This patchset fixes page leak issue in discard commands with unprep facility that James posted: http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=127791727508214&w=2 The 1/3 patch adds unprep facility to the block layer (identical to what James posted). The 2/3 patch frees a page for discard commands by using the unprep facility. James' original patch doesn't work since it accesses to rq->bio in q->unprep_rq_fn. We hit oops since q->unprep_rq_fn is called when all the data buffer (req->bio and scsi_data_buffer) in the request is freed. I use rq->buffer to keep track of an allocated page as the block layer sets rq->buffer to the address of bio's page. scsi-ml (and llds) don't use rq->buffer (rq->buffer is set to NULL). So I can't say that I like it lots. Any other way to do that? The 3/3 path just removes the dead code. This is against Jens' for-2.6.36. The git tree is also available: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tomo/linux-2.6-misc.git unprep I'll update the discard FS request conversion on the top of this soon. But this can be applied independently (and fixes the memory leak). = block/blk-core.c | 25 +++++++++++++++++++++++++ block/blk-settings.c | 17 +++++++++++++++++ drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c | 2 +- drivers/scsi/sd.c | 25 +++++++++++++++---------- include/linux/blkdev.h | 4 ++++ 5 files changed, 62 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
