Add CONFIG_IDE_PROC_FS (CONFIG_SCSI_PROC_FS rip-off) config option, disabling it makes IDE driver ~5 kB smaller (on x86-32).

Since hwif->ide_dma_check and hwif->ide_dma_on never queue any commands (ide_config_drive_speed() sets transfer mode using polling and has no error recovery) we are safe with setting hwgroup->busy for the time while DMA setting for a drive is changed (so it won't race against I/O commands in fly). I audited briefly all ->ide_dma_check/->ide_dma_on/->tuneproc/->speedproc implementations and they all look OK wrt to this change. This patch finally allowed me to close kernel bugzilla bug #8169 (once again thanks to Patrick Horn for reporting the issue & testing patches).

All modern distributions have been setting these options to "y" for ages. (additionally "n" cases have been obsoleted for few years). Therefore use DMA by default and remove CONFIG_IDEDMA_{ICS,PCI}_AUTO (also remove no longer needed CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO). This fixes DMA support for rare configurations where CONFIG_IDEDMA_{ICS,PCI}_AUTO was set to "n" but "hdparm -d 1" was used to enable DMA support and which were forced to PIO mode by "ide: don't allow DMA to be enabled if CONFIG_IDEDMA_{ICS,PCI}_AUTO=n" patch. There is no functionality loss because "ide=nodma" kernel option is still available.

由 Hannes Reinecke 提交于
This patch implements ACPI integration for generic IDE devices. The ACPI spec mandates that some methods are called during suspend and resume. And consequently there most modern Laptops cannot resume properly without it. According to the spec, we should call '_GTM' (Get Timing) upon suspend to store the current IDE adapter settings. Upon resume we should call '_STM' (Set Timing) to initialize the adapter with the stored settings; afterwards '_GTF' (Get Taskfile) should be called which returns a buffer with some IDE initialisation commands. Those commands should be passed to the drive. There are two module params which control the behaviour of this patch: 'ide=noacpi' Do not call any ACPI methods (Disables any ACPI method calls) 'ide=acpigtf' Enable execution of _GTF methods upon resume. Has no effect if 'ide=noacpi' is set. 'ide=acpionboot' Enable execution of ACPI methods during boot. This might be required on some machines if 'ide=acpigtf' is selected as some machines modify the _GTF information depending on the drive identification passed down with _STM.

This patch stops CompactFlash devices being marked as removable. They are not removable (as defined by Linux) as the media and device are inseparable. When a card is removed, the whole device is removed from the system and never sits in a media-less state. This stops some nasty udev device creation/destruction loops. Further, once this change is made, there is no need for ide to can be removed from ide_drive_t.

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.

IDE: MODALIAS support for autoloading of ide-cd, ide-disk, ... Add MODULE_ALIAS to IDE midlayer modules: ide-disk, ide-cd, ide-floppy and ide-tape, to autoload these modules depending on the probed media type of the IDE device. It is used by udev and replaces the former agent shell script of the hotplug package, which was required to lookup the media type in the proc filesystem. Using proc was racy, cause the media file is created after the hotplug event is sent out. The module autoloading does not take any effect, until something like the following udev rule is configured: SUBSYSTEM=="ide", ACTION=="add", ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $env{MODALIAS}" The module ide-scsi will not be autoloaded, cause it requires manual configuration. It can't be, and never was supported for automatic setup in the hotplug package. Adding a MODULE_ALIAS to ide-scsi for all supported media types, would just lead to a default blacklist entry anyway. $ modinfo ide-disk filename: /lib/modules/2.6.15-rc4-g1b0997f5/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko description: ATA DISK Driver alias: ide:*m-disk* license: GPL ... $ modprobe -vn ide:m-disk insmod /lib/modules/2.6.15-rc4-g1b0997f5/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko $ cat /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/modalias ide:m-disk It also adds attributes to the IDE device: $ tree /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/ /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/ |-- bus -> ../../../../../../../bus/ide |-- drivename |-- media |-- modalias |-- power | |-- state | `-- wakeup `-- uevent $ cat /sys/bus/ide/devices/0.0/{modalias,drivename,media} ide:m-disk hda disk Signed-off-by: NKay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: NGreg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
