29417b899a Make BLK_DEV_BSG depend strictly on SCSI=y
The SCSI code can be compiled modular, but BLK_DEV_BSG currently cannot,
and depends on the SCSI layer.  So make sure that it depends on the SCSI
layer being compiled in, not just available as a module.

Noticed by Jeff Garzik and S.Çağlar Onur.

abce891a10 Fix new generic block device SG compile
We had a merge issue with the "dentry" field going away from the
kobject, and being replaced by a sysfs_dirent field (named "sd")
instead.  That broke the BSG compile.

292b7f2712 improve bsg device allocation
This patch addresses on two issues on bsg device allocation.

- the current maxium number of bsg devices is 256. It's too small if
we allocate bsg devices to all SCSI devices, transport entities, etc.
This increses the maxium number to 32768 (taken from the sg driver).

- SCSI devices are dynamically added and removed. Currently, bsg can't
handle it well since bsd_device->minor is simply increased.

This is dependent on the patchset that I posted yesterday:

This patch binds bsg to all SCSI devices (their request queues) like
the current sg driver does. We can send SCSI commands to non disk and
cdrom scsi devices like OSD via bsg.

This patch removes bsg_register_queue from blk_register_queue so bsg
devices aren't bound to non SCSI block devices. If they want bsg, I'll
send a patch to do that.

45e79a3acd bsg: add a request_queue argument to scsi_cmd_ioctl()
bsg uses scsi_cmd_ioctl() for some SCSI/sg ioctl
commands. scsi_cmd_ioctl() gets a request queue from a gendisk
arguement. This prevents bsg being bound to SCSI devices that don't
have a gendisk (like OSD). This adds a request_queue argument to
scsi_cmd_ioctl(). The SCSI/sg ioctl commands doesn't use a gendisk so
it's safe for any SCSI devices to use scsi_cmd_ioctl().

f4b09303d0 [BLOCK] drop unnecessary bvec rewinding from flush_dry_bio_endio
Barrier bios are completed twice - once after the barrier write itself
is done and again after the whole sequence is complete.
flush_dry_bio_endio() is for the first completion.  It doesn't really
complete the bio.  It rewinds bvec and resets bio so that it can be
completed again when the whole barrier sequence is complete.

The bvec rewinding code has the following problems.

1. The rewinding code is wrong because filesystems may pass bvec with
   non zero bv_offset.

2. The block layer doesn't guarantee anything about the state of
   bvec array on request completion.  bv_offset and len are updated
   iff __end_that_request_first() completes the bvec partially.

Because of #2, #1 doesn't really matter (nobody cares whether bvec is
re-wound correctly or not) but then again by not doing unwinding at
all, we'll always give back the same bvec to the caller as full bvec
completion doesn't alter bvecs and the final completion is always full
completion.

Drop unnecessary rewinding code.

This is spotted by Neil Brown.

bc90ba093a block: always requeue !fs requests at the front
SCSI marks internal commands with REQ_PREEMPT and push it at the front
of the request queue using blk_execute_rq().  When entering suspended
or frozen state, SCSI devices are quiesced using
scsi_device_quiesce().  In quiesced state, only REQ_PREEMPT requests
are processed.  This is how SCSI blocks other requests out while
suspending and resuming.  As all internal commands are pushed at the
front of the queue, this usually works.

Unfortunately, this interacts badly with ordered requeueing.  To
preserve request order on requeueing (due to busy device, active EH or
other failures), requests are sorted according to ordered sequence on
requeue if IO barrier is in progress.

The following sequence deadlocks.

1. IO barrier sequence issues.

2. Suspend requested.  Queue is quiesced with part or all of IO
   barrier sequence at the front.

3. During suspending or resuming, SCSI issues internal command which
   gets deferred and requeued for some reason.  As the command is
   issued after the IO barrier in #1, ordered requeueing code puts the
   request after IO barrier sequence.

4. The device is ready to process requests again but still is in
   quiesced state and the first request of the queue isn't
   REQ_PREEMPT, so command processing is deadlocked -
   suspending/resuming waits for the issued request to complete while
   the request can't be processed till device is put back into
   running state by resuming.

This can be fixed by always putting !fs requests at the front when
requeueing.

The following thread reports this deadlock.

d89d87965d When stacked block devices are in-use (e.g. md or dm), the recursive calls
to generic_make_request can use up a lot of space, and we would rather they
didn't.

As generic_make_request is a void function, and as it is generally not
expected that it will have any effect immediately, it is safe to delay any
call to generic_make_request until there is sufficient stack space
available.

As ->bi_next is reserved for the driver to use, it can have no valid value
when generic_make_request is called, and as __make_request implicitly
assumes it will be NULL (ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE fork of switch) we can be
certain that all callers set it to NULL.  We can therefore safely use
bi_next to link pending requests together, providing we clear it before
making the real call.

So, we choose to allow each thread to only be active in one
generic_make_request at a time.  If a subsequent (recursive) call is made,
the bio is linked into a per-thread list, and is handled when the active
call completes.

As the list of pending bios is per-thread, there are no locking issues to
worry about.

I say above that it is "safe to delay any call...".  There are, however,
some behaviours of a make_request_fn which would make it unsafe.  These
include any behaviour that assumes anything will have changed after a
recursive call to generic_make_request.

These could include:
 - waiting for that call to finish and call it's bi_end_io function.
   md use to sometimes do this (marking the superblock dirty before
   completing a write) but doesn't any more
 - inspecting the bio for fields that generic_make_request might
   change, such as bi_sector or bi_bdev.  It is hard to see a good
   reason for this, and I don't think anyone actually does it.
 - inspecing the queue to see if, e.g. it is 'full' yet.  Again, I
   think this is very unlikely to be useful, or to be done.

Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> said:

 I can see nothing wrong with this in principle.

 For device-mapper at the moment though it's essential that, while the bio
 mappings may now get delayed, they still get processed in exactly
 the same order as they were passed to generic_make_request().

 My main concern is whether the timing changes implicit in this patch
 will make the rare data-corrupting races in the existing snapshot code
 more likely. (I'm working on a fix for these races, but the unfinished
 patch is already several hundred lines long.)

 It would be helpful if some people on this mailing list would test
 this patch in various scenarios and report back.

8bb7844286 Add suspend-related notifications for CPU hotplug
Since nonboot CPUs are now disabled after tasks and devices have been
frozen and the CPU hotplug infrastructure is used for this purpose, we need
special CPU hotplug notifications that will help the CPU-hotplug-aware
subsystems distinguish normal CPU hotplug events from CPU hotplug events
related to a system-wide suspend or resume operation in progress.  This
patch introduces such notifications and causes them to be used during
suspend and resume transitions.  It also changes all of the
CPU-hotplug-aware subsystems to take these notifications into consideration
(for now they are handled in the same way as the corresponding "normal"
ones).

Also, rename flush_work() to cancel_work_sync() and fix all callers.
Perhaps this is not the best name, but "flush_work" is really bad.

821de3a27b [PATCH] ll_rw_blk: fix missing bounce in blk_rq_map_kern()
I think we might just need the blk_map_kern users now. For the async
execute I added the bounce code already and the block SG_IO has it
atleady. I think the blk_map_kern bounce code got dropped because we
thought the correct gfp_t would be passed in. But I think all we need is
the patch below and all the paths are take care of. The patch is not
tested. Patch was made against scsi-misc.

The last place that is sending non sg commands may just be md/dm-emc.c
but that is is just waiting on alasdair to take some patches that fix
that and a bunch of junk in there including adding bounce support. If
the patch below is ok though and dm-emc finally gets converted then it
will have sg and bonce buffer support.

0a31bd5f2b KMEM_CACHE(): simplify slab cache creation
This patch provides a new macro

KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>)

to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the
struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct.
Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary.

Example

struct test_slab {
	int a,b,c;
	struct list_head;
} __cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC)

will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct
test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab.  If it fails then we
panic.

823bccfc40 remove "struct subsystem" as it is no longer needed
We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and
ktypes.  The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this,
especially as it is not really needed at all.

Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch.
