      "message": "block: Add flag for telling the IO schedulers NOT to anticipate more IO\n\nBy default, CFQ will anticipate more IO from a given io context if the\npreviously completed IO was sync. This used to be fine, since the only\nsync IO was reads and O_DIRECT writes. But with more \"normal\" sync writes\nbeing used now, we don\u0027t want to anticipate for those.\n\nAdd a bio/request flag that informs the IO scheduler that this is a sync\nrequest that we should not idle for. Introduce WRITE_ODIRECT specifically\nfor O_DIRECT writes, and make sure that the other sync writes set this\nflag.\n\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003cjens.axboe@oracle.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\n"

      "message": "bsg: add support for tail queuing\n\nCurrently inherited from sg.c bsg will submit asynchronous request\n at the head-of-the-queue, (using \"at_head\" set in the call to\n blk_execute_rq_nowait()). This is bad in situation where the queues\n are full, requests will execute out of order, and can cause\n starvation of the first submitted requests.\n\nThe sg_io_v4-\u003eflags member is used and a bit is allocated to denote the\nQ_AT_TAIL. Zero is to queue at_head as before, to be compatible with old\ncode at the write/read path. SG_IO code path behavior was changed so to\nbe the same as write/read behavior. SG_IO was very rarely used and breaking\ncompatibility with it is OK at this stage.\n\nsg_io_hdr at sg.h also has a flags member and uses 3 bits from the first\nnibble and one bit from the last nibble. Even though none of these bits\nare supported by bsg, The second nibble is allocated for use by bsg.

The previous\n time was fixed by\n\n   block: do_mounts - accept root\u003d\u003cnon-existant partition\u003e\n   30f2f0eb4bd2c43d10a8b0d872c6e5ad8f31c9a0\n\n Because the data isn\u0027t available when an md device is first created\n (we add disks and set it up after creation), the initial partition\n scan finds nothing.  It is not until the device is opened that\n another partition scan happens and finds something.\n\n So at the point where the kernel parameter \"root\u003d/dev/md_d0p1\" is\n being parsed, md_d0 exists, but md_d0p1 does not.\n However if we let blk_lookup_devt return the correct device number\n even though the device doesn\u0027t exist, then the attempt to mount it\n will successfully find the partition.\n\n I have tried in the past to find a way to get the partition table to\n be read as soon as the array is assembled but that proved impossible\n (at the time).  I don\u0027t remember the details, and could possibly\n revisit it.  However it would be really nice if blk_lookup_devt\n could be adjusted to again accept non existant partitions.\n\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003cjens.axboe@oracle.com\u003e\n"

This topology includes an \"active\" and \"ghost\"\npath for each lun. IO\u0027s to the \"ghost\" path will never complete and the\nSCSI layer, via the scsi device handler rdac code, quick returns the IOs\nto theses paths and sets the REQ_QUIET scsi flag to suppress the scsi\nlayer messages.\n\n I am wanting to extend the QUIET behavior to include the buffer file\nsystem layer to deal with these errors as well.
