Eric Dumazet 95e861db3e [PATCH] reorder struct files_struct
The file_lock spinlock sits close to mostly read fields of 'struct
files_struct'

In SMP (and NUMA) environments, each time a thread wants to open or close
a file, it has to acquire the spinlock, thus invalidating the cache line
containing this spinlock on other CPUS.  So other threads doing
read()/write()/...  calls that use RCU to access the file table are going
to ask further memory (possibly NUMA) transactions to read again this
memory line.

Move the spinlock to another cache line, so that concurrent threads can
share the cache line containing 'count' and 'fdt' fields.

It's worth up to 9% on a microbenchmark using a 4-thread 2-package x86
machine.  See

J. Bruce Fields dc15ae14e9 [PATCH] VFS: Fix memory leak with file leases
The patch
 http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/diffs/fs/locks.c@1.70??nav=index.html
 introduced a pretty nasty memory leak in the lease code. When freeing
 the lease, the code in locks_delete_lock() will correctly clean up
 the fasync queue, but when we return to fcntl_setlease(), the freed
 fasync entry will be reinstated.

 This patch ensures that we skip the call to fasync_helper() when we're
 freeing up the lease.

We had similar problems with other ioctls where userspace did things
like that.  What we did there was to put the compat handler to generic
code.  The patch below does that, adding a big comment about what's
going on and removing the COMPAT_IOCTL entires for these on powerpc
that not only weren't ever useful but are duplicated now aswell.

This patch reimplements noop-iosched such that it complies to generic

This patch adds request_queue->nr_sorted which keeps the number of
requests in the iosched and implement elv_drain_elevator which
performs forced dispatching.  elv_drain_elevator checks whether
iosched actually dispatches all requests it has and prints error

wrong barrier operations, I think this extra check is worthwhile.

Zachary Amsden b8ea2cb512 [BLOCK] elevator init fixes
I got a panic in the elevator code, backtrace :

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000060

EIP is at elevator_put+0x0/0x30 (null elevator_type passed)
..
elevator_init+0x38
blk_init_queu_node+0xc9
floppy_init+0xdb
do_initcalls+0x23

Clearly if the kmalloc here fails, e->elevator_type is not yet set; this
appears to be the correct fix, but I think I probably hit the second case
due to a race condition.  Someone more familiar with the elevator code
should look at this more closely until I can determine if I can reproduce.
