  • Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it
    all into the operations. The little caveat here is that previously
    cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op
    fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough
    operations.

    Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver
    private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we
    can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

  • There is no need to init .owner field.

    Based on the patch from Peter Griffin
    "mmc: remove .owner field for drivers using module_platform_driver"

    This patch removes the superflous .owner field for drivers which
    use the module_platform_driver API, as this is overriden in
    platform_driver_register anyway."

  • This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
    yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
    transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
    most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
    pointing at anything valid.

    Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().

    For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
    in the bio.

  • CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
    markings need to be removed.

    This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
    __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

    Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
    in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • .name, .match_table and .owner are duplicated in both of_platform_driver
    and device_driver. This patch is a removes the extra copies from struct
    of_platform_driver and converts all users to the device_driver members.

    This patch is a pretty mechanical change. The usage model doesn't change
    and if any drivers have been missed, or if anything has been fixed up
    incorrectly, then it will fail with a compile time error, and the fixup
    will be trivial. This patch looks big and scary because it touches so
    many files, but it should be pretty safe.

  • 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.

  • xsysace already tracks in-flight request using ace->req. Converting
    to dequeueing model is mostly a matter of adding dequeueing call after

  • 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().

  • Commit 4aaf2fec718f6fbf38668edf733a0ab09a49cab1 (xsysace: make it
    'struct hd_driveid'-free) converted the cf_id member of 'struct
    ace_device' from a 'struct hd_driveid' to a u16 array. However,
    references to the base of the structure were still using the '&'
    operator. When the address was used with the ata_id_u32() macro, the
    compiler used the size of the entire array instead of sizeof(u16) to
    calculate the offset from the base address.

    This patch removes the use of the '&' operator from all references of
    cf_id to fix the bug and remove future confusion.
