* Move hack for flush requests from choose_drive() to do_ide_request().
* Add ide_plug_device() helper and convert core IDE code from using
per-hwgroup lock as a request lock to use the ->queue_lock instead.
* Remove no longer needed:
- choose_drive() function
- WAKEUP() macro
- 'sleeping' flag from ide_hwif_t
- 'service_{start,time}' fields from ide_drive_t
This patch results in much simpler and more maintainable code
(besides being a scalability improvement).
v2:
* Fixes/improvements based on review from Elias:
- take as many requests off the queue as possible
- remove now redundant BUG_ON()

Add ide_[un]lock_hwgroup() inline helpers for obtaining exclusive
access to the given hwgroup and update the core code accordingly.
[ This change besides making code saner results in more efficient
use of ide_{get,release}_lock(). ]

* Tell the block layer that we are not done handling requests by using
blk_plug_device() in ide_do_request() (request handling function)
and ide_timer_expiry() (timeout handler) if the queue is not empty.
* Remove optimization which directly calls ide_do_request() for the next
queued command from the ide_intr() (IRQ handler) and ide_timer_expiry().
* Remove no longer needed IRQ masking from ide_do_request() - in case of
IDE ports needing serialization disable_irq_nosync()/enable_irq() was
used for the (possibly shared) IRQ of the other IDE port.
* Put the misplaced comment in the right place in ide_do_request().
* Drop no longer needed 'int masked_irq' argument from ide_do_request().
* Merge ide_do_request() into do_ide_request().
* Remove no longer needed IDE_NO_IRQ define.
While at it:
* Don't use HWGROUP() macro in do_ide_request().
* Use __func__ in ide_intr().
This patch reduces IRQ hadling latency for IDE and improves the system-wide
handling of shared IRQs (which should result in more timeout resistant and
stable IDE systems). It also makes it possible to do some further changes
later (i.e. replace some busy-waiting delays with sleeping equivalents).
v2:
Changes per review from Elias Oltmanns:
- fix wrong goto statement in 'if (startstop == ide_stopped)' block
- use spin_unlock_irq()
- don't use obsolete HWIF() macro

new helpers - insert_inode_locked() and insert_inode_locked4().
Hash new inode, making sure that there's no such inode in icache
already. If there is and it does not end up unhashed (as would
happen if we have nfsd trying to resolve a bogus fhandle), fail.
Otherwise insert our inode into hash and succeed.
In either case have i_state set to new+locked; cleanup ends up
being simpler with such calling conventions.

Remove the hopelessly misguided ->dir_notify(). The only instance (cifs)
has been broken by design from the very beginning; the objects it creates
are never destroyed, keep references to struct file they can outlive, nothing
that could possibly evict them exists on close(2) path *and* no locking
whatsoever is done to prevent races with close(), should the previous, er,
deficiencies someday be dealt with.

struct dentry is one of the most critical structures in the kernel. So it's
sad to see it going neglected.
With CONFIG_PROFILING turned on (which is probably the common case at least
for distros and kernel developers), sizeof(struct dcache) == 208 here
(64-bit). This gives 19 objects per slab.
I packed d_mounted into a hole, and took another 4 bytes off the inline
name length to take the padding out from the end of the structure. This
shinks it to 200 bytes. I could have gone the other way and increased the
length to 40, but I'm aiming for a magic number, read on...
I then got rid of the d_cookie pointer. This shrinks it to 192 bytes. Rant:
why was this ever a good idea? The cookie system should increase its hash
size or use a tree or something if lookups are a problem. Also the "fast
dcookie lookups" in oprofile should be moved into the dcookie code -- how
can oprofile possibly care about the dcookie_mutex? It gets dropped after
get_dcookie() returns so it can't be providing any sort of protection.
At 192 bytes, 21 objects fit into a 4K page, saving about 3MB on my system
with ~140 000 entries allocated. 192 is also a multiple of 64, so we get
nice cacheline alignment on 64 and 32 byte line systems -- any given dentry
will now require 3 cachelines to touch all fields wheras previously it
would require 4.
I know the inline name size was chosen quite carefully, however with the
reduction in cacheline footprint, it should actually be just about as fast
to do a name lookup for a 36 character name as it was before the patch (and
faster for other sizes). The memory footprint savings for names which are
<= 32 or > 36 bytes long should more than make up for the memory cost for
33-36 byte names.
Performance is a feature...
