[S390] dasd: fix double elevator_exit call when deadline iosched fails to load

2008-04-17T05:46:55Z

I compiled the kernel without deadline, and the dasd code exits the old scheduler (CFQ), fails to load the new one (deadline), and then things just hang - with one of these (sorry about the weird chars - I copy & pasted it from a 3270 console): dasd(eckd): 0.0.0151: 3390/0A(CU:3990/01) Cyl:3338 Head:15 Sec:224 ------------ cut here ------------ Badness at kernel/mutex.c:134 Modules linked in: dasd_eckd_mod dasd_mod CPU: 0 Not tainted 2.6.25-rc3 #9 Process exe (pid: 538, task: 000000000d172000, ksp: 000000000d21ef88) Krnl PSW : 0404000180000000 000000000022fb5c (mutex_lock_nested+0x2a4/0x2cc) R:0 T:1 IO:0 EX:0 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:0 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000000024218 000000000076fc78 0000000000000000 000000000000000f 000000000022f92e 0000000000449898 000000000f921c00 000003e000162590 00000000001539c4 000000000d172000 070000007fffffff 000000000d21f400 000000000f8f2560 00000000002413f8 000000000022fb44 000000000d21f400 Krnl Code: 000000000022fb50: bf2f1000 icm %r2,15,0(%r1) 000000000022fb54: a774fef6 brc 7,22f940 000000000022fb58: a7f40001 brc 15,22fb5a >000000000022fb5c: a7f4fef2 brc 15,22f940 000000000022fb60: c0e5fffa112a brasl %r14,171db4 000000000022fb66: 1222 ltr %r2,%r2 000000000022fb68: a784fedb brc 8,22f91e 000000000022fb6c: c010002a0086 larl %r1,76fc78 Call Trace: (<000000000022f92e> mutex_lock_nested+0x76/0x2cc) <00000000001539c4> elevator_exit+0x38/0x80 <0000000000156ffe> blk_cleanup_queue+0x62/0x7c <000003e0001d5414> dasd_change_state+0xe0/0x8ec <000003e0001d5cae> dasd_set_target_state+0x8e/0x9c <000003e0001d5f74> dasd_generic_set_online+0x160/0x284 <000003e00011e83a> dasd_eckd_set_online+0x2e/0x40 <0000000000199bf4> ccw_device_set_online+0x170/0x2c0 <0000000000199d9e> online_store_recog_and_online+0x5a/0x14c <000000000019a08a> online_store+0xbe/0x2ec <000000000018456c> dev_attr_store+0x38/0x58 <000000000010efbc> sysfs_write_file+0x130/0x190 <00000000000af582> vfs_write+0xb2/0x160 <00000000000afc7c> sys_write+0x54/0x9c <0000000000025e16> sys32_write+0x2e/0x50 <0000000000024218> sysc_noemu+0x10/0x16 <0000000077e82bd2> 0x77e82bd2 Set elevator pointer to NULL in order to avoid double elevator_exit calls when elevator_init call for deadline iosched fails.

[PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]

2006-09-30T18:52:31Z

Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require the block layer to be present. This patch does the following: (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev support. (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls an item that uses the block layer. This includes: (*) Block I/O tracing. (*) Disk partition code. (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS. (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities - such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this. (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM drivers. (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL. (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book. (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is, however, still used in places, and so is still available. (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and parts of linux/fs.h. (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK is not enabled. (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set: (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening). (*) Makes some /proc changes: (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs. (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified. (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2. (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so). (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen. Signed-Off-By: David Howells Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

[PATCH] s390: dasd extended error reporting

2006-03-24T15:33:17Z

The DASD extended error reporting is a facility that allows to get detailed information about certain problems in the DASD I/O. This information can be used to implement fail-over applications that can recover these problems.

[PATCH] s390: merge cmb into dasdc

2006-03-24T15:33:17Z

dasd_cmd just implements three ioctls which are wrappers around functionality in the core kernel or other modules. When merging those into dasd_mod they just add 22 lines of code which is far less than the amount of code removed in the last two patches, and which doesn't spill into another 4k pages when build modular, while removing a 128lines module.
