      [PATCH] switch dasd · 57a7c0bc
      Al Viro 提交于
      ->compat_ioctl() actually had been useless here; generic
      logics works fine.

      [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 */

      [SCSI] block: separate failfast into multiple bits. · 6000a368
      Mike Christie 提交于
      Multipath is best at handling transport errors. If it gets a device
      error then there is not much the multipath layer can do. It will just
      access the same device but from a different path.
      
      This patch breaks up failfast into device, transport and driver errors.
      The multipath layers (md and dm mutlipath) only ask the lower levels to
      fast fail transport errors. The user of failfast, read ahead, will ask
      to fast fail on all errors.
      
      Note that blk_noretry_request will return true if any failfast bit
      is set. This allows drivers that do not support the multipath failfast
      bits to continue to fail on any failfast error like before. Drivers
      like scsi that are able to fail fast specific errors can check
      for the specific fail fast type. In the next patch I will convert
      scsi.

      block: don't depend on consecutive minor space · f331c029
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      * Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly
        access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor.
      
        Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of
        block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as
        ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the
        disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary.  However,
        convert them for consistency.
      
      * Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing
        genhd->minors.
      
      * Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor
        space.
      
      * Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it
        the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).
      
      These changes clean up the code and will help disk->part dereference
      fix and extended block device numbers.
