md: Add module.h to all files using it implicitly

2011-10-31T23:31:18Z

A pending cleanup will mean that module.h won't be implicitly everywhere anymore. Make sure the modular drivers in md dir are actually calling out for explicitly in advance. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker

md: remove typedefs: mddev_t -> struct mddev

2011-10-11T05:47:53Z

Having mddev_t and 'struct mddev_s' is ugly and not preferred Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md: removing typedefs: mdk_rdev_t -> struct md_rdev

2011-10-11T05:45:26Z

The typedefs are just annoying. 'mdk' probably refers to 'md_k.h' which used to be an include file that defined this thing. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown

md: Avoid waking up a thread after it has been freed.

2011-09-21T05:30:20Z

Two related problems: 1/ some error paths call "md_unregister_thread(mddev->thread)" without subsequently clearing ->thread. A subsequent call to mddev_unlock will try to wake the thread, and crash. 2/ Most calls to md_wakeup_thread are protected against the thread disappeared either by: - holding the ->mutex - having an active request, so something else must be keeping the array active. However mddev_unlock calls md_wakeup_thread after dropping the mutex and without any certainty of an active request, so the ->thread could theoretically disappear. So we need a spinlock to provide some protections. So change md_unregister_thread to take a pointer to the thread pointer, and ensure that it always does the required locking, and clears the pointer properly.

block: remove support for bio remapping from ->make_request

2011-09-12T10:12:01Z

There is very little benefit in allowing to let a ->make_request instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in __generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in generic_make_request handle it. Note that various drivers got the return value from ->make_request and returned non-zero values for errors. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: NeilBrown Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
