143a87f4c9 block: improve flush bio completion
bio's for flush are completed twice - once during the data phase and
one more time after the whole sequence is complete.  The first
completion shouldn't notify completion to the issuer.

This was achieved by skipping all bio completion steps in
req_bio_endio() for the first completion; however, this has two
drawbacks.

* Error is not recorded in bio and must be tracked somewhere else.

* Partial completion is not supported.

Both don't cause problems for the current users; however, they make
further improvements difficult.  Change req_bio_endio() such that it
only skips the actual notification part for the first completion.  bio
completion is implemented with partial completions on mind anyway so
this is as simple as moving the REQ_FLUSH_SEQ conditional such that
only calling of bio_endio() is skipped.

414b4ff5ee block: add REQ_FLUSH_SEQ
rq == &q->flush_rq was used to determine whether a rq is part of a
flush sequence, which worked because all requests in a flush sequence
were sequenced using the single dedicated request.  This is about to
change, so introduce REQ_FLUSH_SEQ flag to distinguish flush sequence
requests.

This patch doesn't cause any behavior change.

6a108a14fa kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT
The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.

This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel.  A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).

Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

be2c6b1990 blkio-throttle: Avoid calling blkiocg_lookup_group() for root group
o Jeff Moyer was doing some testing on a RAM backed disk and
  blkiocg_lookup_group() showed up high overhead after memcpy(). Similarly
  somebody else reported that blkiocg_lookup_group() is eating 6% extra
  cpu. Though looking at the code I can't think why the overhead of
  this function is so high. One thing is that it is called with very high
  frequency (once for every IO).

o For lot of folks blkio controller will be compiled in but they might
  not have actually created cgroups. Hence optimize the case of root
  cgroup where we can avoid calling blkiocg_lookup_group() if IO is happening
  in root group (common case).

cfq830 is an async queue, and preempted by a sync queue cfq874. But since we
have cfqg->saved_workload_slice mechanism, the preempt is a nop.
Looks currently our preempt is totally broken if the two queues are not from
the same workload type.
Below patch fixes it. This will might make async queue starvation, but it's
what our old code does before cgroup is added.

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.

e692cb668f block: Deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use queue_limits instead
When stacking devices, a request_queue is not always available. This
forced us to have a no_cluster flag in the queue_limits that could be
used as a carrier until the request_queue had been set up for a
metadevice.

There were several problems with that approach. First of all it was up
to the stacking device to remember to set queue flag after stacking had
completed. Also, the queue flag and the queue limits had to be kept in
sync at all times. We got that wrong, which could lead to us issuing
commands that went beyond the max scatterlist limit set by the driver.

The proper fix is to avoid having two flags for tracking the same thing.
We deprecate QUEUE_FLAG_CLUSTER and use the queue limit directly in the
block layer merging functions. The queue_limit 'no_cluster' is turned
into 'cluster' to avoid double negatives and to ease stacking.
Clustering defaults to being enabled as before. The queue flag logic is
removed from the stacking function, and explicitly setting the cluster
flag is no longer necessary in DM and MD.

77ea887e43 implement in-kernel gendisk events handling
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.

fault if an LLD is removed while an application is using an open file
handle to a bsg device, and the application issues an ioctl. The fault
occurs because the class_dev is NULL, having been cleared in
bsg_unregister_queue() when the driver was removed.  With this

will receive ENXIO if the related object is gone.

04a6b516cd blk-throttle: Correct the placement of smp_rmb()
o I was discussing what are the variable being updated without spin lock and
  why do we need barriers and Oleg pointed out that location of smp_rmb()
  should be between read of td->limits_changed and tg->limits_changed. This
  patch fixes it.

o Following is one possible sequence of events. Say cpu0 is executing
  throtl_update_blkio_group_read_bps() and cpu1 is executing
  throtl_process_limit_change().

 cpu0                                                cpu1

 tg->limits_changed = true;
 smp_mb__before_atomic_inc();
 atomic_inc(&td->limits_changed);

                                     if (!atomic_read(&td->limits_changed))
                                             return;

                                     if (tg->limits_changed)
                                             do_something;

 If cpu0 has updated tg->limits_changed and td->limits_changed, we want to
 make sure that if update to td->limits_changed is visible on cpu1, then
 update to tg->limits_changed should also be visible.

 Oleg pointed out to ensure that we need to insert an smp_rmb() between
 td->limits_changed read and tg->limits_changed read.

o I had erroneously put smp_rmb() before atomic_read(&td->limits_changed).
  This patch fixes it.

d1ae8ffdfa blk-throttle: Trim/adjust slice_end once a bio has been dispatched
o During some testing I did following and noticed throttling stops working.

        - Put a very low limit on a cgroup, say 1 byte per second.
        - Start some reads, this will set slice_end to a very high value.
        - Change the limit to higher value say 1MB/s
        - Now IO unthrottles and finishes as expected.
        - Try to do the read again but IO is not limited to 1MB/s as expected.

o What is happening.
        - Initially low value of limit sets slice_end to a very high value.
        - During updation of limit, slice_end is not being truncated.
        - Very high value of slice_end leads to keeping the existing slice
          valid for a very long time and new slice does not start.
        - tg_may_dispatch() is called in blk_throtle_bio(), and trim_slice()
          is not called in this path. So slice_start is some old value and
          practically we are able to do huge amount of IO.

o There are many ways it can be fixed. I have fixed it by trying to
  adjust/cleanup slice_end in trim_slice(). Generally we extend slices if bio
  is big and can't be dispatched in one slice. After dispatch of bio, readjust
  the slice_end to make sure we don't end up with huge values.

commit 9284bcf checks for proper length of iov entries in

bdc85df7a8 blk-cgroup: Allow creation of hierarchical cgroups
o Allow hierarchical cgroup creation for blkio controller

o Currently we disallow it as both the io controller policies (throttling
  as well as proportion bandwidth) do not support hierarhical accounting
  and control. But the flip side is that blkio controller can not be used with
  libvirt as libvirt creates a cgroup hierarchy deeper than 1 level.

  <top-level-cgroup-dir>/<controller>/libvirt/qemu/<virtual-machine-groups>

o So this patch will allow creation of cgroup hierarhcy but at the backend
  everything will be treated as flat. So if somebody created a an hierarchy
  like as follows.

			root
			/  \
		     test1 test2
			|
		     test3

  CFQ and throttling will practically treat all groups at same level.

				pivot
			     /  |   \  \
			root  test1 test2  test3

o Once we have actual support for hierarchical accounting and control
  then we can introduce another cgroup tunable file "blkio.use_hierarchy"
  which will be 0 by default but if user wants to enforce hierarhical
  control then it can be set to 1. This way there should not be any
  ABI problems down the line.

o The only not so pretty part is introduction of extra file "use_hierarchy"
  down the line. Kame-san had mentioned that hierarhical accounting is
  expensive in memory controller hence they keep it off by default. I
  suspect same will be the case for IO controller also as for each IO
  completion we shall have to account IO through hierarchy up to the root.
  if yes, then it probably is not a very bad idea to introduce this extra
  file so that it will be used only when somebody needs it and some people
  might enable hierarchy only in part of the hierarchy.

o This is how basically memory controller also uses "use_hierarhcy" and
  they also allowed creation of hierarchies when actual backend support
  was not available.

e525fd89d3 block: make blkdev_get/put() handle exclusive access
Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev
open, close, claim and release.

* blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions.

* bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open.

* open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and
  the other way around, respectively.

* bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave
  symlinks.

* open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get().

The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim
makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as
in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive
open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another
exclusive access.  Reorganize the interface such that,

* blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management.
  @holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will
  gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses.

* blkdev_put() is similarly extended.  It now takes @mode argument and
  if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access.  Also, when
  the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are
  removed automatically.

* bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer
  necessary and either made static or removed.

* bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder()
  is no longer necessary and removed.

* open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev()
  and blkdev_get().  It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only()
  test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get().

* open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to
  blkdev_get().

Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put()
and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as
it should).  This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and
invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases.

open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup -
rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop
special features.  Well, let's leave them for another day.

Most conversions are straight-forward.  drbd conversion is a bit more
involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the
same.

If a deep seek queue slowly deliver requests but disk is much faster, idle
for the queue just wastes disk throughput. If the queue delevers all requests
before half its slice is used, the patch disable idle for it.
In my test, application delivers 32 requests one time, the disk can accept
128 requests at maxium and disk is fast. without the patch, the throughput
is just around 30m/s, while with it, the speed is about 80m/s. The disk is
a SSD, but is detected as a rotational disk. I can configure it as SSD, but
I thought the deep seek queue logic should be fixed too, for example,
considering a fast raid.

e52eec13cd SYSFS: Allow boot time switching between deprecated and modern sysfs layout
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.

b4627321e1 cfq-iosched: Fix a gcc 4.5 warning and put some comments
- Andi encountedred following warning with gcc 4.5

  linux/block/cfq-iosched.c: In function ‘cfq_dispatch_requests’:
  linux/block/cfq-iosched.c:2156:3: warning: array subscript is above array
  bounds

- Warning happens due to following code.

  slice = group_slice * count /
		max_t(unsigned, cfqg->busy_queues_avg[cfqd->serving_prio],
		cfq_group_busy_queues_wl(cfqd->serving_prio, cfqd, cfqg));

  gcc is complaining about cfqg->busy_queues_avg[] being indexed by CFQ
  prio classes (RT, BE and IDLE) while the array size is only 2.

- At run time, we never access cfqg->busy_queues_avg[IDLE] and return from
  function before this code hits.

- To fix warning increase the array size though it will remain unused. This
  patch also puts some comments to clarify some of the confusions.

- I have taken Jens's patch and modified it a bit.

- Compile tested with gcc 4.4 and boot tested. I don't have gcc 4.5
  running, Andi can you please test it with gcc 4.5 to make sure it
  worked.

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.

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.

6038f373a3 llseek: automatically add .llseek fop
All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.

The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.

New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time.  Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.

The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.

Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.

Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.

430c62fb29 elevator: fix oops on early call to elevator_change()
2.6.36 introduces an API for drivers to switch the IO scheduler
instead of manually calling the elevator exit and init functions.
This API was added since q->elevator must be cleared in between
those two calls. And since we already have this functionality
directly from use by the sysfs interface to switch schedulers
online, it was prudent to reuse it internally too.

But this API needs the queue to be in a fully initialized state
before it is called, or it will attempt to unregister elevator
kobjects before they have been added. This results in an oops
like this:

2a48fc0ab2 block: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel
calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers
were already using the BKL before.

This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
Still need to check whether this is safe to do.

c49c06e496 blkio-throttle: Fix possible multiplication overflow in iops calculations
o User can specify max iops value of 32bit (UINT_MAX), through cgroup
  interface. If a user has specified say 4294967294 (UNIT_MAX  - 2), then
  on 32bit platform, following multiplication can overflow.

  io_allowed = (tg->iops[rw] * jiffy_elapsed_rnd)

o Explicitly cast the multiplication to 64bit and then perform division and
  then check whether result is still great then UNINT_MAX.

fe0714377e blkio: Recalculate the throttled bio dispatch time upon throttle limit change
o Currently any cgroup throttle limit changes are processed asynchronousy and
  the change does not take affect till a new bio is dispatched from same group.

o It might happen that a user sets a redicuously low limit on throttling.
  Say 1 bytes per second on reads. In such cases simple operations like mount
  a disk can wait for a very long time.

o Once bio is throttled, there is no easy way to come out of that wait even if
  user increases the read limit later.

o This patch fixes it. Now if a user changes the cgroup limits, we recalculate
  the bio dispatch time according to new limits.

o Can't take queueu lock under blkcg_lock, hence after the change I wake
  up the dispatch thread again which recalculates the time. So there are some
  variables being synchronized across two threads without lock and I had to
  make use of barriers. Hoping I have used barriers correctly. Any review of
  memory barrier code especially will help.

Add logic to prevent two I/O requests being merged if
only one of them is a discard.  Ditto secure discard.

Without this fix, it is possible for write requests
to transform into discard requests.  For example:

  Submit bio 1 to discard 8 sectors from sector n
  Submit bio 2 to write 8 sectors from sector n + 16
  Submit bio 3 to write 8 sectors from sector n + 8

Bio 1 becomes request 1.  Bio 2 becomes request 2.
Bio 3 is merged with request 2, and then subsequently
request 2 is merged with request 1 resulting in just
one I/O request which discards all 24 sectors.

The problem here is that we don't have bdi->dev information available when
thread does some IO.  Hence when dev_name() tries to access bdi->dev, it
crashes.

This problem does not happen if kernel threads are in root group as root
group is statically allocated at device initialization time and we don't
hit this piece of code.

Fix it by delaying the filling of major and minor number information of
device in blk_group.  Initially a blk_group is created with 0 as device
information and this information is filled later once some more IO comes
in from same group.

749ef9f842 cfq: improve fsync performance for small files
Fsync performance for small files achieved by cfq on high-end disks is
lower than what deadline can achieve, due to idling introduced between
the sync write happening in process context and the journal commit.

Moreover, when competing with a sequential reader, a process writing
small files and fsync-ing them is starved.

This patch fixes the two problems by:
- marking journal commits as WRITE_SYNC, so that they get the REQ_NOIDLE
  flag set,
- force all queues that have REQ_NOIDLE requests to be put in the noidle
  tree.

Having the queue associated to the fsync-ing process and the one associated
 to journal commits in the noidle tree allows:
- switching between them without idling,
- fairness vs. competing idling queues, since they will be serviced only
  after the noidle tree expires its slice.

dd3932eddf block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT
All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous
caller.  To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs
to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
state machine ahead.  So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout.  For
blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

When a new disk is being discovered, add_disk() first ties the bdev to gendisk
(via register_disk()->blkdev_get()) and only after that calls
bdi_register_bdev(). Because register_disk() also creates disk's kobject, it
can happen that userspace manages to open and modify the device's data (or
inode) before its BDI is properly initialized leading to a warning in
__mark_inode_dirty().

Fix the problem by registering BDI early enough.

This is the third patch in a series which adds support for
storing partition metadata, optionally, off of the hd_struct.

One major use for that data is being able to resolve partition
by other identities than just the index on a block device.  Device
enumeration varies by platform and there's a benefit to being able
to use something like EFI GPT's GUIDs to determine the correct
block device and partition to mount as the root.

This change adds that support to root= by adding support for
the following syntax:
