This moves the block devices to /sys/class/block. It will create a
flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one
directory. For compatibility /sys/block is created and contains symlinks
to the disks.

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset.  We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset.  This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a

proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.

Revert all this.  It can cause device-mapper to receive a different major from
earlier kernels and it turns out that the Amanda backup program (via GNU tar,

Which is a bit broken of Amanda (or tar), but this feature isn't important

This patch provides fault-injection capability for disk IO.

Boot option:

fail_make_request=<probability>,<interval>,<space>,<times>

	<interval> -- specifies the interval of failures.

	<probability> -- specifies how often it should fail in percent.

	<space> -- specifies the size of free space where disk IO can be issued
		   safely in bytes.

	<times> -- specifies how many times failures may happen at most.

Debugfs:

/debug/fail_make_request/interval
/debug/fail_make_request/probability
/debug/fail_make_request/specifies
/debug/fail_make_request/times

Example:

	fail_make_request=10,100,0,-1
	echo 1 > /sys/blocks/hda/hda1/make-it-fail

generic_make_request() on /dev/hda1 fails once per 10 times.

This reverts commit 56cf6504.

Both Erik Mouw and Andrew Vasquez independently pinpointed this commit
as causing problems, where the slab cache for a driver is never released
(most obviously causing problems when immediately re-loading that
driver, resulting in a "kmem_cache_create: duplicate cache <xyz>"
message, but it can also cause other trouble).

James Bottomley dug into it, and reports:

  "OK, here's the scoop.  The problem patch adds a get of driverfs_dev in
   add_disk(), but doesn't put it again until disk_release() (which occurs
   on final put_disk() of the gendisk).

   However, in SCSI, the driverfs_dev is the sdev_gendev.  That means
   there's a reference held on sdev_gendev  until final disk put.
   Unfortunately, we use the driver model driver_remove to trigger
   del_gendisk (which removes the gendisk from visibility and decrements
   the refcount), so we've introduced an unbreakable deadlock in the
   reference counting with this.

   I suggest simply reversing this patch at the moment.  If Russell and
   Jens can tell me what they're trying to do I'll see if there's another
   way to do it."

so hereby the patch gets reverted, waiting for a better fix.

The block layer keeps a reference (driverfs_dev) to the struct
device associated with the block device, and uses it internally
for generating uevents in block_uevent.

Block device uevents include umounting the partition, which can
occur after the backing device has been removed.

Unfortunately, this reference is not counted.  This means that
if the struct device is removed from the device tree, the block
layers reference will become stale.

Guard against this by holding a reference to the struct device
in add_disk(), and only drop the reference when we're releasing
the gendisk kobject - in other words when we can be sure that no
further uevents will be generated for this block device.

Make baby-simple the code for /proc/devices.  Based on the proven design
for /proc/interrupts.

This also fixes the early-termination regression 2.6.16 introduced, as
demonstrated by:

    # dd if=/proc/devices bs=1
    Character devices:
      1 mem
    27+0 records in
    27+0 records out

This should also work (but is untested) when /proc/devices >4096 bytes,
which I believe is what the original 2.6.16 rewrite fixed.

The kernel's representation of the disk statistics uses the type unsigned
which is 32b on both 32b and 64b platforms.  Unfortunately, most system
tools that work with these numbers that are exported in /proc/diskstats
including iostat read these numbers into unsigned longs.  This works fine
on 32b platforms and when the number of IO transactions are small on 64b
platforms.  However, when the numbers wrap on 64b platforms & you read the
numbers into unsigned longs, and compare the numbers to previous readings,
then you get an unsigned representation of a negative number.  This looks
like a very large 64b number & gives you bizarre readouts in iostat:

ilc4: Device:    rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s    w/s  rsec/s  wsec/s    rkB/s wkB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz   await  svctm  %util
ilc4: sda        5.50   0.00   143.96 0.00 307496983987862656.00 0.00 153748491993931328.00     0.00 2136028725038430.00     7.94   55.12    5.59  80.42

Though fixing iostat in user space is possible, and a quick survey
indicates that several other similar tools also use unsigned longs when
processing /proc/diskstats.  Therefore, it seems like a better approach
would be to extend the length of the disk_stats structure on 64b
architectures to 64b.  The following patch does that.  It should not affect
the operation on 32b platforms.
