  • 602adf400   rbd: introduce rados block device (rbd), based on libceph ... Browse Code »

    The rados block device (rbd), based on osdblk, creates a block device
    that is backed by objects stored in the Ceph distributed object storage
    cluster. Each device consists of a single metadata object and data
    striped over many data objects.

    The rbd driver supports read-only snapshots.

  • 2a13877c5   osdblk: a Linux block device for OSD objects ... Browse Code »

    Submitted driver exports a block device of the form /dev/osdblkX,
    where X is a decimal number.

    It does that by mounting a stacking block device on top
    of an osd object. For example, if you create a 2G object
    on an OSD device, you can then use this module to present
    that 2G object as a Linux block device.

    See inside patch for exact documentation.

    [Sitting at linux-next helped fix proper Kconfig dependency
    for this driver, thanks to Randy Dunlap]

  • 3fbed4c61   mflash: initial support ... Browse Code »

    This driver supports mflash IO mode for linux.

    Mflash is embedded flash drive and mainly targeted mobile and consumer
    electronic devices.

    Internally, mflash has nand flash and other hardware logics and supports 2
    different operation (ATA, IO) modes. ATA mode doesn't need any new driver
    and currently works well under standard IDE subsystem. Actually it's one
    chip SSD. IO mode is ATA-like custom mode for the host that doesn't have
    IDE interface.

    Followings are brief descriptions about IO mode.
    A. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm,
    write confirm)
    B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface.
    C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash.

    This driver is quitely similar to a standard ATA driver, but because of
    following reasons it is currently seperated with ATA layer.

    1. ATA layer deals standard ATA protocol. ATA layer have many low-
    level device specific interface, but data transfer keeps ATA rule.
    But, mflash IO mode doesn't.

    2. Even though currently not used in mflash driver code, mflash has
    some custom command and modes. (nand fusing, firmware patch, etc) If
    this feature supported in linux kernel, ATA layer more altered.

    3. Currently PATA platform device driver doesn't support interrupt.
    (I'm not sure) But, mflash uses interrupt (polling mode is just for
    debug).

    4. mflash is somewhat under-develop product. Even though some company
    already using mflash their own product, I think more time is needed for
    standardization of custom command and mode. That time (maybe October)
    I will talk to with ATA people. If they accept integration, I will
    integrate.

  • 9db5579be   rewrite rd ... Browse Code »

    This is a rewrite of the ramdisk block device driver.

    The old one is really difficult because it effectively implements a block
    device which serves data out of its own buffer cache. It relies on the dirty
    bit being set, to pin its backing store in cache, however there are non
    trivial paths which can clear the dirty bit (eg. try_to_free_buffers()),
    which had recently lead to data corruption. And in general it is completely
    wrong for a block device driver to do this.

    The new one is more like a regular block device driver. It has no idea about
    vm/vfs stuff. It's backing store is similar to the buffer cache (a simple
    radix-tree of pages), but it doesn't know anything about page cache (the pages
    in the radix tree are not pagecache pages).

    There is one slight downside -- direct block device access and filesystem
    metadata access goes through an extra copy and gets stored in RAM twice.
    However, this downside is only slight, because the real buffercache of the
    device is now reclaimable (because we're not playing crazy games with it), so
    under memory intensive situations, footprint should effectively be the same --
    maybe even a slight advantage to the new driver because it can also reclaim
    buffer heads.

    The fact that it now goes through all the regular vm/fs paths makes it
    much more useful for testing, too.

    text data bss dec hex filename
    2837 849 384 4070 fe6 drivers/block/rd.o
    3528 371 12 3911 f47 drivers/block/brd.o

    Text is larger, but data and bss are smaller, making total size smaller.

    A few other nice things about it:
    - Similar structure and layout to the new loop device handlinag.
    - Dynamic ramdisk creation.
    - Runtime flexible buffer head size (because it is no longer part of the
    ramdisk code).
    - Boot / load time flexible ramdisk size, which could easily be extended
    to a per-ramdisk runtime changeable size (eg. with an ioctl).
    - Can use highmem for the backing store.

  • 74ee1a759   cdrom: Add support for Sega Dreamcast GD-ROM. ... Browse Code »

    This patch adds support for the GD-Rom drive, SEGA's proprietary
    implementation of an IDE CD Rom for the SEGA Dreamcast. This driver
    implements Sega's Packet Interface (SPI) - at least partially. It will
    also read disks in SEGA's propreitary GD format.

    Unlike previous drivers (which were never in mainline) this uses DMA and
    not PIO to read disks. It is a new driver, not a refactoring of old
    drivers.

  • e467cde23   Block driver using virtio. ... Browse Code »

    The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the
    request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector
    and inbuf id. The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last
    sg is the status byte. Whether the N entries are in or out depends on
    whether it's a read or a write.

    We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other
    side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported. It's
    not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know
    if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir().

    Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd,
    CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace. This needs a separate
    patch.
