1872bcebbc [PATCH] ub: fix for blank CDs
This patch fixes a microcode lockup in my CD-ROM adapters when a blank CD
is inserted.  However, do not try to burn CDs yet!  I'm pretty sure that
trying it will end in coasters.

 - Fix a few cases where we were unable to resynchronize with replies
   for previous commands. The main thing is to keep reading replies
   in case of a stall. This is done with the new state CLRRS.
 - Since I am forgetting the basic state machine already, document it.
 - Move counter increments in the looping path in its own function.
 - Fix a harmless buglet in case CSW read fails to submit: do not
   override state.
 - Implement the Alan Stern's idea for adaptive signature checking.

fb3cc4320e [PATCH] blk: light iocontext ops
get_io_context needlessly turned off interrupts and checked for racing io
context creations.  Both of which aren't needed, because the io context can
only be created while in process context of the current process.

Also, split the function in 2.  A light version, current_io_context does not
elevate the reference count specifically, but can be used when in process
context, because the process holds a reference itself.

450991bc10 [PATCH] blk: __make_request efficiency
In the case where the request is not able to be merged by the elevator, don't
retake the lock and retry the merge mechanism after allocating a new request.

Instead assume that the chance of a merge remains slim, and now that we've
done most of the work allocating a request we may as well just go with it.

Also be rid of the GFP_ATOMIC allocation: we've got working mempools for the
block layer now, so let's save atomic memory for things like networking.

Lastly, in get_request_wait, do an initial get_request call before going into
the waitqueue.  This is reported to help efficiency.

082cf69eb8 [PATCH] ll_rw_blk: prevent huge request allocations
Currently we cap request allocations at q->nr_requests, but we allow a
batching io context to allocate up to 32 more (default setting).  This
can flood the queue with request allocations, with only a few batching
processes.  The real fix would be to limit the number of batchers, but
as that isn't currently tracked, I suggest we just cap the maximum
number of allocated requests to eg 50% over the limit.

This was observed in real life, users typically see this as vmstat bo
numbers going off the wall with seconds of no queueing afterwards.
Behaviour this bursty is not beneficial.

This patch fulfills a promise I made to Christoph sometime back.  I am
removing the partition info from the CCISS_GETLUNINFO ioctl as I was informed

The application folks are to use /proc or /sys for partition info from now on.
 I am only aware of a few apps that use this ioctl and I'm not sure they ever
used the partition info.

96c51ce94e [PATCH] CFQ io scheduler: scheduler switch oops
If cfq is managing a queue and a new scheduler is later selected, it is
possible for the cfqd unplug_work work to be queued after the kblockd
work struct has been flushed.  The problem is the ordering of
cfq_shutdown_timer_wq() and blk_put_queue() in cfq_put_cfqd().  The
latter may rearm the work, leaving cfq_kick_queue() with dead data.

3b18152c32 [PATCH] CFQ io scheduler updates
- Adjust slice values

- Instead of one async queue, one is defined per priority level. This
  prevents kernel threads (such as reiserfs/x and others) that run at
  higher io priority from conflicting with others. Previously, it was a
  coin toss what io prio the async queue got, it was defined by who
  first set up the queue.

- Let a time slice only begin, when the previous slice is completely
  done. Previously we could be somewhat unfair to a new sync slice, if
  the previous slice was async and had several ios queued. This might
  need a little tweaking if throughput suffers a little due to this,
  allowing perhaps an overlap of a single request or so.

- Optimize the calling of kblockd_schedule_work() by doing it only when
  it is strictly necessary (no requests in driver and work left to do).

- Correct sync vs async logic. A 'normal' process can be purely async as
  well, and a flusher can be purely sync as well. Sync or async is now a
  property of the class defined and requests pending. Previously writers
  could be considered sync, when they were really async.

- Get rid of the bit fields in cfqq and crq, use flags instead.

- Various other cleanups and fixes

3d25f3566b [PATCH] Fix cfq_find_next_crq()
In cfq_find_next_crq(), cfq tries to find the next request by choosing
one of two requests before and after the current one.  Currently, when
choosing the next request, if there's no next request, the next
candidate is NULL, resulting in selection of the previous request.  This
results in weird scheduling.  Once we reach the end, we always seek
backward.

The correct behavior is using the first request as the next candidate.
cfq_choose_req() already has logics for handling wrapped requests.

22e2c507c3 [PATCH] Update cfq io scheduler to time sliced design
This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3).  It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes.  It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls.  The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.

This import is based on my latest from -mm.

3e1d1d28d9 [PATCH] Cleanup patch for process freezing
1. Establish a simple API for process freezing defined in linux/include/sched.h:

   frozen(process)		Check for frozen process
   freezing(process)		Check if a process is being frozen
   freeze(process)		Tell a process to freeze (go to refrigerator)
   thaw_process(process)	Restart process
   frozen_process(process)	Process is frozen now

2. Remove all references to PF_FREEZE and PF_FROZEN from all
   kernel sources except sched.h

3. Fix numerous locations where try_to_freeze is manually done by a driver

4. Remove the argument that is no longer necessary from two function calls.

5. Some whitespace cleanup

6. Clear potential race in refrigerator (provides an open window of PF_FREEZE
   cleared before setting PF_FROZEN, recalc_sigpending does not check
   PF_FROZEN).

This patch does not address the problem of freeze_processes() violating the rule
that a task may only modify its own flags by setting PF_FREEZE. This is not clean
in an SMP environment. freeze(process) is therefore not SMP safe!

bb93e3a52f [PATCH] block: add unlocked_ioctl support for block devices
This patch allows block device drivers to convert their ioctl functions to
unlocked_ioctl() like character devices and other subsystems.  All
functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that
way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl
functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves.

As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as
well, which looks like a bug.  I have checked that every user of
disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so
it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().

35a82d1a53 [PATCH] optimise loop driver a bit
Looks like locking can be optimised quite a lot.  Increase lock widths
slightly so lo_lock is taken fewer times per request.  Also it was quite
trivial to cover lo_pending with that lock, and remove the atomic

nice (not that I particularly saw any mem ordering bugs).

Test was reading 4 250MB files in parallel on ext2-on-tmpfs filesystem (1K
block size, 4K page size).  System is 2 socket Xeon with HT (4 thread).

This memory barrier is not needed because the waitqueue will only get waiters
on it in the following situations:

rq->count has exceeded the threshold - however all manipulations of ->count
are performed under the runqueue lock, and so we will correctly pick up any
waiter.

Memory allocation for the request fails.  In this case, there is no additional
help provided by the memory barrier.  We are guaranteed to eventually wake up
waiters because the request allocation mempool guarantees that if the mem
allocation for a request fails, there must be some requests in flight.  They
will wake up waiters when they are retired.

blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth was used to optimize out unnecessary

tag_map was never allocated to real_max_depth resulting in access beyond the
end of the map, bits in [max_depth..real_max_depth] were set when initializing
a map and copied when resizing resulting in pre-occupied tags.

As the gain of the optimization is very small, well, almost nill, remove the
whole thing.

db3b5848ea When cfq I/O scheduler is selected, get_request() in __make_request() calls
__cfq_get_queue().  __cfq_get_queue() finds an existing queue (struct
cfq_queue) of the current process for the device and returns it.  If it's not
found, __cfq_get_queue() creates and returns a new one if __cfq_get_queue() is
called with __GFP_WAIT flag, or __cfq_get_queue() returns NULL (this means that
get_request() fails) if no __GFP_WAIT flag.

On the other hand, in __make_request(), get_request() is called without
__GFP_WAIT flag at the first time.  Thus, the get_request() fails when there is
no existing queue, typically when it's called for the first I/O request of the
process to the device.

Though it will be followed by get_request_wait() for general case,
__make_request() will just end the I/O with an error (EWOULDBLOCK) when the
request was for read-ahead.

c374f127e4 This patch fixes q->unplug_thresh condition check in
__elv_add_request().  rq.count[READ] + rq.count[WRITE] can increase
more than one if another thread has allocated a request after the
current request is allocated or in_flight could have changed resulting
in larger-than-one change of nrq, thus breaking the threshold
mechanism.

9f793d2c77 [PATCH] USB: fix ub issues
This smoothes two imperfections:
- Increase number of LUNs per device from 4 to 9. The best solution
  would be to remove this limit altogether, but that has to wait until
  the time when more than 26 hosts are allowed.
- Replace mdelay with msleep in a probing routine.

46f4e1b7d5 [PATCH] packet driver permission checking fix
If you tried to open a packet device first in read-only mode and then a
second time in read-write mode, the second open succeeded even though the
device was not correctly set up for writing.  If you then tried to write
data to the device, the writes would fail with I/O errors.

This patch prevents that problem by making the second open fail with
-EBUSY.

867d1191fc [SCSI] remove requeue feature from blk_insert_request()
blk_insert_request() has a unobivous feature of requeuing a
request setting REQ_SPECIAL|REQ_SOFTBARRIER.  SCSI midlayer
was the only user and as previous patches removed the usage,
remove the feature from blk_insert_request().  Only special
requests should be queued with blk_insert_request().  All
requeueing should go through blk_requeue_request().
