      block: remove REQ_HARDBARRIER · 02e031cb
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers.  What's left
      at this point is:
      
       - various checks inside the block layer.
       - sanity checks in bio based drivers.
       - now unused bio_empty_barrier helper.
       - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while,
         but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton.
       - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi
         drivers.
       - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been
         removed when flushes were converted to FS requests.
       - blktrace handling of barriers - removed.  Someone who knows blktrace
         better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though.

      block: push down BKL into .open and .release · 6e9624b8
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The open and release block_device_operations are currently
      called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
      first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
      on this have no regressions.
      
      This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
      operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
      next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
      with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
      be shown that it is not needed.
      
      The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
      remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
      layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
      of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.
      
      Most of these two functions is also under the protection
      of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
      ->open and ->release, and the common code does not
      access any global data structures that need the BKL.

      block: unify flags for struct bio and struct request · 7b6d91da
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      Remove the current bio flags and reuse the request flags for the bio, too.
      This allows to more easily trace the type of I/O from the filesystem
      down to the block driver.  There were two flags in the bio that were
      missing in the requests:  BIO_RW_UNPLUG and BIO_RW_AHEAD.  Also I've
      renamed two request flags that had a superflous RW in them.
      
      Note that the flags are in bio.h despite having the REQ_ name - as
      blkdev.h includes bio.h that is the only way to go for now.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      (Better would be real barrier support, something that Ed says he'll add

      [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 */

      x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attribute · 01e8ef11
      Parag Warudkar 提交于
      Tejun's commit 7b595756 made sysfs
      attribute->owner unnecessary.  But the field was left in the structure to
      ease the merge.  It's been over a year since that change and it is now
      time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
      a time!
      
      This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
      CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 .  We will deal with other arches later on
      as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
      can test.  Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
      and boot tested.
      
      akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
      `#ifndef CONFIG_X86'.  But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
      new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.
