      Kconfig: clean up block/Kconfig help descriptions · ee86418d
      Nick Andrew 提交于
      Modify the help descriptions of block/Kconfig for clarity, accuracy and
      consistency.
      
      Refactor the BLOCK description a bit.  The wording "This permits ...  to be
      removed" isn't quite right; the block layer is removed when the option is
      disabled, whereas most descriptions talk about what happens when the option is
      enabled.  Reformat the list of what is affected by disabling the block layer.
      
      Add more examples of large block devices to LBD and strive for technical
      accuracy; block devices of size _exactly_ 2TB require CONFIG_LBD, not only
      "bigger than 2TB".  Also try to say (perhaps not very clearly) that the config
      option is only needed when you want to have individual block devices of size
      >= 2TB, for example if you had 3 x 1TB disks in your computer you'd have a
      total storage size of 3TB but you wouldn't need the option unless you want to
      aggregate those disks into a RAID or LVM.
      
      Improve terminology and grammar on BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE.
      
      I also added the boilerplate "If unsure, say N" to most options.
      
      Precisely say "2TB and larger" for LSF.
      
      Indent the help text for BLK_DEV_BSG by 2 spaces in accordance with the
      standard.

      bsg: Fix build for CONFIG_BLOCK=n · 4d5d8e9d
      Paul Mundt 提交于
      BLK_DEV_BSG was added outside of the if BLOCK check, which allows it to
      be enabled when CONFIG_BLOCK=n. This leads to many screenlengths of
      errors, starting with a parse error on the request_queue_t definition.
      Obviously this wasn't intended for CONFIG_BLOCK=n usage, so just move the
      option back in to the block.
      
      Caught with a randconfig on sh.

      [PATCH] Only enable CONFIG_BLOCK option for embedded · 51d7513a
      Jens Axboe 提交于
      It's too easy for people to shoot themselves in the foot, and it
      only makes sense for embedded folks anyway.

      [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6] · 9361401e
      David Howells 提交于
      Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
      it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
      the block layer to be present.
      
      This patch does the following:
      
       (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
           support.
      
       (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
           an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:
      
           (*) Block I/O tracing.
      
           (*) Disk partition code.
      
           (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.
      
           (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
           	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
           	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.
      
           (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
           	 drivers.
      
           (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.
      
           (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
           	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.
      
       (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
           linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
           however, still used in places, and so is still available.
      
       (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
           parts of linux/fs.h.
      
       (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
           is not enabled.
      
       (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
           required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:
      
           (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).
      
       (*) Makes some /proc changes:
      
           (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.
      
           (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
      
       (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
           given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.
      
       (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.
      
       (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
           error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).
      
       (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
           CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.
