    Annotate BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION's bd_mutex locking and add a little comment
    clarifying the bd_mutex locking, because I confused myself and initially
    thought the lock order was wrong too.

  • d18d7682c   [PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute. ... Browse Code »

    Some partitioning systems create special partitions that
    span the entire disk. One example are Sun partitions, and
    this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the
    extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block
    and do other things.

    Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions,
    because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one.
    So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which
    we do not want. udev and friends can thus search for this
    'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the
    partition.

    Export blkdev_driver_ioctl for device-mapper.

    If we get as far as the device-mapper ioctl handler, we know the ioctl is not
    a standard block layer BLK* one, so we don't need to check for them a second
    time and can call blkdev_driver_ioctl() directly.

    Semaphore to mutex conversion.

    The conversion was generated via scripts, and the result was validated
    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.
