  • The EXTRA_CFLAGS assignment in memstick/Makefile was not accomplishing
    anything because this flag only has effect on sources at the same level
    as the makefile (i.e., per directory). Since both core/ and host/ rely
    on MEMSTICK_DEBUG, the subdir-ccflags-y variant seems to be the
    appropriate choice.

  • There are two spellings in use for 'freeze' + 'able' - 'freezable' and
    'freezeable'. The former is the more prominent one. The latter is
    mostly used by workqueue and in a few other odd places. Unify the
    spelling to 'freezable'.

  • The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel
    calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers
    were already using the BKL before.

    This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
    Still need to check whether this is safe to do.

    file=$1
    name=$2
    if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then
    if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then

  • 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.

  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
    block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
    With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The
    sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
    512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
    and the logical ditto.

    This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

  • Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
    A request is always acquired from the request queue via
    elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
    or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
    to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.

    Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
    allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
    segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
    benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
    ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
    old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
    difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
    and its more modern users.

    Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
    model. This patch completes the API transition by...

    * renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()

    * renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()

    * adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start

    * disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests

    * applying new API to all LLDs

    Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
    it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

    [ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

  • plat-omap/mailbox, floppy, viocd, mspro_block, i2o_block and
    mmc/card/queue are already pretty close to dequeueing model and can be
    converted with simple changes. Convert them.

    While at it,

    * xen-blkfront: !fs check moved downwards to share dequeue call with
    normal path.

    * mspro_block: __blk_end_request(..., blk_rq_cur_byte()) converted to

    directly manipulates request fields. This means that the 'hard'

  • There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with
    full request length and expect full completion. Many of them ensure
    that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return
    value, which is awkward and error-prone.

    This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
    and fully completes the request. BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
    this actually happens.

    Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.

    * cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
    __blk_end_request_all().

    * s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
    __blk_end_request_all().

    * s390/char/tape_block: tapeblock_end_request() replaced with direct
    calls to blk_end_request_all().

  • To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
    to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
    1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
    prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
    2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
    are converted in this series.
    3) kill the old (renamed) methods.

    Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
    end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
    we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
    debugging if anything goes wrong.

    New methods:
    open(bdev, mode)
    release(disk, mode)
    ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */
    compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
    locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */

  • Tejun's commit 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 made sysfs
    attribute->owner unnecessary. But the field was left in the structure to
    ease the merge. It's been over a year since that change and it is now
    time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
    a time!

    This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
    CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 . We will deal with other arches later on
    as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
    can test. Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
    and boot tested.

    akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
    `#ifndef CONFIG_X86'. But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
    new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

  • * Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly
    access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor.

    Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of
    block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as
    ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the
    disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary. However,
    convert them for consistency.

    * Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing
    genhd->minors.

    * Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor
    space.

    * Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it
    the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).

    These changes clean up the code and will help disk->part dereference
    fix and extended block device numbers.

  • - 8-bit interface mode never worked properly. The only adapter I have
    which supports the 8b mode (the Jmicron) had some problems with its
    clock wiring and they discovered it only now. We also discovered that
    ProHG media is more sensitive to the ordering of initialization
    commands.

    - Make the driver fall back to highest supported mode instead of always
    falling back to serial. The driver will attempt the switch to 8b mode
    for any new MSPro card, but not all of them support it. Previously,
    these new cards ended up in serial mode, which is not the best idea
    (they work fine with 4b, after all).
