2006-06-27ACPI: acpi_os_wait_semaphore(): silence complaintBjorn Helgaas
The ASL Acquire operator (17.5.1 in ACPI 3.0 spec) is allowed to time out and return True without acquiring the semaphore. There's no indication in the spec that this is an actual error, so this message should be debug-only, as the message for successful acquisition is. This used to be an ACPI_DEBUG_PRINT, but it was mis-classified as ACPI_DB_ERROR rather than ACPI_DB_MUTEX, so it got swept up in Thomas' recent patch to enable ACPI error messages even without CONFIG_ACPI_DEBUG.

This reverts commit c7b2eff059fcc2d1b7085ee3d84b79fd657a537b. Hugh Dickins explains: "It seems too little tested: "losetup -d /dev/loop0" fails with EINVAL because nothing sets lo_thread; but even when you patch loop_thread() to set lo->lo_thread = current, it can't survive more than a few dozen iterations of the loop below (with a tmpfs mounted on /tst): j=0 cp /dev/zero /tst while : do let j=j+1 echo "Doing pass $j" losetup /dev/loop0 /tst/zero mkfs -t ext2 -b 1024 /dev/loop0 >/dev/null 2>&1 mount -t ext2 /dev/loop0 /mnt umount /mnt losetup -d /dev/loop0 done it collapses with failed ioctl then BUG_ON(!bio).

2006-06-26[PATCH] i386/x86-64/ia64: Move polling flag into thread_info_statusAndi Kleen
During some profiling I noticed that default_idle causes a lot of memory traffic. I think that is caused by the atomic operations to clear/set the polling flag in thread_info. There is actually no reason to make this atomic - only the idle thread does it to itself, other CPUs only read it. So I moved it into ti->status. Converted i386/x86-64/ia64 for now because that was the easiest way to fix ACPI which also manipulates these flags in its idle function.

2006-06-26Clean up 'inline is not at beginning' warnings for usb storageJesper Juhl
Usually we don't care much about 'gcc -W' warnings, but some of us do build kernels that way to look for problems, and then the fewer warnings we have to wade through the better. Especially when they are very easy and non-intrusive to clean up. Which is the case for the following warnings spewed by drivers/usb/storage/usb.h : drivers/usb/storage/usb.h:163: warning: `inline' is not at beginning of +declaration drivers/usb/storage/usb.h:166: warning: `inline' is not at beginning of +declaration There's also some precedence for cleaning up these warnings.

The array can be reconfigured. Writing this, if accepted, will block until array is quiescent readonly no resync can happen. no superblocks get written. write requests fail read-auto like readonly, but behaves like 'clean' on a write request. clean - no pending writes, but otherwise active. When written to inactive array, starts without resync If a write request arrives then if metadata is known, mark 'dirty' and switch to 'active'. if not known, block and switch to write-pending If written to an active array that has pending writes, then fails. active fully active: IO and resync can be happening. When written to inactive array, starts with resync write-pending (not supported yet) clean, but writes are blocked waiting for 'active' to be written. active-idle like active, but no writes have been seen for a while (100msec).

2006-06-26[PATCH] md: Don't write dirty/clean update to spares - leave them aloneNeilBrown
- record the 'event' count on each individual device (they might sometimes be slightly different now) - add a new value for 'sb_dirty': '3' means that the super block only needs to be updated to record a clean<->dirty transition. - Prefer odd event numbers for dirty states and even numbers for clean states - Using all the above, don't update the superblock on a spare device if the update is just doing a clean-dirty transition. To accomodate this, a transition from dirty back to clean might now decrement the events counter if nothing else has changed. The net effect of this is that spare drives will not see any IO requests during normal running of the array, so they can go to sleep if that is what they want to do.

2006-06-26[PATCH] md: Allow re-add to work on array without bitmapsNeilBrown
When an array has a bitmap, a device can be removed and re-added and only blocks changes since the removal (as recorded in the bitmap) will be resynced. It should be possible to do a similar thing to arrays without bitmaps. i.e. if a device is removed and re-added and *no* changes have been made in the interim, then the add should not require a resync. This patch allows that option. This means that when assembling an array one device at a time (e.g. during device discovery) the array can be enabled read-only as soon as enough devices are available, but extra devices can still be added without causing a resync.

2006-06-26[PATCH] md: Change md/bitmap file handling to use bmap to file blocks-fixNeilBrown
Fix problems with new bmap based access to bitmap files. 1/ When not using a file based bitmap, attach a NULL list of buffers to each page so the common free_buffer routine can cope. 2/ Use submit_bh to read as well as write, rather than vfs_read. This makes read and write more symetric. 3/ sync the file before reading, to ensure that the page cache has no dirty pages that might get written out later.

2006-06-26[PATCH] md/bitmap: change md/bitmap file handling to use bmap to file blocksNeilBrown
If md is asked to store a bitmap in a file, it tries to hold onto the page cache pages for that file, manipulate them directly, and call a cocktail of operations to write the file out. I don't believe this is a supportable approach. This patch changes the approach to use the same approach as swap files. i.e. bmap is used to enumerate all the block address of parts of the file and we write directly to those blocks of the device. swapfile only uses parts of the file that provide a full pages at contiguous addresses. We don't have that luxury so we have to cope with pages that are non-contiguous in storage. To handle this we attach buffers to each page, and store the addresses in those buffers. With this approach the pagecache may contain data which is inconsistent with what is on disk. To alleviate the problems this can cause, md invalidates the pagecache when releasing the file. If the file is to be examined while the array is active (a non-critical but occasionally useful function), O_DIRECT io must be used. And new version of mdadm will have support for this. This approach simplifies a lot of code: - we no longer need to keep a list of pages which we need to wait for, as the b_endio function can keep track of how many outstanding writes there are. This saves a mempool. - -EAGAIN returns from write_page are no longer possible (not sure if they ever were actually).

In particular, this means that we use 4 bits per page instead of a whole unsigned long. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-26[PATCH] md/bitmap: cleaner separation of page attribute handlers in md/bitmapNeilBrown
md/bitmap has some attributes per-page. Handling of these attributes in largely abstracted in set_page_attr and clear_page_attr. However get_page_attr exposes the format used to store them. So prior to changing that format, introduce test_page_attr instead of get_page_attr, and make appropriate usage changes.

2006-06-26[PATCH] md/bitmap: remove bitmap writeback daemonNeilBrown
md/bitmap currently has a separate thread to wait for writes to the bitmap file to complete (as we cannot get a callback on that action). However this isn't needed as bitmap_unplug is called from process context and waits for the writeback thread to do it's work. The same result can be achieved by doing the waiting directly in bitmap_unplug.

2006-06-26[PATCH] md/bitmap: fix online removal of file-backed bitmapsNeilBrown
When "mdadm --grow /dev/mdX --bitmap=none" is used to remove a filebacked bitmap, the bitmap was disconnected from the array, but the file wasn't closed (until the array was stopped). The file also wasn't closed if adding the bitmap file failed. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-06-26[PATCH] md: support stripe/offset mode in raid10NeilBrown
The "industry standard" DDF format allows for a stripe/offset layout where data is duplicated on different stripes. e.g. A B C D D A B C E F G H H E F G (columns are drives, rows are stripes, LETTERS are chunks of data). This is similar to raid10's 'far' mode, but not quite the same. So enhance 'far' mode with a 'far/offset' option which follows the layout of DDFs stripe/offset.

2006-06-26[PATCH] md: allow checkpoint of recovery with version-1 superblockNeilBrown
For a while we have had checkpointing of resync. The version-1 superblock allows recovery to be checkpointed as well, and this patch implements that. Due to early carelessness we need to add a feature flag to signal that the recovery_offset field is in use, otherwise older kernels would assume that a partially recovered array is in fact fully recovered.
