Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

loop: use BIO list management functions Now that the bio list management stuff is generic, convert loop to use bio lists instead of its own private bio list implementation.

loop: Limit the number of requests in the bio list Currently there is not limitation of number of requests in the loop bio list. This can lead into some nasty situations when the caller spawns tons of bio requests taking huge amount of memory. This is even more obvious with discard where blkdev_issue_discard() will submit all bios for the range and wait for them to finish afterwards. On really big loop devices and slow backing file system this can lead to OOM situation as reported by Dave Chinner. With this patch we will wait in loop_make_request() if the number of bios in the loop bio list would exceed 'nr_congestion_on'. We'll wake up the process as we process the bios form the list. Some threshold hysteresis is in place to avoid high frequency oscillation.

[PATCH] kthread: convert loop.c to kthread Convert loop.c from the deprecated kernel_thread to kthread. This patch simplifies the code quite a bit and passes similar testing to the previous submission on both emulated x86 and s390. Changes since last submission: switched to using a rather simple loop based on wait_event_interruptible. Signed-off-by: Serge E.

remove artificial software max_loop limit Remove artificial maximum 256 loop device that can be created due to a legacy device number limit. Searching through lkml archive, there are several instances where users complained about the artificial limit that the loop driver impose. There is no reason to have such limit. This patch rid the limit entirely and make loop device and associated block queue instantiation on demand. With on-demand instantiation, it also gives the benefit of not wasting memory if these devices are not in use (compare to current implementation that always create 8 loop devices), a net improvement in both areas. This version is both tested with creation of large number of loop devices and is compatible with existing losetup/mount user land tools. There are a number of people who worked on this and provided valuable suggestions, in no particular order, by: Jens Axboe Jan Engelhardt Christoph Hellwig Thomas M Signed-off-by: Ken Chen <kenchen@google.com> Cc: Jan Engelhardt <jengelh@linux01.gwdg.de> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
