writeback: cleanup bdi_register
This patch makes sure we first initialize everything and set the BDI_registered

bdi to the list too early, and as a result I the
WARN(!test_bit(BDI_registered, &bdi->state)

visible only when they are fully initialized.
Also, this patch does few micro clean-ups:
1. Removes the 'exit' label which does not do anything, just returns. This
allows to get rid of few braces and 'ret' variable and make the code smaller.
2. If 'kthread_run()' fails, remove the error code it returns, not hard-coded
'-ENOMEM'. Theoretically, some day 'kthread_run()' can return something
else. Also, in case of failure it is not necessary to set 'bdi->wb.task' to

writeback: optimize periodic bdi thread wakeups
Whe the first inode for a bdi is marked dirty, we wake up the bdi thread which
should take care of the periodic background write-out. However, the write-out
will actually start only 'dirty_writeback_interval' centisecs later, so we can
delay the wake-up.
This change was requested by Nick Piggin who pointed out that if we delay the
wake-up, we weed out 2 unnecessary contex switches, which matters because
'__mark_inode_dirty()' is a hot-path function.
This patch introduces a new function - 'bdi_wakeup_thread_delayed()', which
sets up a timer to wake-up the bdi thread and returns. So the wake-up is
delayed.
We also delete the timer in bdi threads just before writing-back. And
synchronously delete it when unregistering bdi. At the unregister point the bdi
does not have any users, so no one can arm it again.
Since now we take 'bdi->wb_lock' in the timer, which can execute in softirq
context, we have to use 'spin_lock_bh()' for 'bdi->wb_lock'. This patch makes
this change as well.

writeback: prevent unnecessary bdi threads wakeups
Finally, we can get rid of unnecessary wake-ups in bdi threads, which are very
bad for battery-driven devices.
There are two types of activities bdi threads do:
1. process bdi works from the 'bdi->work_list'
2. periodic write-back
So there are 2 sources of wake-up events for bdi threads:
1. 'bdi_queue_work()' - submits bdi works
2. '__mark_inode_dirty()' - adds dirty I/O to bdi's
The former already has bdi wake-up code. The latter does not, and this patch
adds it.
'__mark_inode_dirty()' is hot-path function, but this patch adds another
'spin_lock(&bdi->wb_lock)' there. However, it is taken only in rare cases when
the bdi has no dirty inodes. So adding this spinlock should be fine and should
not affect performance.
This patch makes sure bdi threads and the forker thread do not wake-up if there
is nothing to do. The forker thread will nevertheless wake up at least every
5 min. to check whether it has to kill a bdi thread. This can also be optimized,
but is not worth it.
This patch also tidies up the warning about unregistered bid, and turns it from
an ugly crocodile to a simple 'WARN()' statement.

writeback: move bdi threads exiting logic to the forker thread
Currently, bdi threads can decide to exit if there were no useful activities
for 5 minutes. However, this causes nasty races: we can easily oops in the
'bdi_queue_work()' if the bdi thread decides to exit while we are waking it up.
And even if we do not oops, but the bdi tread exits immediately after we wake
it up, we'd lose the wake-up event and have an unnecessary delay (up to 5 secs)
in the bdi work processing.
This patch makes the forker thread to be the central place which not only
creates bdi threads, but also kills them if they were inactive long enough.
This better design-wise.
Another reason why this change was done is to prepare for the further changes
which will prevent the bdi threads from waking up every 5 sec and wasting
power. Indeed, when the task does not wake up periodically anymore, it won't be
able to exit either.
This patch also moves the the 'wake_up_bit()' call from the bdi thread to the
forker thread as well. So now the forker thread sets the BDI_pending bit, then
forks the task or kills it, then clears the bit and wakes up the waiting
process.
The only process which may wain on the bit is 'bdi_wb_shutdown()'. This
function was changed as well - now it first removes the bdi from the
'bdi_list', then waits on the 'BDI_pending' bit. Once it wakes up, it is
guaranteed that the forker thread won't race with it, because the bdi is not
visible. Note, the forker thread sets the 'BDI_pending' bit under the
'bdi->wb_lock' which is essential for proper serialization.
And additionally, when we change 'bdi->wb.task', we now take the
'bdi->work_lock', to make sure that we do not lose wake-ups which we otherwise
would when raced with, say, 'bdi_queue_work()'.

writeback: do not remove bdi from bdi_list
The forker thread removes bdis from 'bdi_list' before forking the bdi thread.
But this is wrong for at least 2 reasons.
Reason #1: if we temporary remove a bdi from the list, we may miss works which
would otherwise be given to us.
Reason #2: this is racy; indeed, 'bdi_wb_shutdown()' expects that bdis are
always in the 'bdi_list' (see 'bdi_remove_from_list()'), and when
it races with the forker thread, it can shut down the bdi thread
at the same time as the forker creates it.
This patch makes sure the forker thread never removes bdis from 'bdi_list'
(which was suggested by Christoph Hellwig).
In order to make sure that we do not race with 'bdi_wb_shutdown()', we have to
hold the 'bdi_lock' while walking the 'bdi_list' and setting the 'BDI_pending'
flag.
NOTE! The error path is interesting. Currently, when we fail to create a bdi
thread, we move the bdi to the tail of 'bdi_list'. But if we never remove the
bdi from the list, we cannot move it to the tail either, because then we can
mess up the RCU readers which walk the list. And also, we'll have the race
described above in "Reason #2".
But I not think that adding to the tail is any important so I just do not do

writeback: simplify bdi code a little
This patch simplifies bdi code a little by removing the 'pending_list' which is
redundant. Indeed, currently the forker thread ('bdi_forker_thread()') is
working like this:
1. In a loop, fetch all bdi's which have works but have no writeback thread and
move them to the 'pending_list'.
2. If the list is empty, sleep for 5 sec.
3. Otherwise, take one bdi from the list, fork the writeback thread for this
bdi, and repeat the loop.
IOW, it first moves everything to the 'pending_list', then process only one
element, and so on. This patch simplifies the algorithm, which is now as
follows.
1. Find the first bdi which has a work and remove it from the global list of
bdi's (bdi_list).
2. If there was not such bdi, sleep 5 sec.
3. Fork the writeback thread for this bdi and repeat the loop.
IOW, now we find the first bdi to process, process it, and so on. This is
simpler and involves less lists.
The bonus now is that we can get rid of a couple of functions, as well as
remove complications which involve 'rcu_call()' and 'bdi->rcu_head'.

scsi: convert discard to REQ_TYPE_FS from REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC
Jens, any reason why this isn't included in your for-2.6.36 yet?

From: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp>
Subject: [PATCH resend] scsi: convert discard to REQ_TYPE_FS from REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC
The block layer (file systems) sends discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS
(the role of REQ_TYPE_FS is that setting up commands and interpreting
the results). But SCSI-ml treats discard requests as
REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC.
scsi-ml can handle discard requests as REQ_TYPE_FS
easily. scsi_setup_discard_cmnd() sets up struct request and the bio
nicely. Only remaining issue is that discard requests can't be
completed partially so we need to modify sd_done.
This conversion also fixes the problem that discard requests aren't
retried when possible (e.g. UNIT ATTENTION).

cciss: Fix hard reset code.
Smart Array controllers newer than the P600 do not honor the
PCI power state method of resetting the controllers. Instead,
in these cases we can get them to reset via the "doorbell" register.
This escaped notice until we began using "performant" mode because
the fact that the controllers did not reset did not normally
impede subsequent operation, and so things generally appeared to
"work". Once the performant mode code was added, if the controller
does not reset, it remains in performant mode. The code immediately
after the reset presumes the controller is in "simple" mode
(which previously, it had remained in simple mode the whole time).
If the controller remains in performant mode any code which presumes
it is in simple mode will not work. So the reset needs to be fixed.
Unfortunately there are some controllers which cannot be reset by
either method. (eg. p800). We detect these cases by noticing that
the controller seems to remain in performant mode even after a
reset has been attempted. In those cases we ignore the controller,
as any commands outstanding on it will result in stale completions.
To sum up, we try to do a better job of resetting the controller if
"reset_devices" is set, and if it doesn't work, we ignore that
controller.

Still, unsolicited writes to the state field remain an issue,

races cause accidental recreation of the device node.
Fixed by reintroducing the transaction. An internal one is sufficient,

block: fix problem with sending down discard that isn't of correct granularity
If the queue doesn't have a limit set, or it just set UINT_MAX like
we default to, we coud be sending down a discard request that isn't
of the correct granularity if the block size is > 512b.
Fix this by adjusting max_discard_sectors down to the proper
alignment.

blkdev: check for valid request queue before issuing flush
Issuing a blkdev_issue_flush() on an unconfigured loop device causes a panic as
q->make_request_fn is not configured. This can occur when trying to mount the
unconfigured loop device as an XFS filesystem. There are no guards that catch
the bio before the request function is called because we don't add a payload to
the bio. Instead, manually check this case as soon as we have a pointer to the
queue to flush.

scsi/i2o: restore ioctl changes
This restores the changes from "scsi/i2o_block: cleanup ioctl
handling", which accidentally got reverted.
Origignal changelog:
This fixes the ioctl function of the i2o_block driver, which
has multiple problems:
* The BLKI2OSRSTRAT and BLKI2OSWSTRAT commands always return
-ENOTTY on success, where they should return 0.
* Support for 32 bit compat is missing
* The driver should use the .ioctl function and because
.locked_ioctl is going away.
The use of the big kernel lock remains for now, but gets
made explictit in the ioctl function.

scsi/sd: remove big kernel lock
Every user of the BKL in the sd driver is the
result of the pushdown from the block layer
into the open/close/ioctl functions.
The only place that used to rely on the BKL is
the sdkp->openers variable, which gets converted
into an atomic_t.
Nothing else seems to rely on the BKL, since the
functions do not touch global data without holding
another lock, and the open/close functions are
still protected from concurrent execution using
the bdev->bd_mutex.

block: remove BKL from BLKROSET and BLKFLSBUF
We only call the functions set_device_ro(),
invalidate_bdev(), sync_filesystem() and sync_blockdev()
while holding the BKL in these commands. All
of these are also done in other code paths without
the BKL, which leads me to the conclusion that
the BKL is not needed here either.
The reason we hold it here is that it was originally
pushed down into the ioctl function from vfs_ioctl.

The blktrace driver currently needs the BKL, but
we should not need to take that in the block layer,

required in blktrace code and could be removed
in a follow-on patch.

block: push down BKL into .open and .release
The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.
This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.
The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

scsi: fix discard page leak
We leak a page allocated for discard on some error conditions
(e.g. scsi_prep_state_check returns BLKPREP_DEFER in
scsi_setup_blk_pc_cmnd).
We unprep on requests that weren't prepped in the error path of
scsi_init_io. It makes the error path to clean up scsi commands messy.
Let's strictly apply the rule that we can't unprep on a request that
wasn't prepped.
Calling just scsi_put_command() in the error path of scsi_init_io() is
enough. We don't set REQ_DONTPREP yet.
scsi_setup_discard_cmnd can safely free a page on the error case with
the above rule.

writeback: Initial tracing support
Trace queue/sched/exec parts of the writeback loop. This provides
insight into when and why flusher threads are scheduled to run. e.g
a sync invocation leaves traces like:
sync-[...]: writeback_queue: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0
flush-8:0-[...]: writeback_exec: bdi 8:0: sb_dev 8:1 nr_pages=7712 sync_mode=0 kupdate=0 range_cyclic=0 background=0
This also lays the foundation for adding more writeback tracing to
provide deeper insight into the whole writeback path.
The original tracing code is from Jens Axboe, though this version is
a rewrite as a result of the code being traced changing
significantly.
