      xen/blkfront: fix warning when deleting gendisk on unplug/shutdown · 31a14400
      Ian Campbell 提交于
      Currently blkfront gives a warning when hot unplugging due to calling
      del_gendisk() with interrupts disabled (due to blkif_io_lock).

      We can fix this by calling del_gendisk() later in blkfront_closing, after
      releasing blkif_io_lock. Since the queue is stopped during the interrupts
      disabled phase I don't think there is any danger of an event occuring between
      releasing the blkif_io_lock and deleting the disk.

      xen/blkfront: allow xenbus state transition to Closing->Closed when not Connected · 28afea5b
      Ian Campbell 提交于
      This situation can occur when attempting to attach a block device whose
      backend is an empty physical CD-ROM driver. The backend in this case
      will go directly from the Initialising state to Closing->Closed.
      Previously this would result in a NULL pointer deref on info->gd
      (xenbus_dev_fatal does not return as a1a15ac5 seems to expect)

      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.

      There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with

      that the request actually completes by doing BUG_ON() the return
      value, which is awkward and error-prone.
      
      This patch adds [__]blk_end_request_all() which takes @rq and @error
      and fully completes the request.  BUG_ON() is added to to ensure that
      this actually happens.
      
      Most conversions are simple but there are a few noteworthy ones.

      [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 */

      block: Expand Xen blkfront for > 16 xvd · 9246b5f0
      Chris Lalancette 提交于
      Until recently, the maximum number of xvd block devices you could attach
      to a Xen domU was 16. This limitation turned out to be problematic for
      some users, so it was expanded to handle a much larger number of disks.
      However, this requires a couple of changes in the way that blkfront
      scans for disks. This functionality is already present in the Xen
      linux-2.6.18-xen.hg tree; the attached patch adds this functionality to
      the mainline xen-blkfront implementation. I successfully tested it on a
      2.6.25 tree, and build tested it on 2.6.27-rc3.
