The latter is more flexible as it allows the driver to process\nmultiple commands concurrently.\n\nThese two inconsistent usage models affect the block layer\nimplementation confusing. For some, elv_next_request() is considered\nthe issue point while others consider blkdev_dequeue_request() the\nissue point.\n\nTill now the inconsistency mostly affect only accounting, so it didn\u0027t\nreally break anything seriously; however, with block layer timeout,\nthis inconsistency hits hard. Block layer considers\nelv_next_request() the issue point and adds timer but SCSI layer\nthinks it was just peeking and when the request can\u0027t process the\ncommand right away, it\u0027s just left there without further processing.\nThis makes the request dangling on the timer list and, when the timer\ngoes off, the request which the SCSI layer and below think is still on\nthe block queue ends up in the EH queue, causing various problems - EH\nhang (failed count goes over busy count and EH never wakes up),\nWARN_ON() and oopses as low level driver trying to handle the unknown\ncommand, etc. depending on the timing.\n\nAs SCSI midlayer is the only user of block layer timer at the moment,\nmoving blk_add_timer() to elv_dequeue_request() fixes the problem;\nhowever, this two usage models definitely need to be cleaned up in the\nfuture.\n\nSigned-off-by: Tejun Heo \u003ctj@kernel.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003cjens.axboe@oracle.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "43381785a5ba1cb424b36812373a6a04054b5c3c", "tree": "46917d4723f5cf167913597346c0377ab8da59a6", "parents": [ "75fa67706cce5272bcfc51ed646f2da21f3bdb6e" ], "author": { "name": "FUJITA Tomonori", "email": "fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp", "time": "Mon Oct 20 15:43:43 2008 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Jens Axboe", "email": "jens.axboe@oracle.com", "time": "Thu Nov 06 08:41:55 2008 +0100" }, "message": "block: remove unused ll_new_mergeable()\n\nSigned-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori \u003cfujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Jens Axboe \u003cjens.axboe@oracle.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "88ed86fee6651033de9b7038dac7869a9f19775a", "tree": "38b638d2e7cba110ec271275738f221feb7e0a37", "parents": [ "3856d30ded1fe43c6657927ebad402d25cd128f4", "59c7572e82d69483a66eaa67b46548baeb69ecf4" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Thu Oct 23 12:04:37 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Thu Oct 23 12:04:37 2008 -0700" }, "message": "Merge branch \u0027proc\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/adobriyan/proc\n\n* \u0027proc\u0027 of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/adobriyan/proc: (35 commits)\n proc: remove fs/proc/proc_misc.c\n proc: move /proc/vmcore creation to fs/proc/vmcore.c\n proc: move pagecount stuff to fs/proc/page.c\n proc: move all /proc/kcore stuff to fs/proc/kcore.c\n proc: move /proc/schedstat boilerplate to kernel/sched_stats.h\n proc: move /proc/modules boilerplate to kernel/module.c\n proc: move /proc/diskstats boilerplate to block/genhd.c\n proc: move /proc/zoneinfo boilerplate to mm/vmstat.c\n proc: move /proc/vmstat boilerplate to mm/vmstat.c\n proc: move /proc/pagetypeinfo boilerplate to mm/vmstat.c\n proc: move /proc/buddyinfo boilerplate to mm/vmstat.c\n proc: move /proc/vmallocinfo to mm/vmalloc.c\n proc: move /proc/slabinfo boilerplate to mm/slub.c, mm/slab.c\n proc: move /proc/slab_allocators boilerplate to mm/slab.c\n proc: move /proc/interrupts boilerplate code to fs/proc/interrupts.c\n proc: move /proc/stat to fs/proc/stat.c\n proc: move rest of /proc/partitions code to block/genhd.c\n proc: move /proc/cpuinfo code to fs/proc/cpuinfo.c\n proc: move /proc/devices code to fs/proc/devices.c\n proc: move rest of /proc/locks to fs/locks.c\n ...\n" }, { "commit": "5f4f0c4d3fc95cb7d509e4469a22aed40532f0fc", "tree": "f780c6faa1ea3995c1b2a626fae595b078ffde2e", "parents": [ "54d822a6169b76b807b8cdbbf76ff2812a88947f" ], "author": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Thu Oct 23 10:28:25 2008 -0700" }, "committer": { "name": "Linus Torvalds", "email": "torvalds@linux-foundation.org", "time": "Thu Oct 23 10:28:25 2008 -0700" }, "message": "compat_blkdev_driver_ioctl: Remove unused variable warning\n\nVariable \u0027ret\u0027 is no longer used.
