Jens Axboe 96c51ce94e [PATCH] CFQ io scheduler: scheduler switch oops
If cfq is managing a queue and a new scheduler is later selected, it is
possible for the cfqd unplug_work work to be queued after the kblockd
work struct has been flushed.  The problem is the ordering of
cfq_shutdown_timer_wq() and blk_put_queue() in cfq_put_cfqd().  The
latter may rearm the work, leaving cfq_kick_queue() with dead data.

Jens Axboe 3b18152c32 [PATCH] CFQ io scheduler updates
- Adjust slice values

- Instead of one async queue, one is defined per priority level. This
  prevents kernel threads (such as reiserfs/x and others) that run at
  higher io priority from conflicting with others. Previously, it was a
  coin toss what io prio the async queue got, it was defined by who
  first set up the queue.

- Let a time slice only begin, when the previous slice is completely
  done. Previously we could be somewhat unfair to a new sync slice, if
  the previous slice was async and had several ios queued. This might
  need a little tweaking if throughput suffers a little due to this,
  allowing perhaps an overlap of a single request or so.

- Optimize the calling of kblockd_schedule_work() by doing it only when
  it is strictly necessary (no requests in driver and work left to do).

- Correct sync vs async logic. A 'normal' process can be purely async as
  well, and a flusher can be purely sync as well. Sync or async is now a
  property of the class defined and requests pending. Previously writers
  could be considered sync, when they were really async.

- Get rid of the bit fields in cfqq and crq, use flags instead.

- Various other cleanups and fixes

Jens Axboe 3d25f3566b [PATCH] Fix cfq_find_next_crq()
In cfq_find_next_crq(), cfq tries to find the next request by choosing
one of two requests before and after the current one.  Currently, when
choosing the next request, if there's no next request, the next
candidate is NULL, resulting in selection of the previous request.  This
results in weird scheduling.  Once we reach the end, we always seek
backward.

The correct behavior is using the first request as the next candidate.
cfq_choose_req() already has logics for handling wrapped requests.

Jens Axboe 22e2c507c3 [PATCH] Update cfq io scheduler to time sliced design
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.

Dmitry Torokhov 6c1852a08e [PATCH] sysfs: (driver/block) if show/store is missing return -EIO
sysfs: fix drivers/block so if an attribute doesn't implement
       show or store method read/write will return -EIO
       instead of 0 or -EINVAL.

Kiyoshi Ueda db3b5848ea When cfq I/O scheduler is selected, get_request() in __make_request() calls
__cfq_get_queue().  __cfq_get_queue() finds an existing queue (struct
cfq_queue) of the current process for the device and returns it.  If it's not
found, __cfq_get_queue() creates and returns a new one if __cfq_get_queue() is
called with __GFP_WAIT flag, or __cfq_get_queue() returns NULL (this means that
get_request() fails) if no __GFP_WAIT flag.

On the other hand, in __make_request(), get_request() is called without
__GFP_WAIT flag at the first time.  Thus, the get_request() fails when there is
no existing queue, typically when it's called for the first I/O request of the
process to the device.

Though it will be followed by get_request_wait() for general case,
__make_request() will just end the I/O with an error (EWOULDBLOCK) when the
request was for read-ahead.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
