There is an old bug in the pkt_count_states() function that causes stack
corruption. When compiling with gcc 3.x or 2.x it is harmless, but gcc 4
allocates local variables differently, which makes the bug visible.

A few more callers of permission() just want to check for a different access
pattern on an already open file. This patch adds a wrapper for permission()
that takes a file in preparation of per-mount read-only support and to clean
up the callers a little. The helper is not intended for new code, everything
without the interface set in stone should use vfs_permission()

This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h. The 3

A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.
There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not

the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

Evgeny Stambulchik found that doing the following always worked:
# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/
mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
# mount -o remount,rw /mnt/floppy
# echo $?
0
This is the case because the block device /dev/fd0 is writeable but the
floppy disk is marked protected. A fix is to simply have floppy_open mark
the underlying gendisk policy according to reality (since the VFS doesn't
provide a way for do_remount_sb to inquire as to the current device

Introduce the notion of cooperating processes (those that submit requests
close to one another), and use these statistics to make better choices about
whether or not to do anticipatory waiting.
Help and analysis from Seetharami Seelam <seelam@cs.utep.edu>
Performance testing from Seelam:
I set up my system and executed a couple of tests that I used for OLS. I
tested with AS, cooperative process patch merged in -mm tree (which I called
Nick, below) and the cooperative patch with modifications to as_update_iohist
(which I called Seelam).
I used a dual-processor (2.28GHz Pentium 4 Xeon) system, with 1 GB main memory
and 1 MB L2 cache, running Linux 2.6.9. Only a single processor is used for
the experiments. I used 7.2K RPM Maxtor 10GB drive configured with ext2 file
system.
Experiment 1 (ex1) consists of reading one Linux source trees using
find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null.
Experiment 2 (ex2) consists of reading two disjoint Linux source trees
using
find . -type f -exec cat '{}' ';' > /dev/null.
Experiment 3 (ex3) consists of streaming read of a 2GB file in the background
and 1 instance of the chunk reads in Experiment 1.
Timings for reading the Linux source are shown below:
AS Nick Seelam
ex1: 0m25.813s 0m27.859s 0m27.640s
ex2: 1m11.468s 1m13.918s 1m5.869s
ex3: 81m44.352s 10m38.572s 6m47.994s
The difference between the numbers in Experiment 3 must be due to the code in
as_update_iohist. (akpm: that's not part of this patch. So this patch is
"Nick").

cfq's add_req_fn callback may invoke q->request_fn directly and
depending on low-level driver used and timing, a queued request may be
finished & deallocated before add_req_fn callback returns. So,
__elv_add_request must not access rq after it's passed to add_req_fn
callback.
This patch moves rq_mergeable test above add_req_fn(). This may
result in q->last_merge pointing to REQ_NOMERGE request if add_req_fn
callback sets it but as RQ_NOMERGE is checked again when blk layer
actually tries to merge requests, this does not cause any problem.

Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two
into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch
several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the

Tejun Heo notes:
"I'm currently debugging this. The problem is that we are using the
generic dispatch queue directly in the noop sched and merging is NOT
allowed on dispatch queues but generic handling of last_merge tries
to merge requests. I'm still trying to verify this, so I'll be back
with results soon."
In the meantime, disable merging for noop by setting REQ_NOMERGE in
elevator_noop_add_request().
Eventually, we should add a noop_list and do the dispatching like in the
other io schedulers. Merging is still beneficial for noop (and it has
always done it).

I recently picked up my older work to remove unnecessary #includes of
sched.h, starting from a patch by Dave Jones to not include sched.h
from module.h. This reduces the number of indirect includes of sched.h
by ~300. Another ~400 pointless direct includes can be removed after
this disentangling (patch to follow later).
However, quite a few indirect includes need to be fixed up for this.
In order to feed the patches through -mm with as little disturbance as
possible, I've split out the fixes I accumulated up to now (complete for
i386 and x86_64, more archs to follow later) and post them before the real
patch. This way this large part of the patch is kept simple with only
adding #includes, and all hunks are independent of each other. So if any
hunk rejects or gets in the way of other patches, just drop it. My scripts
will pick it up again in the next round.

as-iosched deals with aliased requests differently from other ioscheds.
It links together aliased requests using rq->queuelist instead of
spilling alises to dispatch queue like other ioscheds do. Requests
linked in this way cannot be merged.
Unfortunately, generic q->last_merge handling patch didn't take this

resulting in Badness, corrupt list and eventually panic.

This patch reimplements elevator switch. This patch assumes generic
dispatch queue patchset is applied.
* Each request is tagged with REQ_ELVPRIV flag if it has its elevator
private data set.
* Requests which doesn't have REQ_ELVPRIV flag set never enter
iosched. They are always directly back inserted to dispatch queue.
Of course, elevator_put_req_fn is called only for requests which
have its REQ_ELVPRIV set.
* Request queue maintains the current number of requests which have
its elevator data set (elevator_set_req_fn called) in
q->rq->elvpriv.
* If a request queue has QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS set, elevator private data
is not allocated for new requests.
To switch to another iosched, we set QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS and wait until
elvpriv goes to zero; then, we attach the new iosched and clears
QUEUE_FLAG_BYPASS. New implementation is much simpler and main code
paths are less cluttered, IMHO.

This patch updates all four ioscheds to use generic dispatch
queue. There's one behavior change in as-iosched.
* In as-iosched, when force dispatching
(ELEVATOR_INSERT_BACK), batch_data_dir is reset to REQ_SYNC
and changed_batch and new_batch are cleared to zero. This
prevernts AS from doing incorrect update_write_batch after
the forced dispatched requests are finished.
* In cfq-iosched, cfqd->rq_in_driver currently counts the
number of activated (removed) requests to determine
whether queue-kicking is needed and cfq_max_depth has been
reached. With generic dispatch queue, I think counting
the number of dispatched requests would be more appropriate.
* cfq_max_depth can be lowered to 1 again.

duplicat names but the fw folks wanted this for the different implementations.
Even though the same ASIC is used it may be embedded on some platforms,
standup card in others, and a mezzanine in other servers.

The reference count fix merged isn't fully bug free. It doesn't leak
now, but instead it crashes due to looking at freed memory. So for now,
lets reverse the change and I'll fix it for real next week.

Use msleep() or msleep_interruptible() [as appropriate] instead of
schedule_timeout() to gurantee the task delays as expected. As a result
changed the units of the timeout variable from jiffies to msecs.

This patch does a full cleanup of 'NULL checks before vfree', and a partial
cleanup of calls to kfree for all of drivers/ - the kfree bit is partial in
that I only did the files that also had vfree calls in them. The patch
also gets rid of some redundant (void *) casts of pointers being passed to
[vk]free, and a some tiny whitespace corrections also crept in.

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.
Changelog:
- mark SCSI opcode 0x37 (READ DEFECT DATA) as
safe_for_read
