  • This patch converts target core and follwing scsi-misc upstream fabric
    modules to use include/scsi/scsi_tcq.h includes for SIMPLE, HEAD_OF_QUEUE
    and ORDERED SCSI tasks instead of scsi/libsas.h with TASK_ATTR*

    *) tcm_loop: Convert tcm_loop_allocate_core_cmd() + tcm_loop_device_reset() to
    scsi_tcq.h
    *) tcm_fc: Convert ft_send_cmd() from FCP_PTA_* to scsi_tcq.h

  • REQ_HARDBARRIER is deprecated. Remove spurious uses in the following
    users. Please note that other than osdblk, all other uses were
    already spurious before deprecation.

    * osdblk: osdblk_rq_fn() won't receive any request with
    REQ_HARDBARRIER set. Remove the test for it.

    * pktcdvd: use of REQ_HARDBARRIER in pkt_generic_packet() doesn't mean
    anything. Removed.

    * aic7xxx_old: Setting MSG_ORDERED_Q_TAG on REQ_HARDBARRIER is
    spurious. Removed.

    * sas_scsi_host: Setting TASK_ATTR_ORDERED on REQ_HARDBARRIER is
    spurious. Removed.

    * scsi_tcq: The ordered tag path wasn't being used anyway. Removed.

  • 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.

  • Right now ->flags is a bit of a mess: some are request types, and
    others are just modifiers. Clean this up by splitting it into
    ->cmd_type and ->cmd_flags. This allows introduction of generic
    Linux block message types, useful for sending generic Linux commands
    to block devices.

  • This patch adds support for sharing tag maps at the host level
    (i.e. either every queue [LUN] has its own tag map or there's a single
    one for the entire host). This formulation is primarily intended to
    help single issue queue hardware, like the aic7xxx

  • 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!
