      [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.

      [SCSI] SCSI and FC Transport: add netlink support for posting of transport events · 84314fd4
      James Smart 提交于
      This patch formally adds support for the posting of FC events via netlink.
      It is a followup to the original RFC at:
        http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=114530667923464&w=2
      and the initial posting at:
        http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115507374832500&w=2
      
      The patch has been updated to optimize the send path, per the discussions
      in the initial posting.
      
      Per discussions at the Storage Summit and at OLS, we are to use netlink for
      async events from transports. Also per discussions, to avoid a netlink
      protocol per transport, I've create a single NETLINK_SCSITRANSPORT protocol,
      which can then be used by all transports.
      
      This patch:
      - Creates new files scsi_netlink.c and scsi_netlink.h, which contains the
        single and shared definitions for the SCSI Transport. It is tied into the
        base SCSI subsystem intialization.
        Contains a single interface routine, scsi_send_transport_event(), for a
        transport to send an event (via multicast to a protocol specific group).
      - Creates a new scsi_netlink_fc.h file, which contains the FC netlink event
        messages
      - Adds 3 new routines to the fc transport:
         fc_get_event_number() -  to get a FC event #
         fc_host_post_event()  -  to send a simple FC event (32 bits of data)
         fc_host_post_vendor_event() - to send a Vendor unique event, with
                                       arbitrary amounts of data.
      
         Note: the separation of event number allows for a LLD to send a standard
           event, followed by vendor-specific data for the event.
      
      Note: This patch assumes 2 prior fc transport patches have been installed:
         http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115555807316329&w=2
         http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=115581614930261&w=2
      
         Sorry - next time I'll do something like making these individual
         patches of the same posting when I know they'll be posted closely
         together.

      [SCSI] SAS transport class · c7ebbbce
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      The SAS transport class contains common code to deal with SAS HBAs, an
      aproximated representation of SAS topologies in the driver model,
      and various sysfs attributes to expose these topologies and managment
      interfaces to userspace.
      
      In addition to the basic SCSI core objects this transport class introduces
      two additional intermediate objects:  The SAS PHY as represented by struct
      sas_phy defines an "outgoing" PHY on a SAS HBA or Expander, and the SAS
      remote PHY represented by struct sas_rphy defines an "incoming" PHY on a
      SAS Expander or end device.  Note that this is purely a software concept, the
      underlying hardware for a PHY and a remote PHY is the exactly the same.
      
      There is no concept of a SAS port in this code, users can see what PHYs
      form a wide port based on the port_identifier attribute, which is the same
      for all PHYs in a port.
      
      This submission doesn't handle hot-plug addition or removal of SAS devices
      and thus doesn't do scanning in a workqueue yet, that will be added in
      phase2 after this submission.  In a third phase I will add additional
      managment infrastructure.
      
      I think this submission is ready for 2.6.14, but additional comments are
      of course very welcome.
      
      I'd like to thanks James Smart a lot for his very useful input on the
      design.

      [SCSI] embryonic RAID class · 61a7afa2
      James Bottomley 提交于
      The idea behind a RAID class is to provide a uniform interface to all
      RAID subsystems (both hardware and software) in the kernel.
      
      To do that, I've made this class a transport class that's entirely
      subsystem independent (although the matching routines have to match per
      subsystem, as you'll see looking at the code).  I put it in the scsi
      subdirectory purely because I needed somewhere to play with it, but it's
      not a scsi specific module.
      
      I used a fusion raid card as the test bed for this; with that kind of
      card, this is the type of class output you get:
      
      jejb@titanic> ls -l /sys/class/raid_devices/20\:0\:0\:0/
      total 0
      lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     0 Aug 16 17:21 component-0 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:1:0/20:1:0:0/
      lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     0 Aug 16 17:21 component-1 -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:1:1/20:1:1:0/
      lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root     0 Aug 16 17:21 device -> ../../../devices/pci0000:80/0000:80:04.0/host20/target20:0:0/20:0:0:0/
      -r--r--r--  1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 level
      -r--r--r--  1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 resync
      -r--r--r--  1 root root 16384 Aug 16 17:21 state
      
      So it's really simple: for a SCSI device representing a hardware raid,
      it shows the raid level, the array state, the resync % complete (if the
      state is resyncing) and the underlying components of the RAID (these are
      exposed in fusion on the virtual channel 1).
      
      As you can see, this type of information can be exported by almost
      anything, including software raid.
      
      The more difficult trick, of course, is going to be getting it to
      perform configuration type actions with writable attributes.
