• 945f390f0   [PATCH] drivers/block: Use ARRAY_SIZE macro ... Browse Code »

  Use ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]) and remove a
  duplicate of ARRAY_SIZE. Some trailing whitespaces are also removed.

  drivers/block/acsi* has been left out as it's marked BROKEN.

• a885c8c43   [PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method ... Browse Code »

  HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
  duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
  the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
  ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many
  drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.

  [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start
  to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
  the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
  sector size.

  Use msleep() or msleep_interruptible() [as appropriate] instead of
  schedule_timeout() to gurantee the task delays as expected. As a result
  changed the units of the timeout variable from jiffies to msecs.

  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!
