<id>urn:sha1:5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>
<content type='text'>
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 -&gt; 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.

Except for SCSI no device drivers distinguish between physical and

limit.

<content type='text'>
The block layer calling convention is blk_queue_&lt;limit name&gt;.
blk_queue_max_sectors predates this practice, leading to some confusion.
Rename the function to appropriately reflect that its intended use is to
set max_hw_sectors.

Also introduce a temporary wrapper for backwards compability.  This can
be removed after the merge window is closed.

The id_table field of the struct usb_device_id is constant in &lt;linux/usb.h&gt;
so it is worth to make ub_usb_ids also constant.

<id>urn:sha1:e1defc4ff0cf57aca6c5e3ff99fa503f5943c1f1</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

<title>block: set rq-&gt;resid_len to blk_rq_bytes() on issue</title>

<id>urn:sha1:5f49f63178360b07a095bd33b0d850d60edf7590</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit c3a4d78c580de4edc9ef0f7c59812fb02ceb037f, while introducing
rq-&gt;resid_len, the default value of residue count was changed from
full count to zero.  The conversion was done under the assumption that
when a request fails residue count wasn't defined.  However, Boaz and
James pointed out that this wasn't true and the residue count should
be preserved for failed requests too.

This patchset restores the original behavior by setting rq-&gt;resid_len
to blk_rq_bytes(rq) on request start and restoring explicit clearing
in affected drivers.  While at it, take advantage of the fact that
rq-&gt;resid_len is set to full count where applicable.

* ide-cd: rq-&gt;resid_len cleared on pc success

* mptsas: req-&gt;resid_len cleared on success

* sas_expander: rsp/req-&gt;resid_len cleared on success

* mpt2sas_transport: req-&gt;resid_len cleared on success

* ide-cd, ide-tape, mptsas, sas_host_smp, mpt2sas_transport, ub: take
  advantage of initial full count to simplify code

Boaz Harrosh spotted bug in resid_len initialization.  Fixed as
suggested.

ub_end_rq() always tries to complete full request.  The @cmd_len
parameter was there because rq-&gt;data_len used to be overwritten with
residue count.  Drop @cmd_len and use __blk_end_request_all().

<title>block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.stealer.net/cgit.cgi/user/sven/linux.git/commit/?id=9934c8c04561413609d2bc38c6b9f268cba774a4'/>
<id>urn:sha1:9934c8c04561413609d2bc38c6b9f268cba774a4</id>
<content type='text'>
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.

[ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

With the previous changes, the followings are now guaranteed for all
requests in any valid state.

* blk_rq_sectors() == blk_rq_bytes() &gt;&gt; 9
* blk_rq_cur_sectors() == blk_rq_cur_bytes() &gt;&gt; 9

Clean up accessor usages.  Notable changes are

* nbd,i2o_block: end_all used instead of explicit byte count
* scsi_lib: unnecessary conditional on request type removed
