  • struct cdev does not need the kobject name to be set, as it is never
    used. This patch fixes up the few places it is set.

  • A number of different drivers incorrect access the kobject name field
    directly. This is not correct as the name might not be in the array.
    Use the proper accessor function instead.

  • This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
    long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
    proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
    in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
    environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.

    Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the
    error handling.

  • As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete,
    the 'size' argument is now redundant. Remove it.

    Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed
    from bi_size. So don't do that either.

    While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void.

  • The only caller of bio_endio that does not pass the full bi_size
    is end_that_request_first. Also, no ->bi_end_io method is really
    interested in bi_size being decremented.

    So move the decrement and related code into ll_rw_blk and merge it
    with order_bio_endio to form req_bio_endio which does endio functionality
    specific to request completion.

    As some ->bi_end_io methods do check bi_size of 0, we set it thus for
    now, but that will go in the next patch.

  • The entire function of flush_dry_bio_endio is to undo the effects
    of bio_endio (when called on a barrier request). So remove the
    function and the call to bio_endio.

    This allows us to remove "bi_size" from "struct request_queue".

  • blk_rq_bio_prep is exported for use in exactly
    one place. That place can benefit from using
    the new blk_rq_append_bio instead.
    So
    - change dm-emc to call blk_rq_append_bio
    - stop exporting blk_rq_bio_prep, and
    - initialise rq_disk in blk_rq_bio_prep,

  • Every usage of rq_for_each_bio wraps a usage of
    bio_for_each_segment, so these can be combined into
    rq_for_each_segment.

    are needed for the double iteration.

  • blk_recalc_rq_segments calls blk_recount_segments on each bio,
    then does some extra calculations to handle segments that overlap
    two bios.

    If we merge the code from blk_recount_segments into
    blk_recalc_rq_segments, we can process the whole request one bio_vec
    at a time, and not need the messy cross-bio calculations.

    Then blk_recount_segments can be implemented by calling
    blk_recalc_rq_segments, passing it a simple on-stack request which
    stores just the bio.

  • Should add some comments for the tag barriers (they won't be so important
    if we can switch over to the explicit _lock bitops, but for now we should
    make it clear).

    Jens' original patch said a barrier after the test_and_clear_bit was also
    required. I can't see why (and it would prevent the use of the _lock bitop).

  • There's a race condition in blk_queue_end_tag() for shared tag maps,
    users include stex (promise supertrak thingy) and qla2xxx. The former
    at least has reported bugs in this area, not sure why we haven't seen
    any for the latter. It could be because the window is narrow and that
    other conditions in the qla2xxx code hide this. It's a real bug,
    though, as the stex smp users can attest.

    We need to ensure two things - the tag bit clearing needs to happen
    AFTER we cleared the tag pointer, as the tag bit clearing/setting is
    what protects this map. Secondly, we need to ensure that the visibility
    of the tag pointer and tag bit clear are ordered properly.

    [ I removed the SMP barriers - "test_and_clear_bit()" already implies
    all the required barriers. -- Linus ]

  • This updates sg_io_v4 structure (based on Doug's RFC, release 1.3).

    The major changes are:

    - add dout_resid field
    - increase tag size to 64 bits to comply with SAM-4 and SRP
    - add dout_iovec_count and din_iovec_count

    dout_iovec_count and din_iovec_count aren't supported now. I'm not
    sure whether they will be supported or not but they were added for the
    possible future changes.

  • BLK_DEV_BSG was added outside of the if BLOCK check, which allows it to
    be enabled when CONFIG_BLOCK=n. This leads to many screenlengths of
    errors, starting with a parse error on the request_queue_t definition.
    Obviously this wasn't intended for CONFIG_BLOCK=n usage, so just move the
    option back in to the block.

  • Currently, bsg doesn't make class backlinks (a process whereby you'd get
    a link to bsg in the device directory in the same way you get one for
    sg). This is because the bsg device is uninitialised, so the class
    device has nothing it can attach to. The fix is to make the bsg device
    point to the cdevice of the entity creating the bsg, necessitating
    changing the bsg_register_queue() prototype into a form that takes the
    generic device.

  • unfortunately, if IS_ERR(class_dev) is true, that means class_dev isn't
    null and the check in the error leg is pointless ... it's also asking
    for trouble to request unregistration of a device we haven't actually
    created (although it works currently). Fix by using explicit gotos and
    unregisters.
