      block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch · 9934c8c0
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
      A request is always acquired from the request queue via
      elv_next_request().  After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
      or process it without dequeueing.  Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
      to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
      
      Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
      allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
      segments only without considering request boundary.  However, the
      benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
      ambiguity is increasing.  Segment based drivers are usually for very
      old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
      difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
      and its more modern users.
      
      Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
      model.  This patch completes the API transition by...
      
      * renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
      
      * renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
      
      * adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
      
      * disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
      
      * applying new API to all LLDs
      
      Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
      it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

      With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver
      directly manipulates request fields.  This means that the 'hard'
      request fields always equal the !hard fields.  Convert all
      rq->sectors, nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors references to

      floppy: request and release only the ports we actually use · 5a74db06
      Philippe De Muyter 提交于
      The floppy driver requests an I/O port it doesn't need, and sometimes this
      causes a conflict with a motherboard device reported by PNPBIOS.
      
      This patch makes the floppy driver request and release only the ports it
      actually uses.  It also factors out the request/release stuff and the
      io-ports list so they're all in one place now.
      
      The current floppy driver uses only these ports:
      
          0x3f2 (FD_DOR)
          0x3f4 (FD_STATUS)
          0x3f5 (FD_DATA)
          0x3f7 (FD_DCR/FD_DIR)
      
      but it requests 0x3f2-0x3f5 and 0x3f7, which includes the unused port
      0x3f3.
      
      Some BIOSes report 0x3f3 as a motherboard resource.  The PNP system driver
      reserves that, which causes a conflict when the floppy driver requests
      0x3f2-0x3f5 later.
      
      Philippe reported that this conflict broke the floppy driver between
      2.6.11 and 2.6.22.  His PNPBIOS reports these devices:
      
          $ cat 00:07/id 00:07/resources	# motherboard device
          PNP0c02
          state = active
          io 0x80-0x80
          io 0x10-0x1f
          io 0x22-0x3f
          io 0x44-0x5f
          io 0x90-0x9f
          io 0xa2-0xbf
          io 0x3f0-0x3f1
          io 0x3f3-0x3f3
      
          $ cat 00:03/id 00:03/resources	# floppy device
          PNP0700
          state = active
          io 0x3f4-0x3f5
          io 0x3f2-0x3f2

      [PATCH] beginning of methods conversion · d4430d62
      Al Viro 提交于
      To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
      to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
      	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
      prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
      	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
      are converted in this series.
      	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
      
      Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
      end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
      we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
      debugging if anything goes wrong.
      
      New methods:
      	open(bdev, mode)
      	release(disk, mode)
      	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */
      	compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
      	locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)	/* Called with BKL, legacy */
