2009-08-01T08:24:35Z

Introduce blk_limits_io_min() and make blk_queue_io_min() call it. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Fix compile error due to congestion_wait() changes

2009-07-11T18:22:26Z

Move the definition of BLK_RW_ASYNC/BLK_RW_SYNC into linux/backing-dev.h so that it is available to all callers of set/clear_bdi_congested(). This replaces commit 097041e576ee3a50d92dd643ee8ca65bf6a62e21 ("fuse: Fix build error"), which will be reverted.

block: fix sg SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV regression

2009-07-10T18:31:53Z

I overlooked SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV support when I converted sg to use the block layer mapping API (2.6.28). Douglas Gilbert explained SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg37135.html = The semantics of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV were: - copy user space buffer to kernel (LLD) buffer - do SCSI command which is assumed to be of the DATA_IN (data from device) variety. This would overwrite some or all of the kernel buffer - copy kernel (LLD) buffer back to the user space. The idea was to detect short reads by filling the original user space buffer with some marker bytes ("0xec" it would seem in this report). The "resid" value is a better way of detecting short reads but that was only added this century and requires co-operation from the LLD. = This patch changes the block layer mapping API to support this semantics. This simply adds another field to struct rq_map_data and enables __bio_copy_iov() to copy data from user space even with READ requests. It's better to add the flags field and kills null_mapped and the new from_user fields in struct rq_map_data but that approach makes it difficult to send this patch to stable trees because st and osst drivers use struct rq_map_data (they were converted to use the block layer in 2.6.29 and 2.6.30). Well, I should clean up the block layer mapping API. zhou sf reported this regiression and tested this patch: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg37128.html http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg37168.html Reported-by: zhou sf Tested-by: zhou sf Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Fix congestion_wait() sync/async vs read/write confusion

2009-07-10T18:31:53Z

Commit 1faa16d22877f4839bd433547d770c676d1d964c accidentally broke the bdi congestion wait queue logic, causing us to wait on congestion for WRITE (== 1) when we really wanted BLK_RW_ASYNC (== 0) instead. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: get rid of queue-private command filter

2009-07-01T08:56:26Z

The initial patches to support this through sysfs export were broken and have been if 0'ed out in any release. So lets just kill the code and reclaim some space in struct request_queue, if anyone would later like to fixup the sysfs bits, the git history can easily restore the removed bits.

block: add request clone interface (v2)

2009-06-11T11:11:05Z

This patch adds the following 2 interfaces for request-stacking drivers: - blk_rq_prep_clone(struct request *clone, struct request *orig, struct bio_set *bs, gfp_t gfp_mask, int (*bio_ctr)(struct bio *, struct bio*, void *), void *data) * Clones bios in the original request to the clone request (bio_ctr is called for each cloned bios.) * Copies attributes of the original request to the clone request. The actual data parts (e.g. ->cmd, ->buffer, ->sense) are not copied. - blk_rq_unprep_clone(struct request *clone) * Frees cloned bios from the clone request. Request stacking drivers (e.g. request-based dm) need to make a clone request for a submitted request and dispatch it to other devices. To allocate request for the clone, request stacking drivers may not be able to use blk_get_request() because the allocation may be done in an irq-disabled context. So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a request allocated by the caller as an argument. For each clone bio in the clone request, request stacking drivers should be able to set up their own completion handler. So blk_rq_prep_clone() takes a callback function which is called for each clone bio, and a pointer for private data which is passed to the callback. NOTE: blk_rq_prep_clone() doesn't copy any actual data of the original request. Pages are shared between original bios and cloned bios. So caller must not complete the original request before the clone request. Signed-off-by: Kiyoshi Ueda Signed-off-by: Jun'ichi Nomura Cc: Boaz Harrosh Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

partitions: add ->set_capacity block device method

2009-06-07T11:52:52Z

* Add ->set_capacity block device method and use it in rescan_partitions() to attempt enabling native capacity of the device upon detecting the partition which exceeds device capacity. * Add GENHD_FL_NATIVE_CAPACITY flag to try limit attempts of enabling native capacity during partition scan. Together with the consecutive patch implementing ->set_capacity method in ide-gd device driver this allows automatic disabling of Host Protected Area (HPA) if any partitions overlapping HPA are detected.
