shared tag queue barrier comment

2007-09-14T20:56:47Z

Should add some comments for the tag barriers (they won't be so important if we can switch over to the explicit _lock bitops, but for now we should make it clear). Jens' original patch said a barrier after the test_and_clear_bit was also required. I can't see why (and it would prevent the use of the _lock bitop).

Fix race with shared tag queue maps

2007-09-13T15:20:25Z

There's a race condition in blk_queue_end_tag() for shared tag maps, users include stex (promise supertrak thingy) and qla2xxx. The former at least has reported bugs in this area, not sure why we haven't seen any for the latter. It could be because the window is narrow and that other conditions in the qla2xxx code hide this. It's a real bug, though, as the stex smp users can attest. We need to ensure two things - the tag bit clearing needs to happen AFTER we cleared the tag pointer, as the tag bit clearing/setting is what protects this map. Secondly, we need to ensure that the visibility of the tag pointer and tag bit clear are ordered properly. [ I removed the SMP barriers - "test_and_clear_bit()" already implies all the required barriers. -- Linus ] Also see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7842 Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Fix remap handling by blktrace

2007-08-11T20:34:48Z

This patch provides more information concerning REMAP operations on block IOs. The additional information provides clearer details at the user level, and supports post-processing analysis in btt. o Adds in partition remaps on the same device. o Fixed up the remap information in DM to be in the right order o Sent up mapped-from and mapped-to device information Signed-off-by: Alan D.

[SCSI] bsg: update sg_io_v4 structure

2007-07-31T15:43:05Z

This updates sg_io_v4 structure (based on Doug's RFC, release 1.3). The major changes are: - add dout_resid field - increase tag size to 64 bits to comply with SAM-4 and SRP - add dout_iovec_count and din_iovec_count dout_iovec_count and din_iovec_count aren't supported now. I'm not sure whether they will be supported or not but they were added for the possible future changes. Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] bsg: Fix build for CONFIG_BLOCK=n

2007-07-28T14:56:06Z

BLK_DEV_BSG was added outside of the if BLOCK check, which allows it to be enabled when CONFIG_BLOCK=n. This leads to many screenlengths of errors, starting with a parse error on the request_queue_t definition. Obviously this wasn't intended for CONFIG_BLOCK=n usage, so just move the option back in to the block. Caught with a randconfig on sh.

[BLOCK] Get rid of request_queue_t typedef

2007-07-24T07:28:11Z

Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with the proper type. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
