If somebody does a hash lookup for cfq_queue while ioprio of an async queue is elevated, they shouldn't end up stuck with lowered ioprio when we go back. Fix is to use ->org_ioprio{,class} in hash lookups. Signed-off-by:

During testing of SLES10, we encountered a hang in the CFQ io scheduler. Turns out the deferred slice expiry logic is buggy, so remove that for now. We could be left with an idle queue that would never wake up. So kill that logic, always expire immediately. Also fix a potential timer race condition. Patch looks bigger than it is, because it moves a function. Signed-off-by:

q->ordcolor must only be flipped on initial queueing of a hardbarrier request. Constructing ordered sequence and requeueing used to pass through __elv_add_request() which flips q->ordcolor when it sees a barrier request. This patch separates out elv_insert() from __elv_add_request() and uses elv_insert() when constructing ordered sequence and requeueing. elv_insert() inserts the given request at the specified position and does nothing else.

Previously, if a fs request which was being drained failed and got requeued, blk_do_ordered() didn't allow it to be reissued, which causes queue stall. This patch makes blk_do_ordered() use the sequence of each request to determine whether a request can be issued or not. This fixes the bug and simplifies code. Signed-off-by:

percpu_data blindly allocates bootmem memory to store NR_CPUS instances of cpudata, instead of allocating memory only for possible cpus. As a preparation for changing that, we need to convert various 0 -> NR_CPUS loops to use for_each_cpu(). (The above only applies to users of asm-generic/percpu.h. powerpc has gone it alone and is presently only allocating memory for present CPUs, so it's currently corrupting memory). Signed-off-by:

Jens has decided that allowing the default scheduler to be a module is a bug, and should not be allowed under kconfig. However, I find that scenario useful for debugging, and wish for the kernel to be able to handle this situation without OOPSing, if I enable such an option in the .config directly. This patch dynamically checks for the presence of the compiled-in default, and falls back to no-op, emitting a suitable error message, when the default is not available Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2.

My previous default iosched patch did a poor job dealing with the 'elevator=' boot-time option. The old behavior falls back to the compiled-in default if the requested one is not registered at boot time. This patch dynamically evaluates which default to use, and emits a suitable error message when the requested scheduler is not available. It also does the 'as' -> 'anticipatory' conversion before elevator registration, which along with a modified registration function, allows it to correctly indicate which default scheduler is in use. Tested for a range of boot options on 2.6.16-rc1-mm2. Signed-off-by:

If ordered tag isn't supported, request ordering for barrier sequencing is performed by queue draining, which basically hangs the request queue until elv_completed_request() reports completion of all previous fs requests. The condition check in elv_completed_request() was only performed for fs requests. If a special request is queued between the last to-be-drained request and the barrier sequence, draining is never completed and the queue is stalled forever. This patch moves the end-of-draining condition check such that it's performed for all requests. Signed-off-by:

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now. [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard sector size.

add @uptodate argument to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn(). there's no generic way to pass error code to request completion function, making generic error handling of non-fs request difficult (rq->errors is driver-specific and each driver uses it differently). this patch adds @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn(). for fs requests, this doesn't really matter, so just using the same uptodate argument used in the last call to end_that_request_first() should suffice. imho, this can also help the generic command-carrying request jens is working on.
