mptfusion: fix msgContext in mptctl_hp_hostinfo

2014-05-28T16:14:16Z

Hi, without this patch the istwiRWRequest->MsgContext is always set to zero, this patch saves the MsgContext in a msgcontext variable and then restores the value. Thanks to David Jeffery who found the issue and did the analysis. Signed-off-by: Tomas Henzl Acked-by: Desai, Kashyap Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Removing the host_lock from the I/O submission path gives a huge scalability improvement. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox Reviewed-by: Nicholas Bellinger Reviewed-by: Praveen Krishnamoorthy Acked-by: Sreekanth Reddy Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

fusion: Add free msg frames to the head, not tail of list

2014-05-28T16:13:24Z

Reusing a msg frame quickly means it's still cache-hot. This yields a small but noticable performance improvement in a well-known database benchmark. This improvement is already present in the mpt3sas driver.

Merge branch 'for-3.14/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2014-01-30T19:19:05Z

Pull core block IO changes from Jens Axboe: "The major piece in here is the immutable bio_ve series from Kent, the rest is fairly minor. It was supposed to go in last round, but various issues pushed it to this release instead. The pull request contains: - Various smaller blk-mq fixes from different folks. Nothing major here, just minor fixes and cleanups. - Fix for a memory leak in the error path in the block ioctl code from Christian Engelmayer. - Header export fix from CaiZhiyong. - Finally the immutable biovec changes from Kent Overstreet. This enables some nice future work on making arbitrarily sized bios possible, and splitting more efficient. Related fixes to immutable bio_vecs: - dm-cache immutable fixup from Mike Snitzer. - btrfs immutable fixup from Muthu Kumar. - bio-integrity fix from Nic Bellinger, which is also going to stable" * 'for-3.14/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block: (44 commits) xtensa: fixup simdisk driver to work with immutable bio_vecs block/blk-mq-cpu.c: use hotcpu_notifier() blk-mq: for_each_* macro correctness block: Fix memory leak in rw_copy_check_uvector() handling bio-integrity: Fix bio_integrity_verify segment start bug block: remove unrelated header files and export symbol blk-mq: uses page->list incorrectly blk-mq: use __smp_call_function_single directly btrfs: fix missing increment of bi_remaining Revert "block: Warn and free bio if bi_end_io is not set" block: Warn and free bio if bi_end_io is not set blk-mq: fix initializing request's start time block: blk-mq: don't export blk_mq_free_queue() block: blk-mq: make blk_sync_queue support mq block: blk-mq: support draining mq queue dm cache: increment bi_remaining when bi_end_io is restored block: fixup for generic bio chaining block: Really silence spurious compiler warnings block: Silence spurious compiler warnings block: Kill bio_pair_split() ...

MPT / PCI: Use pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device_locked()

2014-01-14T19:14:25Z

Race conditions are theoretically possible between the MPT PCI device removal and the generic PCI bus rescan and device removal that can be triggered via sysfs. To avoid those race conditions make the MPT PCI code use pci_stop_and_remove_bus_device_locked(). Signed-off-by: Rafael J. Wysocki Signed-off-by: Bjorn Helgaas

block: Kill bio_segments()/bi_vcnt usage

2013-11-24T06:33:51Z

When we start sharing biovecs, keeping bi_vcnt accurate for splits is going to be error prone - and unnecessary, if we refactor some code. So bio_segments() has to go - but most of the existing users just needed to know if the bio had multiple segments, which is easier - add a bio_multiple_segments() for them. (Two of the current uses of bio_segments() are going to go away in a couple patches, but the current implementation of bio_segments() is unsafe as soon as we start doing driver conversions for immutable biovecs - so implement a dumb version for bisectability, it'll go away in a couple patches) Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Neil Brown Cc: Nagalakshmi Nandigama Cc: Sreekanth Reddy Cc: "James E.J.

procfs: new helper - PDE_DATA(inode)

2013-04-09T18:13:32Z

The only part of proc_dir_entry the code outside of fs/proc really cares about is PDE(inode)->data. Provide a helper for that; static inline for now, eventually will be moved to fs/proc, along with the knowledge of struct proc_dir_entry layout. Signed-off-by: Al Viro
