2dc75d3c3b block: disable sysfs parts of the disk command filter
We still have life time issues with the sysfs command filter kobject,
so disable it for 2.6.27 release. We can revisit this and make it work
properly for 2.6.28, for 2.6.27 release it's too risky.

ddef43a843 block: restore original behavior of /proc/partition when there's no partition
/proc/partitions didn't use to write out the header if there was no
partition.  However, recent commit 66c64afe changed the behavior.
This is nothing major but there's no reason to change user visible
behavior without a good rationale.  Restore the original behavior.

Note that 2.6.28 has clean up changes scheduled which will replace
this rather hacky implementation.

bb23b431db remove blk_register_filter and blk_unregister_filter in gendisk
This patch remove blk_register_filter and blk_unregister_filter in
gendisk, and adds them to sd.c, sr.c. and ide-cd.c

The commit abf5439370 moved cmdfilter
from gendisk to request_queue. It turned out that in some subsystems
multiple gendisks share a single request_queue. So we get:

In the long term, we need to fix such subsystems but we need a quick
fix now. This patch add the command filter support to only sd and sr
though it might be useful for other SG_IO users (such as cciss).

a4a778971b block: clean up cmdfilter sysfs interface
This patch changes the interface of the cmd filter to use a +/-
notation like:

echo -- +0x02 +0x03 -0x08

If neither + or - is given it defaults to + (allow command).

Note: The interface was added in 2.6.17-rc1 and is unused and
undocumented so far so it's safe to change it.

4beab5c623 block: rename blk_scsi_cmd_filter to blk_cmd_filter
Technically, the cmd_filter would be applied to other protocols though
it's unlikely to happen. Putting SCSI stuff to request_queue is kinda
layer violation. So let's rename it.

abf5439370 block: move cmdfilter from gendisk to request_queue
cmd_filter works only for the block layer SG_IO with SCSI block
devices. It breaks scsi/sg.c, bsg, and the block layer SG_IO with SCSI
character devices (such as st). We hit a kernel crash with them.

The problem is that cmd_filter code accesses to gendisk (having struct
blk_scsi_cmd_filter) via inode->i_bdev->bd_disk. It works for only
SCSI block device files. With character device files, inode->i_bdev
leads you to struct cdev. inode->i_bdev->bd_disk->blk_scsi_cmd_filter
isn't safe.

SCSI ULDs don't expose gendisk; they keep it private. bsg needs to be
independent on any protocols. We shouldn't change ULDs to expose their
gendisk.

This patch moves struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter from gendisk to
request_queue, a common object, which eveyone can access to.

The user interface doesn't change; users can change the filters via
/sys/block/. gendisk has a pointer to request_queue so the cmd_filter
code accesses to struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter.

ad337591f4 [SCSI] block: Fix miscalculation of sg_io timeout in CDROM_SEND_PACKET handler.
It seems cdrwtool in the udftools has been unusable on "modern" kernels
for some time. A Google search reveals many people with the same issue
but no solution (cdrwtool fails to format the disk). After spending some
time tracking down the issue, it comes down to the following:

The udftools still use the older CDROM_SEND_PACKET interface to send
things like FORMAT_UNIT through to the drive. They should really be
updated, but that's another story. Since most distros are using libata
now, the cd or dvd burner appears as a SCSI device, and we wind up in
block/scsi_ioctl.c. Here, the code tries to take the "struct
cdrom_generic_command" and translate it and stuff it into a "struct
sg_io_hdr" structure so it can pass it to the modern sg_io() routine
instead. Unfortunately, there is one error, or rather an omission in the
translation. The timeout that is passed in in the "struct
cdrom_generic_command" is in HZ=100 units, and this is modified and
correctly converted to jiffies by use of clock_t_to_jiffies(). However,
a little further down, this cgc.timeout value in jiffies is simply
copied into the sg_io_hdr timeout, which should be in milliseconds.
Since most modern x86 kernels seems to be getting build with HZ=250, the
timeout that is passed to sg_io and eventually converted to the
timeout_per_command member of the scsi_cmnd structure is now four times
too small. Since cdrwtool tries to set the timeout to one hour for the
FORMAT_UNIT command, and it takes about 20 minutes to format a 4x CDRW,
the SCSI error-handler kicks in after the FORMAT_UNIT completes because
it took longer than the incorrectly-calculated timeout.

e105b8bfc7 sysfs: add /sys/dev/{char,block} to lookup sysfs path by major:minor
Why?:
There are occasions where userspace would like to access sysfs
attributes for a device but it may not know how sysfs has named the
device or the path.  For example what is the sysfs path for
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK?  With this change a call to
stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that
/sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc.

What are the alternatives?:
1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce
   the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this
   seems counter productive.

2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a
   udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited
   environment like an initramfs.

3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.

8df5fc042c [SCSI] bsg: fix oops on remove
If you do a modremove of any sas driver, you run into an oops on
shutdown when the host is removed (coming from the host bsg device).
The root cause seems to be that there's a use after free of the
bsg_class_device:  In bsg_kref_release_function, this is used (to do a
put_device(bcg->parent) after bcg->release has been called.  In sas (and
possibly many other things) bcd->release frees the queue which contains
the bsg_class_device, so we get a put_device on unreferenced memory.
Fix this by taking a copy of the pointer to the parent before releasing
bsg.

30c00eda73 block: blk_rq_map_kern uses the bounce buffers for stack buffers
blk_rq_map_kern is used for kernel internal I/Os. Some callers use
this function with stack buffers but DMA to/from the stack buffers
leads to memory corruption on a non-coherent platform.

This patch make blk_rq_map_kern uses the bounce buffers if a caller
passes a stack buffer (on the all platforms for simplicity).

d585d0b9d7 block: Fix the starving writes bug in the anticipatory IO scheduler
AS scheduler alternates between issuing read and write batches. It does
the batch switch only after all requests from the previous batch are
completed.

When switching to a write batch, if there is an on-going read request,
it waits for its completion and indicates its intention of switching by
setting ad->changed_batch and the new direction but does not update the
batch_expire_time for the new write batch which it does in the case of
no previous pending requests.
On completion of the read request, it sees that we were waiting for the
switch and schedules work for kblockd right away and resets the
ad->changed_data flag.
Now when kblockd enters dispatch_request where it is expected to pick
up a write request, it in turn ends the write batch because the
batch_expire_timer was not updated and shows the expire timestamp for
the previous batch.

This results in the write starvation for all the cases where there is
the intention for switching to a write batch, but there is a previous
in-flight read request and the batch gets reverted to a read_batch
right away.

This also holds true in the reverse case (switching from a write batch
to a read batch with an in-flight write request).

I've checked that this bug exists on 2.6.11, 2.6.18, 2.6.24 and
linux-2.6-block git HEAD. I've tested the fix on x86 platforms with
SCSI drives where the driver asks for the next request while a current
request is in-flight.

This patch is based off linux-2.6-block git HEAD.

Bug reproduction:
A simple scenario which reproduces this bug is:
- dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/null &
- lilo
   The lilo takes forever to complete.

This can also be reproduced fairly easily with the earlier dd and
another test
program doing msync().

The example test program below should print out a message after every
iteration
but it simply hangs forever. With this bugfix it makes forward progress.

d5791d13b1 Fix invalid access errors in blk_lookup_devt
Commit 30f2f0eb4b ("block: do_mounts -
accept root=<non-existant partition>") extended blk_lookup_devt() to be
able to look up partitions that had not yet been registered, but in the
process made the assumption that the '&block_class.devices' list only
contains disk devices and that you can do 'dev_to_disk(dev)' on them.

That isn't actually true.  The block_class device list also contains the
partitions we've discovered so far, and you can't just do a
'dev_to_disk()' on those.

So make sure to only work on devices that block/genhd.c has registered
itself, something we can test by checking the 'dev->type' member.  This
makes the loop in blk_lookup_devt() match the other such loops in this
file.

[ We may want to do an alternate version that knows to handle _either_
  whole-disk devices or partitions, but for now this is the minimal fix
  for a series of crashes reported by Mariusz Kozlowski in

e7e72bf641 Remove blkdev warning triggered by using md
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.

dbaf2c003e block: optimize generic_unplug_device()
Original patch from Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>

Mike Anderson was doing an OLTP benchmark on a computer with 48 physical
disks mapped to one logical device via device mapper.

He found that there was a slowdown on request_queue->lock in function
generic_unplug_device. The slowdown is caused by the fact that when some
code calls unplug on the device mapper, device mapper calls unplug on all
physical disks. These unplug calls take the lock, find that the queue is
already unplugged, release the lock and exit.

With the below patch, performance of the benchmark was increased by 18%
(the whole OLTP application, not just block layer microbenchmarks).

So I'm submitting this patch for upstream. I think the patch is correct,
because when more threads call simultaneously plug and unplug, it is
unspecified, if the queue is or isn't plugged (so the patch can't make

07416d29bc cfq-iosched: fix RCU race in the cfq io_context destructor handling
put_io_context() drops the RCU read lock before calling into cfq_dtor(),
however we need to hold off freeing there before grabbing and
dereferencing the first object on the list.

So extend the rcu_read_lock() scope to cover the calling of cfq_dtor(),
and optimize cfq_free_io_context() to use a new variant for
call_for_each_cic() that assumes the RCU read lock is already held.

aa94b5371f block: adjust tagging function queue bit locking
For most initialization purposes, calling blk_queue_init_tags() without
the queue lock held is OK. Only if called for resizing an existing map
must the lock be held. Ditto for tag cleanup, the maps are reference
counted.

So switch the general queue flag setting to the unlocked variant, but
retain the locked variant for resizing.

Add support for variable-length, extended, and vendor specific
CDBs to scsi-ml. It is now possible for initiators and ULD's
to issue these types of commands. LLDs need not change much.
All they need is to raise the .max_cmd_len to the longest command
they support (see iscsi patch).

- clean-up some code paths that did not expect commands to be
  larger than 16, and change cmd_len members' type to short as
  char is not enough.

if one were to know that the incoming I/O stream was /very/ random in

This patch adds a per-request_queue tunable that (when set) disables
merge attempts (beyond the simple one-hit cache check), thus freeing up

97f46ae45c [SCSI] bsg: add release callback support
This patch adds release callback support, which is called when a bsg
device goes away. bsg_register_queue() takes a pointer to a callback
function. This feature is useful for stuff like sas_host that can't
use the release callback in struct device.

If a caller doesn't need bsg's release callback, it can call
bsg_register_queue() with NULL pointer (e.g. scsi devices can use
release callback in struct device so they don't need bsg's callback).

With this patch, bsg uses kref for refcounts on bsg devices instead of
get/put_device in fops->open/release. bsg calls put_device and the
caller's release callback (if it was registered) in kref_put's
release.

fb19974630 block: fix blk_register_queue() return value
blk_register_queue() returns -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL.  But there
are some block drivers that call blk_register_queue() via add_disk() with
queue->request_fn == NULL.  (For example, brd, loop)

Although no one checks return value of blk_register_queue(), this patch makes
it return 0 instead of -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL,

Also this patch adds warning when blk_register_queue() and
blk_unregister_queue() are called with queue == NULL rather than ignore
invalid usage silently.

ee86418d39 Kconfig: clean up block/Kconfig help descriptions
Modify the help descriptions of block/Kconfig for clarity, accuracy and
consistency.

Refactor the BLOCK description a bit.  The wording "This permits ...  to be
removed" isn't quite right; the block layer is removed when the option is
disabled, whereas most descriptions talk about what happens when the option is
enabled.  Reformat the list of what is affected by disabling the block layer.

Add more examples of large block devices to LBD and strive for technical
accuracy; block devices of size _exactly_ 2TB require CONFIG_LBD, not only
"bigger than 2TB".  Also try to say (perhaps not very clearly) that the config
option is only needed when you want to have individual block devices of size
>= 2TB, for example if you had 3 x 1TB disks in your computer you'd have a
total storage size of 3TB but you wouldn't need the option unless you want to
aggregate those disks into a RAID or LVM.

Improve terminology and grammar on BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE.

I also added the boilerplate "If unsure, say N" to most options.

Precisely say "2TB and larger" for LSF.

Indent the help text for BLK_DEV_BSG by 2 spaces in accordance with the
standard.

f18573abcc block: move the padding adjustment to blk_rq_map_sg
blk_rq_map_user adjusts bi_size of the last bio. It breaks the rule
that req->data_len (the true data length) is equal to sum(bio). It
broke the scsi command completion code.

commit e97a294ef6 was introduced to fix
the above issue. However, the partial completion code doesn't work
with it. The commit is also a layer violation (scsi mid-layer should
not know about the block layer's padding).

This patch moves the padding adjustment to blk_rq_map_sg (suggested by
James). The padding works like the drain buffer. This patch breaks the
rule that req->data_len is equal to sum(sg), however, the drain buffer
already broke it. So this patch just restores the rule that
req->data_len is equal to sub(bio) without breaking anything new.

Now when a low level driver needs padding, blk_rq_map_user and
blk_rq_map_user_iov guarantee there's enough room for padding.
blk_rq_map_sg can safely extend the last entry of a scatter list.

blk_rq_map_sg must extend the last entry of a scatter list only for a
request that got through bio_copy_user_iov. This patches introduces
new REQ_COPY_USER flag.

afdc1a780e block: add bio_copy_user_iov support to blk_rq_map_user_iov
With this patch, blk_rq_map_user_iov uses bio_copy_user_iov when a low
level driver needs padding or a buffer in sg_iovec isn't aligned. That
is, it uses temporary kernel buffers instead of mapping user pages
directly.

When a LLD needs padding, later blk_rq_map_sg needs to extend the last
entry of a scatter list. bio_copy_user_iov guarantees that there is
enough space for padding by using temporary kernel buffers instead of
user pages.

blk_rq_map_user_iov needs buffers in sg_iovec to be aligned. The
comment in blk_rq_map_user_iov indicates that drivers/scsi/sg.c also
needs buffers in sg_iovec to be aligned. Actually, drivers/scsi/sg.c
works with unaligned buffers in sg_iovec (it always uses temporary
kernel buffers).

d45ac4fa8f [SCSI] bsg: takes a ref to struct device in fops->open
bsg_register_queue() takes a ref to struct device that a caller
passes. For example, bsg takes a ref to the sdev_gendev for scsi
devices. However, bsg doesn't inrease the refcount in fops->open. So
while an application opens a bsg device, the scsi device that the bsg
device holds can go away (bsg also takes a ref to a queue, but it
doesn't prevent the device from going away).

With this patch, bsg increases the refcount of struct device in
fops->open and decreases it in fops->release.

93de00fd1c ide: remove broken/dangerous HDIO_[UNREGISTER,SCAN]_HWIF ioctls (take 3)
hdparm explicitely marks HDIO_[UNREGISTER,SCAN]_HWIF ioctls as DANGEROUS
and given the number of bugs we can assume that there are no real users:

* DMA has no chance of working because DMA resources are released by
  ide_unregister() and they are never allocated again.

* Since ide_init_hwif_ports() is used for ->io_ports[] setup the ioctls
  don't work for almost all hosts with "non-standard" (== non ISA-like)
  layout of IDE taskfile registers (there is a lot of such host drivers).

* ide_port_init_devices() is not called when probing IDE devices so:
  - drive->autotune is never set and IDE host/devices are not programmed
    for the correct PIO/DMA transfer modes (=> possible data corruption)
  - host specific I/O 32-bit and IRQ unmasking settings are not applied
    (=> possible data corruption)
  - host specific ->port_init_devs method is not called (=> no luck with
    ht6560b, qd65xx and opti621 host drivers)

* ->rw_disk method is not preserved (=> no HPT3xxN chipsets support).

* ->serialized flag is not preserved (=> possible data corruption when
   using icside, aec62xx (ATP850UF chipset), cmd640, cs5530, hpt366
   (HPT3xxN chipsets), rz1000, sc1200, dtc2278 and ht6560b host drivers).

* ->ack_intr method is not preserved (=> needed by ide-cris, buddha,
  gayle and macide host drivers).

* ->sata_scr[] and sata_misc[] is cleared by ide_unregister() and it
  isn't initialized again (SiI3112 support needs them).

* To issue an ioctl() there need to be at least one IDE device present
  in the system.

* ->cable_detect method is not preserved + it is not called when probing
  IDE devices so cable detection is broken (however since DMA support is
  also broken it doesn't really matter ;-).

* Some objects which may have already been freed in ide_unregister()
  are restored by ide_hwif_restore() (i.e. ->hwgroup).

* ide_register_hw() may unregister unrelated IDE ports if free ide_hwifs[]
  slot cannot be found.

* When IDE host drivers are modular unregistered port may be re-used by
  different host driver that owned it first causing subtle bugs.

Since we now have a proper warm-plug support remove these ioctls,
then remove no longer needed:
- ide_register_hw() and ide_hwif_restore() functions
- 'init_default' and 'restore' arguments of ide_unregister()
- zeroeing of hwif->{dma,extra}_* fields in ide_unregister()

As an added bonus IDE core code size shrinks by ~3kB (x86-32).

v2:
* fix ide_unregister() arguments in cleanup_module() (Andrew Morton).

v3:
* fix ide_unregister() arguments in palm_bk3710.c.

4faa3c8150 cfq-iosched: do not leak ioc_data across iosched switches
When switching scheduler from cfq, cfq_exit_queue() does not clear
ioc->ioc_data, leaving a dangling pointer that can deceive the following
lookups when the iosched is switched back to cfq.  The pattern that can
trigger that is the following:

    - elevator switch from cfq to something else;
    - module unloading, with elv_unregister() that calls cfq_free_io_context()
      on ioc freeing the cic (via the .trim op);
    - module gets reloaded and the elevator switches back to cfq;
    - reallocation of a cic at the same address as before (with a valid key).

To fix it just assign NULL to ioc_data in __cfq_exit_single_io_context(),
that is called from the regular exit path and from the elevator switching
code.  The only path that frees a cic and is not covered is the error handling
one, but cic's freed in this way are never cached in ioc_data.

00d61e3e8c Fix bounce setting for 64-bit
Looking a bit closer into this regression the reason this can't be
right is that dma_addr common default is BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH and most
machines have less than 4G. So if you do:

    if (b_pfn <= (min_t(u64, 0xffffffff, BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH) >> PAGE_SHIFT))
	dma = 1

that will translate to:

     if (BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH <= BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH)
     	dma = 1

So for 99% of hardware this will trigger unnecessary GFP_DMA
allocations and isa pooling operations.

Also note how the 32bit code still does b_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn.

I guess this is what you were looking after. I didn't verify but as
far as I can tell, this will stop the regression with isa dma
operations at boot for 99% of blkdev/memory combinations out there and
I guess this fixes the setups with >4G of ram and 32bit pci cards as
well (this also retains symmetry with the 32bit code).

This patch also removes the code to update bio in blk_rq_map_user
introduced by the commit 40b01b9bbd.
The commit adjusts bio according to memory alignment
(queue_dma_alignment). However, memory alignment is NOT padding
alignment. This adjustment also breaks SG_IO friends and bsg. Padding

6b00769fe1 block: add request->raw_data_len
With padding and draining moved into it, block layer now may extend
requests as directed by queue parameters, so now a request has two
sizes - the original request size and the extended size which matches
the size of area pointed to by bios and later by sgs.  The latter size
is what lower layers are primarily interested in when allocating,
filling up DMA tables and setting up the controller.

Both padding and draining extend the data area to accomodate
controller characteristics.  As any controller which speaks SCSI can
handle underflows, feeding larger data area is safe.

So, this patch makes the primary data length field, request->data_len,
indicate the size of full data area and add a separate length field,
request->raw_data_len, for the unmodified request size.  The latter is
used to report to higher layer (userland) and where the original
request size should be fed to the controller or device.

40b01b9bbd block: update bio according to DMA alignment padding
DMA start address and transfer size alignment for PC requests are
achieved using bio_copy_user() instead of bio_map_user().  This works
because bio_copy_user() always uses full pages and block DMA alignment
isn't allowed to go over PAGE_SIZE.

However, the implementation didn't update the last bio of the request
to make this padding visible to lower layers.  This patch makes
blk_rq_map_user() extend the last bio such that it includes the
padding area and the size of area pointed to by the request is
properly aligned.

0871714e08 cfq-iosched: relax IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE restrictions
Currently you must be root to set idle io prio class on a process. This
is due to the fact that the idle class is implemented as a true idle
class, meaning that it will not make progress if someone else is
requesting disk access. Unfortunately this means that it opens DOS
opportunities by locking down file system resources, hence it is root
only at the moment.

This patch relaxes the idle class a little, by removing the truly idle
part (which entals a grace period with associated timer). The
modifications make the idle class as close to zero impact as can be done
while still guarenteeing progress. This means we can relax the root only
criteria as well.

fa0ccd837e block: implement drain buffers
These DMA drain buffer implementations in drivers are pretty horrible
to do in terms of manipulating the scatterlist.  Plus they're being
done at least in drivers/ide and drivers/ata, so we now have code
duplication.

The one use case for this, as I understand it is AHCI controllers doing
PIO mode to mmc devices but translating this to DMA at the controller
level.

So, what about adding a callback to the block layer that permits the
adding of the drain buffer for the problem devices.  The idea is that
you'd do this in slave_configure after you find one of these devices.

The beauty of doing it in the block layer is that it quietly adds the
drain buffer to the end of the sg list, so it automatically gets mapped
(and unmapped) without anything unusual having to be done to the
scatterlist in driver/scsi or drivers/ata and without any alteration to
the transfer length.

4ac845a2e9 block: cfq: make the io contect sharing lockless
The io context sharing introduced a per-ioc spinlock, that would protect
the cfq io context lookup. That is a regression from the original, since
we never needed any locking there because the ioc/cic were process private.

The cic lookup is changed from an rbtree construct to a radix tree, which
we can then use RCU to make the reader side lockless. That is the performance
critical path, modifying the radix tree is only done on process creation
(when that process first does IO, actually) and on process exit (if that
process has done IO).

As it so happens, radix trees are also much faster for this type of
lookup where the key is a pointer. It's a very sparse tree.

b8286239dd blk_end_request: cleanup of request completion (take 4)
This patch merges complete_request() into end_that_request_last()
for cleanup.

complete_request() was introduced by earlier part of this patch-set,
not to break the existing users of end_that_request_last().

Since all users are converted to blk_end_request interfaces and
end_that_request_last() is no longer exported, the code can be
merged to end_that_request_last().

e3a04fe34a blk_end_request: add bidi completion interface (take 4)
This patch adds a variant of the interface, blk_end_bidi_request(),
which completes a bidi request.

Bidi request must be completed as a whole, both rq and rq->next_rq
at once.  So the interface has 2 arguments for completion size.

As for ->end_io, only rq->end_io is called (rq->next_rq->end_io is not
called).  So if special completion handling is needed, the handler
must be set to rq->end_io.
And the handler must take care of freeing next_rq too, since
the interface doesn't care of it if rq->end_io is not NULL.

e19a3ab058 blk_end_request: add callback feature (take 4)
This patch adds a variant of the interface, blk_end_request_callback(),
which has driver callback feature.

Drivers may need to do special works between end_that_request_first()
and end_that_request_last().
For such drivers, blk_end_request_callback() allows it to pass
a callback function which is called between end_that_request_first()
and end_that_request_last().

This interface is only for fallback of other blk_end_request interfaces.
Drivers should avoid their tricky behaviors and use other interfaces
as much as possible.

Currently, only one driver, ide-cd, needs this interface.
So this interface should/will be removed, after the driver removes
such tricky behaviors.

o ide-cd (cdrom_newpc_intr())
  In PIO mode, cdrom_newpc_intr() needs to defer end_that_request_last()
  until the device clears DRQ_STAT and raises an interrupt after
  end_that_request_first().
  So end_that_request_first() and end_that_request_last() are called
  separately in cdrom_newpc_intr().

  This means blk_end_request_callback() has to return without
  completing request even if no leftover in the request.
  To satisfy the requirement, callback function has return value
  so that drivers can tell blk_end_request_callback() to return
  without completing request.

9e6e39f2c4 blk_end_request: changing block layer core (take 4)
This patch converts core parts of block layer to use blk_end_request
interfaces.  Related 'uptodate' arguments are converted to 'error'.

'dequeue' argument was originally introduced for end_dequeued_request(),
where no attempt should be made to dequeue the request as it's already
dequeued.
However, it's not necessary as it can be checked with
list_empty(&rq->queuelist).
(Dequeued request has empty list and queued request doesn't.)
And it has been done in blk_end_request interfaces.

As a result of this patch, end_queued_request() and
end_dequeued_request() become identical.  A future patch will merge
and rename them and change users of those functions.

336cdb4003 blk_end_request: add new request completion interface (take 4)
This patch adds 2 new interfaces for request completion:
  o blk_end_request()   : called without queue lock
  o __blk_end_request() : called with queue lock held

blk_end_request takes 'error' as an argument instead of 'uptodate',
which current end_that_request_* take.
The meanings of values are below and the value is used when bio is
completed.
    0 : success
  < 0 : error

Some device drivers call some generic functions below between
end_that_request_{first/chunk} and end_that_request_last().
  o add_disk_randomness()
  o blk_queue_end_tag()
  o blkdev_dequeue_request()
These are called in the blk_end_request interfaces as a part of
generic request completion.
So all device drivers become to call above functions.
To decide whether to call blkdev_dequeue_request(), blk_end_request
uses list_empty(&rq->queuelist) (blk_queued_rq() macro is added for it).
So drivers must re-initialize it using list_init() or so before calling
blk_end_request if drivers use it for its specific purpose.
(Currently, there is no driver which completes request without
 re-initializing the queuelist after used it.  So rq->queuelist
 can be used for the purpose above.)

"Normal" drivers can be converted to use blk_end_request()
in a standard way shown below.

 a) end_that_request_{chunk/first}
    spin_lock_irqsave()
    (add_disk_randomness(), blk_queue_end_tag(), blkdev_dequeue_request())
    end_that_request_last()
    spin_unlock_irqrestore()
    => blk_end_request()

 b) spin_lock_irqsave()
    end_that_request_{chunk/first}
    (add_disk_randomness(), blk_queue_end_tag(), blkdev_dequeue_request())
    end_that_request_last()
    spin_unlock_irqrestore()
    => spin_lock_irqsave()
       __blk_end_request()
       spin_unlock_irqsave()

 c) spin_lock_irqsave()
    (add_disk_randomness(), blk_queue_end_tag(), blkdev_dequeue_request())
    end_that_request_last()
    spin_unlock_irqrestore()
    => blk_end_request()   or   spin_lock_irqsave()
                                __blk_end_request()

6da127ad09 blktrace: Add blktrace ioctls to SCSI generic devices
Since the SCSI layer uses the request queues from the block layer, blktrace can
also be used to trace the requests to all SCSI devices (like SCSI tape drives),
not only disks. The only missing part is the ioctl interface to start and stop
tracing.

This patch adds the SETUP, START, STOP and TEARDOWN ioctls from blktrace to the
sg device files. With this change, blktrace can be used for SCSI devices like
for disks, e.g.: blktrace -d /dev/sg1 -o - | blkparse -i -

Sometimes callers use very large values for e.g. vendor specific media

35fc51e7a5 blktrace: Make sure BLKTRACETEARDOWN does the full cleanup.
if blktrace program segfault it will not be able
to call BLKTRACETEARDOWN. Now if we run the blktrace
again that would result in a failure to create the
block/<device> debugfs directory.This will result
in blk_remove_root() to be called which will set
blk_tree_root to NULL. But the  debugfs block dir
still exist because it contain subdirectory.

Now if we try to fix it using BLKTRACETEARDOWN
it won't work because blk_tree_root is NULL.

Fix the same.

Tested as below

root@qemu-image:/home/kvaneesh/blktrace# ./blktrace  -d /dev/hdc
Segmentation fault
root@qemu-image:/home/kvaneesh/blktrace# ./blktrace  -d /dev/hdc

d85532ed28 block: fix requeue handling in blk_queue_invalidate_tags()
Credit goes to juergen.kadidlo@exasol.com for diagnosing this issue
and supplying the initial patch.

blk_queue_invalidate_tags() must use the proper requeueing paths instead
of open coding the re-add of the request, otherwise we bug out in rq
accounting. Just switch to using blk_requeue_request(), that takes care
of end-tag handling as well and also adds the blktrace REQUEUE notify
event that is also appropriate here.

0e7be9edb9 cfq_idle_class_timer: add paranoid checks for jiffies overflow
In theory, if the queue was idle long enough, cfq_idle_class_timer may have
a false (and very long) timeout because jiffies can wrap into the past wrt
->last_end_request.

b70c864d3c cfq: fix IOPRIO_CLASS_IDLE delays
After the fresh boot:

	ionice -c3 -p $$
	echo cfq >> /sys/block/XXX/queue/scheduler
	dd if=/dev/XXX of=/dev/null bs=512 count=1

Now dd hangs in D state and the queue is completely stalled for approximately
INITIAL_JIFFIES + CFQ_IDLE_GRACE jiffies. This is because cfq_init_queue()
forgets to initialize cfq_data->last_end_request.

(I guess this patch is not complete, overflow is still possible)

If ->async_idle_cfqq != NULL cfq_put_async_queues() puts it IOPRIO_BE_NR times
in a loop. Fix this.

6f5d8aa638 Deadline iosched: Fix batching fairness
After switching data directions, deadline always starts the next batch
from the lowest-sector request.  This gives excessive deadline expiries
and large latency and throughput disparity between high- and low-sector
requests; an order of magnitude in some tests.

This patch changes the batching behaviour so new batches start from the
request whose expiry is earliest.

dfb3d72a9a Deadline iosched: Reset batch for ordered requests
The deadline I/O scheduler does not reset the batch count when starting
a new batch at a higher-sectored request.  This means the second and
subsequent batch in the same data direction will never exceed a single
request in size whenever higher-sectored requests are pending.

This patch gives new batches in the same data direction as old ones
their full quota of requests by resetting the batch count.

c46f2334c8 [SG] Get rid of __sg_mark_end()
sg_mark_end() overwrites the page_link information, but all users want
__sg_mark_end() behaviour where we just set the end bit. That is the most
natural way to use the sg list, since you'll fill it in and then mark the
end point.

So change sg_mark_end() to only set the termination bit. Add a sg_magic
debug check as well, and clear a chain pointer if it is set.
