      "message": "block: add one-hit cache for disk partition lookup\n\ndisk_map_sector_rcu() returns a partition from a sector offset,\nwhich we use for IO statistics on a per-partition basis. The\nlookup itself is an O(N) list lookup, where N is the number of\npartitions. This actually hurts performance quite a bit, even\non the lower end partitions. On higher numbered partitions,\nit can get pretty bad.\n\nSolve this by adding a one-hit cache for partition lookup.\nThis makes the lookup O(1) for the case where we do most IO to\none partition. Even for mixed partition workloads, amortized cost\nis pretty close to O(1) since the natural IO batching makes the\none-hit cache last for lots of IOs.\n\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003cjens.axboe@oracle.com\u003e\n"

All\ninformation about the whole disk was in struct genhd and partitions in\nstruct hd_struct.  However, the whole disk (part0) and other\npartitions have a lot in common and the data structures end up having\ngood number of common fields and thus separate code paths doing the\nsame thing.  Also, the partition array was indexed by partno - 1 which\ngets pretty confusing at times.\n\nThis patch introduces partition 0 and makes the partition array\nindexed by partno.  Following patches will unify the handling of disk\nand parts piece-by-piece.\n\nThis patch also implements disk_partitionable() which tests whether a\ndisk is partitionable.

      "message": "block: fix diskstats access\n\nThere are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double\nunderbars which don\u0027t care about preemption and ones without which\ndisable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters.  It\u0027s unclear\nwhether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on\nentry as some callers don\u0027t do that.\n\nThis patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()\nand disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition\naccess) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access).  diskstats access\nshould always be enclosed between the two functions.  As such, there\u0027s\nno need for the versions which disables preemption.  They\u0027re removed\nand double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars.  As an\nextra argument is added, there\u0027s no danger of using the old version\nunconverted.\n\ndisk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all\ndiskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu\nargument to help RT.\n\nThis change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also\ncollapses several preemption ops into one at others.

The patch is:\n\nhttp://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/31/117\n\nThe problem is some disk formatters do not blow away the first 4 bytes\nof the disk. If the disk we are installing to used to have AIX on it,\nthen the first 4 bytes will still have IBMA in EBCDIC.\n\nThe install in question was debian etch. Im not sure what the best fix\nis, perhaps the AIX detection code could check more than the first 4\nbytes.\n\nThe whole partition info for primary partitions is in this block:\n\n  dd if\u003d/dev/sdb count\u003d$(( 4 * 16 )) bs\u003d1 skip\u003d$(( 0x1be ))\n\nAll other data do not matter, beside the 0x55aa marker at the end of the\nfirst block.\n\nSigned-off-by: Olaf Hering \u003colh@suse.de\u003e\nCc: OGAWA Hirofumi \u003chirofumi@mail.parknet.co.jp\u003e\nCc: Anton Blanchard \u003canton@samba.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n"

Not all embedded devices require\nit, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require\nthe block layer to be present.\n\nThis patch does the following:\n\n (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev\n     support.\n\n (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls\n     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:\n\n     (*) Block I/O tracing.\n\n     (*) Disk partition code.\n\n     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.\n\n     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the\n     \t block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -\n     \t such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.\n\n     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM\n     \t drivers.\n\n     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.\n\n     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by\n     \t taking a leaf out of JFFS2\u0027s book.\n\n (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and\n     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,\n     however, still used in places, and so is still available.\n\n (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and\n     parts of linux/fs.h.\n\n (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.\n\n (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.\n\n (*) set_page_dirty() doesn\u0027t call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK\n     is not enabled.\n\n (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are\n     required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:\n\n     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).\n\n (*) Makes some /proc changes:\n\n     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.\n\n     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.\n\n (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.\n\n (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if\n     given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.\n\n (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if\n     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.\n\n (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return\n     error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).\n\n (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if\n     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can\u0027t then happen.\n\nSigned-Off-By: David Howells \u003cdhowells@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003caxboe@kernel.dk\u003e\n"

      "message": "[BLOCK] increase size of disk stat counters\n\nThe kernel\u0027s representation of the disk statistics uses the type unsigned\nwhich is 32b on both 32b and 64b platforms.  Unfortunately, most system\ntools that work with these numbers that are exported in /proc/diskstats\nincluding iostat read these numbers into unsigned longs.  This works fine\non 32b platforms and when the number of IO transactions are small on 64b\nplatforms.  However, when the numbers wrap on 64b platforms \u0026 you read the\nnumbers into unsigned longs, and compare the numbers to previous readings,\nthen you get an unsigned representation of a negative number.  This looks\nlike a very large 64b number \u0026 gives you bizarre readouts in iostat:\n\nilc4: Device:    rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s    w/s  rsec/s  wsec/s    rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz   await  svctm  %util\nilc4: sda        5.50   0.00   143.96 0.00 307496983987862656.00 0.00 153748491993931328.00     0.00 2136028725038430.00     7.94   55.12    5.59  80.42\n\nThough fixing iostat in user space is possible, and a quick survey\nindicates that several other similar tools also use unsigned longs when\nprocessing /proc/diskstats.  Therefore, it seems like a better approach\nwould be to extend the length of the disk_stats structure on 64b\narchitectures to 64b.  The following patch does that.  It should not affect\nthe operation on 32b platforms.\n\nSigned-off-by: Ben Woodard \u003cwoodard@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Rick Lindsley \u003cricklind@us.ibm.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@osdl.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003caxboe@suse.de\u003e\n"
