NBD does not protect the nbd_device's socket from becoming NULL during

This closes a race with the NBD_CLEAR_SOCK ioctl (nbd-client -d) setting

This patch removes the #define READ_AHEAD 1024 from the driver and uses the
block layer defaults, instead. We have found that under certain workloads
the setting can cause a disk connected to the e200 controller to go offline.
If the disk hiccups the link may try to downshift but the controller is
never notified that the link successfully completed the renegotiation.
We've also found that performance using the block layer default of 32 pages
was on par with the 1024 setting. We tried setting it to zero at one time
based on info from our firmware guys but that killed performance. Turns out
we were talking about 2 different read ahead settings.

NBD doesn't work well with CFQ (or AS) schedulers, so let's default to
something else.
The two problems I have experienced with nbd and cfq are:
1) nbd hangs with cfq on RHEL 5 (2.6.18) -- this may well have been
fixed
There's a similar debian bug that has been filed as well:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447638
There have been posts to nbd-general mailing list about problems with
cfq and nbd also.
2) nbd performs about 10% better (the last time I tested) with deadline
vs. cfq (the overhead of cfq doesn't provide much advantage to nbd [not
being a real disk], and you end up going through the I/O scheduler on
the nbd server anyway, so it makes sense that deadline is better with
nbd)

An AoE target provides an estimate of the number of outstanding commands that
the AoE initiator can send before getting a response. The aoe_maxout
parameter provides a way to set an even lower limit. It will not allow a user
to use more outstanding commands than the target permits. If a user discovers
a problem with a large setting, this parameter provides a way for us to work
with them to debug the problem. We expect to improve the dynamic window
sizing algorithm and drop this parameter. For the time being, it is a

What this Patch Does
Even before this recent series of 12 patches to 2.6.22-rc4, the aoe
driver was reusing a small set of skbs that were allocated once and
were only used for outbound AoE commands.
The network layer cannot be allowed to put_page on the data that is
still associated with a bio we haven't returned to the block layer,
so the aoe driver (even before the patch under discussion) is still
the owner of skbs that have been handed to the network layer for
transmission. We need to keep track of these skbs so that we can
free them, but by tracking them, we can also easily re-use them.
The new patch was a response to the behavior of certain network
drivers. We cannot reuse an skb that the network driver still has
in its transmit ring. Network drivers can defer transmit ring
cleanup and then use the state in the skb to determine how many data
segments to clean up in its transmit ring. The tg3 driver is one
driver that behaves in this way.
When the network driver defers cleanup of its transmit ring, the aoe
driver can find itself in a situation where it would like to send an
AoE command, and the AoE target is ready for more work, but the
network driver still has all of the pre-allocated skbs. In that
case, the new patch just calls alloc_skb, as you'd expect.
We don't want to get carried away, though. We try not to do
excessive allocation in the write path, so we cap the number of skbs
we dynamically allocate.
Probably calling it a "dynamic pool" is misleading. We were already
trying to use a small fixed-size set of pre-allocated skbs before
this patch, and this patch just provides a little headroom (with a
ceiling, though) to accomodate network drivers that hang onto skbs,
by allocating when needed. The d->skbpool_hd list of allocated skbs
is necessary so that we can free them later.
We didn't notice the need for this headroom until AoE targets got
fast enough.
Alternatives
If the network layer never did a put_page on the pages in the bio's
we get from the block layer, then it would be possible for us to
hand skbs to the network layer and forget about them, allowing the
network layer to free skbs itself (and thereby calling our own
skb->destructor callback function if we needed that). In that case
we could get rid of the pre-allocated skbs and also the
d->skbpool_hd, instead just calling alloc_skb every time we wanted
to transmit a packet. The slab allocator would effectively maintain
the list of skbs.
Besides a loss of CPU cache locality, the main concern with that
approach the danger that it would increase the likelihood of
deadlock when VM is trying to free pages by writing dirty data from
the page cache through the aoe driver out to persistent storage on
an AoE device. Right now we have a situation where we have
pre-allocation that corresponds to how much we use, which seems
ideal.
Of course, there's still the separate issue of receiving the packets
that tell us that a write has successfully completed on the AoE
target. When memory is low and VM is using AoE to flush dirty data
to free up pages, it would be perfect if there were a way for us to
register a fast callback that could recognize write command
completion responses. But I don't think the current problems with
the receive side of the situation are a justification for
exacerbating the problem on the transmit side.

When an AoE device is detected, the kernel is informed, and a new block device
is created. If the device is unused, the block device corresponding to remote
device that is no longer available may be removed from the system by telling
the aoe driver to "flush" its list of devices.
Without this patch, software like GPFS and LVM may attempt to read from AoE
devices that were discovered earlier but are no longer present, blocking until
the I/O attempt times out.

A remote AoE device is something can process ATA commands and is identified by
an AoE shelf number and an AoE slot number. Such a device might have more
than one network interface, and it might be reachable by more than one local
network interface. This patch tracks the available network paths available to
each AoE device, allowing them to be used more efficiently.
Andrew Morton asked about the call to msleep_interruptible in the revalidate
function. Yes, if a signal is pending, then msleep_interruptible will not
return 0. That means we will not loop but will call aoenet_xmit with a NULL
skb, which is a noop. If the system is too low on memory or the aoe driver is
too low on frames, then the user can hit control-C to interrupt the attempt to
do a revalidate. I have added a comment to the code summarizing that.
Andrew Morton asked whether the allocation performed inside addtgt could use a
more relaxed allocation like GFP_KERNEL, but addtgt is called when the aoedev
lock has been locked with spin_lock_irqsave. It would be nice to allocate the
memory under fewer restrictions, but targets are only added when the device is
being discovered, and if the target can't be added right now, we can try again
in a minute when then next AoE config query broadcast goes out.
Andrew Morton pointed out that the "too many targets" message could be printed
for failing GFP_ATOMIC allocations. The last patch in this series makes the
messages more specific.

This is a rewrite of the ramdisk block device driver.
The old one is really difficult because it effectively implements a block
device which serves data out of its own buffer cache. It relies on the dirty
bit being set, to pin its backing store in cache, however there are non
trivial paths which can clear the dirty bit (eg. try_to_free_buffers()),
which had recently lead to data corruption. And in general it is completely
wrong for a block device driver to do this.
The new one is more like a regular block device driver. It has no idea about
vm/vfs stuff. It's backing store is similar to the buffer cache (a simple
radix-tree of pages), but it doesn't know anything about page cache (the pages
in the radix tree are not pagecache pages).
There is one slight downside -- direct block device access and filesystem
metadata access goes through an extra copy and gets stored in RAM twice.
However, this downside is only slight, because the real buffercache of the
device is now reclaimable (because we're not playing crazy games with it), so
under memory intensive situations, footprint should effectively be the same --
maybe even a slight advantage to the new driver because it can also reclaim
buffer heads.
The fact that it now goes through all the regular vm/fs paths makes it
much more useful for testing, too.
text data bss dec hex filename
2837 849 384 4070 fe6 drivers/block/rd.o
3528 371 12 3911 f47 drivers/block/brd.o
Text is larger, but data and bss are smaller, making total size smaller.
A few other nice things about it:
- Similar structure and layout to the new loop device handlinag.
- Dynamic ramdisk creation.
- Runtime flexible buffer head size (because it is no longer part of the
ramdisk code).
- Boot / load time flexible ramdisk size, which could easily be extended
to a per-ramdisk runtime changeable size (eg. with an ioctl).
- Can use highmem for the backing store.

In general, so that we can automatically allocate loop devices (as with

In particular, right now, so that we can stop relying on the hackish
special-case in umount(8) which kills off loop devices which were set up by
'mount -oloop'. That means we can stop putting crap in /etc/mtab which

Currently virtio_blk creates the disk name combinging "vd" with 'a'++.
This will give strange names after vdz. I have implemented names up to

There is one driver in the kernel (driver/s390/block/dasd_genhd.c) that

A reset function solves three problems:
1) It allows us to renegotiate features, eg. if we want to upgrade a
guest driver without rebooting the guest.
2) It gives us a clean way of shutting down virtqueues: after a reset,
we know that the buffers won't be used by the host, and
3) It helps the guest recover from messed-up drivers.
So we remove the ->shutdown hook, and the only way we now remove
feature bits is via reset.
We leave it to the driver to do the reset before it deletes queues:
the balloon driver, for example, needs to chat to the host in its
remove function.

It seems that virtio_net wants to disable callbacks (interrupts) before
calling netif_rx_schedule(), so we can't use the return value to do so.

Previously we used a type/len pair within the config space, but this
seems overkill. We now simply define a structure which represents the
layout in the config space: the config space can now only be extended
at the end.
The main driver-visible changes:
1) We indicate what fields are present with an explicit feature bit.
2) Virtqueues are explicitly numbered, and not in the config space.

This patch converts xsysace to use blk_end_request interfaces.
Related 'uptodate' arguments are converted to 'error'.
xsysace is a little bit different from "normal" drivers.
xsysace driver has a state machine in it.
It calls end_that_request_first() and end_that_request_last()
from different states. (ACE_FSM_STATE_REQ_TRANSFER and
ACE_FSM_STATE_REQ_COMPLETE, respectively.)
However, those states are consecutive and without any interruption
inbetween.
So we can just follow the standard conversion rule (b) mentioned in
the patch subject "[PATCH 01/30] blk_end_request: add new request
completion interface".

This patch adds support for the GD-Rom drive, SEGA's proprietary
implementation of an IDE CD Rom for the SEGA Dreamcast. This driver
implements Sega's Packet Interface (SPI) - at least partially. It will
also read disks in SEGA's propreitary GD format.
Unlike previous drivers (which were never in mainline) this uses DMA and
not PIO to read disks. It is a new driver, not a refactoring of old
drivers.

We have seen ramdisk based install systems, where some pages of mapped
libraries and programs were suddendly zeroed under memory pressure. This
should not happen, as the ramdisk avoids freeing its pages by keeping them
dirty all the time.
It turns out that there is a case, where the VM makes a ramdisk page clean,
without telling the ramdisk driver. On memory pressure shrink_zone runs
and it starts to run shrink_active_list. There is a check for
buffer_heads_over_limit, and if true, pagevec_strip is called.
pagevec_strip calls try_to_release_page. If the mapping has no releasepage
callback, try_to_free_buffers is called. try_to_free_buffers has now a
special logic for some file systems to make a dirty page clean, if all
buffers are clean. Thats what happened in our test case.
The simplest solution is to provide a noop-releasepage callback for the
ramdisk driver. This avoids try_to_free_buffers for ramdisk pages.

The pf driver for parallel port floppy drives seems to be broken. At least
with Imation SuperDisk with EPAT chip, the driver calls pi_connect() and
pi_disconnect after each transferred sector. At least with EPAT, this
operation is very expensive - causes drive recalibration. Thus, transferring
even a single byte (dd if=/dev/pf0 of=/dev/null bs=1 count=1) takes 20
seconds, making the driver useless.
The pf_next_buf() function seems to be broken as it returns 1 always (except
when pf_run is non-zero), causing the loop in do_pf_read_drq (and
do_pf_write_drq) to be executed only once.
The following patch fixes this problem. It also fixes swapped descriptions in
pf_lock() function and removes DBMSG macro, which seems useless.

Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the
request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector
and inbuf id. The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last
sg is the status byte. Whether the N entries are in or out depends on
whether it's a read or a write.
We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other
side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported. It's
not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know
if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir().
Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd,
CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace. This needs a separate
patch.
