IOW, it needs to depend on both CONFIG_BLOCK and CONFIG_COMPAT.

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.Caught with a randconfig on sh.

This patch moves the bsg registration into SCSI so that bsg no longer
has a dependency on the scsi_interface_register API.This can be viewed as a temporary expedient until we can get universal
bsg binding sorted out properly. Also use the sdev bus_id as the
generic bsg name (to avoid clashes with the queue name).Acked-by: FUJITA Tomonori

The SCSI code can be compiled modular, but BLK_DEV_BSG currently cannot,
and depends on the SCSI layer. So make sure that it depends on the SCSI
layer being compiled in, not just available as a module.Noticed by Jeff Garzik and S.Çağlar Onur.

This updates bsg entry in Kconfig:
- bsg supports sg v4
- bsg depends on SCSI

CONFIG_LBD and CONFIG_LSF are spread into asm/types.h for no particularly
good reason.Centralising the definition in linux/types.h means that arch maintainers
don't need to bother adding it, as well as fixing the problem with
x86-64 users being asked to make a decision that has absolutely no
effect.The H8/300 porters seem particularly confused since I'm not aware of any
microcontrollers that need to support 2TB filesystems.Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox

It's too easy for people to shoot themselves in the foot, and it
only makes sense for embedded folks anyway.Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

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.Signed-Off-By: David Howells

The help text says that if you select CONFIG_LBD, then it will automatically
select CONFIG_LFS. That isn't currently the case, so update the text.- Get rid of the cruft in the help text mentioning CONFIG_LBD
- Tell unsure users to select CONFIG_LFS.
- Remove the `default n'.

Add blkcnt_t as the type of inode.i_blocks. This enables you to make the size
of blkcnt_t either 4 bytes or 8 bytes on 32 bits architecture with CONFIG_LSF.- CONFIG_LSF
Add new configuration parameter.
- blkcnt_t
On h8300, i386, mips, powerpc, s390 and sh that define sector_t,
blkcnt_t is defined as u64 if CONFIG_LSF is enabled; otherwise it is
defined as unsigned long.
On other architectures, it is defined as unsigned long.
- inode.i_blocks
Change the type from sector_t to blkcnt_t.Signed-off-by: Takashi Sato
