The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.Reviewed-by: Ingo Molnar

8f6205cd572fece673da0255d74843680f67f879 introduced a bug where a
timed out DMA request is never requeued and lost.
6072f7491f5ef391a575e18a1165e72a3eef1601 fixed this by making
ide_dma_timeout_retry() requeue the request itself. While the fix is
correct, it makes DMA and non-DMA paths asymmetric regarding how the
in flight request is requeued.As long as hwif->rq is set, the IDE driver is assuming ownership of
the request and the request should either be completed or requeued
when clearing hwif->rq. In the timeout path, the ide driver holds
onto the request as long as the recovery action (ie. reset) is in
progress and clears it after the state machine is stopped (ide_stopped
return), so the existing requeueing logic is correct. The bug
occurred because ide_dma_timeout_retry() explicitly clears hwif->rq
without requeueing it.ide_dma_timeout_retry() is called only by ide_timer_expiry() and
returns ide_started only when ide_error() would return it - ie. after
reset state machine has started in which case the state machine will
eventually end up executing the ide_stopped path in ide_timer_expiry()
after reset protocol is complete. So, there is no need to clear
hwif->rq from ide_dma_timeout_retry(). ide_timer_expiry() will handle
it the same way as PIO timeout path.Kill hwif->rq clearing and requeueing from ide_dma_timeout_retry() and
let ide_timer_expiry() deal with it. The end result should remain the
same.grepping shows ide_dma_timeout_retry() is the only site which clears
hwif->rq without taking care of the request, so there shouldn't be
similar fallouts.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

All file_operations should get a .llseek operation so we can make
nonseekable_open the default for future file operations without a
.llseek pointer.The three cases that we can automatically detect are no_llseek, seq_lseek
and default_llseek. For cases where we can we can automatically prove that
the file offset is always ignored, we use noop_llseek, which maintains
the current behavior of not returning an error from a seek.New drivers should normally not use noop_llseek but instead use no_llseek
and call nonseekable_open at open time. Existing drivers can be converted
to do the same when the maintainer knows for certain that no user code
relies on calling seek on the device file.The generated code is often incorrectly indented and right now contains
comments that clarify for each added line why a specific variant was
chosen. In the version that gets submitted upstream, the comments will
be gone and I will manually fix the indentation, because there does not
seem to be a way to do that using coccinelle.Some amount of new code is currently sitting in linux-next that should get
the same modifications, which I will do at the end of the merge window.Many thanks to Julia Lawall for helping me learn to write a semantic
patch that does all this.===== begin semantic patch =====

What's worse than no comment? A wrong comment.
Several PCMCIA device drivers contained the same comments, which
were based on how the PCMCIA subsystem worked in the old days of 2.4.,
and which were originally part of a "dummy_cs" driver. These comments
no longer matched at all what is happening now, and therefore should
be removed.Tested-by: Wolfram Sang

Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA
requests. Deprecate barrier. All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with
-EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler
blk_queue_flush().blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a
device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If
the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA.All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted.

ide_cd_error_cmd() can complete an erroneous request with leftover
buffers. Signal this with its return value so that the request is not
accessed after its completion in the irq handler and we oops.Cc: # 32.x 33.x 34.x

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.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

As a preparation for the removal of the big kernel
lock in the block layer, this removes the BKL
from the common ioctl handling code, moving it
into every single driver still using it.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
down to the block driver. There were two flags in the bio that were
missing in the requests: BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD. Also I've
renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Remove all the trivial wrappers for the cmd_type and cmd_flags fields in
struct requests. This allows much easier grepping for different request
types instead of unwinding through macros.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

Instead of io_req_t, drivers are now requested to fill out
struct pcmcia_device *p_dev->resource[0,1] for up to two ioport
ranges. After a call to pcmcia_request_io(), the ports found there
are reserved, after calling pcmcia_request_configuration(), they may
be used.CC: netdev@vger.kernel.org
