and completely unnecessary as well. Union achieves the same space saving in a cleaner way.

elevator: Fix a race in elevator switching

2013-07-03T11:25:24Z

There's a race between elevator switching and normal io operation. Because the allocation of struct elevator_queue and struct elevator_data don't in a atomic operation.So there are have chance to use NULL ->elevator_data. For example: Thread A: Thread B blk_queu_bio elevator_switch spin_lock_irq(q->queue_block) elevator_alloc elv_merge elevator_init_fn Because call elevator_alloc, it can't hold queue_lock and the ->elevator_data is NULL.So at the same time, threadA call elv_merge and nedd some info of elevator_data.So the crash happened. Move the elevator_alloc into func elevator_init_fn, it make the operations in a atomic operation. Using the follow method can easy reproduce this bug 1:dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/null 2:while true;do echo noop > scheduler;echo deadline > scheduler;done The test method also use this method.

Merge branch 'for-3.9/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2013-02-28T20:52:24Z

Pull block IO core bits from Jens Axboe: "Below are the core block IO bits for 3.9. It was delayed a few days since my workstation kept crashing every 2-8h after pulling it into current -git, but turns out it is a bug in the new pstate code (divide by zero, will report separately). In any case, it contains: - The big cfq/blkcg update from Tejun and and Vivek. - Additional block and writeback tracepoints from Tejun. - Improvement of the should sort (based on queues) logic in the plug flushing. - _io() variants of the wait_for_completion() interface, using io_schedule() instead of schedule() to contribute to io wait properly. - Various little fixes. You'll get two trivial merge conflicts, which should be easy enough to fix up" Fix up the trivial conflicts due to hlist traversal cleanups (commit b67bfe0d42ca: "hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators"). * 'for-3.9/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (39 commits) block: remove redundant check to bd_openers() block: use i_size_write() in bd_set_size() cfq: fix lock imbalance with failed allocations drivers/block/swim3.c: fix null pointer dereference block: don't select PERCPU_RWSEM block: account iowait time when waiting for completion of IO request sched: add wait_for_completion_io[_timeout] writeback: add more tracepoints block: add block_{touch|dirty}_buffer tracepoint buffer: make touch_buffer() an exported function block: add @req to bio_{front|back}_merge tracepoints block: add missing block_bio_complete() tracepoint block: Remove should_sort judgement when flush blk_plug block,elevator: use new hashtable implementation cfq-iosched: add hierarchical cfq_group statistics cfq-iosched: collect stats from dead cfqgs cfq-iosched: separate out cfqg_stats_reset() from cfq_pd_reset_stats() blkcg: make blkcg_print_blkgs() grab q locks instead of blkcg lock block: RCU free request_queue blkcg: implement blkg_[rw]stat_recursive_sum() and blkg_[rw]stat_merge() ...

init, block: try to load default elevator module early during boot

2013-01-18T22:05:56Z

This patch adds default module loading and uses it to load the default block elevator. During boot, it's called right after initramfs or initrd is made available and right before control is passed to userland. This ensures that as long as the modules are available in the usual places in initramfs, initrd or the root filesystem, the default modules are loaded as soon as possible. This will replace the on-demand elevator module loading from elevator init path. v2: Fixed build breakage when !CONFIG_BLOCK. Reported by kbuild test robot.

block,elevator: use new hashtable implementation

2013-01-11T13:43:13Z

Switch elevator to use the new hashtable implementation. This reduces the amount of generic unrelated code in the elevator. This also removes the dymanic allocation of the hash table. The size of the table is constant so there's no point in paying the price of an extra dereference when accessing it. This patch depends on d9b482c ("hashtable: introduce a small and naive hashtable") which was merged in v3.6. Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
