block: add bsg helper library

2011-07-31T20:05:09Z

This moves the FC classes bsg code to the block layer and makes it a lib so that other classes like iscsi and SAS can use it. It is helpful because working with the request queue, bios, creating scatterlists, etc are a pain that the LLD does not have to worry about with normal IOs and should not have to worry about for bsg requests.

kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT

2011-01-21T01:02:05Z

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than only small devices. This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they are making should enable it.

blkio: Core implementation of throttle policy

2010-09-16T06:42:52Z

o Actual implementation of throttling policy in block layer. Currently it implements READ and WRITE bytes per second throttling logic. IOPS throttling comes in later patches. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

blk-cgroup: config options re-arrangement

2010-04-26T17:27:56Z

This patch fixes few usability and configurability issues. o All the cgroup based controller options are configurable from "Genral Setup/Control Group Support/" menu. blkio is the only exception. Hence make this option visible in above menu and make it configurable from there to bring it inline with rest of the cgroup based controllers. o Get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED. This option currently does two things. - Enable printing of cgroup paths in blktrace - Enables CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP, which in turn displays additional stat files in cgroup. If we are using group scheduling, blktrace data is of not really much use if cgroup information is not present. To get this data, currently one has to also enable CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED, which in turn brings the overhead of all the additional debug stat files which is not desired. Hence, this patch moves printing of cgroup paths under CONFIG_CFQ_GROUP_IOSCHED. This allows us to get rid of CONFIG_DEBUG_CFQ_IOSCHED completely. Now all the debug stat files are controlled only by CONFIG_DEBUG_BLK_CGROUP which can be enabled through config menu.

o This is basic implementation of blkio controller cgroup interface. This is the common interface visible to user space and should be used by different IO control policies as we implement those. Signed-off-by: Vivek Goyal Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Make SCSI SG v4 driver enabled by default and remove EXPERIMENTAL dependency, since udev depends on BSG

2009-08-04T20:10:17Z

Make Block Layer SG support v4 the default, since recent udev versions depend on this to access serial numbers and other low level info properly. This should be backported to older kernels as well, since most distros have enabled this for a long time. Signed-off-by: John Stoffel Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: rename CONFIG_LBD to CONFIG_LBDAF

Follow-up to "block: enable by default support for large devices and files on 32-bit archs". Rename CONFIG_LBD to CONFIG_LBDAF to: - allow update of existing [def]configs for "default y" change - reflect that it is used also for large files support nowadays Signed-off-by: Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
