Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit. Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing small files and fsync-ing them is starved. This patch fixes the two problems by: - marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE flag set, - force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle tree. Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated to journal commits in the noidle tree allows: - switching between them without idling, - fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only after the noidle tree expires its slice.

When a new disk is being discovered, add_disk() first ties the bdev to gendisk (via register_disk()->blkdev_get()) and only after that calls bdi_register_bdev(). Because register_disk() also creates disk's kobject, it can happen that userspace manages to open and modify the device's data (or inode) before its BDI is properly initialized leading to a warning in __mark_inode_dirty(). Fix the problem by registering BDI early enough.

o Kill extra "dev weight" header which is printed when somebody reads blkio.weight_device file. This really seems to be out of convention.

This is the third patch in a series which adds support for storing partition metadata, optionally, off of the hd_struct. One major use for that data is being able to resolve partition by other identities than just the index on a block device. Device enumeration varies by platform and there's a benefit to being able to use something like EFI GPT's GUIDs to determine the correct block device and partition to mount as the root. This change adds that support to root= by adding support for the following syntax: root=PARTUUID=hex-uuid Signed-off-by: Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

I'm reposting this patch series as v4 since there have been no additional comments, and I cleaned up one extra bit of unneeded code (in 3/3). The patches are against Linus's tree: 2bfc96a1 (2.6.36-rc3). Would this patchset be suitable for inclusion in an mm branch? This changes adds a partition_meta_info struct which itself contains a union of structures that provide partition table specific metadata. This change leaves the union empty. The subsequent patch includes an implementation for CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION-based metadata. Signed-off-by: Will Drewry <wad@chromium.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

Change type of 2nd parameter of blk_rq_aligned() into unsigned long and remove unnecessary casting. Now we can call it with 'uaddr' instead of 'ubuf' in __blk_rq_map_user() so that it can remove following warnings from sparse: block/blk-map.c:57:31: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) block/blk-map.c:57:31: expected void *addr block/blk-map.c:57:31: got void [noderef] <asn:1>*ubuf However blk_rq_map_kern() needs one more local variable to handle it.

When sending DIX integrity segments with an I/O request, the restriction for the maximum number of segments is still the same for the zfcp hardware. Report the new sg_prot_tablesize for the SCSI host, so that the number of integrity segments plus the number of data segments is not larger than the hardware limit. This results in using half of the hardware segments for integrity data and the other half for regular data.

Introduce a max_integrity_segments limit in the block layer and provide a new scsi_host_template setting that allows HBA drivers to provide a value suitable for the hardware.

We now attempt to free "active" objects following a GPU hang as either the GPU will be reset or the hang is permenant. In either case, the GPU writes will not be flushed to main memory and it should be safe to return that memory back to the system. The BUG_ON(active) is thus overkill and can erroneously fire after a EIO. Signed-off-by: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net>

Waiting for a hard coded 20ms isn't always enough to make sure a vblank period has actually occurred, so add code to make sure we really have passed through a vblank period (or that the pipe is off when disabling). This prevents problems with mode setting and link training, and seems to fix a bug like https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29278, but on an HP 8440p instead. Hopefully also fixes https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=29141. Signed-off-by: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org> Signed-off-by: Eric Anholt <eric@anholt.net>

With the introduction of the new unified work queue thread pools, we lost one feature: It's no longer possible to know which worker is causing the CPU to wake out of idle. The result is that PowerTOP now reports a lot of "kworker/a:b" instead of more readable results. This patch adds a pair of tracepoints to the new workqueue code, similar in style to the timer/hrtimer tracepoints. With this pair of tracepoints, the next PowerTOP can correctly report which work item caused the wakeup (and how long it took): Interrupt (43) i915 time 3.51ms wakeups 141 Work ieee80211_iface_work time 0.81ms wakeups 29 Work do_dbs_timer time 0.55ms wakeups 24 Process Xorg time 21.36ms wakeups 4 Timer sched_rt_period_timer time 0.01ms wakeups 1 Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Like the mlock() change previously, this makes the stack guard check code use vma->vm_prev to see what the mapping below the current stack is, rather than have to look it up with find_vma(). Also, accept an abutting stack segment, since that happens naturally if you split the stack with mlock or mprotect.

It's a really simple list, and several of the users want to go backwards in it to find the previous vma.

Apparently, the check for a 6-byte ID string introduced by commit 426c457a ("mtd: nand: extend NAND flash detection to new MLC chips") is NOT sufficient to determine whether or not a Samsung chip uses their new MLC detection scheme or the old, standard scheme.
