Currently there is no barrier support in the block device code. That
means we cannot guarantee any sort of data integerity when using the
block device node with dis kwrite caches enabled. Using the raw block
device node is a typical use case for virtualization (and I assume
databases, too). This patch changes block_fsync to issue a cache flush
and thus make fsync on block device nodes actually useful.
Note that in mainline we would also need to add such code to the
->aio_write method for O_SYNC handling, but assuming that Jan's patch
series for the O_SYNC rewrite goes in it will also call into ->fsync
for 2.6.32.

There's nothing block related about them, the backing device
is used by things like NFS etc as well. This gets rid of the
need to protect such calls by CONFIG_BLOCK.

Hi,
Some workloads issue batches of small I/O, and the performance is poor
due to the call to blk_run_address_space for every single iocb. Nathan
Roberts pointed this out, and suggested that by deferring this call
until all I/Os in the iocb array are submitted to the block layer, we
can realize some impressive performance gains (up to 30% for sequential
4k reads in batches of 16).

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.

If active queue hasn't enough requests and idle window opens, cfq will not
dispatch sufficient requests to hardware. In such situation, current code
will zero hw_tag. But this is because cfq doesn't dispatch enough requests
instead of hardware queue doesn't work. Don't zero hw_tag in such case.

The flag used to indicate that a cfqq was allowed to jump ahead in the
scheduling order due to submitting a request close to the queue that
just executed. Since closely cooperating queues are now merged, the flag
holds little meaning. Change it to indicate that multiple queues were
merged. This will later be used to allow the breaking up of merged queues
when they are no longer cooperating.

When cooperating cfq_queues are detected currently, they are allowed to
skip ahead in the scheduling order. It is much more efficient to
automatically share the cfq_queue data structure between cooperating processes.
Performance of the read-test2 benchmark (which is written to emulate the
dump(8) utility) went from 12MB/s to 90MB/s on my SATA disk. NFS servers
with multiple nfsd threads also saw performance increases.

async cfq_queue's are already shared between processes within the same
priority, and forthcoming patches will change the mapping of cic to sync
cfq_queue from 1:1 to 1:N. So, calculate the seekiness of a process
based on the cfq_queue instead of the cfq_io_context.

The destination keyring specified to request_key() and co. is made available to
the process that instantiates the key (the slave process started by
/sbin/request-key typically). This is passed in the request_key_auth struct as
the dest_keyring member.
keyctl_instantiate_key and keyctl_negate_key() call get_instantiation_keyring()
to get the keyring to attach the newly constructed key to at the end of
instantiation. This may be given a specific keyring into which a link will be
made later, or it may be asked to find the keyring passed to request_key(). In
the former case, it returns a keyring with the refcount incremented by
lookup_user_key(); in the latter case, it returns the keyring from the
request_key_auth struct - and does _not_ increment the refcount.
The latter case will eventually result in an oops when the keyring prematurely
runs out of references and gets destroyed. The effect may take some time to
show up as the key is destroyed lazily.
To fix this, the keyring returned by get_instantiation_keyring() must always
have its refcount incremented, no matter where it comes from.
This can be tested by setting /etc/request-key.conf to:
#OP TYPE DESCRIPTION CALLOUT INFO PROGRAM ARG1 ARG2 ARG3 ...
#====== ======= =============== =============== ===============================
create * test:* * |/bin/false %u %g %d %{user:_display}
negate * * * /bin/keyctl negate %k 10 @u
and then doing:
keyctl add user _display aaaaaaaa @u
while keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u &&
keyctl list @u;
do
keyctl request2 user test:x test:x @u;
sleep 31;
keyctl list @u;
done
which will oops eventually. Changing the negate line to have @u rather than
%S at the end is important as that forces the latter case by passing a special
keyring ID rather than an actual keyring ID.

This was broken by commit e9216651.
The compat_unimap_ioctl was originally called do_unimap_ioctl in
fs/compat_ioctl.h which got moved to drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c.
In that patch, the caller was not updated and consequently called

There is a possible race condition in clockdomain
code handling hw supported idle transitions.
When multiple autodeps dependencies are being added
or removed, a transition of still remaining dependent
powerdomain can result in false readings of the
state counter. This is especially fatal for off mode
state counter, as it could result in a driver not
noticing a context loss.
Fixed by disabling hw supported state transitions
when autodeps are being changed.
