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. Signed-off-by: NMartin K.

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size and the logical ditto. This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size. Signed-off-by: NMartin K.

Though one can specify '-d /dev/sda1' when using blktrace, it still traces the whole sda. To support per-partition tracing, when we start tracing, we initialize bt->start_lba and bt->end_lba to the start and end sector of that partition. Note some actions are per device, thus we don't filter 0-sector events.

Update FMODE_NDELAY before each ioctl call so that we can kill the magic FMODE_NDELAY_NOW. It would be even better to do this directly in setfl(), but for that we'd need to have FMODE_NDELAY for all files, not just block special files.

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 */ Signed-off-by: NAl Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

We may well want mkfs tools to use this to mark the whole device as unwanted before they format it, for example. The ioctl takes a pair of uint64_ts, which are start offset and length in _bytes_. Although at the moment it might make sense for them both to be in 512-byte sectors, I don't want to limit the ABI to that.

hdparm explicitely marks HDIO_[UNREGISTER,SCAN]_HWIF ioctls as DANGEROUS and given the number of bugs we can assume that there are no real users: * DMA has no chance of working because DMA resources are released by ide_unregister() and they are never allocated again. * Since ide_init_hwif_ports() is used for ->io_ports[] setup the ioctls don't work for almost all hosts with "non-standard" (== non ISA-like) layout of IDE taskfile registers (there is a lot of such host drivers). * ide_port_init_devices() is not called when probing IDE devices so: - drive->autotune is never set and IDE host/devices are not programmed for the correct PIO/DMA transfer modes (=> possible data corruption) - host specific I/O 32-bit and IRQ unmasking settings are not applied (=> possible data corruption) - host specific ->port_init_devs method is not called (=> no luck with ht6560b, qd65xx and opti621 host drivers) * ->rw_disk method is not preserved (=> no HPT3xxN chipsets support). * ->serialized flag is not preserved (=> possible data corruption when using icside, aec62xx (ATP850UF chipset), cmd640, cs5530, hpt366 (HPT3xxN chipsets), rz1000, sc1200, dtc2278 and ht6560b host drivers). * ->ack_intr method is not preserved (=> needed by ide-cris, buddha, gayle and macide host drivers). * ->sata_scr[] and sata_misc[] is cleared by ide_unregister() and it isn't initialized again (SiI3112 support needs them). * To issue an ioctl() there need to be at least one IDE device present in the system. * ->cable_detect method is not preserved + it is not called when probing IDE devices so cable detection is broken (however since DMA support is also broken it doesn't really matter ;-). * Some objects which may have already been freed in ide_unregister() are restored by ide_hwif_restore() (i.e. ->hwgroup). * ide_register_hw() may unregister unrelated IDE ports if free ide_hwifs[] slot cannot be found. * When IDE host drivers are modular unregistered port may be re-used by different host driver that owned it first causing subtle bugs. Since we now have a proper warm-plug support remove these ioctls, then remove no longer needed: - ide_register_hw() and ide_hwif_restore() functions - 'init_default' and 'restore' arguments of ide_unregister() - zeroeing of hwif->{dma,extra}_* fields in ide_unregister() As an added bonus IDE core code size shrinks by ~3kB (x86-32). v2: * fix ide_unregister() arguments in cleanup_module() (Andrew Morton). v3: * fix ide_unregister() arguments in palm_bk3710.c.

Since the SCSI layer uses the request queues from the block layer, blktrace can also be used to trace the requests to all SCSI devices (like SCSI tape drives), not only disks. The only missing part is the ioctl interface to start and stop tracing. This patch adds the SETUP, START, STOP and TEARDOWN ioctls from blktrace to the sg device files. With this change, blktrace can be used for SCSI devices like for disks, e.g.: blktrace -d /dev/sg1 -o - | blkparse -i - Signed-off-by: NChristof Schmitt <christof.schmitt@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NJens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
