block: add missing blk_queue_dead() checks

2011-12-13T23:33:37+00:00

blk_insert_cloned_request(), blk_execute_rq_nowait() and
blk_flush_plug_list() either didn't check whether the queue was dead
or did it without holding queue_lock.  Update them so that dead state
is checked while holding queue_lock.

AFAICS, this plugs all holes (requeue doesn't matter as the request is
transitioning atomically from in_flight to queued).

block: add blk_queue_dead()

2011-12-13T23:33:37+00:00

There are a number of QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD tests.  Add blk_queue_dead()
macro and use it.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional difference.

[SCSI] fix crash in scsi_dispatch_cmd()

2011-07-21T21:21:18+00:00

USB surprise removal of sr is triggering an oops in
scsi_dispatch_command().  What seems to be happening is that USB is
hanging on to a queue reference until the last close of the upper
device, so the crash is caused by surprise remove of a mounted CD
followed by attempted unmount.

The problem is that USB doesn't issue its final commands as part of
the SCSI teardown path, but on last close when the block queue is long
gone.  The long term fix is probably to make sr do the teardown in the
same way as sd (so remove all the lower bits on ejection, but keep the
upper disk alive until last close of user space).  However, the
current oops can be simply fixed by not allowing any commands to be
sent to a dead queue.

block: Remove 'plug/unplug' comment in blk_execute_rq_nowait

2011-05-05T21:10:05+00:00

unplug is replaced with blk_run_queue now in blk_execute_rq_nowait,
so change the comment accordingly.

block: add blk_run_queue_async

2011-04-18T09:41:33+00:00

Instead of overloading __blk_run_queue to force an offload to kblockd
add a new blk_run_queue_async helper to do it explicitly.  I've kept
the blk_queue_stopped check for now, but I suspect it's not needed
as the check we do when the workqueue items runs should be enough.

block: remove per-queue plugging

2011-03-10T07:52:07+00:00

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().

block: Prevent hang_check firing during long I/O

2010-09-24T13:52:09+00:00

During long I/O operations, the hang_check timer may fire,
trigger stack dumps that unnecessarily alarm the user.

Eg.  hdparm --security-erase NULL /dev/sdb  ## can take *hours* to complete

So, if hang_check is armed, we should wake up periodically
to prevent it from triggering.  This patch uses a wake-up interval
equal to half the hang_check timer period, which keeps overhead low enough.

block: remove wrappers for request type/flags

2010-08-07T16:17:56+00:00

Remove all the trivial wrappers for the cmd_type and cmd_flags fields in
struct requests.  This allows much easier grepping for different request
types instead of unwinding through macros.

block: don't set REQ_NOMERGE unnecessarily

2009-04-28T05:37:33+00:00

RQ_NOMERGE_FLAGS already clears defines which REQ flags aren't
mergeable.  There is no reason to specify it superflously.  It only
adds to confusion.  Don't set REQ_NOMERGE for barriers and requests
with specific queueing directive.  REQ_NOMERGE is now exclusively used
by the merging code.
