In current code, we are re-reading cic->key after dead cic->key check.
So, in theory, it may really re-read *after* cfq_exit_queue() seted NULL.
To avoid race, we copy it to stack, then use it. With this change, I
guess gcc will assign cic->key to a register or stack, and it wouldn't
be re-readed.

When queue dies, we set cic->key=NULL as dead mark. So, when we
traverse a rbtree, we must check whether it's still valid key. if it
was invalidated, drop it, then restart the traversal from top.

On rmmod path, cfq/as waits to make sure all io-contexts was
freed. However, it's using complete(), not wait_for_completion().
I think barrier() is not enough in here. To avoid the following case,
this patch replaces barrier() with smb_wmb().
cpu0 visibility cpu1
[ioc_gnone=NULL,ioc_count=1]
ioc_gnone = &all_gone NULL,ioc_count=1
atomic_read(&ioc_count) NULL,ioc_count=1
wait_for_completion() NULL,ioc_count=0 atomic_sub_and_test()
NULL,ioc_count=0 if ( && ioc_gone)
[ioc_gone==NULL,
so doesn't call complete()]
&all_gone,ioc_count=0

We currently have two implementations of this obsolete ioctl, one in
the block layer and one in the scsi code. Both of them have drawbacks.
This patch kills the scsi layer version after updating the block version
with the missing bits:
- argument checking
- use scatterlist I/O
- set number of retries based on the submitted command
This is the last user of non-S/G I/O except for the gdth driver, so
getting this in ASAP and through the scsi tree would be nie to kill
the non-S/G I/O path. Jens, what do you think about adding a check
for non-S/G I/O in the midlayer?
Thanks to Or Gerlitz for testing this patch.

The help text says that if you select CONFIG_LBD, then it will automatically
select CONFIG_LFS. That isn't currently the case, so update the text.
- Get rid of the cruft in the help text mentioning CONFIG_LBD
- Tell unsure users to select CONFIG_LFS.
- Remove the `default n'.

The boot cmdline is parsed in parse_early_param() and
parse_args(,unknown_bootoption).
And __setup() is used in obsolete_checksetup().
start_kernel()
-> parse_args()
-> unknown_bootoption()
-> obsolete_checksetup()
If __setup()'s callback (->setup_func()) returns 1 in
obsolete_checksetup(), obsolete_checksetup() thinks a parameter was
handled.
If ->setup_func() returns 0, obsolete_checksetup() tries other
->setup_func(). If all ->setup_func() that matched a parameter returns 0,
a parameter is seted to argv_init[].
Then, when runing /sbin/init or init=app, argv_init[] is passed to the app.
If the app doesn't ignore those arguments, it will warning and exit.
This patch fixes a wrong usage of it, however fixes obvious one only.

Make baby-simple the code for /proc/devices. Based on the proven design
for /proc/interrupts.
This also fixes the early-termination regression 2.6.16 introduced, as
demonstrated by:
# dd if=/proc/devices bs=1
Character devices:
1 mem
27+0 records in
27+0 records out
This should also work (but is untested) when /proc/devices >4096 bytes,
which I believe is what the original 2.6.16 rewrite fixed.

Detect whether a given process is seeky and if so disable (mostly) the
idle window if it is. We still allow just a little idle time, just enough
to allow that process to submit a new request. That is needed to maintain
fairness across priority groups.
In some cases, we could setup several async queues. This is not optimal
from a performance POV, since we want all async io in one queue to perform
good sorting on it. It also impacted sync queues, as async io got too much
slice time.

this is a small optimization to cfq_choose_req() in the CFQ I/O scheduler
(this function is a semi-often invoked candidate in an oprofile log):
by using a bit mask variable, we can use a simple switch() to check
the various cases instead of having to query two variables for each check.
Benefit: 251 vs. 285 bytes footprint of cfq_choose_req().
Also, common case 0 (no request wrapping) is now checked first in code.

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.

Add blkcnt_t as the type of inode.i_blocks. This enables you to make the size
of blkcnt_t either 4 bytes or 8 bytes on 32 bits architecture with CONFIG_LSF.
- CONFIG_LSF
Add new configuration parameter.
- blkcnt_t
On h8300, i386, mips, powerpc, s390 and sh that define sector_t,
blkcnt_t is defined as u64 if CONFIG_LSF is enabled; otherwise it is
defined as unsigned long.
On other architectures, it is defined as unsigned long.
- inode.i_blocks
Change the type from sector_t to blkcnt_t.

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.

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

the bug and simplifies code.
