aoe: prevent cache aliases

2009-12-02T00:32:20Z

Prevent the AoE block driver from creating cache aliases of page cache pages on machines with virtually indexed caches. Building kernels on an AT91SAM9G20 board without this patch fails with segmentation faults after a couple of passes. Signed-off-by: Peter Horton Cc: "Ed L.

cciss: make device attrs static

2009-11-13T07:47:53Z

No need to export those device attributes. In fact, without this patch, we can trip over a build error if cciss is a built-in and another driver also declares and exports attributes with the same name. You'll see errors like: drivers/scsi/built-in.o: multiple definition of `dev_attr_lunid' drivers/block/built-in.o: first defined here Cc: Stephen M.

virtio_blk: Revert serial number support

2009-10-22T06:09:30Z

This reverts "Add serial number support for virtio_blk, V4a". Turns out that virtio_pci, lguest and s/390 all have an 8 bit limit on virtio config space, so noone could ever use this. This is coming back later in a cleaner form. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Cc: john cooper Cc: Jens Axboe

virtio: let header files include virtio_ids.h

2009-10-22T06:09:28Z

Rusty, commit 3ca4f5ca73057a617f9444a91022d7127041970a virtio: add virtio IDs file moved all device IDs into a single file. While the change itself is a very good one, it can break userspace applications. For example if a userspace tool wanted to get the ID of virtio_net it used to include virtio_net.h. This does no longer work, since virtio_net.h does not include virtio_ids.h. This patch moves all "#include " from the C files into the header files, making the header files compatible with the old ones. In addition, this patch exports virtio_ids.h to userspace.

virtio_blk: revert QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT addition

2009-10-22T06:09:26Z

It seems like the addition of QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT caueses major performance regressions for Fedora users: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=509383 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=505695 while I can't reproduce those extreme regressions myself I think the flag is wrong. Rationale: QUEUE_FLAG_VIRT expands to QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT which casus the queue unplugged immediately. This is not a good behaviour for at least qemu and kvm where we do have significant overhead for every I/O operations. Even with all the latested speeups (native AIO, MSI support, zero copy) we can only get native speed for up to 128kb I/O requests we already are down to 66% of native performance for 4kb requests even on my laptop running the Intel X25-M SSD for which the QUEUE_FLAG_NONROT was designed. If we ever get virtio-blk overhead low enough that this flag makes sense it should only be set based on a feature flag set by the host. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

cciss: Add cciss_allow_hpsa module parameter

2009-10-13T07:18:22Z

Add cciss_allow_hpsa module parameter. This parameter causes the cciss driver to ignore any Smart Array devices known to be supported by the hpsa driver. Signed-off-by: Stephen M. Cameron Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

cciss: Fix multiple calls to pci_release_regions

2009-10-13T07:18:22Z

Fix multiple calls to pci_release_regions. If cciss_pci_init fails, it already does any necessary call to pci_release_regions, so this does not need to be done again in cciss_init_one in that case. Signed-off-by: Stephen M. Cameron Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
