- correction that disk stats values are native-word-sized
  32-bit or 64-bit values, not always 32-bi values
- drop "Last modified" entry; use git for that
- fix a few typos

c4ade94fc0 cfq-iosched: removing unnecessary think time checking
Removing think time checking. A high thinktime queue might means the queue
dispatches several requests and then do away. Limitting such queue seems
meaningless. And also this can simplify code. This is suggested by Vivek.

62a37f6bad cfq-iosched: Don't clear queue stats when preempt.
For v2, I added back lines to cfq_preempt_queue() that were removed
during updates for accounting unaccounted_time. Thanks for pointing out
that I'd missed these, Vivek.

Previous commit "cfq-iosched: Don't set active queue in preempt" wrongly
cleared stats for preempting queues when it shouldn't have, because when
we choose a queue to preempt, it still isn't necessarily scheduled next.

Thanks to Vivek Goyal for figuring this out and understanding how the
preemption code works.

04521db04e blk-throttle: Reset group slice when limits are changed
Lina reported that if throttle limits are initially very high and then
dropped, then no new bio might be dispatched for a long time. And the
reason being that after dropping the limits we don't reset the existing
slice and do the rate calculation with new low rate and account the bios
dispatched at high rate. To fix it, reset the slice upon rate change.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/3/10/298

Another problem with very high limit is that we never queued the
bio on throtl service tree. That means we kept on extending the
group slice but never trimmed it. Fix that also by regulary
trimming the slice even if bio is not being queued up.

eda5e0c91f cfq-iosched: Don't set active queue in preempt
Commit "Add unaccounted time to timeslice_used" changed the behavior of
cfq_preempt_queue to set cfqq active. Vivek pointed out that other
preemption rules might get involved, so we shouldn't manually set which
queue is active.

This cleans up the code to just clear the queue stats at preemption
time.

5e84ea3a9c block: attempt to merge with existing requests on plug flush
One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially
lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to
everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do
any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized.

Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE.
It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can
merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail
merging).

This fixes a regression with multiple processes issuing IO that
can be merged.

Thanks to Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> for testing and fixing
an accounting bug.

8184f93ece cfq-iosched: Don't update group weights when on service tree
Version 3 is updated to apply to for-2.6.39/core.

For version 2, I took Vivek's advice and made sure we update the group
weight from cfq_group_service_tree_add().

If a weight was updated while a group is on the service tree, the
calculation for the total weight of the service tree can be adjusted
improperly, which either leads to bad service tree weights, or
potentially crashes (if total_weight becomes 0).

This patch defers updates to the weight until a group is off the service
tree.

a91a2785b2 block: Require subsystems to explicitly allocate bio_set integrity mempool
MD and DM create a new bio_set for every metadevice. Each bio_set has an
integrity mempool attached regardless of whether the metadevice is
capable of passing integrity metadata. This is a waste of memory.

Instead we defer the allocation decision to MD and DM since we know at
metadevice creation time whether integrity passthrough is needed or not.

Automatic integrity mempool allocation can then be removed from
bioset_create() and we make an explicit integrity allocation for the
fs_bio_set.

805f6b5e1c blktrace: Use rq->cmd_flags directly in blk_add_trace_rq.
In blk_add_trace_rq, we only chose the minor 2 bits from
request's cmd_flags and did some check for discard.
so most of other flags(e.g, REQ_SYNC) are missing.

For example, with a sync write after blkparse we get:
  8,16   1        1     0.001776503  7509  A  WS 1349632 + 1024 <- (8,17) 1347584
  8,16   1        2     0.001776813  7509  Q  WS 1349632 + 1024 [dd]
  8,16   1        3     0.001780395  7509  G  WS 1349632 + 1024 [dd]
  8,16   1        5     0.001783186  7509  I   W 1349632 + 1024 [dd]

  8,16   0        2     0.006218192     0  C   W 1349632 + 1024 [0]

Since now we have integrated the flags of both bio and request,
it is safe to pass rq->cmd_flags directly to __blk_add_trace.

With this patch, after a sync write we get:
  8,16   1        1     0.001776900  5425  A  WS 1189888 + 1024 <- (8,17) 1187840

73c1010119 block: initial patch for on-stack per-task plugging
This patch adds support for creating a queuing context outside
of the queue itself. This enables us to batch up pieces of IO
before grabbing the block device queue lock and submitting them to
the IO scheduler.

The context is created on the stack of the process and assigned in
the task structure, so that we can auto-unplug it if we hit a schedule
event.

The current queue plugging happens implicitly if IO is submitted to
an empty device, yet callers have to remember to unplug that IO when
they are going to wait for it. This is an ugly API and has caused bugs
in the past. Additionally, it requires hacks in the vm (->sync_page()
callback) to handle that logic. By switching to an explicit plugging
scheme we make the API a lot nicer and can get rid of the ->sync_page()
hack in the vm.

Convert ->media_changed() to the new ->check_events() method.  The
conversion is mostly mechanical.  The only notable change is that
cdrom now doesn't generate any event if @slot_nr isn't CDSL_CURRENT.
It used to return -EINVAL which would be treated as media changed.  As
media changer isn't supported anyway, this doesn't make any
difference.

This makes ide emit the standard disk events and allows kernel event
polling.  Currently, only MEDIA_CHANGE event is implemented.  Adding
support for EJECT_REQUEST shouldn't be difficult; however, given that
ide driver is already deprecated, it probably is best to leave it
alone.

69e02c59a7 block: Don't check events while open is in progress
Not all block drivers clear events immediately after reporting.  Some
do so in ->revalidate_disk() or other steps during ->open().  There is
a slim chance event poll may happen between the clearing event check
from check_disk_change() and the actual clearing of the events which
would result in spurious events.

Block event checks while block device open is in progress.  There is
no need to kick explicit event check afterwards as events are always
checked during open.

-v2: The original patch could have called disk_unblock_events() with
     an already released or %NULL @disk causing oops.  Fixed by making
     sure references are put after disk_unblock_events() is called.
     It also makes the error path of __blkdev_get() a bit simpler.
     This problem was reported by Jens.

6936217cc7 block: Don't check events on close unless it was blocked
The block event mechanism currently always checks events when the
device is being closed regardless of the open mode.  The intention was
to allow detection of EJECT_REQUEST when a device is closed whether
disk event polling is enabled or not.

This is unnecessary as, for devices of interest, events are checked
from either userland or kernel and in the former case ->check_events()
is performed on open of each poll attempt anyway.  Furthermore, this
unconditional event check on close makes the code susceptible to event
loop if the block driver doesn't clear reported events correctly - an
event triggers userland to open and close the device which in turn
causes another event, rinse and repeat.

Check events on close only if it was blocked by excl write open.

facc31ddc3 block: Don't implicitly trigger event check on disk_unblock_events()
Currently, disk_unblock_events() implicitly kick event check if the
block count reaches zero.  This behavior is not described in the
comment and hinders with future changes.  Make the unblocker
explicitly check events by calling disk_check_events() as necessary.

This patch doesn't cause any behavior difference.

df457f845e blk-cgroup: Lower minimum weight from 100 to 10.
We've found that we still get good, useful isolation at weights this
low. I'd like to adjust the minimum so that any other changes can take
these values into account.
