Revision e4d84909dd48b5e5806a5d18b881e1ca1610ba9b authored by Dan Williams on 24 September 2007, 17:06:13 UTC, committed by Dan Williams on 24 September 2007, 20:23:35 UTC
1/ ops_complete_biofill tried to avoid calling handle_stripe since all the
state necessary to return read completions is available.  However the
process of determining whether more read requests are pending requires
locking the stripe (to block add_stripe_bio from updating dev->toead).
ops_complete_biofill can run in tasklet context, so rather than upgrading
all the stripe locks from spin_lock to spin_lock_bh this patch just
unconditionally reschedules handle_stripe after completing the read
request.

2/ ops_complete_biofill needlessly qualified processing R5_Wantfill with
dev->toread.  The result being that the 'biofill' pending bit is cleared
before handling the pending read-completions on dev->read.  R5_Wantfill can
be unconditionally handled because the 'biofill' pending bit prevents new
R5_Wantfill requests from being seen by ops_run_biofill and
ops_complete_biofill.
