In raid5 plugging is used for 2 things: 1/ collecting writes that require a bitmap update 2/ collecting writes in the hope that we can create full stripes - or at least more-full. We now release these different sets of stripes when plug_cnt is zero. Also in make_request, we call mddev_check_plug to hopefully increase plug_cnt, and wake up the thread at the end if plugging wasn't achieved for some reason. Signed-off-by:

When an md device adds a request to a queue, it can call mddev_check_plugged. If this succeeds then we know that the md thread will be woken up shortly, and ->plug_cnt will be non-zero until then, so some processing can be delayed. If it fails, then no unplug callback is expected and the make_request function needs to do whatever is required to make the request happen. Signed-off-by:

md has some plugging infrastructure for RAID5 to use because the normal plugging infrastructure required a 'request_queue', and when called from dm, RAID5 doesn't have one of those available. This relied on the ->unplug_fn callback which doesn't exist any more. So remove all of that code, both in md and raid5. Subsequent patches with restore the plugging functionality. Signed-off-by:

If we know we are going to punt to kblockd, we can drop the queue lock before calling into __blk_run_queue() since it only does a safe bit test and a workqueue call. Since kblockd needs to grab this very lock as one of the first things it does, it's a good optimization to drop the lock before waking kblockd. Signed-off-by:

MD can't use this since it really requires us to be able to keep more than a single piece of state for the unplug. Commit 048c9374 added the required support for MD, so get rid of this now unused code. This reverts commit f7566457 . Conflicts: block/blk-core.c Signed-off-by:

Apparently some distros set i2c-algo-bit.bit_test to 1 by default. In some cases this causes i2c_bit_add_bus to fail and prevents the i2c bus from being added. In the radeon case, we fail to add the ddc i2c buses which prevents the driver from being able to detect attached monitors. The i2c bus works fine even if bit_test fails. This is likely due to gpio switching that is required and handled in the pre/post_xfer hooks, so call the pre/post_xfer hooks in the bit test as well.

It's a pretty close match to what we had before - the timer triggering would mean that nobody unplugged the plug in due time, in the new scheme this matches very closely what the schedule() unplug now is. It's essentially the difference between an explicit unplug (IO unplug) or an implicit unplug (timer unplug, we scheduled with pending IO queued). Signed-off-by:

Linus correctly observes that the most important dispatch cases are now done from kblockd, this isn't ideal for latency reasons. The original reason for switching dispatches out-of-line was to avoid too deep a stack, so by _only_ letting the "accidental" flush directly in schedule() be guarded by offload to kblockd, we should be able to get the best of both worlds. So add a blk_schedule_flush_plug() that offloads to kblockd, and only use that from the schedule() path. Signed-off-by:

During RCU walk in path_lookupat and path_openat, the rcu lookup frequently failed if looking up an absolute path, because when root directory was looked up, seq number was not properly set in nameidata. We dropped out of RCU walk in nameidata_drop_rcu due to mismatch in directory entry's seq number. We reverted to slow path walk that need to take references. With the following patch, I saw a 50% increase in an exim mail server benchmark throughput on a 4-socket Nehalem-EX system. Signed-off-by:

Round robin assignment doesn't work because init_numa_sched_groups_power() assumes all logical cpus in the same physical cpu share the same node (then it only accounts for group_first_cpu()), and the simple round robin breaks the above assumption. Thus, this patch implements a reassignment of node-ids if buggy firmware or numa emulation makes wrong cpu node map. Tt enforce all logical cpus in the same physical cpu share the same node.

The case we should be verifying when updating the dentry name is that the _parent_ inode (the directory) semaphore is held, not the semaphore for the dentry itself. It's the directory locking that rename and readdir() etc all care about. The comment just above even says so - but then the BUG_ON() still checked the dentry inode itself. Very few people noticed, because this helper function really isn't used for very much, so you had to be using ncpfs to ever hit it. I think I should just remove the BUG_ON (the function really has just one user), but let's run with it fixed for a while before getting rid of it entirely. Reported-and-tested-by:
