block: Rename queue dead flag

2012-12-06T13:30:58+00:00

QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD is used to indicate that queuing new requests must
stop. After this flag has been set queue draining starts. However,
during the queue draining phase it is still safe to invoke the
queue's request_fn, so QUEUE_FLAG_DYING is a better name for this
flag.

This patch has been generated by running the following command
over the kernel source tree:

git grep -lEw 'blk_queue_dead|QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD' |
    xargs sed -i.tmp -e 's/blk_queue_dead/blk_queue_dying/g'      \
        -e 's/QUEUE_FLAG_DEAD/QUEUE_FLAG_DYING/g';                \
sed -i.tmp -e "s/QUEUE_FLAG_DYING$(printf \\t)*5/QUEUE_FLAG_DYING$(printf \\t)5/g" \
    include/linux/blkdev.h;                                       \
sed -i.tmp -e 's/ DEAD/ DYING/g' -e 's/dead queue/a dying queue/' \
    -e 's/Dead queue/A dying queue/' block/blk-core.c

workqueue: use mod_delayed_work() instead of __cancel + queue

2012-08-21T20:18:24+00:00

Now that mod_delayed_work() is safe to call from IRQ handlers,
__cancel_delayed_work() followed by queue_delayed_work() can be
replaced with mod_delayed_work().

Most conversions are straight-forward except for the following.

* net/core/link_watch.c: linkwatch_schedule_work() was doing a quite
  elaborate dancing around its delayed_work.  Collapse it such that
  linkwatch_work is queued for immediate execution if LW_URGENT and
  existing timer is kept otherwise.

workqueue: deprecate system_nrt[_freezable]_wq

2012-08-20T21:51:24+00:00

system_nrt[_freezable]_wq are now spurious.  Mark them deprecated and
convert all users to system[_freezable]_wq.

If you're cc'd and wondering what's going on: Now all workqueues are
non-reentrant, so there's no reason to use system_nrt[_freezable]_wq.
Please use system[_freezable]_wq instead.

This patch doesn't make any functional difference.

block: allocate io_context upfront

2012-06-25T09:53:50+00:00

Block layer very lazy allocation of ioc.  It waits until the moment
ioc is absolutely necessary; unfortunately, that time could be inside
queue lock and __get_request() performs unlock - try alloc - retry
dancing.

Just allocate it up-front on entry to block layer.  We're not saving
the rain forest by deferring it to the last possible moment and
complicating things unnecessarily.

This patch is to prepare for further updates to request allocation
path.

blkcg: tg_stats_alloc_lock is an irq lock

2012-05-23T10:16:21+00:00

tg_stats_alloc_lock nests inside queue lock and should always be held
with irq disabled.  throtl_pd_{init|exit}() were using non-irqsafe
spinlock ops which triggered inverse lock ordering via irq warning via
RCU freeing of blkg invoking throtl_pd_exit() w/o disabling IRQ.

Update both functions to use irq safe operations.

Merge tag 'v3.4-rc5' into for-3.5/core

The core branch is behind driver commits that we want to build
on for 3.5, hence I'm pulling in a later -rc.

blkcg: collapse blkcg_policy_ops into blkcg_policy

2012-04-20T08:06:17+00:00

There's no reason to keep blkcg_policy_ops separate.  Collapse it into
blkcg_policy.

blkcg: embed struct blkg_policy_data in policy specific data

2012-04-20T08:06:17+00:00

Currently blkg_policy_data carries policy specific data as char flex
array instead of being embedded in policy specific data.  This was
forced by oddities around blkg allocation which are all gone now.

This patch makes blkg_policy_data embedded in policy specific data -
throtl_grp and cfq_group so that it's more conventional and consistent
with how io_cq is handled.

* blkcg_policy->pdata_size is renamed to ->pd_size.

* Functions which used to take void *pdata now takes struct
  blkg_policy_data *pd.

* blkg_to_pdata/pdata_to_blkg() updated to blkg_to_pd/pd_to_blkg().

* Dummy struct blkg_policy_data definition added.  Dummy
  pdata_to_blkg() definition was unused and inconsistent with the
  non-dummy version - correct dummy pd_to_blkg() added.

* throtl and cfq updated accordingly.

* As dummy blkg_to_pd/pd_to_blkg() are provided,
  blkg_to_cfqg/cfqg_to_blkg() don't need to be ifdef'd.  Moved outside
  ifdef block.

This patch doesn't introduce any functional change.

blkcg: mass rename of blkcg API

2012-04-20T08:06:17+00:00

During the recent blkcg cleanup, most of blkcg API has changed to such
extent that mass renaming wouldn't cause any noticeable pain.  Take
the chance and cleanup the naming.

* Rename blkio_cgroup to blkcg.

* Drop blkio / blkiocg prefixes and consistently use blkcg.

* Rename blkio_group to blkcg_gq, which is consistent with io_cq but
  keep the blkg prefix / variable name.

* Rename policy method type and field names to signify they're dealing
  with policy data.

* Rename blkio_policy_type to blkcg_policy.

This patch doesn't cause any functional change.

blkcg: remove blkio_group->path[]

2012-04-20T08:06:16+00:00

blkio_group->path[] stores the path of the associated cgroup and is
used only for debug messages.  Just format the path from blkg->cgroup
when printing debug messages.
