Export 'rd_nr', 'rd_size' and 'max_part' parameters to sysfs so user can
know that how many devices are allowed, how big each device is and how
many partitions are supported. If 'max_part' is 0, it means simply the
device doesn't support partitioning.
Also note that 'max_part' can be adjusted to power of 2 minus 1 form if
needed. User should check this value after the module loading if he/she
want to use that number correctly (i.e. fdisk, mknod, etc.).

When finding or allocating a ram disk device, brd_probe() did not take
partition numbers into account so that it can result to a different
device. Consider following example (I set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_COUNT=4
for simplicity) :
$ sudo modprobe brd max_part=15
$ ls -l /dev/ram*

An administrative detach used to request a state change directly to D_DISKLESS,
first suspending IO to avoid the last put_ldev() occuring from an endio handler,
potentially in irq context.
This is not enough on the receiving side (typically secondary), we may miss
some peer_req on the way to local disk, which then may do the last put_ldev()
from their drbd_peer_request_endio().
This patch makes the detach always go through the intermediate D_FAILED state.
We may consider to rename it D_DETACHING.
Alternative approach would be to create yet an other work item to be scheduled
on the worker, do the destructor work from there, and get the timing right.

The old (optimistic) implementation could shrink the bio size
on an primary device.
Shrinking the bio size on a primary device is bad. Since there
we might get BIOs with the old (bigger) size shortly after
we published the new size.
The new implementation is more conservative, and eventually
increases the max_bio_size on a primary device (which is valid).
It does so, when it knows the local limit AND the remote limit.
We cache the last seen max_bio_size of the peer in the meta
data, and rely on that, to make the operation of single
nodes more efficient.

If there is no replication traffic within the idle timeout
(ping-int seconds), DRBD will send a P_PING,
and adjust the timeout to ping-timeout.
If there is no P_PING_ACK received within this ping-timeout,
DRBD finally drops the connection, and tries to re-establish it.
To decide which timeout was active, we compared the current timeout
with the ping-timeout, and dropped the connection, if that was the case.
By default, ping-int is 10 seconds, ping-timeout is 500 ms.
Unfortunately, if you configure ping-timeout to be the same as ping-int,
expiry of the idle-timeout had been mistaken for a missing ping ack,
and caused an immediate reconnection attempt.
Fix:
Allow both timeouts to be equal, use a local variable
to store which timeout is active.

If the configured "max_buffers" is not big enough to match the bandwidth
of the respective deployment, a distributed deadlock could be triggered
by e.g. fast online verify and heavy application IO.
TCP connections would block on congestion, because both receivers
would wait on pages to become available.
Fortunately the respective senders in this case would be able to give
back some pages already. So do that.

Actually the documentation needs to get fixed now. Since the

The rbd driver currently splits bios when they span an object boundary.
However, the blk_end_request expects the completions to roll up the results
in block device order, and the split rbd/ceph ops can complete in any
order. This patch adds a struct rbd_req_coll to track completion of split
requests and ensures that the results are passed back up to the block layer
in order.
This fixes errors where the file system gets completion of a read operation
that spans an object boundary before the data has actually arrived. The
bug is easily reproduced with iozone with a working set larger than
available RAM.

If one runs a simple fio request with random read/write with a

The problem as explained by Vivek Goyal was:
".. that difference is that sync vs async requests. In the case of
a kernel thread submitting IO, [..] all the WRITES might be being
considered as async and will go in a different queue. If you mix those
with some READS, they are always sync and will go in differnet queue.
In presence of sync queue, CFQ will idle and choke up WRITES in
an attempt to improve latencies of READs.
In case of AIO [note: this is what QEMU qdisk is doing] , [..]
it is direct IO and both READS and WRITES will be considered SYNC
and will go in a single queue and no choking of WRITES will take place."
The solution is quite simple, tack on REQ_SYNC (which is
what the WRITE_ODIRECT macro points to) and the numbers go
back up.

We used to the plug/unplug on the submit_bio. But that means
if within a stream of WRITE, WRITE, WRITE,...,WRITE we have
one READ, it could stall the pipeline (as the 'submio_bio'
could trigger the unplug_fnc to be called and stall/sync
when doing the READ). Instead we want to move the unplugging
when the whole (or as a much as possible) ring buffer has been
processed. This also eliminates us doing plug/unplug for
each request.

In-kernel disk event polling doesn't matter for legacy/fringe drivers
and may lead to infinite event loop if ->check_events() implementation
generates events on level condition instead of edge.
Now that block layer supports suppressing exporting unlisted events,
simply leaving disk->events cleared allows these drivers to keep the
internal revalidation behavior intact while avoiding weird
interactions with userland event handler.

Disk event code automatically blocks events on excl write. This is
primarily to avoid issuing polling commands while burning is in
progress. This behavior doesn't fit other types of devices with
removeable media where polling commands don't have adverse side
effects and door locking usually doesn't exist.
This patch introduces new genhd flag which controls the auto-blocking
behavior and uses it to enable auto-blocking only on optical devices.
Note for stable: 2.6.38 and later only

And also shorten the name if it has blkback to blkbk.
This results in the symbol table (if compiled in the kernel)
to be much shorter, prettier, and also easier to search for.

Daniel Stodden suggested to eliminate vbd.c and interface.c, inlining the
critical bits where they belong, respectively.
Leaving only blkback.c for the data- and xenbus.c for the control path.

In commit 95a0f10cdd ("drbd: store in-core bitmap little endian,
regardless of architecture") drbd had made the sane choice to use
little-endian bitmap functions everywhere. However, it used the
horrible old functions names from <asm-generic/bitops/le.h>, that were
never really meant to be exported.
In the meantime, things got cleaned up, and in commit c4945b9ed4
("asm-generic: rename generic little-endian bitops functions") we
renamed the LE bitops to something sane, exactly so that they could be
used in random code without people gouging their eyes out when seeing
the crazy jumble of letters that were the old internal names.
As a result the drbd thing merged cleanly (commit 8d49a77568: "Merge
branch 'for-2.6.39/drivers' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-2.6-block"),
since there was no data conflict - but the end result obviously doesn't
actually compile.

Under certain workloads a command may seem to get lost. IOW, the Smart Array
thinks all commands have been completed but we still have commands in our
completion queue. This may lead to system instability, filesystems going
read-only, or even panics depending on the affected filesystem. We add an
extra read to force the write to complete.
Testing shows this extra read avoids the problem.
