[PATCH] cfq-iosched: cfq-iosched: Implement group idling and IOPS accounting for groups V4
Hi, This is V4 of the patches for group_idle and CFQ group charge accounting in terms of IOPS implementation. Since V3 not much has changed. Just more testing and rebase on top of for-2.6.36 branch of block tree. What's the problem ------------------ On high end storage (I got on HP EVA storage array with 1... 11 Aug 2010 19:09

[PATCH 3/5] cfq-iosched: Implement tunable group_idle
o Implement a new tunable group_idle, which allows idling on the group instead of a cfq queue. Hence one can set slice_idle = 0 and not idle on the individual queues but idle on the group. This way on fast storage we can get fairness between groups at the same time overall throughput improves. Signed-off... 11 Aug 2010 19:09

[PATCH 1/5] cfq-iosched: Do not idle if slice_idle=0
o do not idle either on cfq queue or service tree if slice_idle=0. User does not want any queue or service tree idling. Currently even if slice_idle=0, we were waiting for request to finish before expiring the queue and that can lead to lower queue depths.

Outdated sysfs.txt document?
Hi, I have been going through Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt, and noticed what I believe to be either outdated or incomplete: The "Top Level Directory Layout" mentions block/ bus/ class/ dev/ devices/ firmware/ net/ fs/ We seem to be missing kernel, power, hypervisor, module, etc. dave(a)cowboy... 11 Aug 2010 21:22

[PATCHv3 1/2] lib: vsprintf: optimised put_dec() function
The put_dec() and family of functions were based on a code optimised for processors with 8-bit ALU but since we don't need to limit ourselves to such small ALUs, the code was optimised and used capacities of an 16-bit ALU anyway. This patch goes further and uses the full capacity of the processor's ALU. On 64... 11 Aug 2010 18:02
