      block: add rq->resid_len · c3a4d78c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue
      and the residual count on completion.  This duality creates some
      headaches.
      
      First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine
      what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing.  It could be
      the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the
      lower layers is using to keep track of residual count.  This
      complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
      [__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
      Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
      total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
      request with the cached data length.
      
      Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
      ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred.  The residual count is
      an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
      rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
      alone means no data transfer occurred at all.  This reverse default
      behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
      drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.
      
      This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.
      
      While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
      ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.
      
      Boaz	: spotted missing conversion in osd
      Sergei	: spotted too early conversion to blk_rq_bytes() in ide-tape
      
      [ Impact: cleanup residual count handling, report 0 resid by default ]

      sysfs: add parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in .read/.write methods for sysfs binary attributes · 91a69029
      Zhang Rui 提交于
      Well, first of all, I don't want to change so many files either.
      
      What I do:
      Adding a new parameter "struct bin_attribute *" in the
      .read/.write methods for the sysfs binary attributes.
      
      In fact, only the four lines change in fs/sysfs/bin.c and
      include/linux/sysfs.h do the real work.
      But I have to update all the files that use binary attributes
      to make them compatible with the new .read and .write methods.
      I'm not sure if I missed any. :(
      
      Why I do this:
      For a sysfs attribute, we can get a pointer pointing to the
      struct attribute in the .show/.store method,
      while we can't do this for the binary attributes.
      I don't know why this is different, but this does make it not
      so handy to use the binary attributes as the regular ones.
      So I think this patch is reasonable. :)
      
      Who benefits from it:
      The patch that exposes ACPI tables in sysfs
      requires such an improvement.
      All the table binary attributes share the same .read method.
      Parameter "struct bin_attribute *" is used to get
      the table signature and instance number which are used to
      distinguish different ACPI table binary attributes.
      
      Without this parameter, we need to offer different .read methods
      for different ACPI table binary attributes.
      This is impossible as there are various ACPI tables on different
      platforms, and we don't know what they are until they are loaded.

      sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner · 7b595756
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game.  After
      deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper,
      so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners.  Note that
      often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to
      accessing removed modules.
      
      This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner.  Note that with
      this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the
      backing module from being unloaded.
      
      For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the
      following message.

      PCI: Cleanup the includes of <linux/pci.h> · 6473d160
      Jean Delvare 提交于
      I noticed that many source files include <linux/pci.h> while they do
      not appear to need it. Here is an attempt to clean it all up.
      
      In order to find all possibly affected files, I searched for all
      files including <linux/pci.h> but without any other occurence of "pci"
      or "PCI". I removed the include statement from all of these, then I
      compiled an allmodconfig kernel on both i386 and x86_64 and fixed the
      false positives manually.
      
      My tests covered 66% of the affected files, so there could be false
      positives remaining. Untested files are:

      I would welcome test reports for these files. I am fine with removing
      the untested files from the patch if the general opinion is that these
      changes aren't safe. The tested part would still be nice to have.
      
      Note that this patch depends on another header fixup patch I submitted
      to LKML yesterday:

      [SCSI] libsas: Don't BUG when connecting two expanders via wide port · 423f7cf4
      Darrick J. Wong 提交于
      libsas: Don't BUG when connecting two expanders via wide port
      
      When a device is connected to an expander, the discovery process goes through
      sas_ex_discover_dev to figure out what's attached to the phy.  If it is the
      case that the phy being discovered happens to be the second phy of a wide link
      to an expander, that discover_dev function will incorrectly call
      sas_ex_discover_expander, which creates another sas_port and tries to attach the
      other sas_phys to the new port, thus triggering a BUG.  The correct thing to do is
      to check the other ex_phys of the expander to see if there's a sas_port for this
      sas_phy, and attach the sas_phy to the existing sas_port.
      
      This is easily triggered if one enables the phys of a wide port between
      expanders one by one.
      
      This second version of the patch fixes a small regression in the case where
      all the phys show up at once and we accidentally try to attach to a port
      that hasn't been created yet.

      [SCSI] libsas: Clean up discovery failure handler code · 6f63caae
      Darrick J. Wong 提交于
      sas_rphy_delete does two things: it removes the sas_rphy from the transport
      layer and frees the sas_rphy.  This can be broken down into two functions,
      sas_rphy_remove and sas_rphy_free; sas_rphy_remove is of interest to
      sas_discover_root_expander because it calls functions that require
      sas_rphy_add as a prerequisite and can fail (namely sas_discover_expander).
      In that case, sas_discover_root_expander needs to be able to undo the effects
      of sas_rphy_add yet leave the job of freeing the sas_rphy to the caller of
      sas_discover_root_expander.
      
      This patch also removes some unnecessary code from sas_discover_end_dev
      to eliminate an unnecessary cycle of sas_notify_lldd_gone/found for SAS
      devices, thus eliminating a sas_rphy_remove call (and fixing a race condition
      where a SCSI target scan can come in between the gone and found call).
      It also moves the sas_rphy_free calls into sas_discover_domain and
      sas_ex_discover_end_dev to complement the sas_rphy_allocation via
      sas_get_port_device.
      
      This patch does not change the semantics of sas_rphy_delete.
