2011-03-22[media] v4l: v4l2_subdev userspace format APILaurent Pinchart
Add a userspace API to get, set and enumerate the media format on a subdev pad. The format at the output of a subdev usually depends on the format at its input(s). The try format operation is thus not suitable for probing format at individual pads, as it can't modify the device state and thus can't remember the format tried at the input to compute the output format. To fix the problem, pass an extra argument to the get/set format operations to select the 'try' or 'active' format. The try format is used when probing the subdev. Setting the try format must not change the device configuration but can store data for later reuse. Data storage is provided at the file-handle level so applications probing the subdev concurently won't interfere with each other. The active format is used when configuring the subdev. It's identical to the format handled by the usual get/set operations.

2011-03-22[media] v4l: Group media bus pixel codes by types and sort them alphabeticallyLaurent Pinchart
Adding new pixel codes at the end of the enumeration will soon create a mess, so group the pixel codes by type and sort them by bus_width, bits per component, samples per pixel and order of subsamples. As the codes are part of the kernel ABI their value can't change when a new code is inserted in the enumeration, so they are given an explicit numerical value. When inserting a new pixel code developers must use and update the next free value.

2011-03-22[media] media: Pipelines and media streamsLaurent Pinchart
Drivers often need to associate pipeline objects to entities, and to take stream state into account when configuring entities and links. The pipeline API helps drivers manage that information. When starting streaming, drivers call media_entity_pipeline_start(). The function marks all entities connected to the given entity through enabled links, either directly or indirectly, as streaming. Similarly, when stopping the stream, drivers call media_entity_pipeline_stop(). The media_entity_pipeline_start() function takes a pointer to a media pipeline and stores it in every entity in the graph. Drivers should embed the media_pipeline structure in higher-level pipeline structures and can then access the pipeline through the media_entity structure. Link configuration will fail with -EBUSY by default if either end of the link is a streaming entity, unless the link is marked with the MEDIA_LNK_FL_DYNAMIC flag.

2011-03-21[media] v4l: removal of old, obsolete ioctlsHans Verkuil
Some ioctl's were defined wrong on 2.6.2 and 2.6.6, using the wrong type of R/W arguments. They were fixed, but the old ioctl names are still there, maintained to avoid breaking binary compatibility: There's no sense on preserving those forever, as it is very doubtful that someone would try to use a such old binary with a modern kernel. Removing them will allow us to remove some magic done at the V4L ioctl handler. Note that any application compiled with a videodev2.h from 2.6.7 or later will be using the correct ioctls.

2011-03-21[media] v4l: Add multi-planar API definitions to the V4L2 APIPawel Osciak
Multi-planar API is as a backwards-compatible extension of the V4L2 API, which allows video buffers to consist of one or more planes. Planes are separate memory buffers; each has its own mapping, backed by usually separate physical memory buffers. Many different uses for the multi-planar API are possible, examples include: - embedded devices requiring video components to be placed in physically separate buffers, e.g. for Samsung S3C/S5P SoC series' video codec, Y and interleaved Cb/Cr components reside in buffers in different memory banks; - applications may receive (or choose to store) video data of one video buffer in separate memory buffers; such data would have to be temporarily copied together into one buffer before passing it to a V4L2 device; - applications or drivers may want to pass metadata related to a buffer and it may not be possible to place it in the same buffer, together with video data.

2011-03-21libceph: fix osd request queuing on osdmap updatesSage Weil
If we send a request to osd A, and the request's pg remaps to osd B and then back to A in quick succession, we need to resend the request to A. The old code was only calling kick_requests after processing all incremental maps in a message, so it was very possible to not resend a request that needed to be resent. This would make the osd eventually time out (at least with the current default of osd timeouts enabled). The correct approach is to scan requests on every map incremental. This patch refactors the kick code in a few ways: - all requests are either on req_lru (in flight), req_unsent (ready to send), or req_notarget (currently map to no up osd) - mapping always done by map_request (previous map_osds) - if the mapping changes, we requeue. requests are resent only after all map incrementals are processed. - some osd reset code is moved out of kick_requests into a separate function - the "kick this osd" functionality is moved to kick_osd_requests, as it is unrelated to scanning for request->pg->osd mapping changes Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net>

2011-03-21block: attempt to merge with existing requests on plug flushJens Axboe
One of the disadvantages of on-stack plugging is that we potentially lose out on merging since all pending IO isn't always visible to everybody. When we flush the on-stack plugs, right now we don't do any checks to see if potential merge candidates could be utilized. Correct this by adding a new insert variant, ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT_MERGE. It works just ELEVATOR_INSERT_SORT, but first checks whether we can merge with an existing request before doing the insertion (if we fail merging). This fixes a regression with multiple processes issuing IO that can be merged. Thanks to Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com> for testing and fixing an accounting bug.

2011-03-21introduce sys_syncfs to sync a single file systemSage Weil
It is frequently useful to sync a single file system, instead of all mounted file systems via sync(2): - On machines with many mounts, it is not at all uncommon for some of them to hang (e.g. unresponsive NFS server). sync(2) will get stuck on those and may never get to the one you do care about (e.g., /). - Some applications write lots of data to the file system and then want to make sure it is flushed to disk. Calling fsync(2) on each file introduces unnecessary ordering constraints that result in a large amount of sub-optimal writeback/flush/commit behavior by the file system. There are currently two ways (that I know of) to sync a single super_block: - BLKFLSBUF ioctl on the block device: That also invalidates the bdev mapping, which isn't usually desirable, and doesn't work for non-block file systems. - 'mount -o remount,rw' will call sync_filesystem as an artifact of the current implemention. Relying on this little-known side effect for something like data safety sounds foolish. Both of these approaches require root privileges, which some applications do not have (nor should they need?) given that sync(2) is an unprivileged operation. This patch introduces a new system call syncfs(2) that takes an fd and syncs only the file system it references. Maybe someday we can $ sync /some/path and not get sync: ignoring all arguments The syscall is motivated by comments by Al and Christoph at the last LSF. syncfs(2) seems like an appropriate name given statfs(2).

2011-03-20jbd2: add the b_cow_tid field to journal_head structAmir Goldstein
The b_cow_tid field will be used by the ext4 snapshots code to store the transaction id when the buffer was last cowed. Merging this patch to mainline will allow users to test ext4 snapshots as a standalone module, without the need to patch and install a development kernel. On 64bit machines this field uses fills in a padding "hole" and does not increase the size of the struct. On a 32bit machine this patch increases the size of the struct from 60 to 64 bytes.
