block: handle the null_mapped flag correctly in blk_rq_map_user_iov

2015-02-11T18:24:12Z

The tape drivers (and the sg driver in a special case that doesn't matter here) use the null_mapped flag to tell blk_rq_map_user to not copy around any data into or out of the bounce buffers. blk_rq_map_user_iov never got that treatment, which didn't matter until I refactored blk_rq_map_user to be implemented in terms of blk_rq_map_user_iov.

block: pass iov_iter to the BLOCK_PC mapping functions

2015-02-05T16:30:40Z

Make use of a new interface provided by iov_iter, backed by scatter-gather list of iovec, instead of the old interface based on sg_iovec. Also use iov_iter_advance() instead of manual iteration. This commit should contain only literal replacements, without functional changes. Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Doug Gilbert Cc: "James E.J.

block: remove struct request buffer member

2014-04-15T20:03:02Z

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago, most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't pointing at anything valid. Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data(). For the discard payload use case, just reference the page in the bio. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Pull vfs updates from Al Viro: "The first vfs pile, with deep apologies for being very late in this window. Assorted cleanups and fixes, plus a large preparatory part of iov_iter work. There's a lot more of that, but it'll probably go into the next merge window - it *does* shape up nicely, removes a lot of boilerplate, gets rid of locking inconsistencie between aio_write and splice_write and I hope to get Kent's direct-io rewrite merged into the same queue, but some of the stuff after this point is having (mostly trivial) conflicts with the things already merged into mainline and with some I want more testing. This one passes LTP and xfstests without regressions, in addition to usual beating.

block: Abstract out bvec iterator

2013-11-24T06:33:47Z

Immutable biovecs are going to require an explicit iterator. To implement immutable bvecs, a later patch is going to add a bi_bvec_done member to this struct; for now, this patch effectively just renames things.
