82b145c5a5 NFS: alloc nfs_read/write_data as direct I/O is scheduled
Re-arrange the logic in the NFS direct I/O path so that nfs_read/write_data
structs are allocated just before they are scheduled, rather than
allocating them all at once before we start scheduling requests.

06cf6f2ed0 NFS: Eliminate nfs_get_user_pages()
Neil Brown observed that the kmalloc() in nfs_get_user_pages() is more
likely to fail if the I/O is large enough to require the allocation of more
than a single page to keep track of all the pinned pages in the user's
buffer.

Instead of tracking one large page array per dreq/iocb, track pages per
nfs_read/write_data, just like the cached I/O path does.  An array for
pages is already allocated for us by nfs_readdata_alloc() (and the write
and commit equivalents).

This is also required for adding support for vectored I/O to the NFS direct
I/O path.

The original reason to pin the user buffer and allocate all the NFS data
structures before trying to schedule I/O was to ensure all needed resources
are allocated on the client before starting to send requests.  This reduces
the chance that resource exhaustion on the client will cause a short read
or write.

On the other hand, for an application making very large application I/O
requests, this means that it will be nearly impossible for the application
to make forward progress on a resource-limited client.

Thus, moving the buffer pinning functionality into the I/O scheduling
loops should be good for scalability.  The next patch will do the same for
NFS data structure allocation.

fedb595c66 NFS: "open code" the NFS direct write rescheduler
An NFSv3/v4 client must reschedule on-the-wire writes if the writes are
UNSTABLE, and the server reboots before the client can complete a
subsequent COMMIT request.

To support direct asynchronous scatter-gather writes, the write
rescheduler in fs/nfs/direct.c must not depend on the I/O parameters
in the controlling nfs_direct_req structure.  iovecs can be somewhat
arbitrarily complex, so there could be an unbounded amount of information
to save for a rarely encountered requirement.

Refactor the direct write rescheduler so it uses information from each
nfs_write_data structure to reschedule writes, instead of caching that
information in the controlling nfs_direct_req structure.

caaa5f9f0a [PATCH] cfq-iosched: many performance fixes
This is a collection of patches that greatly improve CFQ performance
in some circumstances.

- Change the idling logic to only kick in after a request is done and we
  are deciding what to do. Before the idling included the request service
  time, so it was hard to adjust. Now it's true think/idle time.

- Take advantage of TCQ/NCQ/queueing for seeky sync workloads, but keep
  it in control for sync and sequential (or close to) workloads.

- Expire queues immediately and move on to other busy queues, if we are
  not going to idle after the current one finishes.

- Don't rearm idle timer if there are no busy queues. Just leave the
  system idle.

35e6077cb1 [PATCH] cfq-iosched: correctly set ioprio on both targets
Patch originally from Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@sw.ru>

If you set io-priority of process 1 using sys_ioprio_set system call by
another process 2 (like ionice do), then cfq_init_prio_data() function
sets priority of process 2 (current) on queue of process 1 and clears
the flag, that designates change of ioprio.  So the process  1 will work
like with priority of process 2.

I propose not to call cfq_init_prio_data() on io-priority change, but
only mark queue as queue with changed prority.  Every time when new
request comes cfq-scheduler checks for this flag and atomaticaly changes
priority of queue to new value.

b31dc66a54 [PATCH] Kill PF_SYNCWRITE flag
A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.

Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

eefe85ee35 [PATCH] drivers/block/loop.c: don't return garbage if LOOP_SET_STATUS not called
While writing a version of losetup, I ran into the problem that the loop
device was returning total garbage.

It turns out the problem was that this losetup was only issuing the
LOOP_SET_FD ioctl and not issuing a subsequent LOOP_SET_STATUS ioctl.  This
losetup didn't have any special status to set, so it left out the call.

The deeper cause is that loop_set_fd sets the transfer function to NULL,
which causes no transfer to happen lo_do_transfer.

This patch fixes the problem by setting transfer to transfer_none in
loop_set_fd.

98bd34eaf1 [PATCH] make kernel warn about incorrectly sized partitions
Sometimes partitions claim to be larger than the reported capacity of a
disk device.  This patch makes the kernel warn about those partitions.

We still permit these patitions to be used.  Quoting Andries Brouwer
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>:

 Case 1: The kernel is mistaken about the size of the disk.  (There are
 commands to clip a disk to a certain capacity, there are jumpers to tell a
 disk that it should report a certain capacity etc.  Usually this is because
 of BIOS bugs.  In bad cases the machine will crash in the BIOS and hence fail
 to boot if the disk reports full capacity.) In such cases actually accessing
 the blocks of the partition may work fine, or may work fine after running an
 unclip utility.  I wrote "setmax" some years ago precisely for this reason.

 Case 2: There was a messy partition table (maybe just a rounding error) but
 the actual filesystem on the partition is contained in the physical disk.
 Now using the filesystem goes without problem.

 Case 3: Both partition and filesystem extend beyond the end of the disk.  In
 forensic or debugging situations one often uses a copy of the start of a
 disk.  Now access beyond the end gives an expected I/O error.

78ce89c92b [PATCH] JBD: split checkpoint lists
Split the checkpoint list of the transaction into two lists.  In the first
list we keep the buffers that need to be submitted for IO.  In the second
list are kept buffers that were already submitted and we just have to wait
for the IO to complete.  This should simplify a handling of checkpoint
lists a bit and can eventually be also a performance gain.

908dcecda1 [PATCH] adjust handle_IRR_event() return type
Correct the return type of handle_IRQ_event() (inconsistency noticed during
Xen development), and remove redundant declarations.  The return type
adjustment required breaking out the definition of irqreturn_t into a
separate header, in order to satisfy current include order dependencies.

3439dd86e3 [PATCH] When CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=1, cascade() may enter an infinite loop
When CONFIG_BASE_SAMLL=1, cascade() in may enter the infinite loop.
Because of CONFIG_BASE_SMALL=1(TVR_BITS=6 and TVN_BITS=4), the list
base->tv5 may cascade into base->tv5.  So, the kernel enters the infinite
loop in the function cascade().

I created a test module to verify this bug, and a patch to fix it.

#include <linux/module.h>

#define TVN_MASK (TVN_SIZE - 1)
#define TVR_MASK (TVR_SIZE - 1)

#define TV_SIZE(N)  (N*TVN_BITS  + TVR_BITS)

struct timer_list timer0;
struct timer_list dummy_timer1;
struct timer_list dummy_timer2;

void dummy_timer_fun(unsigned long data) {
}
unsigned long j=0;
void check_timer_base(unsigned long data)
{
        kdb_printf("check_timer_base %08x\n",jiffies);
        mod_timer(&timer0,(jiffies & (~0xFFF)) + 0x1FFF);
}

int init_module(void)
{
        init_timer(&timer0);
        timer0.data = (unsigned long)0;
        timer0.function = check_timer_base;
        mod_timer(&timer0,jiffies+1);

        init_timer(&dummy_timer1);
        dummy_timer1.data = (unsigned long)0;
        dummy_timer1.function = dummy_timer_fun;

        init_timer(&dummy_timer2);
        dummy_timer2.data = (unsigned long)0;
        dummy_timer2.function = dummy_timer_fun;

        j=jiffies;
        j&=(~((1<<TV_SIZE(3))-1));
        j+=(1<<TV_SIZE(3));
        j+=(1<<TV_SIZE(4));

        kdb_printf("mod_timer %08x\n",j);
