Tejun Heo 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.

Tejun Heo 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.

Jens Axboe e164094964 elevator: make elevator_get() attempt to load the appropriate module
Currently we fail if someone requests a valid io scheduler, but it's
modular and not currently loaded. That can happen from a driver init
asking for a different scheduler, or online switching through sysfs
as requested by a user.

This patch makes elevator_get() request_module() to attempt to load
the appropriate module, instead of requiring that done manually.

Since it's acquired from irq context, all locking must be of the
irq safe variant. Most are already inside the queue lock (which
already disables interrupts), but the io scheduler rmmod path
always has irqs enabled and the put_io_context() path may legally
be called with irqs enabled (even if it isn't usually). So fixup
those two.

Jens Axboe 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.

James Bottomley 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.

Jens Axboe 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.

Kiyoshi Ueda 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

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.

Kiyoshi Ueda 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.

'dequeue' argument was originally introduced for end_dequeued_request(),

However, it's not necessary as it can be checked with

(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.

Kiyoshi Ueda 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()

Christof Schmitt 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 -
