  • 165125e1e   [BLOCK] Get rid of request_queue_t typedef ... Browse Code »

    Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper
    struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of
    the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with
    the proper type.

    Fix soft lockup with iSeries viocd driver, caused by eventually calling
    end_that_request_first() with nr_bytes 0.

    Some versions of hald do an SG_IO ioctl on the viocd device which becomes a
    request with hard_nr_sectors and hard_cur_sectors set to zero. Passing zero
    as the number of sectors to end_request() (which calls
    end_that_request_first()) causes an infinite loop when the bio is being freed.

    This patch makes sure that the zero is never passed. It only requires some
    number larger the the request size the terminate the loop.

    The lockup is triggered by hald, interrogating the device.

  • 2b8693c06   [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 3 ... Browse Code »

    Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const
    moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential
    dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to
    these shared resources.

  • 6a2900b67   [PATCH] kill cdrom ->dev_ioctl method ... Browse Code »

    Since early 2.4.x all cdrom drivers implement the block_device methods
    themselves, so they can handle additional ioctls directly instead of going
    through the cdrom layer.

    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!
