2008-12-29bounce: don't rely on a zeroed bio_vec listJens Axboe
__blk_queue_bounce() relies on a zeroed bio_vec list, since it looks up arbitrary indexes in the allocated bio. The block layer only guarentees that added entries are valid, so clear memory after alloc. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-11-26blktrace: port to tracepoints, updateIngo Molnar
Port to the new tracepoints API: split DEFINE_TRACE() and DECLARE_TRACE() sites. Spread them out to the usage sites, as suggested by Mathieu Desnoyers. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@polymtl.ca>
2008-11-26blktrace: port to tracepointsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo
This was a forward port of work done by Mathieu Desnoyers, I changed it to encode the 'what' parameter on the tracepoint name, so that one can register interest in specific events and not on classes of events to then check the 'what' parameter.

2007-10-16block: Initial support for data-less (or empty) barrier supportJens Axboe
This implements functionality to pass down or insert a barrier in a queue, without having data attached to it. The ->prepare_flush_fn() infrastructure from data barriers are reused to provide this functionality. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-10Drop 'size' argument from bio_endio and bi_end_ioNeilBrown
As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete, the 'size' argument is now redundant. Remove it. Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed from bi_size. So don't do that either. While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-07-24[BLOCK] Get rid of request_queue_t typedefJens Axboe
Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with the proper type. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-03-27block: blk_max_pfn is somtimes wrongVasily Tarasov
There is a small problem in handling page bounce. At the moment blk_max_pfn equals max_pfn, which is in fact not maximum possible _number_ of a page frame, but the _amount_ of page frames. For example for the 32bit x86 node with 4Gb RAM, max_pfn = 0x100000, but not 0xFFFF. request_queue structure has a member q->bounce_pfn and queue needs bounce pages for the pages _above_ this limit. This routine is handled by blk_queue_bounce(), where the following check is produced: if (q->bounce_pfn >= blk_max_pfn) return; Assume, that a driver has set q->bounce_pfn to 0xFFFF, but blk_max_pfn equals 0x10000. In such situation the check above fails and for each bio we always fall down for iterating over pages tied to the bio. I want to notice, that for quite a big range of device drivers (ide, md, ...) such problem doesn't happen because they use BLK_BOUNCE_ANY for bounce_pfn. BLK_BOUNCE_ANY is defined as blk_max_pfn << PAGE_SHIFT, and then the check above doesn't fail. But for other drivers, which obtain reuired value from drivers, it fails. For example sata_nv uses ATA_DMA_MASK or dev->dma_mask. I propose to use (max_pfn - 1) for blk_max_pfn. And the same for blk_max_low_pfn. The patch also cleanses some checks related with bounce_pfn.

2007-01-12[PATCH] blktrace: only add a bounce trace when we really bounceJens Axboe
Currently we issue a bounce trace when __blk_queue_bounce() is called, but that merely means that the device has a lower dma mask than the higher pages in the system. The bio itself may still be lower pages. So move the bounce trace into __blk_queue_bounce(), when we know there will actually be page bouncing.

2006-09-30[PATCH] BLOCK: Separate the bounce buffering code from the highmem code [try #6]David Howells
Move the bounce buffer code from mm/highmem.c to mm/bounce.c so that it can be more easily disabled when the block layer is disabled. !!!NOTE!!! There may be a bug in this code: Should init_emergency_pool() be contingent on CONFIG_HIGHMEM? Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@kernel.dk>
