Avoiding max_io_len's split_io logic enables DM's discard support to

Implement merge method for the snapshot origin to improve read
performance.
Without merge method, dm asks the upper layers to submit smallest possible
bios --- one page. Submitting such small bios impacts performance negatively
when reading or writing the origin device.
Without this patch, CPU consumption when reading the origin on lvm on md-raid0
was 6 to 12%, with this patch, it drops to 1 to 4%.
Note: in my testing, it actually degraded performance in some settings, I
traced it to Maxtor disks having problems with > 512-sector requests.
Reducing the number of sectors to /sys/block/sd*/queue/max_sectors_kb to
256 fixed the read performance. I think we don't have to care about weird
disks that actually degrade performance because of large requests being
sent to them.

Change bio-based mapped devices no longer to have a fully initialized
request_queue (request_fn, elevator, etc). This means bio-based DM
devices no longer register elevator sysfs attributes ('iosched/' tree
or 'scheduler' other than "none").
In contrast, a request-based DM device will continue to have a full
request_queue and will register elevator sysfs attributes. Therefore
a user can determine a DM device's type by checking if elevator sysfs
attributes exist.
First allocate a minimalist request_queue structure for a DM device
(needed for both bio and request-based DM).
Initialization of a full request_queue is deferred until it is known
that the DM device is request-based, at the end of the table load
sequence.
Factor DM device's request_queue initialization:
- common to both request-based and bio-based into dm_init_md_queue().
- specific to request-based into dm_init_request_based_queue().
The md->type_lock mutex is used to protect md->queue, in addition to
md->type, during table_load().
A DM device's first table_load will establish the immutable md->type.
But md->queue initialization, based on md->type, may fail at that time
(because blk_init_allocated_queue cannot allocate memory). Therefore
any subsequent table_load must (re)try dm_setup_md_queue independently of
establishing md->type.

Determine whether a mapped device is bio-based or request-based when
loading its first (inactive) table and don't allow that to be changed
later.
This patch performs different device initialisation in each of the two
cases. (We don't think it's necessary to add code to support changing
between the two types.)
Allowed md->type transitions:
DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_BIO_BASED
DM_TYPE_NONE to DM_TYPE_REQUEST_BASED
We now prevent table_load from replacing the inactive table with a
conflicting type of table even after an explicit table_clear.
Introduce 'type_lock' into the struct mapped_device to protect md->type
and to prepare for the next patch that will change the queue
initialization and allocate memory while md->type_lock is held.

When processing barriers, skip the second flush if processing the bio
failed with -EOPNOTSUPP. This can happen with discard+barrier requests.
If the device doesn't support discard, there would be two useless
SYNCHRONIZE CACHE commands. The first dm_flush cannot be so easily
optimized out, so we leave it there.
Previously, -EOPNOTSUPP could be received in dec_pending only with empty
barriers and we ignored that error, assuming the device not supporting
cache flushes has cache always consistent. With the addition of discard
barriers, this -EOPNOTSUPP can also be generated by discards and we
must record it in md->barrier_error for process_barrier.

This patch separates the device deletion code from dm_put()
to make sure the deletion happens in the process context.
By this patch, device deletion always occurs in an ioctl (process)
context and dm_put() can be called in interrupt context.
As a result, the request-based dm's bad dm_put() usage pointed out
by Mikulas below disappears.
http://marc.info/?l=dm-devel&m=126699981019735&w=2
Without this patch, I confirmed there is a case to crash the system:
dm_put() => dm_table_destroy() => vfree() => BUG_ON(in_interrupt())
Some more backgrounds and details:
In request-based dm, a device opener can remove a mapped_device
while the last request is still completing, because bios in the last
request complete first and then the device opener can close and remove
the mapped_device before the last request completes:
CPU0 CPU1
=================================================================
<<INTERRUPT>>
blk_end_request_all(clone_rq)
blk_update_request(clone_rq)
bio_endio(clone_bio) == end_clone_bio
blk_update_request(orig_rq)
bio_endio(orig_bio)
<<I/O completed>>
dm_blk_close()
dev_remove()
dm_put(md)
<<Free md>>
blk_finish_request(clone_rq)
....
dm_end_request(clone_rq)
free_rq_clone(clone_rq)
blk_end_request_all(orig_rq)
rq_completed(md)
So request-based dm used dm_get()/dm_put() to hold md for each I/O
until its request completion handling is fully done.
However, the final dm_put() can call the device deletion code which
must not be run in interrupt context and may cause kernel panic.
To solve the problem, this patch moves the device deletion code,
dm_destroy(), to predetermined places that is actually deleting
the mapped_device in ioctl (process) context, and changes dm_put()
just to decrement the reference count of the mapped_device.
By this change, dm_put() can be used in any context and the symmetric
model below is introduced:
dm_create(): create a mapped_device
dm_destroy(): destroy a mapped_device
dm_get(): increment the reference count of a mapped_device
dm_put(): decrement the reference count of a mapped_device
dm_destroy() waits for all references of the mapped_device to disappear,
then deletes the mapped_device.
dm_destroy() uses active waiting with msleep(1), since deleting
the mapped_device isn't performance-critical task.
And since at this point, nobody opens the mapped_device and no new
reference will be taken, the pending counts are just for racing
completing activity and will eventually decrease to zero.
For the unlikely case of the forced module unload, dm_destroy_immediate(),
which doesn't wait and forcibly deletes the mapped_device, is also
introduced and used in dm_hash_remove_all(). Otherwise, "rmmod -f"
may be stuck and never return.
And now, because the mapped_device is deleted at this point, subsequent
accesses to the mapped_device may cause NULL pointer references.

iterate_devices method should call the callback for all the devices where

snapshot_iterate_devices called the callback only for the origin device.

There are different types of a fifo which can not handled in C without a
lot of overhead. So i decided to write the API as a set of macros, which
is the only way to do a kind of template meta programming without C++.
This macros handles the different types of fifos in a transparent way.
There are a lot of benefits:
- Compile time handling of the different fifo types
- Better performance (a save put or get of an integer does only generate
9 assembly instructions on a x86)
- Type save
- Cleaner interface, the additional kfifo_..._rec() functions are gone
- Easier to use
- Less error prone
- Different types of fifos: it is now possible to define a int fifo or
any other type. See below for an example.
- Smaller footprint for none byte type fifos
- No need of creating a second hidden variable, like in the old DEFINE_KFIFO
The API was not changed.
There are now real in place fifos where the data space is a part of the
structure. The fifo needs now 20 byte plus the fifo space. Dynamic
assigned or allocated create a little bit more code.
Most of the macros code will be optimized away and simple generate a
function call. Only the really small one generates inline code.
Additionally you can now create fifos for any data type, not only the
"unsigned char" byte streamed fifos.
There is also a new kfifo_put and kfifo_get function, to handle a single
element in a fifo. This macros generates inline code, which is lit bit
larger but faster.
I know that this kind of macros are very sophisticated and not easy to
maintain. But i have all tested and it works as expected. I analyzed the
output of the compiler and for the x86 the code is as good as hand written
assembler code. For the byte stream fifo the generate code is exact the
same as with the current kfifo implementation. For all other types of
fifos the code is smaller before, because the interface is easier to use.
The main goal was to provide an API which is very intuitive, save and easy
to use. So linux will get now a powerful fifo API which provides all what
a developer needs. This will save in the future a lot of kernel space,
since there is no need to write an own implementation. Most of the device
driver developers need a fifo, and also deep kernel development will gain
benefit from this API.
Here are the results of the text section usage:
Example 1:
kfifo_put/_get kfifo_in/out current kfifo
dynamic allocated 0x000002a8 0x00000291 0x00000299
in place 0x00000291 0x0000026e 0x00000273
kfifo.c new old
text section size 0x00000be5 0x000008b2
As you can see, kfifo_put/kfifo_get creates a little bit more code than
kfifo_in/kfifo_out, but it is much faster (the code is inline).
The code is complete hand crafted and optimized. The text section size is
as small as possible. You get all the fifo handling in only 3 kb. This
includes type safe fix size records, dynamic records and DMA handling.
This should be the final version. All requested features are implemented.
Note: Most features of this API doesn't have any users. All functions
which are not used in the next 9 months will be removed. So, please adapt
your drivers and other sources as soon as possible to the new API and post
it.
This are the features which are currently not used in the kernel:
kfifo_to_user()
kfifo_from_user()
kfifo_dma_....() macros
kfifo_esize()
kfifo_recsize()
kfifo_put()
kfifo_get()
The fixed size record elements, exclude "unsigned char" fifo's and the
variable size records fifo's
This patch:
User of the kernel fifo should never bypass the API and directly access
the fifo structure. Otherwise it will be very hard to maintain the API.

This adds byte order autodetection (of PDP-11 and LE filesystems). No
attempt is made to detect big-endian filesystems -- were there any?
Tested with PDP-11 v7 filesystems and PC-IX maintenance floppy.

Newly mkfs-ed filesystems from Seventh Edition have last modification time
set to zero, but are otherwise perfectly valid.
Also, tighten up other sanity checks to filter out most filesystems with

copy_to/from_user() returns the number of bytes remaining to be copied.
It never returns a negative value. The correct return code is -EFAULT and
not -EIO.
All the callers check for non-zero returns so that's Ok, but the return
code is passed to the user so we should fix this.

Commit 51dcdfe ("parport: Use the PCI IRQ if offered") added IRQ support
for PCI parallel port devices handled by parport_pc, but turned it off for
parport_serial, despite a printk() message to the contrary.

We are missing the oops end marker for the exception based WARN implementation
in lib/bug.c. This is useful for logfile analysis tools.

There are a few issues with the exception based WARN implementation in
lib/bug.c:
- Inconsistent printk flags. The "cut here" line is printed at KERN_EMERG, so
the console and all logged in users see the single line:
------------[ cut here ]------------
for each WARN. Fix this so we print everything at KERN_WARNING to match the
kernel/panic.c version.
- The lib/bug.c WARN would print "Badness at". Change it to match the
kernel/panic.c version which prints "WARNING: at".
- Print the list of modules, similar to kernel/panic.c of modules, similar to
kernel/panic.c

To keep panic_timeout accuracy when running under a hypervisor, the
current implementation only spins on long time (1 second) calls to mdelay.
That brings a good effect, but the problem is the keyboard LEDs don't
blink at all on that situation.
This patch changes to call to panic_blink_enter() between every mdelay and
keeps blinking in spite of long spin timer mode.
The time to call to mdelay is now 100ms. Even this change will keep
panic_timeout accuracy enough when running under a hypervisor.
