Hi,
So 2.6.30 is released and I have a pile of stuff pending for 2.6.31 in
the block git tree.
- The major bit is the request peek/retrieval interface got a long
overdue overhaul. This will require changes to block drivers, but they
are fairly trivial and should result in simpler code. Drivers used to
call elv_next_request() to get the next request for service, and then
blkdev_dequeue_request() to remove the request from the internal
queues. Some drivers deferred the removal to end IO time, while others
dequeued immediately after elv_next_request(). This has now been
replaced with blk_fetch_request(), which retrieves and removes the
next request for service. There's also a peek operation,
blk_peek_request(), which can then be paired with blk_start_request()
for a functional equivalent to blk_fetch_request(). Requests must now
be dequeued for end IO processing. Thanks to Tejun Heo for all his
great work here.
- Cleanup of the bi-directional command io completion from FUJITA
Tomonori.
- Support for passing in a list of linked bio's for IO submission from
Boaz Harrosh. This gets rid of blk_rq_append_bio outside of the block
core and provides functionality to OSD.
- Tweak to the block layer tagging that only allows async requests to
consume part of the tag space. This should help with devices that have
tag starvation issues.
- Some splice updates from Miklos. We now support pipe to pipe splicing
and have fallback support for copy splice on read and write.
- Export of IO topology through sysfs from Martin Petersen.
- A bunch of fixes and cleanups to the cciss driver.
- Various other little driver changes and bug fixes.
Find the list of changes below, with an git url to pull from. This code
has been in -next for the past month or so.
