Remove blkdev warning triggered by using md

2008-05-15T02:11:15Z

As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock, get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits. For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock. Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us q->__queue_lock. So always initialise that lock when allocated. With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held. Thanks to Dan Williams for review and fixing the silly bugs. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown Cc: Dan Williams Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Alistair John Strachan Cc: Nick Piggin Cc: "Rafael J.

md: change ITERATE_RDEV to rdev_for_each

2008-02-06T18:41:19Z

As this is more in line with common practice in the kernel. Also swap the args around to be more like list_for_each. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Add UNPLUG traces to all appropriate places

2007-11-09T12:41:32Z

Added blk_unplug interface, allowing all invocations of unplugs to result in a generated blktrace UNPLUG. Signed-off-by: Alan D. Brunelle Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: convert blkdev_issue_flush() to use empty barriers

2007-10-16T09:05:02Z

Then we can get rid of ->issue_flush_fn() and all the driver private implementations of that. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Drop 'size' argument from bio_endio and bi_end_io

2007-10-10T07:25:57Z

As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete, the 'size' argument is now redundant. Remove it. Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed from bi_size. So don't do that either. While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

[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

md: fix bug with linear hot-add and elsewhere

2007-05-24T03:14:14Z

Adding a drive to a linear array seems to have stopped working, due to changes elsewhere in md, and insufficient ongoing testing... So the patch to make linear hot-add work in the first place introduced a subtle bug elsewhere that interracts poorly with older version of mdadm. This fixes it all up.

[PATCH] fix read past end of array in md/linear.c

2007-03-17T02:25:03Z

When iterating through an array, one must be careful to test one's index variable rather than another similarly-named variable. The loop will read off the end of conf->disks[] in the following (pathological) case: % dd bs=1 seek=840716287 if=/dev/zero of=d1 count=1 % for i in 2 3 4; do dd if=/dev/zero of=d$i bs=1k count=$(($i+150)); done % ./vmlinux ubd0=root ubd1=d1 ubd2=d2 ubd3=d3 ubd4=d4 # mdadm -C /dev/md0 --level=linear --raid-devices=4 /dev/ubd[1234] adding some printks, I saw this: [42949374.960000] hash_spacing = 821120 [42949374.960000] cnt = 4 [42949374.960000] min_spacing = 801 [42949374.960000] j=0 size=820928 sz=820928 [42949374.960000] i=0 sz=820928 hash_spacing=820928 [42949374.960000] j=1 size=64 sz=64 [42949374.960000] j=2 size=64 sz=128 [42949374.960000] j=3 size=64 sz=192 [42949374.960000] j=4 size=1515870810 sz=1515871002 Cc: Gautham R Shenoy Acked-by: Neil Brown Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] md: define backing_dev_info.congested_fn for raid0 and linear

2006-10-03T15:04:18Z

Each backing_dev needs to be able to report whether it is congested, either by modulating BDI_*_congested in ->state, or by defining a ->congested_fn. md/raid did neither of these. This patch add a congested_fn which simply checks all component devices to see if they are congested. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] md: Fix a bug that recently crept into md/linear

2006-08-06T15:57:46Z

A recent patch that allowed linear arrays to be reconfigured on-line allowed in a bug which results in divide by zero - not all mddev->array_size were converted to conf->array_size. This patch finished the conversion and fixed the bug. The offending patch was commit 7c7546ccf6463edbeee8d9aac6de7be1cd80d08a. Thanks to Simon Kirby for the bug report.
