BLOCK: Fix bad sharing of tag busy list on queues with shared tag maps

2007-11-16T16:12:44+00:00

patch 6eca9004dfcb274a502438a591df5b197690afb1 in mainline.

For the locking to work, only the tag map and tag bit map may be shared
(incidentally, I was just explaining this to Nick yesterday, but I
apparently didn't review the code well enough myself). But we also share
the busy list!  The busy_list must be queue private, or we need a
block_queue_tag covering lock as well.

So we have to move the busy_list to the queue. This'll work fine, and
it'll actually also fix a problem with blk_queue_invalidate_tags() which
will invalidate tags across all shared queues. This is a bit confusing,
the low level driver should call it for each queue seperately since
otherwise you cannot kill tags on just a single queue for eg a hard
drive that stops responding. Since the function has no callers
currently, it's not an issue.

This is fixed with commit 6eca9004dfcb274a502438a591df5b197690afb1 in
Linus' tree.

shared tag queue barrier comment

2007-09-14T20:56:47+00:00

Should add some comments for the tag barriers (they won't be so important
if we can switch over to the explicit _lock bitops, but for now we should
make it clear).

Jens' original patch said a barrier after the test_and_clear_bit was also
required. I can't see why (and it would prevent the use of the _lock bitop).

Fix race with shared tag queue maps

2007-09-13T15:20:25+00:00

There's a race condition in blk_queue_end_tag() for shared tag maps,
users include stex (promise supertrak thingy) and qla2xxx.  The former
at least has reported bugs in this area, not sure why we haven't seen
any for the latter.  It could be because the window is narrow and that
other conditions in the qla2xxx code hide this.  It's a real bug,
though, as the stex smp users can attest.

We need to ensure two things - the tag bit clearing needs to happen
AFTER we cleared the tag pointer, as the tag bit clearing/setting is
what protects this map.  Secondly, we need to ensure that the visibility
of the tag pointer and tag bit clear are ordered properly.

[ I removed the SMP barriers - "test_and_clear_bit()" already implies
  all the required barriers.  -- Linus ]

Fix remap handling by blktrace

2007-08-11T20:34:48+00:00

This patch provides more information concerning REMAP operations on block
IOs. The additional information provides clearer details at the user level,
and supports post-processing analysis in btt.

o  Adds in partition remaps on the same device.
o  Fixed up the remap information in DM to be in the right order
o  Sent up mapped-from and mapped-to device information

[SCSI] bsg: update sg_io_v4 structure

2007-07-31T15:43:05+00:00

This updates sg_io_v4 structure (based on Doug's RFC, release 1.3).

The major changes are:

- add dout_resid field
- increase tag size to 64 bits to comply with SAM-4 and SRP
- add dout_iovec_count and din_iovec_count

dout_iovec_count and din_iovec_count aren't supported now. I'm not
sure whether they will be supported or not but they were added for the
possible future changes.

[SCSI] bsg: Fix build for CONFIG_BLOCK=n

2007-07-28T14:56:06+00:00

BLK_DEV_BSG was added outside of the if BLOCK check, which allows it to
be enabled when CONFIG_BLOCK=n. This leads to many screenlengths of
errors, starting with a parse error on the request_queue_t definition.
Obviously this wasn't intended for CONFIG_BLOCK=n usage, so just move the
option back in to the block.

Caught with a randconfig on sh.

[BLOCK] Get rid of request_queue_t typedef

2007-07-24T07:28:11+00:00

Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
the proper type.
