  • b3a6ffe16   Get rid of CONFIG_LSF ... Browse Code »

    We have two seperate config entries for large devices/files. One
    is CONFIG_LBD that guards just the devices, the other is CONFIG_LSF
    that handles large files. This doesn't make a lot of sense, you typically
    want both or none. So get rid of CONFIG_LSF and change CONFIG_LBD wording
    to indicate that it covers both.

    This was a forward port of work done by Mathieu Desnoyers, I changed it to
    encode the 'what' parameter on the tracepoint name, so that one can register
    interest in specific events and not on classes of events to then check the
    'what' parameter.

  • 7ba1ba12e   block: Block layer data integrity support ... Browse Code »

    Some block devices support verifying the integrity of requests by way
    of checksums or other protection information that is submitted along
    with the I/O.

    This patch implements support for generating and verifying integrity
    metadata, as well as correctly merging, splitting and cloning bios and
    requests that have this extra information attached.

    See Documentation/block/data-integrity.txt for more information.

  • ee86418d3   Kconfig: clean up block/Kconfig help descriptions ... Browse Code »

    Modify the help descriptions of block/Kconfig for clarity, accuracy and
    consistency.

    Refactor the BLOCK description a bit. The wording "This permits ... to be
    removed" isn't quite right; the block layer is removed when the option is
    disabled, whereas most descriptions talk about what happens when the option is
    enabled. Reformat the list of what is affected by disabling the block layer.

    Add more examples of large block devices to LBD and strive for technical
    accuracy; block devices of size _exactly_ 2TB require CONFIG_LBD, not only
    "bigger than 2TB". Also try to say (perhaps not very clearly) that the config
    option is only needed when you want to have individual block devices of size
    >= 2TB, for example if you had 3 x 1TB disks in your computer you'd have a
    total storage size of 3TB but you wouldn't need the option unless you want to
    aggregate those disks into a RAID or LVM.

    Improve terminology and grammar on BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE.

    I also added the boilerplate "If unsure, say N" to most options.

    Precisely say "2TB and larger" for LSF.

    Indent the help text for BLK_DEV_BSG by 2 spaces in accordance with the
    standard.

  • 4d5d8e9d3   bsg: Fix build for CONFIG_BLOCK=n ... Browse Code »

    BLK_DEV_BSG was added outside of the if BLOCK check, which allows it to
    be enabled when CONFIG_BLOCK=n. This leads to many screenlengths of
    errors, starting with a parse error on the request_queue_t definition.
    Obviously this wasn't intended for CONFIG_BLOCK=n usage, so just move the
    option back in to the block.

    Caught with a randconfig on sh.

  • 80ed71ce1   [SCSI] bsg: separate bsg and SCSI (so SCSI can be modular) ... Browse Code »

    This patch moves the bsg registration into SCSI so that bsg no longer
    has a dependency on the scsi_interface_register API.

    This can be viewed as a temporary expedient until we can get universal
    bsg binding sorted out properly. Also use the sdev bus_id as the
    generic bsg name (to avoid clashes with the queue name).

    The SCSI code can be compiled modular, but BLK_DEV_BSG currently cannot,
    and depends on the SCSI layer. So make sure that it depends on the SCSI
    layer being compiled in, not just available as a module.

  • e62438630   [PATCH] Centralise definitions of sector_t and blkcnt_t ... Browse Code »

    CONFIG_LBD and CONFIG_LSF are spread into asm/types.h for no particularly
    good reason.

    Centralising the definition in linux/types.h means that arch maintainers
    don't need to bother adding it, as well as fixing the problem with
    x86-64 users being asked to make a decision that has absolutely no
    effect.

    The H8/300 porters seem particularly confused since I'm not aware of any
    microcontrollers that need to support 2TB filesystems.

  • 9361401eb   [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6] ... Browse Code »

    Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require
    it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
    the block layer to be present.

    This patch does the following:

    (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
    support.

    (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
    an item that uses the block layer. This includes:

    (*) Block I/O tracing.

    (*) Disk partition code.

    (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

    (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
    block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
    such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

    (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
    drivers.

    (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

    (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
    taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

    (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
    linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is,
    however, still used in places, and so is still available.

    (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
    parts of linux/fs.h.

    (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

    (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

    (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
    is not enabled.

    (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
    required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

    (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

    (*) Makes some /proc changes:

    (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

    (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

    (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

    (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
    given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

    (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
    CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

    (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
    error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

    (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
    CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

    Add blkcnt_t as the type of inode.i_blocks. This enables you to make the size
    of blkcnt_t either 4 bytes or 8 bytes on 32 bits architecture with CONFIG_LSF.

    - CONFIG_LSF
    Add new configuration parameter.
    - blkcnt_t
    On h8300, i386, mips, powerpc, s390 and sh that define sector_t,
    blkcnt_t is defined as u64 if CONFIG_LSF is enabled; otherwise it is
    defined as unsigned long.
    On other architectures, it is defined as unsigned long.
    - inode.i_blocks
    Change the type from sector_t to blkcnt_t.
