      block: allow disk to have extended device number · 3e1a7ff8
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Now that disk and partition handlings are mostly unified, it's easy to
      allow disk to have extended device number.  This patch makes
      add_disk() use extended device number if disk->minors is zero.  Both
      sd and ide-disk are updated to use this.
      
      * sd_format_disk_name() is implemented which can generically determine
        the drive name.  This removes disk number restriction stemming from
        limited device names.
      
      * If sd index goes over SD_MAX_DISKS (which can be increased now BTW),
        sd simply doesn't initialize minors letting block layer choose
        extended device number.
      
      * If CONFIG_DEBUG_EXT_DEVT is set, both sd and ide-disk always set
        minors to 0 and use extended device numbers.

      block: replace @ext_minors with GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT · 689d6fac
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      With previous changes, it's meaningless to limit the number of
      partitions.  Replace @ext_minors with GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT such that
      setting the flag allows the disk to have maximum number of allowed
      partitions (only limited by the number of entries in parsed_partitions
      as determined by MAX_PART constant).
      
      This kills not-too-pretty alloc_disk_ext[_node]() functions and makes
      @minors parameter to alloc_disk[_node]() unnecessary.  The parameter
      is left alone to avoid disturbing the users.

      Implement {disk|part}_to_dev() and use them to access generic device
      instead of directly dereferencing {disk|part}->dev.  To make sure no
      user is left behind, rename generic devices fields to __dev.
      
      This is in preparation of unifying partition 0 handling with other

      Extended devt introduces non-contiguos device numbers.  This patch
      implements a debug option which forces most devt allocations to be
      from the extended area and spreads them out.  This is enabled by
      default if DEBUG_KERNEL is set and achieves...
      
      1. Detects code paths in kernel or userland which expect predetermined
         consecutive device numbers.
      
      2. When something goes wrong, avoid corruption as adding to the minor
         of earlier partition won't lead to the wrong but valid device.

      sd/ide-disk: apply extended minors to sd and ide · f615b48c
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Update sd and ide-disk such that they can take advantage of extended
      minors.
      
      ide-disk already has 64 minors per device and currently doesn't use
      extended minors although after this patch it can be turned on by
      simply tweaking constants.
      
      sd only had 16 minors per device causing problems on certain peculiar
      configurations.  This patch lifts the restriction and enables it to
      use upto 64 minors.

      We still have life time issues with the sysfs command filter kobject,
      so disable it for 2.6.27 release. We can revisit this and make it work
      properly for 2.6.28, for 2.6.27 release it's too risky.

      ide: Fix pointer arithmetic in hpt3xx driver code (3rd try) · 62ff2ecf
      Masoud Sharbiani 提交于
      git commit 74811f35 causes crash at
      module load (or boot) time on my machine with a hpt374 controller.
      The reason for this is that for initializing second controller which sets
      (hwif->dev == host->dev[1]) to true (1), adds 1 to a void ptr, which
      advances it by one byte instead of advancing it by sizeof(hpt_info) bytes.
      Because of this, all initialization functions get corrupted data in info
      variable which causes a crash at boot time.
      
      This patch fixes that and makes my machine boot again.

      remove blk_register_filter and blk_unregister_filter in gendisk · bb23b431
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      This patch remove blk_register_filter and blk_unregister_filter in
      gendisk, and adds them to sd.c, sr.c. and ide-cd.c
      
      The commit abf54393 moved cmdfilter
      from gendisk to request_queue. It turned out that in some subsystems
      multiple gendisks share a single request_queue. So we get:

      In the long term, we need to fix such subsystems but we need a quick
      fix now. This patch add the command filter support to only sd and sr
      though it might be useful for other SG_IO users (such as cciss).
