  • ce37ab42a   [MTD] Always initialise mutex in new mtd_blktrans_dev. ... Browse Code »

    We were only initialising the mutex in the case where the new device was
    automatically allocated the highest minor number. If the caller
    specified a minor number, or if it filled in a free slot which was made
    by a previous device deregistering, the mutex wouldn't get initialised
    when we jumped out of the loop.

  • 831441862   Freezer: make kernel threads nonfreezable by default ... Browse Code »
    13

    Currently, the freezer treats all tasks as freezable, except for the kernel
    threads that explicitly set the PF_NOFREEZE flag for themselves. This
    approach is problematic, since it requires every kernel thread to either
    set PF_NOFREEZE explicitly, or call try_to_freeze(), even if it doesn't
    care for the freezing of tasks at all.

    It seems better to only require the kernel threads that want to or need to
    be frozen to use some freezer-related code and to remove any
    freezer-related code from the other (nonfreezable) kernel threads, which is
    done in this patch.

    The patch causes all kernel threads to be nonfreezable by default (ie. to
    have PF_NOFREEZE set by default) and introduces the set_freezable()
    function that should be called by the freezable kernel threads in order to
    unset PF_NOFREEZE. It also makes all of the currently freezable kernel
    threads call set_freezable(), so it shouldn't cause any (intentional)
    change of behaviour to appear. Additionally, it updates documentation to
    describe the freezing of tasks more accurately.

  • 356d70f19   [MTD] mtdcore.c: share syms with mtd_blkdev.c ... Browse Code »

    Fix the sparse warnings generated by the implicit
    dependency of mtd_blkdevs.c and mtd_core.c for the
    two symbols mtd_table and mtd_table_mutex. This is
    done by adding an local header file mtdcore.h to
    define these (including the warning about the
    non-proliferation of these symbols).

    The mtd_blktrans_ops is not defined in any of the headers
    and is indeed not used elsewhere in the kernel, so mark it
    as static to reduce the warnings from sparse

    drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.c:204:32: warning: symbol 'mtd_blktrans_ops' was not declared. Should it be static?

    Ingo Molnar's semaphore to mutex conversions left some noise on a few
    trylock calls. Clean it up.

  • 9a2923082   [MTD] fix printk warning ... Browse Code »

    gcc spits out this warning:

    drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.c: In function ‘do_blktrans_request’:
    drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.c:72: warning: format ‘%ld’ expects type ‘long int’, but argument 2 has type ‘unsigned int’

    This could be fixed any number of ways, including use of BUG().
    rq_data_dir() only returns 0 or 1, so this entire case is superfluous.
    I did the most simple fix.

  • 4aff5e233   [PATCH] Split struct request ->flags into two parts ... Browse Code »

    Right now ->flags is a bit of a mess: some are request types, and
    others are just modifiers. Clean this up by splitting it into
    ->cmd_type and ->cmd_flags. This allows introduction of generic
    Linux block message types, useful for sending generic Linux commands
    to block devices.

    Semaphore to mutex conversion.

    automatically via a script as well.

  • a885c8c43   [PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method ... Browse Code »

    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.

    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!
