rbd: fix split bio handling

2011-05-13T20:52:57Z

The rbd driver currently splits bios when they span an object boundary. However, the blk_end_request expects the completions to roll up the results in block device order, and the split rbd/ceph ops can complete in any order. This patch adds a struct rbd_req_coll to track completion of split requests and ensures that the results are passed back up to the block layer in order. This fixes errors where the file system gets completion of a read operation that spans an object boundary before the data has actually arrived. The bug is easily reproduced with iozone with a working set larger than available RAM. Reported-by: Fyodor Ustinov Signed-off-by: Yehuda Sadeh Signed-off-by: Sage Weil

block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for legacy/fringe drivers

2011-04-21T19:33:05Z

In-kernel disk event polling doesn't matter for legacy/fringe drivers and may lead to infinite event loop if ->check_events() implementation generates events on level condition instead of edge. Now that block layer supports suppressing exporting unlisted events, simply leaving disk->events cleared allows these drivers to keep the internal revalidation behavior intact while avoiding weird interactions with userland event handler.

drbd: fix up merge error

2011-03-28T14:42:58Z

In commit 95a0f10cddbf ("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 , that were never really meant to be exported. In the meantime, things got cleaned up, and in commit c4945b9ed472 ("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 8d49a77568d1: "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.

cciss: fix lost command issue

2011-03-23T19:47:11Z

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. Signed-off-by: Mike Miller Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
