For example what is the sysfs path for\n/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK?  With this change a call to\nstat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that\n/sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc.\n\nWhat are the alternatives?:\n1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce\n   the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this\n   seems counter productive.\n\n2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a\n   udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited\n   environment like an initramfs.\n\n3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.\n\n[kay.sievers@vrfy.org: fix duplicate registrations]\n[kay.sievers@vrfy.org: cleanup suggestions]\n\nCc: Neil Brown \u003cneilb@suse.de\u003e\nCc: Tejun Heo \u003chtejun@gmail.com\u003e\nAcked-by: Kay Sievers \u003ckay.sievers@vrfy.org\u003e\nReviewed-by: SL Baur \u003csteve@xemacs.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Kay Sievers \u003ckay.sievers@vrfy.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Mark Lord \u003clkml@rtr.ca\u003e\nAcked-by: H.

      "message": "block: Fix the starving writes bug in the anticipatory IO scheduler\n\nAS scheduler alternates between issuing read and write batches. It does\nthe batch switch only after all requests from the previous batch are\ncompleted.\n\nWhen switching to a write batch, if there is an on-going read request,\nit waits for its completion and indicates its intention of switching by\nsetting ad-\u003echanged_batch and the new direction but does not update the\nbatch_expire_time for the new write batch which it does in the case of\nno previous pending requests.\nOn completion of the read request, it sees that we were waiting for the\nswitch and schedules work for kblockd right away and resets the\nad-\u003echanged_data flag.\nNow when kblockd enters dispatch_request where it is expected to pick\nup a write request, it in turn ends the write batch because the\nbatch_expire_timer was not updated and shows the expire timestamp for\nthe previous batch.\n\nThis results in the write starvation for all the cases where there is\nthe intention for switching to a write batch, but there is a previous\nin-flight read request and the batch gets reverted to a read_batch\nright away.\n\nThis also holds true in the reverse case (switching from a write batch\nto a read batch with an in-flight write request).\n\nI\u0027ve checked that this bug exists on 2.6.11, 2.6.18, 2.6.24 and\nlinux-2.6-block git HEAD. I\u0027ve tested the fix on x86 platforms with\nSCSI drives where the driver asks for the next request while a current\nrequest is in-flight.\n\nThis patch is based off linux-2.6-block git HEAD.\n\nBug reproduction:\nA simple scenario which reproduces this bug is:\n- dd if\u003d/dev/hda3 of\u003d/dev/null \u0026\n- lilo\n   The lilo takes forever to complete.\n\nThis can also be reproduced fairly easily with the earlier dd and\nanother test\nprogram doing msync().\n\nThe example test program below should print out a message after every\niteration\nbut it simply hangs forever. With this bugfix it makes forward progress.\n\n\u003d\u003d\u003d\u003d\nExample test program using msync() (thanks to suleiman AT google DOT\ncom)\n\ninline uint64_t\nrdtsc(void)\n{\n         int64_t tsc;\n\n         __asm __volatile(\"rdtsc\" : \"\u003dA\" (tsc));\n         return (tsc);\n}\n\nint\nmain(int argc, char **argv)\n{\n         struct stat st;\n         uint64_t e, s, t;\n         char *p, q;\n         long i;\n         int fd;\n\n         if (argc \u003c 2) {\n                 printf(\"Usage: %s \u003cfile\u003e\\n\", argv[0]);\n                 return (1);\n         }\n\n         if ((fd \u003d open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_NOATIME)) \u003c 0)\n                 err(1, \"open\");\n\n         if (fstat(fd, \u0026st) \u003c 0)\n                 err(1, \"fstat\");\n\n         p \u003d mmap(NULL, st.st_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,\nMAP_SHARED, fd, 0);\n\n         t \u003d 0;\n         for (i \u003d 0; i \u003c 1000; i++) {\n                 *p \u003d 0;\n                 msync(p, 4096, MS_SYNC);\n                 s \u003d rdtsc();\n                *p \u003d 0;\n                 __asm __volatile(\"\"::: \"memory\");\n                 e \u003d rdtsc();\n                 if (argc \u003e 2)\n                         printf(\"%d: %lld cycles %jd %jd\\n\",\n                                i, e - s, (intmax_t)s, (intmax_t)e);\n                 t +\u003d e - s;\n         }\n         printf(\"average time: %lld cycles\\n\", t / 1000);\n         return (0);\n}\n\nCc: \u003cstable@kernel.org\u003e\nAcked-by: Nick Piggin \u003cnpiggin@suse.de\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003cjens.axboe@oracle.com\u003e\n"

      "message": "block: optimize generic_unplug_device()\n\nOriginal patch from Mikulas Patocka \u003cmpatocka@redhat.com\u003e\n\nMike Anderson was doing an OLTP benchmark on a computer with 48 physical\ndisks mapped to one logical device via device mapper.\n\nHe found that there was a slowdown on request_queue-\u003elock in function\ngeneric_unplug_device. The slowdown is caused by the fact that when some\ncode calls unplug on the device mapper, device mapper calls unplug on all\nphysical disks. These unplug calls take the lock, find that the queue is\nalready unplugged, release the lock and exit.\n\nWith the below patch, performance of the benchmark was increased by 18%\n(the whole OLTP application, not just block layer microbenchmarks).\n\nSo I\u0027m submitting this patch for upstream. I think the patch is correct,\nbecause when more threads call simultaneously plug and unplug, it is\nunspecified, if the queue is or isn\u0027t plugged (so the patch can\u0027t make\nthis worse). And the caller that plugged the queue should unplug it\nanyway. (if it doesn\u0027t, there\u0027s 3ms timeout).\n\nSigned-off-by: Mikulas Patocka \u003cmpatocka@redhat.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003cjens.axboe@oracle.com\u003e\n"

This feature is useful for stuff like sas_host that can\u0027t\nuse the release callback in struct device.\n\nIf a caller doesn\u0027t need bsg\u0027s release callback, it can call\nbsg_register_queue() with NULL pointer (e.g. scsi devices can use\nrelease callback in struct device so they don\u0027t need bsg\u0027s callback).\n\nWith this patch, bsg uses kref for refcounts on bsg devices instead of\nget/put_device in fops-\u003eopen/release. bsg calls put_device and the\ncaller\u0027s release callback (if it was registered) in kref_put\u0027s\nrelease.\n\nSigned-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori \u003cfujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp\u003e\nSigned-off-by: James Bottomley \u003cJames.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com\u003e\n"

It\nbroke the scsi command completion code.\n\ncommit e97a294ef6938512b655b1abf17656cf2b26f709 was introduced to fix\nthe above issue. However, the partial completion code doesn\u0027t work\nwith it. The commit is also a layer violation (scsi mid-layer should\nnot know about the block layer\u0027s padding).\n\nThis patch moves the padding adjustment to blk_rq_map_sg (suggested by\nJames). The padding works like the drain buffer. This patch breaks the\nrule that req-\u003edata_len is equal to sum(sg), however, the drain buffer\nalready broke it. So this patch just restores the rule that\nreq-\u003edata_len is equal to sub(bio) without breaking anything new.\n\nNow when a low level driver needs padding, blk_rq_map_user and\nblk_rq_map_user_iov guarantee there\u0027s enough room for padding.\nblk_rq_map_sg can safely extend the last entry of a scatter list.\n\nblk_rq_map_sg must extend the last entry of a scatter list only for a\nrequest that got through bio_copy_user_iov.

      "message": "[SCSI] bsg: takes a ref to struct device in fops-\u003eopen\n\nbsg_register_queue() takes a ref to struct device that a caller\npasses. For example, bsg takes a ref to the sdev_gendev for scsi\ndevices. However, bsg doesn\u0027t inrease the refcount in fops-\u003eopen. So\nwhile an application opens a bsg device, the scsi device that the bsg\ndevice holds can go away (bsg also takes a ref to a queue, but it\ndoesn\u0027t prevent the device from going away).\n\nWith this patch, bsg increases the refcount of struct device in\nfops-\u003eopen and decreases it in fops-\u003erelease.\n\nSigned-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori \u003cfujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp\u003e\nSigned-off-by: James Bottomley \u003cJames.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com\u003e\n"
