      uml: kill big kernel lock · 9a181c58
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      Three uml device drivers still use the big kernel lock,
      but all of them can be safely converted to using
      a per-driver mutex instead. Most likely this is not
      even necessary, so after further review these can
      and should be removed as well.
      
      The exec system call no longer requires the BKL either,
      so remove it from there, too.

      ubd: fix incorrect sector handling during request restart · 47526903
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Commit f81f2f7c (ubd: drop unnecessary rq->sector manipulation)
      dropped request->sector manipulation in preparation for global request
      handling cleanup; unfortunately, it incorrectly assumed that the
      updated sector wasn't being used.
      
      ubd tries to issue as many requests as possible to io_thread.  When
      issuing fails due to memory pressure or other reasons, the device is
      put on the restart list and issuing stops.  On IO completion, devices
      on the restart list are scanned and IO issuing is restarted.
      
      ubd issues IOs sg-by-sg and issuing can be stopped in the middle of a
      request, so each device on the restart queue needs to remember where
      to restart in its current request.  ubd needs to keep track of the
      issue position itself because,
      
      * blk_rq_pos(req) is now updated by the block layer to keep track of
        _completion_ position.
      
      * Multiple io_req's for the current request may be in flight, so it's
        difficult to tell where blk_rq_pos(req) currently is.
      
      Add ubd->rq_pos to keep track of the issue position and use it to
      correctly restart io_req issue.

      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.

      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.

      uml: remove driver_data direct access of struct device · 8691b97b
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
      to the driver_data pointer in struct device.  Instead, the functions
      dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used.  These functions
      have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
      all older kernel versions.

      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.

      [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 */
