2008-04-15io context: increment task attachment count in ioc_task_link()Jens Axboe1-1/+3
Thanks to Nikanth Karthikesan <[email protected]> for reporting this. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
2008-04-02cfq-iosched: fix rcu freeing of cfq io contextsFabio Checconi1-0/+3
SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU is not a direct substitute for normal call_rcu() freeing, since it'll page freeing but NOT object freeing. So change cfq to do the freeing on its own.

2008-02-19cfq-iosched: add hlist for browsing parallel to the radix treeJens Axboe1-0/+2
It's cumbersome to browse a radix tree from start to finish, especially since we modify keys when a process exits. So add a hlist for the single purpose of browsing over all known cfq_io_contexts, used for exit, io prio change, etc. This fixes http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9948 Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
2008-01-28block: cfq: make the io contect sharing locklessJens Axboe1-2/+4
The io context sharing introduced a per-ioc spinlock, that would protect the cfq io context lookup. That is a regression from the original, since we never needed any locking there because the ioc/cic were process private. The cic lookup is changed from an rbtree construct to a radix tree, which we can then use RCU to make the reader side lockless. That is the performance critical path, modifying the radix tree is only done on process creation (when that process first does IO, actually) and on process exit (if that process has done IO). As it so happens, radix trees are also much faster for this type of lookup where the key is a pointer. It's a very sparse tree. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
2008-01-28io context sharing: preliminary supportJens Axboe1-4/+18
Detach task state from ioc, instead keep track of how many processes are accessing the ioc. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
2008-01-28ioprio: move io priority from task_struct to io_contextJens Axboe1-0/+79
This is where it belongs and then it doesn't take up space for a process that doesn't do IO. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
