There seems to be a regression in direct write path due to following
commit in for-2.6.33 branch of block tree.
commit 1af60fbd759d31f565552fea315c2033947cfbe6
Author: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@redhat.com>
Date: Fri Oct 2 18:56:53 2009 -0400
block: get rid of the WRITE_ODIRECT flag
Marking direct writes as WRITE_SYNC_PLUG instead of WRITE_ODIRECT, sets
the NOIDLE flag in bio and hence in request. This tells CFQ to not expect
more request from the queue and not idle on it (despite the fact that
queue's think time is less and it is not seeky).
So direct writers lose big time when competing with sequential readers.
Using fio, I have run one direct writer and two sequential readers and
following are the results with 2.6.32-rc7 kernel and with for-2.6.33
branch.
Test
====
1 direct writer and 2 sequential reader running simultaneously.
[global]
directory=/mnt/sdc/fio/
runtime=10
[seqwrite]
rw=write
size=4G
direct=1
[seqread]
rw=read
size=2G
numjobs=2
2.6.32-rc7
==========
direct writes: aggrb=2,968KB/s
readers : aggrb=101MB/s
for-2.6.33 branch
=================
direct write: aggrb=19KB/s
readers aggrb=137MB/s
This patch brings back the WRITE_ODIRECT flag, with the difference that we
don't set the BIO_RW_UNPLUG flag so that device is not unplugged after
submission of request and an explicit unplug from submitter is required.
That way we fix the jeff's issue of not enough merging taking place in aio
path as well as make sure direct writes get their fair share.
After the fix
=============
for-2.6.33 + fix
----------------
direct writes: aggrb=2,728KB/s
reads: aggrb=103MB/s
Thanks

Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request. So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases. The patch fixes this.
The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op. Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.
See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

Platform drivers registered via platform_driver_probe() can be bound
to devices only once, upon registration, because discard their probe()
routines to save memory. Unbinding the driver through sysfs 'unbind'
leaves the device stranded and confuses users so let's not create
bind and unbind attributes for such drivers.

strstrip() can return a modified value of its input argument, when
removing elading whitesapce. So it is surely bug for this function's
return value to be ignored. The caller is probably going to use the
incorrect original pointer.
So mark it __must_check to prevent this frm happening (as it has before).

e180a6b7759a "param: fix charp parameters set via sysfs" fixed the case
where charp parameters written via sysfs were freed, leaving drivers
accessing random memory.
Unfortunately, storing a flag in the kparam struct was a bad idea: it's
rodata so setting it causes an oops on some archs. But that's not all:
1) module_param_array() on charp doesn't work reliably, since we use an
uninitialized temporary struct kernel_param.
2) there's a fundamental race if a module uses this parameter and then
it's changed: they will still access the old, freed, memory.
The simplest fix (ie. for 2.6.32) is to never free the memory. This
prevents all these problems, at cost of a memory leak. In practice, there
are only 18 places where a charp is writable via sysfs, and all are
root-only writable.

Hi,
The WRITE_ODIRECT flag is only used in one place, and that code path
happens to also call blk_run_address_space. The introduction of this
flag, then, could result in the device being unplugged twice for every
I/O.
Further, with the batching changes in the next patch, we don't want an
O_DIRECT write to imply a queue unplug.

Rusty,
commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a
virtio: add virtio IDs file
moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is
a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example
if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to
include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h
does not include virtio_ids.h.
This patch moves all "#include <linux/virtio_ids.h>" from the C
files into the header files, making the header files compatible with
the old ones.
In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

For the short term, map synchronize_rcu_expedited() to

Longer term, there needs to be a real expedited grace period for
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU, but candidate patches to date are considerably
more complex and intrusive.

ieee80211_rx() must be called with softirqs disabled
since the networking stack requires this for netif_rx()
and some code in mac80211 can assume that it can not
be processing its own tasklet and this call at the same
time.
It may be possible to remove this requirement after a
careful audit of mac80211 and doing any needed locking
improvements in it along with disabling softirqs around
netif_rx(). An alternative might be to push all packet
processing to process context in mac80211, instead of
to the tasklet, and add other synchronisation.

This patch (as1295) fixes a recently-added bug in the USB serial core.
If certain kinds of errors occur during probing, the core may call a
serial driver's release method without previously calling the attach
method. This causes some drivers (io_ti in particular) to perform an
invalid memory access.
The patch adds a new flag to keep track of whether or not attach has
been called.

Since the beginnings in aafe4dbed0bf6cbdb2e9f03e1d42f8a540d8541d
("asm-generic: add generic versions of common headers") the generic
version of <asm/hardirq.h> defined __softirq_pending as unsigned long.
Which is different from other architectures for no apparent good reason
and was causing the following warning:
kernel/time/tick-sched.c: In function 'tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick':
kernel/time/tick-sched.c:261: warning: format '%02x' expects type 'unsigned int', but argument 2 has type 'long unsigned int'
Reported and initial patch by Wu Zhangjin <wuzhangjin@gmail.com>.

[ Arnd points out that we really should make sure parisc and alpha are
ok with this, since they have also been converted to use the generic
hardirq.h file. But neither seems to use it, although parisc does
build a IRQSTAT_SIRQ_PEND #define into asm-offsets - but that also
appears unused.. - Linus ]
