  • The patch changes semaphores that are initialized as
    locked to complete().

    Source: MontaVista Software, Inc.

    Modified-by: Steven Rostedt

    The following patch is from Montavista. I modified it slightly.
    Semaphores are currently being used where it makes more sense for
    completions. This patch corrects that.

  • HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to
    duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting
    the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a
    ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many
    drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now.

    [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start
    to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts
    the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard
    sector size.

  • IDE: MODALIAS support for autoloading of ide-cd, ide-disk, ...

    Add MODULE_ALIAS to IDE midlayer modules: ide-disk, ide-cd, ide-floppy and
    ide-tape, to autoload these modules depending on the probed media type of
    the IDE device.

    It is used by udev and replaces the former agent shell script of the hotplug
    package, which was required to lookup the media type in the proc filesystem.
    Using proc was racy, cause the media file is created after the hotplug event
    is sent out.

    The module autoloading does not take any effect, until something like the
    following udev rule is configured:
    SUBSYSTEM=="ide", ACTION=="add", ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $env{MODALIAS}"

    The module ide-scsi will not be autoloaded, cause it requires manual
    configuration. It can't be, and never was supported for automatic setup in
    the hotplug package. Adding a MODULE_ALIAS to ide-scsi for all supported
    media types, would just lead to a default blacklist entry anyway.

    $ modinfo ide-disk
    filename: /lib/modules/2.6.15-rc4-g1b0997f5/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko
    description: ATA DISK Driver
    alias: ide:*m-disk*
    license: GPL
    ...

    $ modprobe -vn ide:m-disk
    insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-rc4-g1b0997f5/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko

    $ cat /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/modalias
    ide:m-disk

    It also adds attributes to the IDE device:
    $ tree /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/
    /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/
    |-- bus -> ../../../../../../../bus/ide
    |-- drivename
    |-- media
    |-- modalias
    |-- power
    | |-- state
    | `-- wakeup
    `-- uevent

    $ cat /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/{modalias,drivename,media}
    ide:m-disk
    hda
    disk

  • Devices driven by ide-cs will appear under /sys/devices instead of the
    appropriate PCMCIA device. To fix this I had to extend the hw_regs_t
    structure with a 'struct device' field, which allows us to set the
    parent link for the appropriate hwif.

  • This adds type-checking to pm_message_t, so that people can't confuse it
    with int or u32. It also allows us to fix "disk yoyo" during suspend (disk
    spinning down/up/down).

    [We've tried that before; since that cpufreq problems were fixed and I've
    tried make allyes config and fixed resulting damage.]

  • 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!
