In-kernel disk event polling doesn't matter for legacy/fringe drivers
and may lead to infinite event loop if ->check_events() implementation
generates events on level condition instead of edge.Now that block layer supports suppressing exporting unlisted events,
simply leaving disk->events cleared allows these drivers to keep the
internal revalidation behavior intact while avoiding weird
interactions with userland event handler.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

Convert gdrom and viocd from ->media_changed() to ->check_events().
It's unclear how the conditions are cleared and it's possible that it
may generate spurious events when polled.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel
calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers
were already using the BKL before.This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
Still need to check whether this is safe to do.file=$1

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model. This patch completes the API transition by...* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
* applying new API to all LLDs
Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.[ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver
directly manipulates request fields. This means that the 'hard'
request fields always equal the !hard fields. Convert all
rq->sectors, nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors references to
accessors.While at it, drop superflous blk_rq_pos() < 0 test in swim.c.

end_request() has been kept around for backward compatibility;
however, it's about time for it to go away.* There aren't too many users left.
* Its use of @updtodate is pretty confusing.
* In some cases, newer code ends up using mixture of end_request() and
[__]blk_end_request[_all](), which is way too confusing.So, add [__]blk_end_request_cur() and replace end_request() with it.
Most conversions are straightforward. Noteworthy ones are...* paride/pcd: next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* paride/pf: pf_end_request() and next_request() updated to take
0/-errno instead of 1/0.* xd: xd_readwrite() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
* mtd/mtd_blkdevs: blktrans_discard_request() updated to return
0/-errno instead of 1/0. Unnecessary local variable res
initialization removed from mtd_blktrans_thread().[ Impact: cleanup ]

There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with
full request length and expect full completion. Many of them ensure
that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return
value, which is awkward and error-prone.This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
and fully completes the request. BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
this actually happens.Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.
* cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().* s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
__blk_end_request_all().* s390/char/tape_block: tapeblock_end_request() replaced with direct
calls to blk_end_request_all().[ Impact: cleanup ]

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.New methods:
open(bdev, mode)
release(disk, mode)
ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */
compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */Signed-off-by: Al Viro

This patch converts gdrom to use __blk_end_request() directly
so that end_{queued|dequeued}_request() can be removed.gd.transfer is '1' in error cases and '0' in non-error cases,
so gdrom hasn't been propagating any error code to the block layer.
We can just convert error cases to '-EIO'.Signed-off-by: Kiyoshi Ueda

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.Signed-off by: Adrian McMenamin
