Remove the (unsigned long long) cast in diskstats_show() and adjusts the
seq_printf() format string to 'unsigned long'
diskstats_show() uses part_stat_read() to get the stats, which either
accesses the specified field in the struct disk_stats directly (non SMP)
or sums up the per CPU values in a variable of the same type as the field,
so in any case the result will have the same type and range as the
specified field which for all disk_stats entries is unsigned long
Also, for unsigned long ranges the output of %lu should be identical to
the one of %llu, so no change in the actual proc entry contents.

Currently, only open(2) is defined as the 'clearing' point. It has
two roles - first, it's an acknowledgement from userland indicating
that the event has been received and kernel can clear pending states
and proceed to generate more events. Secondly, it's passed on to
device drivers as a hint indicating that a synchronization point has
been reached and it might want to take a deeper look at the device.
The latter currently is only used by sr which uses two different
mechanisms - GET_EVENT_MEDIA_STATUS_NOTIFICATION and TEST_UNIT_READY
to discover events, where the former is lighter weight and safe to be
used repeatedly but may not provide full coverage. Among other
things, GET_EVENT can't detect media removal while TUR can.
This patch makes close(2) - blkdev_put() - indicate clearing hint for
MEDIA_CHANGE to drivers. disk_check_events() is renamed to
disk_flush_events() and updated to take @mask for events to flush
which is or'd to ev->clearing and will be passed to the driver on the
next ->check_events() invocation.
This change makes sr generate MEDIA_CHANGE when media is ejected from
userland - e.g. with eject(1).
Note: Given the current usage, it seems @clearing hint is needlessly
complex. disk_clear_events() can simply clear all events and the hint
can be boolean @flush.

disk_block_events() should guarantee that the event work is not in
flight on return and once blocked it shouldn't issue further
cancellations.
Because there was no synchronization between the first blocker doing
cancel_delayed_work_sync() and the following blockers, the following
blockers could finish before cancellation was complete, which broke
both guarantees - event work could be in flight and cancellation could

This patch is part of fix for triggering of WARN_ON_ONCE() in
disk_clear_events() reported in bug#34662.
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34662
disk_clear_events() blocks events, schedules and flushes the event
work. It expects the work to have started execution on schedule and
finished on return from flush. WARN_ON_ONCE() triggers if the event
work hasn't executed as expected. This problem happens because
__disk_block_events() fails to guarantee that the event work item is
not in flight on return from the function in race-free manner. The
problem is two-fold and this patch addresses one of them.
When __disk_block_events() is called with @sync == %false, it bumps
event block count, calls cancel_delayed_work() and return. This makes
it impossible to guarantee that event polling is not in flight on
return from syncing __disk_block_events() - if the first blocker was
non-syncing, polling could still be in progress and later syncing ones
would assume that the first blocker already canceled it.
Making __disk_block_events() cancel_sync regardless of block count
isn't feasible either as it may race with forced event checking in
disk_clear_events().
As disk_check_events() is the only user of non-syncing
__disk_block_events(), updating it to directly cancel and schedule
event work is the easiest way to solve the issue.
Note that there's another bug in __disk_block_events() and this patch
doesn't fix the issue completely. Later patch will fix the other bug.

9fd097b149 (block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for legacy/fringe
drivers) removed DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE from legacy/fringe block
drivers which have inadequate ->check_events(). Combined with earlier
change 7c88a168da (block: don't propagate unlisted DISK_EVENTs to
userland), this enables using ->check_events() for internal processing
while avoiding enabling in-kernel block event polling which can lead
to infinite event loop.
Unfortunately, this made many drivers including floppy without any bit
set in disk->events and ->async_events in which case disk_add_events()
simply skipped allocation of disk->ev, which disables whole event
handling. As ->check_events() is still used during open processing
for revalidation, this can lead to open failure.
This patch always allocates disk->ev if ->check_events is implemented.
In the long term, it would make sense to simply include the event
structure inline into genhd as it's now used by virtually all block
devices.

DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE is used for both userland visible event and
internal event for revalidation of removeable devices. Some legacy
drivers don't implement proper event detection and continuously
generate events under certain circumstances. For example, ide-cd
generates media changed continuously if there's no media in the drive,
which can lead to infinite loop of events jumping back and forth
between the driver and userland event handler.
This patch updates disk event infrastructure such that it never
propagates events not listed in disk->events to userland. Those
events are processed the same for internal purposes but uevent
generation is suppressed.
This also ensures that userland only gets events which are advertised
in the @events sysfs node lowering risk of confusion.

There are two cases when we call flush_disk.
In one, the device has disappeared (check_disk_change) so any
data will hold becomes irrelevant.
In the oter, the device has changed size (check_disk_size_change)
so data we hold may be irrelevant.
In both cases it makes sense to discard any 'clean' buffers,
so they will be read back from the device if needed.
In the former case it makes sense to discard 'dirty' buffers
as there will never be anywhere safe to write the data. In the
second case it *does*not* make sense to discard dirty buffers
as that will lead to file system corruption when you simply enlarge
the containing devices.
flush_disk calls __invalidate_devices.
__invalidate_device calls both invalidate_inodes and invalidate_bdev.
invalidate_inodes *does* discard I_DIRTY inodes and this does lead
to fs corruption.
invalidate_bev *does*not* discard dirty pages, but I don't really care
about that at present.
So this patch adds a flag to __invalidate_device (calling it
__invalidate_device2) to indicate whether dirty buffers should be
killed, and this is passed to invalidate_inodes which can choose to
skip dirty inodes.
flusk_disk then passes true from check_disk_change and false from
check_disk_size_change.
dm avoids tripping over this problem by calling i_size_write directly
rathher than using check_disk_size_change.
md does use check_disk_size_change and so is affected.
This regression was introduced by commit 608aeef17a which causes
check_disk_size_change to call flush_disk, so it is suitable for any
kernel since 2.6.27.

Its reason is the wrong way of accounting hd_struct->in_flight. 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.
Also add a refcount to struct hd_struct to keep the partition in
memory as long as users exist. We use kref_test_and_get() to ensure
we don't add a reference to a partition which is going away.

Currently, media presence polling for removeable block devices is done
from userland. There are several issues with this.
* Polling is done by periodically opening the device. For SCSI
devices, the command sequence generated by such action involves a
few different commands including TEST_UNIT_READY. This behavior,
while perfectly legal, is different from Windows which only issues
single command, GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION. Unfortunately, some
ATAPI devices lock up after being periodically queried such command
sequences.
* There is no reliable and unintrusive way for a userland program to
tell whether the target device is safe for media presence polling.
For example, polling for media presence during an on-going burning
session can make it fail. The polling program can avoid this by
opening the device with O_EXCL but then it risks making a valid
exclusive user of the device fail w/ -EBUSY.
* Userland polling is unnecessarily heavy and in-kernel implementation
is lighter and better coordinated (workqueue, timer slack).
This patch implements framework for in-kernel disk event handling,
which includes media presence polling.
* bdops->check_events() is added, which supercedes ->media_changed().
It should check whether there's any pending event and return if so.
Currently, two events are defined - DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE and
DISK_EVENT_EJECT_REQUEST. ->check_events() is guaranteed not to be
called parallelly.
* gendisk->events and ->async_events are added. These should be
initialized by block driver before passing the device to add_disk().
The former contains the mask of all supported events and the latter
the mask of all events which the device can report without polling.
/sys/block/*/events[_async] export these to userland.
* Kernel parameter block.events_dfl_poll_msecs controls the system
polling interval (default is 0 which means disable) and
/sys/block/*/events_poll_msecs control polling intervals for
individual devices (default is -1 meaning use system setting). Note
that if a device can report all supported events asynchronously and
its polling interval isn't explicitly set, the device won't be
polled regardless of the system polling interval.
* If a device is opened exclusively with write access, event checking
is automatically disabled until all write exclusive accesses are
released.
* There are event 'clearing' events. For example, both of currently
defined events are cleared after the device has been successfully
opened. This information is passed to ->check_events() callback
using @clearing argument as a hint.
* Event checking is always performed from system_nrt_wq and timer
slack is set to 25% for polling.
* Nothing changes for drivers which implement ->media_changed() but
not ->check_events(). Going forward, all drivers will be converted
to ->check_events() and ->media_change() will be dropped.

the same binary can be used in both cases with just a option

Also the compat code can be still completely disabled by undefining

Commit a9327cac44 added seperate read
and write statistics of in_flight requests. And exported the number
of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.
But Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> reported getting strange
output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and
utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.
So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899
The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
if (now == part->stamp)
return;
- if (part->in_flight) {
+ if (part_in_flight(part)) {
__part_stat_add(cpu, part, time_in_queue,
part_in_flight(part) * (now - part->stamp));
__part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part->stamp));
With this chunk included, the reported regression gets fixed.

This allows subsytems to provide devtmpfs with non-default permissions
for the device node. Instead of the default mode of 0600, null, zero,
random, urandom, full, tty, ptmx now have a mode of 0666, which allows
non-privileged processes to access standard device nodes in case no
other userspace process applies the expected permissions.
This also fixes a wrong assignment in pktcdvd and a checkpatch.pl complain.

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.

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.

/proc/diskstats used to show stats for all disks whether they're
zero-sized or not and their non-zero partitions. Commit
074a7aca7a accidentally changed the
behavior such that it doesn't print out zero sized disks. This patch
implements DISK_PITER_INCL_EMPTY_PART0 flag to partition iterator and
uses it in diskstats_show() such that empty part0 is shown in
/proc/diskstats.

Hi Tejun,
it looks like your commit:
block: don't depend on consecutive minor space
f331c0296f
broke a particular case for booting from partitioned md/raid devices.
That is the second time this has been broken recently. The previous
time was fixed by
block: do_mounts - accept root=<non-existant partition>
30f2f0eb4b
Because the data isn't available when an md device is first created
(we add disks and set it up after creation), the initial partition
scan finds nothing. It is not until the device is opened that
another partition scan happens and finds something.
So at the point where the kernel parameter "root=/dev/md_d0p1" is
being parsed, md_d0 exists, but md_d0p1 does not.
However if we let blk_lookup_devt return the correct device number
even though the device doesn't exist, then the attempt to mount it
will successfully find the partition.
I have tried in the past to find a way to get the partition table to
be read as soon as the array is assembled but that proved impossible
(at the time). I don't remember the details, and could possibly
revisit it. However it would be really nice if blk_lookup_devt
could be adjusted to again accept non existant partitions.

disk_map_sector_rcu() returns a partition from a sector offset,
which we use for IO statistics on a per-partition basis. The
lookup itself is an O(N) list lookup, where N is the number of
partitions. This actually hurts performance quite a bit, even
on the lower end partitions. On higher numbered partitions,
it can get pretty bad.
Solve this by adding a one-hit cache for partition lookup.
This makes the lookup O(1) for the case where we do most IO to
one partition. Even for mixed partition workloads, amortized cost
is pretty close to O(1) since the natural IO batching makes the
one-hit cache last for lots of IOs.

We run into system boot failure with kernel 2.6.28-rc. We found it on a
couple of machines, including T61 notebook, nehalem machine, and another
HPC NX6325 notebook. All the machines use FedoraCore 8 or FedoraCore 9.
With kernel prior to 2.6.28-rc, system boot doesn't fail.
I debug it and locate the root cause. Pls. see
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11899https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=471517
As a matter of fact, there are 2 bugs.
1)root=/dev/sda1, system boot randomly fails. Mostly, boot for 5 times
and fails once. nash has a bug. Some of its functions misuse return
value 0. Sometimes, 0 means timeout and no uevent available. Sometimes,
0 means nash gets an uevent, but the uevent isn't block-related (for
exmaple, usb). If by coincidence, kernel tells nash that uevents are
available, but kernel also set timeout, nash might stops collecting
other uevents in queue if current uevent isn't block-related. I work
out a patch for nash to fix it.
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=18858
2) root=LABEL=/, system always can't boot. initrd init reports
switchroot fails. Here is an executation branch of nash when booting:
(1) nash read /sys/block/sda/dev; Assume major is 8 (on my desktop)
(2) nash query /proc/devices with the major number; It found line
"8 sd";
(3) nash use 'sd' to search its own probe table to find device (DISK)
type for the device and add it to its own list;
(4) Later on, it probes all devices in its list to get filesystem
labels; scsi register "8 sd" always.
When major is 259, nash fails to find the device(DISK) type. I enables
CONFIG_DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT=y when compiling kernel, so 259 is picked up
for device /dev/sda1, which causes nash to fail to find device (DISK)
type.
To fixing issue 2), I create a patch for nash and another patch for
kernel.

Below is the patch for kernel 2.6.28-rc4. It registers blkext, a new
block device in proc/devices.
With 2 patches on nash and 1 patch on kernel, I boot my machines for
dozens of times without failure.
