We do a check for the operations right before calling dispatch_rw_block_io.
And then we do the same check in dispatch_rw_block_io. This patch
squashes those checks into the 'dispatch_rw_block_io' function.

If one runs a simple fio request with random read/write with a
20%/80% ratio, the numbers are incredibly bad when using the CFQ scheduler.
IOmeter | | | |
64K, randrw | NOOP | CFQ | deadline |
randrwmix=80 | | | |
--------------+-------+------+----------+
blkback |103/27 |32/10 | 102/27 |

QEMU qdisk |103/27 |102/27| 102/27 |
The problem as explained by Vivek Goyal was:
".. that difference is that sync vs async requests. In the case of
a kernel thread submitting IO, [..] all the WRITES might be being
considered as async and will go in a different queue. If you mix those
with some READS, they are always sync and will go in differnet queue.
In presence of sync queue, CFQ will idle and choke up WRITES in
an attempt to improve latencies of READs.
In case of AIO [note: this is what QEMU qdisk is doing] , [..]
it is direct IO and both READS and WRITES will be considered SYNC
and will go in a single queue and no choking of WRITES will take place."
The solution is quite simple, tack on REQ_SYNC (which is
what the WRITE_ODIRECT macro points to) and the numbers go
back up.

We used to the plug/unplug on the submit_bio. But that means
if within a stream of WRITE, WRITE, WRITE,...,WRITE we have
one READ, it could stall the pipeline (as the 'submio_bio'
could trigger the unplug_fnc to be called and stall/sync
when doing the READ). Instead we want to move the unplugging
when the whole (or as a much as possible) ring buffer has been
processed. This also eliminates us doing plug/unplug for
each request.

In commit 95a0f10cdd ("drbd: store in-core bitmap little endian,
regardless of architecture") drbd had made the sane choice to use
little-endian bitmap functions everywhere. However, it used the
horrible old functions names from <asm-generic/bitops/le.h>, that were
never really meant to be exported.
In the meantime, things got cleaned up, and in commit c4945b9ed4
("asm-generic: rename generic little-endian bitops functions") we
renamed the LE bitops to something sane, exactly so that they could be
used in random code without people gouging their eyes out when seeing
the crazy jumble of letters that were the old internal names.
As a result the drbd thing merged cleanly (commit 8d49a77568: "Merge
branch 'for-2.6.39/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block"),
since there was no data conflict - but the end result obviously doesn't
actually compile.

Under certain workloads a command may seem to get lost. IOW, the Smart Array
thinks all commands have been completed but we still have commands in our
completion queue. This may lead to system instability, filesystems going
read-only, or even panics depending on the affected filesystem. We add an
extra read to force the write to complete.
Testing shows this extra read avoids the problem.

When we receive a barrier ack, we walk the ring list of drbd requests
in the transfer log of the respective epoch, do some housekeeping,
and free those objects.
We tried to keep epochs of mirrored and unmirrored drbd requests
separate, and assert that no local-only requests are present in a
barrier_acked epoch.
It turns out that this has quite a number of corner cases and would
add bloated code without functional benefit.
We now revert the (insufficient) commits
drbd: Fixed an issue with AHEAD -> SYNC_SOURCE transitions
drbd: Ensure that an epoch contains only requests of one kind
and instead fix the processing of barrier acks to cope with
a mix of local-only and mirrored requests.

If we fail to send the information that we lost our disk,
we have no connection, and no disk: no access to data anymore.
That is either expected (deconfiguration), or there will be so much
noise in the logs that "Sending state failed" is not useful at all.
Drop it.
If the reason for a shorter than expected receive was a signal,
which we sent because we already decided to disconnect,
these additional log messages are confusing and useless.
This patch follows this pattern:
- dev_warn(DEV, "short read expecting header on sock: r=%d\n", r);
+ if (!signal_pending(current))
+ dev_warn(DEV, "short read expecting header on sock: r=%d\n", r);
Also make them all dev_warn for consistency.

Now that we do no longer in-place endian-swap the bitmap, we allow
selected bitmap operations (testing bits, sometimes even settting bits)
during some bulk operations.
This caused us to hit a lot of FIXME asserts similar to
FIXME asender in drbd_bm_count_bits,
bitmap locked for 'write from resync_finished' by worker
Which now is nonsense: looking at the bitmap is perfectly legal
as long as it is not being resized.
This cosmetic patch defines some flags to describe expectations in finer
detail, so the asserts in e.g. bm_change_bits_to() can be skipped if
appropriate.
