2010-10-22SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layoutAndi Kleen
I have some systems which need legacy sysfs due to old tools that are making assumptions that a directory can never be a symlink to another directory, and it's a big hazzle to compile separate kernels for them. This patch turns CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED into a run time option that can be switched on/off the kernel command line. This way the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option on the command line. The old CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_V2 option is still there to set the default. I kept the weird name to not break existing config files. Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED_SWITCH -- just the optimizer takes care of this now instead of lots of ifdefs. This makes the code look nicer. v2: This is an updated version on top of Kay's patch to only handle the block devices. I tested it on my old systems and that seems to work.

When a bio is merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE. The detailed root cause is as follows. Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2. 1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight is 0 and sda2's one is 1. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | 0 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- 2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's hd_struct->in_flight are not changed. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | 0 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- 3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case, sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented. | hd_struct->in_flight --------------------------- sda1 | -1 sda2 | 1 --------------------------- The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on the number of lookups we have to do. When reloading partition tables, quiesce IO to ensure that no request references to the partition struct exists. When it is safe to free the partition table, the IO for that device is restarted again.

Partition boundary calculation fails for DASD FBA disks under the following conditions: - disk is formatted with CMS FORMAT with a blocksize of more than 512 bytes - all of the disk is reserved to a single CMS file using CMS RESERVE - the disk is accessed using the DIAG mode of the DASD driver Under these circumstances, the partition detection code tries to read the CMS label block containing partition-relevant information from logical block offset 1, while it is in fact located at physical block offset 1.

2010-05-21block: improve automatic native capacity unlockingTejun Heo
Currently, native capacity unlocking is initiated only when a recognized partition extends beyond the end of the disk. However, there are several other unhandled cases where truncated capacity can lead to misdetection of partitions. * Partition table is fully beyond EOD. * Partition table is partially beyond EOD (daisy chained ones). * Recognized partition starts beyond EOD. This patch updates generic partition check code such that all the above three cases are handled too. For the first two, @state tracks whether low level partition check code tried to read beyond EOD during partition scan and triggers native capacity unlocking accordingly. The third is now handled similarly to the original unlocking case. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Ben Hutchings <ben@decadent.org.uk> Acked-by: David S.

2010-05-21block: use struct parsed_partitions *state universally in partition check codeTejun Heo
Make the following changes to partition check code. * Add ->bdev to struct parsed_partitions. * Introduce read_part_sector() which is a simple wrapper around read_dev_sector() which takes struct parsed_partitions *state instead of @bdev. * For functions which used to take @state and @bdev, drop @bdev. For functions which used to take @bdev, replace it with @state. * While updating, drop superflous checks on NULL state/bdev in ldm.c. This cleans up the API a bit and enables better handling of IO errors during partition check as the generic partition check code now has much better visibility into what went wrong in the low level code paths.

2010-05-21block,ide: simplify bdops->set_capacity() to ->unlock_native_capacity()Tejun Heo
bdops->set_capacity() is unnecessarily generic. All that's required is a simple one way notification to lower level driver telling it to try to unlock native capacity. There's no reason to pass in target capacity or return the new capacity. The former is always the inherent native capacity and the latter can be handled via the usual device resize / revalidation path. In fact, the current API is always used that way. Replace ->set_capacity() with ->unlock_native_capacity() which take only @disk and doesn't return anything. IDE which is the only current user of the API is converted accordingly.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

In order to use disks larger than 2TiB on Windows XP, it is necessary to use 4096-byte logical sectors in an MBR. Although the kernel storage and functions called from msdos.c used "sector_t" internally, msdos.c still used u32 variables, which results in the ability to handle XP-compatible large disks.

2009-09-14Seperate read and write statistics of in_flight requestsNikanth Karthikesan
Currently, there is a single in_flight counter measuring the number of requests in the request_queue. But some monitoring tools would like to know how many read requests and write requests are in progress. Split the current in_flight counter into two seperate counters for read and write. This information is exported as a sysfs attribute, as changing the currently available stat files would break the existing tools.

Together with the consecutive patch implementing ->set_capacity method in ide-gd device driver this allows automatic disabling of Host Protected Area (HPA) if any partitions overlapping HPA are detected.

2009-05-22block: Export I/O topology for block devices and partitionsMartin K. Petersen
To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we need to ensure proper alignment. This patch adds support for exposing I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked. logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address. physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write without incurring a read-modify-write penalty. The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by the device. In many cases this is the same as the physical block size. However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking (RAID5 chunk size > physical block size). The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by the device. This is usually the stripe width for arrays. The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment. Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets so filesystems start on proper boundaries. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

2009-05-22block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size and the logical ditto. This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

The dasd device driver will now support ECKD devices with more then 65520 cylinders. In the traditional ECKD adressing scheme each track is addressed by a 16-bit cylinder and 16-bit head number. The new addressing scheme makes use of the fact that the actual number of heads is never larger then 15, so 12 bits of the head number can be redefined to be part of the cylinder address.

2009-03-24Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobjectMing Lei
This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it from struct device, based on the following ideas: 1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way, we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject. 2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object) This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject as private part of struct device in future.

2009-01-26blktrace: add ftrace pluginArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Impact: New way of using the blktrace infrastructure This drops the requirement of userspace utilities to use the blktrace facility. Configuration is done thru sysfs, adding a "trace" directory to the partition directory where blktrace can be enabled for the associated request_queue. The same filters present in the IOCTL interface are present as sysfs device attributes. The /sys/block/sdX/sdXN/trace/enable file allows tracing without any filters. The other files in this directory: pid, act_mask, start_lba and end_lba can be used with the same meaning as with the IOCTL interface. Using the sysfs interface will only setup the request_queue->blk_trace fields, tracing will only take place when the "blk" tracer is selected via the ftrace interface, as in the following example: To see the trace, one can use the /d/tracing/trace file or the /d/tracign/trace_pipe file, with semantics defined in the ftrace documentation in Documentation/ftrace.txt.

It was introduced by a6f23657d3072bde6844055bbc2290e497f33fbc block: add one-hit cache for disk partition lookup and has the effect of killing my machine whenever I try to assemble an md array :-( One of the devices in the array has partitions, and mdadm always deletes partitions before putting a whole-device in an array (as it can cause confusion). The next IO to that device locks the machine. I don't really understand exactly why it locks up, but it happens in disk_map_sector_rcu(). This patch fixes it. Which is due to a missing clear of the (now) stale partition lookup data. So clear that when we delete a partition. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
