It is possible for raid5 to be sent a bio that is too big for an underlying
device. So if it is a READ that we pass stright down to a device, it will
fail and confuse RAID5.
So in 'chunk_aligned_read' we check that the bio fits within the parameters
for the target device and if it doesn't fit, fall back on reading through
the stripe cache and making lots of one-page requests.
Note that this is the earliest time we can check against the device because
earlier we don't have a lock on the device, so it could change underneath
us.
Also, the code for handling a retry through the cache when a read fails has
not been tested and was badly broken. This patch fixes that code.

Commit 85e04e371b5a321b5df2bc3f8e0099a64fb087d7 cleaned up the timeout
conversion, but did it exactly the wrong way. We get msecs from user
space, and should convert them into jiffies. Not the other way around.
Here is a fix with the overflow check sg.c has added in. This fixes DVD
burnign with Nero.

A flag was recently added to the elevator code to avoid
performing an unplug when reuests are being re-queued.
The goal of this flag was to avoid a deep recursion that
can occur when re-queueing requests after a SCSI device/host
reset. See http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/5/17/254
However, that fix added the flag near the bottom of a case
statement, where an earlier break (in an if statement) could
transport one out of the case, without setting the flag.
This patch sets the flag earlier in the case statement.
I re-discovered the deep recursion recently during testing;
I was told that it was a known problem, and the fix to it was
in the kernel I was testing. Indeed it was ... but it didn't
fix the bug. With the patch below, I no longer see the bug.

Two issues:
- The final return 1 should be a return 0, otherwise comparing cfqq is
a noop.
- bio_sync() only checks the sync flag, while rq_is_sync() checks both
for READ and sync. The latter is what we want. Expand the bio check
to include reads, and relax the restriction to allow merging of async
io into sync requests.
In the future we want to clean up the SYNC logic, right now it means
both sync request (such as READ and O_DIRECT WRITE) and unplug-on-issue.
Leave that for later.

The logic in cfq_allow_merge() wasn't clear enough - basically allow
merging for the same queues only. Do a fast check for 'rq and bio both
sync/async' before doing the cfqq hash lookup.
This is verified to work with the fixed elv_try_merge() from commit
bb4067e34159648d394943d5e2a011f838bff22f.

The recent io scheduler allow_merge commit left the block layer with

Currently we allow any merge, even if the io originates from different
processes. This can cause really bad starvation and unfairness, if those
ios happen to be synchronous (reads or direct writes).
So add a allow_merge hook to the io scheduler ops, so an io scheduler can
help decide whether a bio/process combination may be merged with an
existing request.

The blk_rq_unmap_user() API is not very nice. It expects the caller to
know that rq->bio has to be reset to the original bio, and it will
silently do nothing if that is not done. Instead make it explicit that
we need to pass in the first bio, by expecting a bio argument.

While working on bidi support at struct request level
I have found that blk_queue_activity_fn is actually never used.
The only user is in ide-probe.c with this code:
/* enable led activity for disk drives only */
if (drive->media == ide_disk && hwif->led_act)
blk_queue_activity_fn(q, hwif->led_act, drive);
And led_act is never initialized anywhere.
(Looking back at older kernels it was used in the PPC arch, but was removed around 2.6.18)
Unless it is all for future use off course.

This patch provides fault-injection capability for disk IO.
Boot option:
fail_make_request=<probability>,<interval>,<space>,<times>
<interval> -- specifies the interval of failures.
<probability> -- specifies how often it should fail in percent.
<space> -- specifies the size of free space where disk IO can be issued
safely in bytes.
<times> -- specifies how many times failures may happen at most.
Debugfs:
/debug/fail_make_request/interval
/debug/fail_make_request/probability
/debug/fail_make_request/specifies
/debug/fail_make_request/times
Example:
fail_make_request=10,100,0,-1
echo 1 > /sys/blocks/hda/hda1/make-it-fail
generic_make_request() on /dev/hda1 fails once per 10 times.

There was lots of #ifdef noise in the kernel due to hotcpu_notifier(fn,
prio) not correctly marking 'fn' as used in the !HOTPLUG_CPU case, and thus
generating compiler warnings of unused symbols, hence forcing people to add

the compiler can skip truly unused functions just fine:

The patch (as824b) makes percpu_free() ignore NULL arguments, as one would
expect for a deallocation routine. (Note that free_percpu is #defined as
percpu_free in include/linux/percpu.h.) A few callers are updated to remove
now-unneeded tests for NULL. A few other callers already seem to assume
that passing a NULL pointer to percpu_free() is okay!
The patch also removes an unnecessary NULL check in percpu_depopulate().

This adds a new timestamp message to blktrace, giving the timeofday when
we starting tracing. This helps user space correlate block trace events
with eg an application strace.
This requires a (compatible) update to blkparse. The changed blkparse
is still able to process traces generated by older kernels, and older
versions of blkparse should silently ignore the new records (because
they have a pid of 0).

Pass the work_struct pointer to the work function rather than context data.
The work function can use container_of() to work out the data.
For the cases where the container of the work_struct may go away the moment the
pending bit is cleared, it is made possible to defer the release of the
structure by deferring the clearing of the pending bit.
To make this work, an extra flag is introduced into the management side of the
work_struct. This governs auto-release of the structure upon execution.
Ordinarily, the work queue executor would release the work_struct for further
scheduling or deallocation by clearing the pending bit prior to jumping to the
work function. This means that, unless the driver makes some guarantee itself
that the work_struct won't go away, the work function may not access anything
else in the work_struct or its container lest they be deallocated.. This is a
problem if the auxiliary data is taken away (as done by the last patch).
However, if the pending bit is *not* cleared before jumping to the work
function, then the work function *may* access the work_struct and its container
with no problems. But then the work function must itself release the
work_struct by calling work_release().
In most cases, automatic release is fine, so this is the default. Special
initiators exist for the non-auto-release case (ending in _NAR).

In very rare circumstances would we be pruning a merged request and at

that process issued io again.

Congestion is a backing-dev concept, not a queue concept.
