      block: convert bio_copy_user to bio_copy_user_iov · c5dec1c3
      FUJITA Tomonori authored 
      
This patch enables bio_copy_user to take struct sg_iovec (renamed
bio_copy_user_iov). bio_copy_user uses bio_copy_user_iov internally as
bio_map_user uses bio_map_user_iov.

The major changes are:

- adds sg_iovec array to struct bio_map_data

- adds __bio_copy_iov that copy data between bio and
sg_iovec. bio_copy_user_iov and bio_uncopy_user use it.

    [PATCH] revert blockdev direct io back to 2.6.19 version

    Andrew Vasquez is reporting as-iosched oopses and a 65% throughput
    slowdown due to the recent special-casing of direct-io against
    blockdevs.  We don't know why either of these things are occurring.

    The patch minimally reverts us back to the 2.6.19 code for a 2.6.20
    release.

<--  snip  -->

It has since been dead code, and unless someone wants to revive it now
it's time to remove it.

This patch also makes bio_release_pages() static again and removes the
ki_bio_count member from struct kiocb, reverting changes that had been
done for this dead code.

      [BLOCK] Don't pin lots of memory in mempools · 5972511b
      Jens Axboe authored 
      
Currently we scale the mempool sizes depending on memory installed
in the machine, except for the bio pool itself which sits at a fixed
256 entry pre-allocation.

There's really no point in "optimizing" this OOM path, we just need
enough preallocated to make progress. A single unit is enough, lets
scale it down to 2 just to be on the safe side.

This patch saves ~150kb of pinned kernel memory on a 32-bit box.

      [PATCH] optimize o_direct on block devices · e61c9018
      Chen, Kenneth W authored 
      
Implement block device specific .direct_IO method instead of going through
generic direct_io_worker for block device.

direct_io_worker() is fairly complex because it needs to handle O_DIRECT on
file system, where it needs to perform block allocation, hole detection,
extents file on write, and tons of other corner cases.  The end result is
that it takes tons of CPU time to submit an I/O.

For block device, the block allocation is much simpler and a tight triple
loop can be written to iterate each iovec and each page within the iovec in
order to construct/prepare bio structure and then subsequently submit it to
the block layer.  This significantly speeds up O_D on block device.

      [SCSI] Convert SCSI mid-layer to scsi_execute_async · 6e68af66
      Mike Christie authored 
      
Add scsi helpers to create really-large-requests and convert
scsi-ml to scsi_execute_async().

Per Jens's previous comments, I placed this function in scsi_lib.c.
I made it follow all the queue's limits - I think I did at least :), so
I removed the warning on the function header.

I think the scsi_execute_* functions should eventually take a request_queue
and be placed some place where the dm-multipath hw_handler can use them
if that failover code is going to stay in the kernel. That conversion
patch will be sent in another mail though.

      [PATCH] gfp_t: fs/* · 27496a8c
      Al Viro authored 
      
 - ->releasepage() annotated (s/int/gfp_t), instances updated
 - missing gfp_t in fs/* added
 - fixed misannotation from the original sweep caught by bitwise checks:
   XFS used __nocast both for gfp_t and for flags used by XFS allocator.
   The latter left with unsigned int __nocast; we might want to add a
   different type for those but for now let's leave them alone.  That,
   BTW, is a case when __nocast use had been actively confusing - it had
   been used in the same code for two different and similar types, with
   no way to catch misuses.  Switch of gfp_t to bitwise had caught that
   immediately...

One tricky bit is left alone to be dealt with later - mapping->flags is
a mix of gfp_t and error indications.  Left alone for now.

      [PATCH] Update cfq io scheduler to time sliced design · 22e2c507
      Jens Axboe authored 
      
This updates the CFQ io scheduler to the new time sliced design (cfq
v3).  It provides full process fairness, while giving excellent
aggregate system throughput even for many competing processes.  It
supports io priorities, either inherited from the cpu nice value or set
directly with the ioprio_get/set syscalls.  The latter closely mimic
set/getpriority.

This import is based on my latest from -mm.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds authored 
      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
