  • Introduce a wrapper around scsi_cmd_ioctl that takes a block device.

    The function will then be enhanced to detect partition block devices
    and, in that case, subject the ioctls to whitelisting.

  • module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
    fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
    trick.

    It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
    it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

  • The 'name', 'owner', and 'mod_name' members are redundant with the
    identically named fields in the 'driver' sub-structure. Rather than
    switching each instance to specify these fields explicitly, introduce
    a macro to simplify this.

    Eliminate further redundancy by allowing the drvname argument to
    DEFINE_XENBUS_DRIVER() to be blank (in which case the first entry from
    the ID table will be used for .driver.name).

    Also eliminate the questionable xenbus_register_{back,front}end()
    wrappers - their sole remaining purpose was the checking of the
    'owner' field, proper setting of which shouldn't be an issue anymore
    when the macro gets used.

  • The old PowerMac swim3 driver has some "interesting" locking issues,
    using a private lock and failing to lock the queue before completing
    requests, which triggered WARN_ONs among others.

    This rips out the private lock, makes everything operate under the
    block queue lock, and generally makes things simpler.

    We used to also share a queue between the two possible instances which
    was problematic since we might pick the wrong controller in some cases,
    so make the queue and the current request per-instance and use
    queuedata to point to our private data which is a lot cleaner.

    We still share the queue lock but then, it's nearly impossible to actually
    use 2 swim3's simultaneously: one would need to have a Wallstreet
    PowerBook, the only machine afaik with two of these on the motherboard,
    and populate both hotswap bays with a floppy drive (the machine ships
    only with one), so nobody cares...

    While at it, add a little fix to clear up stale interrupts when loading
    the driver or plugging a floppy drive in a bay.
