The remaining counters in page_state after the zoned VM counter patches
have been applied are all just for show in /proc/vmstat. They have no
essential function for the VM.
We use a simple increment of per cpu variables. In order to avoid the most
severe races we disable preempt. Preempt does not prevent the race between
an increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics
counter. However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one
increment or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that
the vm event counters have to be accurate.
In the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each
counter. For many architectures this will be reduced by the compiler to a
single instruction. This single instruction is atomic for i386 and x86_64.
And therefore even the rare race condition in an interrupt is avoided for
both architectures in most cases.
The patchset also adds an off switch for embedded systems that allows a
building of linux kernels without these counters.
The implementation of these counters is through inline code that hopefully
results in only a single instruction increment instruction being emitted
(i386, x86_64) or in the increment being hidden though instruction
concurrency (EPIC architectures such as ia64 can get that done).
Benefits:
- VM event counter operations usually reduce to a single inline instruction
on i386 and x86_64.
- No interrupt disable, only preempt disable for the preempt case.
Preempt disable can also be avoided by moving the counter into a spinlock.
- Handling is similar to zoned VM counters.
- Simple and easily extendable.
- Can be omitted to reduce memory use for embedded use.

Patch originally from Vasily Tarasov <vtaras@sw.ru>
If you set io-priority of process 1 using sys_ioprio_set system call by
another process 2 (like ionice do), then cfq_init_prio_data() function
sets priority of process 2 (current) on queue of process 1 and clears
the flag, that designates change of ioprio. So the process 1 will work
like with priority of process 2.
I propose not to call cfq_init_prio_data() on io-priority change, but
only mark queue as queue with changed prority. Every time when new
request comes cfq-scheduler checks for this flag and atomaticaly changes
priority of queue to new value.

A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.
Remove PF_SYNCWRITE completely from the fsync/msync paths, and let
the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync
by using WRITE_SYNC instead.

There's a race between shutting down one io scheduler and firing up the
next, in which a new io could enter and cause the io scheduler to be
invoked with bad or NULL data.
To fix this, we need to maintain the queue lock for a bit longer.
Unfortunately we cannot do that, since the elevator init requires to be
run without the lock held. This isn't easily fixable, without also
changing the mempool API. So split the initialization into two parts,
and alloc-init operation and an attach operation. Then we can
preallocate the io scheduler and related structures, and run the attach
inside the lock after we detach the old one.
This patch has survived 30 minutes of 1 second io scheduler switching

This reverts commit 56cf6504fc.
Both Erik Mouw and Andrew Vasquez independently pinpointed this commit
as causing problems, where the slab cache for a driver is never released
(most obviously causing problems when immediately re-loading that
driver, resulting in a "kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache <xyz>"
message, but it can also cause other trouble).
James Bottomley dug into it, and reports:
"OK, here's the scoop. The problem patch adds a get of driverfs_dev in
add_disk(), but doesn't put it again until disk_release() (which occurs
on final put_disk() of the gendisk).
However, in SCSI, the driverfs_dev is the sdev_gendev. That means
there's a reference held on sdev_gendev until final disk put.
Unfortunately, we use the driver model driver_remove to trigger
del_gendisk (which removes the gendisk from visibility and decrements
the refcount), so we've introduced an unbreakable deadlock in the
reference counting with this.
I suggest simply reversing this patch at the moment. If Russell and
Jens can tell me what they're trying to do I'll see if there's another
way to do it."
so hereby the patch gets reverted, waiting for a better fix.

Don't recurse back into the driver even if the unplug threshold is met,

point of view (requeues typically happen due to driver/hardware
shortage), and also dangerous since we could hit an endless request_fn

Also limit blk_run_queue() to one level of recursion, similar to how

The block layer keeps a reference (driverfs_dev) to the struct
device associated with the block device, and uses it internally
for generating uevents in block_uevent.
Block device uevents include umounting the partition, which can
occur after the backing device has been removed.
Unfortunately, this reference is not counted. This means that
if the struct device is removed from the device tree, the block
layers reference will become stale.
Guard against this by holding a reference to the struct device
in add_disk(), and only drop the reference when we're releasing
the gendisk kobject - in other words when we can be sure that no
further uevents will be generated for this block device.

The kernel's representation of the disk statistics uses the type unsigned
which is 32b on both 32b and 64b platforms. Unfortunately, most system
tools that work with these numbers that are exported in /proc/diskstats
including iostat read these numbers into unsigned longs. This works fine
on 32b platforms and when the number of IO transactions are small on 64b
platforms. However, when the numbers wrap on 64b platforms & you read the
numbers into unsigned longs, and compare the numbers to previous readings,
then you get an unsigned representation of a negative number. This looks
like a very large 64b number & gives you bizarre readouts in iostat:
ilc4: Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rsec/s wsec/s rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await svctm %util
ilc4: sda 5.50 0.00 143.96 0.00 307496983987862656.00 0.00 153748491993931328.00 0.00 2136028725038430.00 7.94 55.12 5.59 80.42
Though fixing iostat in user space is possible, and a quick survey
indicates that several other similar tools also use unsigned longs when
processing /proc/diskstats. Therefore, it seems like a better approach
would be to extend the length of the disk_stats structure on 64b
architectures to 64b. The following patch does that. It should not affect
the operation on 32b platforms.

If somebody does a hash lookup for cfq_queue while ioprio of an async queue
is elevated, they shouldn't end up stuck with lowered ioprio when we go back.
Fix is to use ->org_ioprio{,class} in hash lookups.

The low level PCI DMA mapping functions should handle it in most cases.
This should fix problems with depleting the DMA zone early. The old
code used precious GFP_DMA memory in many cases where it was not needed.

During testing of SLES10, we encountered a hang in the CFQ io scheduler.
Turns out the deferred slice expiry logic is buggy, so remove that for
now. We could be left with an idle queue that would never wake up. So
kill that logic, always expire immediately. Also fix a potential timer
race condition.
Patch looks bigger than it is, because it moves a function.

q->ordcolor must only be flipped on initial queueing of a hardbarrier
request.
Constructing ordered sequence and requeueing used to pass through
__elv_add_request() which flips q->ordcolor when it sees a barrier
request.
This patch separates out elv_insert() from __elv_add_request() and uses
elv_insert() when constructing ordered sequence and requeueing.
elv_insert() inserts the given request at the specified position and
does nothing else.

When issuing an SG_IO ioctl through sd that resulted in an unrecoverable
error, a nearly infinite retry loop was discovered. This is due to the
fact that the block layer SG_IO code is not setting up rq->retries. This
patch also fixes up the sg_scsi_ioctl path.

Previously, if a fs request which was being drained failed and got
requeued, blk_do_ordered() didn't allow it to be reissued, which causes
queue stall. This patch makes blk_do_ordered() use the sequence of each
request to determine whether a request can be issued or not. This fixes
the bug and simplifies code.

percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of
cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus.
As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS
loops to use for_each_cpu().
(The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h. powerpc has gone it
alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's
currently corrupting memory).

Jens has decided that allowing the default scheduler to be a module is
a bug, and should not be allowed under kconfig. However, I find that
scenario useful for debugging, and wish for the kernel to be able to
handle this situation without OOPSing, if I enable such an option in
the .config directly. This patch dynamically checks for the presence
of the compiled-in default, and falls back to no-op, emitting a
suitable error message, when the default is not available
Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2.

My previous default iosched patch did a poor job dealing with the
'elevator=' boot-time option. The old behavior falls back to the
compiled-in default if the requested one is not registered at boot
time. This patch dynamically evaluates which default
to use, and emits a suitable error message when the requested scheduler
is not available. It also does the 'as' -> 'anticipatory' conversion
before elevator registration, which along with a modified registration
function, allows it to correctly indicate which default scheduler is
in use.
Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2.
