      block: implement and use {disk|part}_to_dev() · ed9e1982
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Implement {disk|part}_to_dev() and use them to access generic device
      instead of directly dereferencing {disk|part}->dev.  To make sure no
      user is left behind, rename generic devices fields to __dev.
      
      This is in preparation of unifying partition 0 handling with other
      partitions.

      block: implement extended dev numbers · bcce3de1
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Implement extended device numbers.  A block driver can tell block
      layer that it wants to use extended device numbers.  After the usual
      minor space is used up, block layer automatically allocates devt's
      from EXT_BLOCK_MAJOR.
      
      Currently only one major number is allocated for this but as the
      allocation is strictly on-demand, ~1mil minor space under it should
      suffice unless the system actually has more than ~1mil partitions and
      if that ever happens adding more majors to the extended devt area is
      easy.
      
      Due to internal implementation issues, the first partition can't be
      allocated on the extended area.  In other words, genhd->minors should
      at least be 1.  This limitation will be lifted by later changes.

      block: fix diskstats access · c9959059
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
      underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
      disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters.  It's unclear
      whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
      entry as some callers don't do that.
      
      This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
      and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
      access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access).  diskstats access
      should always be enclosed between the two functions.  As such, there's
      no need for the versions which disables preemption.  They're removed
      and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars.  As an
      extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
      unconverted.
      
      disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
      diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
      argument to help RT.
      
      This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
      collapses several preemption ops into one at others.  Overall, the
      performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
      very lightweight per-cpu ones.

      block: fix disk->part[] dereferencing race · e71bf0d0
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      disk->part[] is protected by its matching bdev's lock.  However,
      non-critical accesses like collecting stats and printing out sysfs and
      proc information used to be performed without any locking.  As
      partitions can come and go dynamically, partitions can go away
      underneath those non-critical accesses.  As some of those accesses are
      writes, this theoretically can lead to silent corruption.
      
      This patch fixes the race by using RCU for the partition array and dev
      reference counter to hold partitions.
      
      * Rename disk->part[] to disk->__part[] to make sure no one outside
        genhd layer proper accesses it directly.
      
      * Use RCU for disk->__part[] dereferencing.
      
      * Implement disk_{get|put}_part() which can be used to get and put
        partitions from gendisk respectively.
      
      * Iterators are implemented to help iterate through all partitions
        safely.
      
      * Functions which require RCU readlock are marked with _rcu suffix.
      
      * Use disk_put_part() in __blkdev_put() instead of directly putting
        the contained kobject.

      * Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly

        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).

      Tejun Heo 提交于
      sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After

      [PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute. · d18d7682
      Fabio Massimo Di Nitto 提交于
      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.

      [PATCH] fix rescan_partitions to return errors properly · 5127d002
      Suzuki Kp 提交于
      The current rescan_partition implementation ignores the errors that comes from
      the lower layer.  It reports success for unknown partitions as well as I/O
      error cases while reading the partition information.
      
      The unknown partition is not (and will not be) considered as an error in the
      kernel, since there are legal users of it (e.g, members of a RAID5 MD Device
      or a new disk which is not partitioned at all ).  Changing this behaviour
      would scare the user about a serious problem with their disk and is not
      recommended.  Thus for both "unknown partitions" to the Linux (eg., DEC
      VMS,Novell Netware) and the legal users of NULL partition, would still be
      reported as "SUCCESS".
      
      The patch attached here, scares the user about something which he does need to
      worry about.  i.e, returning -EIO on disk I/O errors while reading the
      partition information.
