For network hickups during online-verify, on the next verify triggered, we by default want to resume where it left off. After any replication link interruption, there will be a (possibly empty) resync. Do not reset online-verify start sector if some resync completed, that would defeats the purpose. Only reset the start sector once a verify run is completed. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner <philipp.reisner@linbit.com> Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@linbit.com>

With the plugging now being explicitly controlled by the submitter, callers need not pass down unplugging hints to the block layer. If they want to unplug, it's because they manually plugged on their own - in which case, they should just unplug at will. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging, and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that. So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to the IO scheduler. The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule event. The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page() callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page() hack in the vm. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

It was always abuse to reuse the plugging infrastructure for this, convert it to the (new) real API for delaying queueing a bit. A default delay of 3 msec is defined, to match the previous behaviour. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

Convert ->media_changed() to the new ->check_events() method. The conversion is mostly mechanical. The only notable change is that cdrom now doesn't generate any event if @slot_nr isn't CDSL_CURRENT. It used to return -EINVAL which would be treated as media changed. As media changer isn't supported anyway, this doesn't make any difference. This makes ide emit the standard disk events and allows kernel event polling. Currently, only MEDIA_CHANGE event is implemented. Adding support for EJECT_REQUEST shouldn't be difficult; however, given that ide driver is already deprecated, it probably is best to leave it alone.

Tejun Heo authored
Not all block drivers clear events immediately after reporting. Some do so in ->revalidate_disk() or other steps during ->open(). There is a slim chance event poll may happen between the clearing event check from check_disk_change() and the actual clearing of the events which would result in spurious events. Block event checks while block device open is in progress. There is no need to kick explicit event check afterwards as events are always checked during open. -v2: The original patch could have called disk_unblock_events() with an already released or %NULL @disk causing oops. Fixed by making sure references are put after disk_unblock_events() is called. It also makes the error path of __blkdev_get() a bit simpler. This problem was reported by Jens.

The block event mechanism currently always checks events when the device is being closed regardless of the open mode. The intention was to allow detection of EJECT_REQUEST when a device is closed whether disk event polling is enabled or not. This is unnecessary as, for devices of interest, events are checked from either userland or kernel and in the former case ->check_events() is performed on open of each poll attempt anyway. Furthermore, this unconditional event check on close makes the code susceptible to event loop if the block driver doesn't clear reported events correctly - an event triggers userland to open and close the device which in turn causes another event, rinse and repeat. Check events on close only if it was blocked by excl write open. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk> Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org>

Currently, disk_unblock_events() implicitly kick event check if the block count reaches zero. This behavior is not described in the comment and hinders with future changes. Make the unblocker explicitly check events by calling disk_check_events() as necessary. This patch doesn't cause any behavior difference.

When throttle group limits are updated through cgroups, a thread is woken up to process these updates. While reviewing that code, oleg noted couple of race conditions existed in the code and he also suggested that code can be simplified. This patch fixes the races simplifies the code based on Oleg's suggestions: - Use xchg(). - Introduced a common function throtl_update_blkio_group_common() which is shared now by all iops/bps update functions.

With the help of cgroup interface one can go and upate the bps/iops limits of existing group. Once the limits are udpated, a thread is woken up to see if some blocked group needs recalculation based on new limits and needs to be requeued. There was also a piece of code where I was checking for group limit update when a fresh bio comes in. This patch gets rid of that piece of code and keeps processing the limit change at one place throtl_process_limit_change(). It just keeps the code simple and easy to understand.

If there are a sync and an async queue and the sync queue's think time is small, we can ignore the sync queue's dispatch quantum. Because the sync queue will always preempt the async queue, we don't need to care about async's latency. This can fix a performance regression of aiostress test, which is introduced by commit f8ae6e3e. The issue should exist even without the commit, but the commit amplifies the impact. The initial post does the same optimization for RT queue too, but since I have no real workload for it, Vivek suggests to drop it.

This merge creates two set of conflicts. One is simple context conflicts caused by removal of throtl_scheduled_delayed_work() in for-linus and removal of throtl_shutdown_timer_wq() in for-2.6.39/core. The other is caused by commit 255bb490 (block: blk-flush shouldn't call directly into q->request_fn() __blk_run_queue()) in for-linus crashing with FLUSH reimplementation in for-2.6.39/core. The conflict isn't trivial but the resolution is straight-forward. * __blk_run_queue() calls in flush_end_io() and flush_data_end_io() should be called with @force_kblockd set to %true. * elv_insert() in blk_kick_flush() should use %ELEVATOR_INSERT_REQUEUE. Both changes are to avoid invoking ->request_fn() directly from request completion path and closely match the changes in the commit 255bb490. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
