cciss: Do not automatically rescan on UNIT ATTENTION/LUN DATA CHANGED There are problems with doing this. If, say, several logical drives are deleted at once, several such UNIT ATTENTIONS will be encountered, often during the rescan triggered by the first such UNIT ATTENTION. The block layer may be in the midst of trying to add logical drives which were just deleted (resulting in the subsequent UNIT ATTENTION(s).) Making the rescan code robust enough to tolerate this kind of thing is too complicated for the moment. So, for now, we just don't do it. Note: This UNIT ATTENTION/LUN DATA CHANGED situation only occurs on the MSA2012. Signed-off-by: Stephen M. Cameron <scameron@beardog.cce.hp.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

Cfq has a bug in computation of next_rq, that affects transition between multiple sequential request streams in a single queue (e.g.: two sequential buffered writers of the same priority), causing the alternation between the two streams for a transient period. 8,0 1 18737 0.260400660 5312 D W 141653311 + 256 8,0 1 20839 0.273239461 5400 D W 141653567 + 256 8,0 1 20841 0.276343885 5394 D W 142803919 + 256 8,0 1 20843 0.279490878 5394 D W 141668927 + 256 8,0 1 20845 0.292459993 5400 D W 142804175 + 256 8,0 1 20847 0.295537247 5400 D W 141668671 + 256 8,0 1 20849 0.298656337 5400 D W 142804431 + 256 8,0 1 20851 0.311481148 5394 D W 141668415 + 256 8,0 1 20853 0.314421305 5394 D W 142804687 + 256 8,0 1 20855 0.318960112 5400 D W 142804943 + 256 The fix makes sure that the next_rq is computed from the last dispatched request, and not affected by merging. 8,0 1 37776 4.305161306 0 D W 141738087 + 256 8,0 1 37778 4.308298091 0 D W 141738343 + 256 8,0 1 37780 4.312885190 0 D W 141738599 + 256 8,0 1 37782 4.315933291 0 D W 141738855 + 256 8,0 1 37784 4.319064459 0 D W 141739111 + 256 8,0 1 37786 4.331918431 5672 D W 142803007 + 256 8,0 1 37788 4.334930332 5672 D W 142803263 + 256 8,0 1 37790 4.337902723 5672 D W 142803519 + 256 8,0 1 37792 4.342359774 5672 D W 142803775 + 256 8,0 1 37794 4.345318286 0 D W 142804031 + 256 Signed-off-by: Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

When there are many blocks on the fly (ua), and the AL gets into "starving" mode (random IO, scattered all over the device), and the connections gets interrupted, the receiver thread deadlocks in the drbd_disconnect() code path. Affected are only nodes in Primary role. The bug triggers most likely on system that mirror over "long distances" Regression introduced shortly before 8.3.3 with git commit 31e0f1250f174ac1ee317f360943a0159e19edc8 Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner <philipp.reisner@linbit.com> Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg <lars.ellenberg@linbit.com>

sendfile(2) was reworked with the splice infrastructure, but it still checks f_op.sendpage() instead of f_op.splice_write() wrongly. Although if f_op.sendpage() exists, f_op.splice_write() always exists at the same time currently, the assumption will be broken in future silently. This patch also brings a side effect: sendfile(2) can work with any output file. Some security checks related to f_op are added too.

The current PS3 VRAM driver uses msleep() to wait for completion of RSX DMA transfers between system memory and VRAM. Depending on the system timing, the processing delay and overhead of this msleep() call can significantly impact VRAM driver IO. To avoid the condition, add a short duration (200 usec max) udelay() polling loop before entering the msleep() polling loop.

CFQ has an optimization for cooperated applications. if several io-context have close requests, they will get boost. But the optimization get abused. Considering thread a, b, which work on one file. a reads sectors s, s+2, s+4, ...; b reads sectors s+1, s+3, s +5, ... Both a and b are sequential read, so they can open idle window. a reads a sector s and goes to idle window and wakeup b. b reads sector s+1, since in current implementation, cfq_should_preempt() thinks a and b are cooperators, b will preempt a. b then reads sector s+1 and goes to idle window and wakeup a. for the same reason, a will preempt b and reads s+2. a and b will continue the circle. The circle will be very long, and a and b will occupy whole disk queue. Other applications will nearly have no chance to run. Fix this limiting coop preempt until a queue is scheduled normally again.

Commit 592b09a4 was different from the tested path, in that it moved the bdi super_block prune from unregister to destroy context. This doesn't fully fix the sync hang bug on unexpected device removal, as need to prune the bdi cache pointer before killing flusher thread.
