2019-07-15docs: admin-guide: add a series of orphaned documentsMauro Carvalho Chehab1-197/+0
There are lots of documents that belong to the admin-guide but are on random places (most under Documentation root dir). Move them to the admin guide.

2019-06-14block: document iostat changes for disk busy time accountingKonstantin Khlebnikov1-0/+4
Since commit 5b18b5a73760 ("block: delete part_round_stats and switch to less precise counting") io_ticks is approximated by adding one at each start and end of requests if jiffies has changed. This works perfectly for requests shorter than a jiffy. If requests runs more than 2 jiffies some I/O time will not be accounted unless there are other reuqests.

2018-07-18block: Track DISCARD statistics and output them in stat and diskstatMichael Callahan1-0/+15
Add tracking of REQ_OP_DISCARD ios to the partition statistics and append them to the various stat files in /sys as well as /proc/diskstats. These are tracked with the same four stats as reads and writes: Number of discard ios completed. Number of discard ios merged Number of discard sectors completed Milliseconds spent on discard requests This is done via adding a new STAT_DISCARD define to genhd.h and then using it to index that stat field for discard requests. tj: Refreshed on top of v4.17 and other previous updates.

2017-07-14iostats.txt: update it to cover recent KernelsMauro Carvalho Chehab1-22/+22
Everything there that it is said for 2.6 also applies on current 4.x Kernels. So, update the information there. While here, use ``foo`` for literals. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com> Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2017-07-14iostats.txt: standardize document formatMauro Carvalho Chehab1-13/+27
Each text file under Documentation follows a different format. Some doesn't even have titles! Change its representation to follow the adopted standard, using ReST markups for it to be parseable by Sphinx: - promote main title level; - mark literal blocks as such; - Add blank lines to avoid Sphinx errors.

2013-04-29iostats.txt: add easy-to-find description for field 6David P Hilton1-0/+2
iostats.txt has a merged description of fields 2 and 6, but it's not obvious. This patch adds a field 6, pointing to the merged description of field 6 in field 2. Signed-off-by: David Hilton <david.hilton.p@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

2007-07-24[BLOCK] Get rid of request_queue_t typedefJens Axboe1-1/+1
Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with the proper type. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2005-04-17Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+150
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!
