      block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT · dd3932ed
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous
      caller.  To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs
      to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous
      state machine ahead.  So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always
      specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags
      argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout.  For
      blkdev_issue_discard we need to keep it for the secure discard flag, which
      gains a more descriptive name and loses the bitops vs flag confusion.

      block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct · 6d1d8050
      Will Drewry 提交于
      I'm reposting this patch series as v4 since there have been no additional
      comments, and I cleaned up one extra bit of unneeded code (in 3/3). The patches
      are against Linus's tree: 2bfc96a1
      (2.6.36-rc3).
      
      Would this patchset be suitable for inclusion in an mm branch?
      
      This changes adds a partition_meta_info struct which itself contains a
      union of structures that provide partition table specific metadata.
      
      This change leaves the union empty. The subsequent patch includes an
      implementation for CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION-based metadata.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      block: Allow devices to indicate whether discarded blocks are zeroed · 98262f27
      Martin K. Petersen 提交于
      The discard ioctl is used by mkfs utilities to clear a block device
      prior to putting metadata down.  However, not all devices return zeroed
      blocks after a discard.  Some drives return stale data, potentially
      containing old superblocks.  It is therefore important to know whether
      discarded blocks are properly zeroed.
      
      Both ATA and SCSI drives have configuration bits that indicate whether
      zeroes are returned after a discard operation.  Implement a block level
      interface that allows this information to be bubbled up the stack and
      queried via a new block device ioctl.

      block: use blkdev_issue_discard in blk_ioctl_discard · 746cd1e7
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      blk_ioctl_discard duplicates large amounts of code from blkdev_issue_discard,
      the only difference between the two is that blkdev_issue_discard needs to
      send a barrier discard request and blk_ioctl_discard a non-barrier one,
      and blk_ioctl_discard needs to wait on the request.  To facilitates this
      add a flags argument to blkdev_issue_discard to control both aspects of the
      behaviour.  This will be very useful later on for using the waiting
      funcitonality for other callers.

      block: introduce partition 0 · b5d0b9df
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      genhd and partition code handled disk and partitions separately.  All
      information about the whole disk was in struct genhd and partitions in
      struct hd_struct.  However, the whole disk (part0) and other
      partitions have a lot in common and the data structures end up having
      good number of common fields and thus separate code paths doing the
      same thing.  Also, the partition array was indexed by partno - 1 which
      gets pretty confusing at times.
      
      This patch introduces partition 0 and makes the partition array
      indexed by partno.  Following patches will unify the handling of disk
      and parts piece-by-piece.
      
      This patch also implements disk_partitionable() which tests whether a
      disk is partitionable.  With coming dynamic partition array change,
      the most common usage of disk_max_parts() will be testing whether a
      disk is partitionable and the number of max partitions will become
      much less important.

      block: fix disk->part[] dereferencing race · e71bf0d0
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      disk->part[] is protected by its matching bdev's lock.  However,
      non-critical accesses like collecting stats and printing out sysfs and
      proc information used to be performed without any locking.  As
      partitions can come and go dynamically, partitions can go away
      underneath those non-critical accesses.  As some of those accesses are
      writes, this theoretically can lead to silent corruption.
      
      This patch fixes the race by using RCU for the partition array and dev
      reference counter to hold partitions.
      
      * Rename disk->part[] to disk->__part[] to make sure no one outside
        genhd layer proper accesses it directly.
      
      * Use RCU for disk->__part[] dereferencing.

        partitions from gendisk respectively.

        safely.

        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.

      [PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute. · d18d7682
      Fabio Massimo Di Nitto 提交于
      Some partitioning systems create special partitions that
      span the entire disk.  One example are Sun partitions, and
      this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the
      extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block
      and do other things.
      
      Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions,
      because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one.
      So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which
      we do not want.  udev and friends can thus search for this
      'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the
      partition.
