      s390/block: kill the big kernel lock · cfdb00a7
      Arnd Bergmann 提交于
      The dasd and dcssblk drivers gained the big
      kernel lock in the recent pushdown from the
      block layer, but they don't really need it,
      so remove the calls without a replacement.

      [S390] dasd: fix race between tasklet and dasd_sleep_on · 1c1e093c
      Stefan Weinhuber 提交于
      The various dasd_sleep_on functions use a global wait queue when
      waiting for a cqr. The wait condition checks the status and devlist
      fields of the cqr to determine if it is safe to continue. This
      evaluation may return true, although the tasklet has not finished
      processing of the cqr and the callback function has not been called
      yet. When the callback is finally called, the data in the cqr may
      already be invalid. The sleep_on wait condition needs a safe way to
      determine if the tasklet has finished processing. Use the
      callback_data field of the cqr to store a token, which is set by
      the callback function itself.

      [S390] dasd: fix race condition in resume code · 6fca97a9
      Stefan Haberland 提交于
      There is a race while re-reading the device characteristics. After
      cleaning the memory area a cqr is build which reads the device
      characteristics. This may take a rather long time and the device
      characteristics structure is zero during this. Now it could be
      possible that the block tasklet starts working and a new cqr will be
      build. The build_cp command refers to the device characteristics
      structure and this may lead into a divide by zero exception.
      Fix this by re-reading the device characteristics into a temporary
      structur and copy the data to the original structure. Also take the
      ccwdev_lock.

      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.

      block: convert to pos and nr_sectors accessors · 83096ebf
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver
      directly manipulates request fields.  This means that the 'hard'
      request fields always equal the !hard fields.  Convert all
      rq->sectors, nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors references to
      accessors.
      
      While at it, drop superflous blk_rq_pos() < 0 test in swim.c.

      block: implement and use [__]blk_end_request_all() · 40cbbb78
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      There are many [__]blk_end_request() call sites which call it with
      full request length and expect full completion.  Many of them ensure
      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.
      
      * cdrom/viocd: viocd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
        __blk_end_request_all().
      
      * s390/block/dasd: dasd_end_request() replaced with direct calls to
        __blk_end_request_all().
      
      * s390/char/tape_block: tapeblock_end_request() replaced with direct

      [S390] dasd: fix race in dasd timer handling · 48cae885
      Stefan Weinhuber 提交于
      In dasd_device_set_timer and dasd_block_set_timer we interpret the
      return value of mod_timer in a wrong way. If the timer expires in
      the small window between our check of timer_pending and the call to
      mod_timer, then the timer will be set, mod_timer returns zero and
      we will call add_timer for a timer that is already pending.
      As del_timer and mod_timer do all the necessary checking themselves,
      we can simplify our code and remove the race a the same time.
