- Drop initialization of urb.transfer_flags,
now that URB_UNLINK_ASYNC is gone
- Add forgotten processing of stalls at GetMaxLUN
- Remove a few more P3-tagged printks whose time has come

The CCISS driver seems to loose track of DMA mappings created by it's
fill_cmd() routine. Neither callers of this routine are extracting the DMA
address created in order to do the unmap.
Instead, they simply try to unmap 0x0. It's easy to see this problem on an
x86_64 system when using the "swiotlb=force" boot option. In this case, the
driver is leaking resources of the swiotlb and not causing a sync of the
bounce buffer.

The soon to be released smartmontools 5.34 uses the
READ DEFECT DATA command on SCSI disks. A disk that
has defect list entries (or worse, an increasing number
of them) is at risk.
Currently the first invocation of smartctl causes this:
scsi: unknown opcode 0x37
message to appear the console and in the log.
The READ DEFECT DATA SCSI command does not change
the state of a disk. Its opcode (0x37) is valid for
SBC devices (e.g. disks) and SMC-2 devices (media
changers) where it is called INITIALIZE STATUS ELEMENT
WITH RANGE and again doesn't change the external state
of the device.

29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:
This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
flag from the Linux kernel. Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
from an earlier, less-well-designed system. For over a year it hasn't
been used for anything other than printing warning messages."
An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
time. As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches. Proprietary
operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
quickly."
Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
subdirectory. "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
"They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
supposed to. That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
is removed."
Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
calls. His only comment was "Applied, thanks."

Back out Axboe-style quasi-S/G and replace it with one command and
repeated URBs. This is similar to what usb-storage does, only instead
of a few URBs allocated together, one URB is reused.
Jens's idea was very nice, but it collapsed when I had to support
packet commads for CD burning. I cannot issue two or more packet
commands where application expected only one.
However, burning does not work completely yet. The cdrecord starts,
recognizes the device, then aborts without writing a TOC.

This the quasi-S/G patch for ub as suggested by Jens Axboe at OLS and
implemented that night before 4 a.m. Surprisingly, it worked right away...
Alas, I had to skip some OLS partying, but it was for the good cause.
Now the speed of ub is quite acceptable even on partitions with small
block size.
The ub does not really support S/G. Instead, it just tells the block
layer that it does. Then, most of the time, the block layer merges
requests and passes single-segmnent requests down to ub; everything
works as before. Very rarely ub gets an unmerged S/G request. In such
case, it issues several commands to the device.
I added a small array of counters to monitor the merging (sg_stat).
This may be dropped later.

I ran across a memory leak related to the cfq scheduler. The cfq
init function increments the refcnt of the associated request_queue.
This refcount gets decremented in cfq's exit function. Since blk_cleanup_queue
only calls the elevator exit function when its refcnt goes to zero, the
request_q never gets cleaned up. It didn't look like other io schedulers were
incrementing this refcnt, so I removed the refcnt increment and it fixed the
memory leak for me.
To reproduce the problem, simply use cfq and use the scsi_host scan sysfs
attribute to scan "- - -" repeatedly on a scsi host and watch the memory
vanish.

My patch in commit fa72b903f7 incorrectly
removed blk_queue_tag->real_max_depth.
The original resize implementation was incorrect in the following
points.
* actual allocation size of tag_index was shorter than real_max_size,
but assumed to be of the same size, possibly causing memory access
beyond the allocated area.
* bits in tag_map between max_deptn and real_max_depth were
initialized to 1's, making the tags permanently reserved.
In an attempt to fix above two bugs, I had removed allocation optimization
in init_tag_map and real_max_size. Tag map/index were allocated and freed
immediately during resize.
Unfortunately, I wasn't considering that tag map/index can be resized
dynamically with tags beyond new_depth active. This led to accessing
freed area after shrinking tags and led to the following bug reporting
thread on linux-scsi.
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=112319898111885&w=2
To fix the problem, I've revived real_max_depth without allocation
optimization in init_tag_map, and Andrew Vasquez confirmed that the
problem was fixed. As Jens is not going to be available for a week, he
asked me to make sure that this patch reaches you.

In the case where the request is not able to be merged by the elevator, don't
retake the lock and retry the merge mechanism after allocating a new request.
Instead assume that the chance of a merge remains slim, and now that we've
done most of the work allocating a request we may as well just go with it.
Also be rid of the GFP_ATOMIC allocation: we've got working mempools for the
block layer now, so let's save atomic memory for things like networking.

Currently we cap request allocations at q->nr_requests, but we allow a
batching io context to allocate up to 32 more (default setting). This
can flood the queue with request allocations, with only a few batching
processes. The real fix would be to limit the number of batchers, but
as that isn't currently tracked, I suggest we just cap the maximum
number of allocated requests to eg 50% over the limit.
This was observed in real life, users typically see this as vmstat bo
numbers going off the wall with seconds of no queueing afterwards.

my "driver had no damn business reading that structure." ;)
The application folks are to use /proc or /sys for partition info from now on.
I am only aware of a few apps that use this ioctl and I'm not sure they ever
used the partition info.

This is pass 2 of my patch to add pci domain info to an existing ioctl. This
time I insert the domain between dev_fn and board_id as Willy suggested and
change the var to unsigned short to ease Christoph's concerns. Although I
thought unsigned int was the correct var type for this. I also thought it
didn't matter where I inserted it in the structure.

If cfq is managing a queue and a new scheduler is later selected, it is
possible for the cfqd unplug_work work to be queued after the kblockd

latter may rearm the work, leaving cfq_kick_queue() with dead data.

- Adjust slice values
- Instead of one async queue, one is defined per priority level. This
prevents kernel threads (such as reiserfs/x and others) that run at
higher io priority from conflicting with others. Previously, it was a
coin toss what io prio the async queue got, it was defined by who
first set up the queue.
- Let a time slice only begin, when the previous slice is completely
done. Previously we could be somewhat unfair to a new sync slice, if
the previous slice was async and had several ios queued. This might
need a little tweaking if throughput suffers a little due to this,
allowing perhaps an overlap of a single request or so.
- Optimize the calling of kblockd_schedule_work() by doing it only when
it is strictly necessary (no requests in driver and work left to do).
- Correct sync vs async logic. A 'normal' process can be purely async as
well, and a flusher can be purely sync as well. Sync or async is now a
property of the class defined and requests pending. Previously writers
could be considered sync, when they were really async.
- Get rid of the bit fields in cfqq and crq, use flags instead.
- Various other cleanups and fixes

In cfq_find_next_crq(), cfq tries to find the next request by choosing
one of two requests before and after the current one. Currently, when
choosing the next request, if there's no next request, the next
candidate is NULL, resulting in selection of the previous request. This
results in weird scheduling. Once we reach the end, we always seek
backward.
The correct behavior is using the first request as the next candidate.
cfq_choose_req() already has logics for handling wrapped requests.

This patch allows block device drivers to convert their ioctl functions to
unlocked_ioctl() like character devices and other subsystems. All
functions that were called with the BKL held before are still used that
way, but I would not be surprised if it could be removed from the ioctl
functions in drivers/block/ioctl.c themselves.
As a side note, I found that compat_blkdev_ioctl() acquires the BKL as
well, which looks like a bug. I have checked that every user of
disk->fops->compat_ioctl() in the current git tree gets the BKL itself, so
it could easily be removed from compat_blkdev_ioctl().

Looks like locking can be optimised quite a lot. Increase lock widths
slightly so lo_lock is taken fewer times per request. Also it was quite
trivial to cover lo_pending with that lock, and remove the atomic
requirement. This also makes memory ordering explicitly correct, which is
nice (not that I particularly saw any mem ordering bugs).

This memory barrier is not needed because the waitqueue will only get waiters
on it in the following situations:
rq->count has exceeded the threshold - however all manipulations of ->count
are performed under the runqueue lock, and so we will correctly pick up any
waiter.
Memory allocation for the request fails. In this case, there is no additional
help provided by the memory barrier. We are guaranteed to eventually wake up
waiters because the request allocation mempool guarantees that if the mem
allocation for a request fails, there must be some requests in flight. They

__cfq_get_queue(). __cfq_get_queue() finds an existing queue (struct
cfq_queue) of the current process for the device and returns it. If it's not
found, __cfq_get_queue() creates and returns a new one if __cfq_get_queue() is
called with __GFP_WAIT flag, or __cfq_get_queue() returns NULL (this means that
get_request() fails) if no __GFP_WAIT flag.
On the other hand, in __make_request(), get_request() is called without
__GFP_WAIT flag at the first time. Thus, the get_request() fails when there is
no existing queue, typically when it's called for the first I/O request of the
process to the device.
Though it will be followed by get_request_wait() for general case,
__make_request() will just end the I/O with an error (EWOULDBLOCK) when the
request was for read-ahead.

I found a bug in the packet writing driver that could cause data
corruption. The problem arised if the driver got a write request for a
sector in a "zone" it was already working on. In that case it was supposed
to queue the write request until it was done processing earlier requests
for the same zone, and instead work on some other zone in the mean time.
However, if there was no other zone to work on, the driver would initiate
two packet_data objects for the same zone, causing unpredictable things to

even with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) the user space memory is still accessible with

[Patch] Fix raw device ioctl pass-through
Raw character devices are supposed to pass ioctls through to the block
devices they are bound to. Unfortunately, they are using the wrong
function for this: ioctl_by_bdev(), instead of blkdev_ioctl().
ioctl_by_bdev() performs a set_fs(KERNEL_DS) before calling the ioctl,
redirecting the user-space buffer access to the kernel address space.
This is, needless to say, a bad thing.
This was noticed first on s390, where raw IO was non-functioning. The
s390 driver config does not actually allow raw IO to be enabled, which
was the first part of the problem. Secondly, the s390 kernel address
space is distinct from user, causing legal raw ioctls to fail. I've
reproduced this on a kernel built with 4G:4G split on x86, which fails
in the same way (-EFAULT if the address does not exist kernel-side;
returns success without actually populating the user buffer if it does.)
The patch below fixes both the config and address-space problems. It's
based closely on a patch by Jan Glauber <jang@de.ibm.com>, which has
been tested on s390 at IBM. I've tested it on x86 4G:4G (split address
space) and x86_64 (common address space).
Kernel-address-space access has been assigned CAN-2005-1264.

V2 firmware controllers only in the register offsets and removes support

This patch instead integrates support for these controllers into the DAC960
driver.

There is a possibility that a bio will be accessed after it has been freed
on SCSI. It happens if you submit a bio with BIO_SYNC marked and the
auto-unplugging kicks the request_fn, SCSI re-enables interrupts in-between
so if the request completes between the add_request() in __make_request()
and the bio_sync() call, we could be looking at a dead bio. It's a slim
race, but it has been triggered in the Real World.
So assign bio_sync() to a local variable instead.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
