* [PATCH] dm: export blkdev_driver_ioctlAlasdair G Kergon2006-10-031-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | Export blkdev_driver_ioctl for device-mapper. If we get as far as the device-mapper ioctl handler, we know the ioctl is not a standard block layer BLK* one, so we don't need to check for them a second time and can call blkdev_driver_ioctl() directly.

* [PATCH] lockdep: annotate the BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION ioctlArjan van de Ven2006-07-141-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | The delete partition IOCTL takes the bd_mutex for both the disk and the partition; these have an obvious hierarchical relationship and this patch annotates this relationship for lockdep.

* [PATCH] move capable() to capability.hRandy.Dunlap2006-01-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | - Move capable() from sched.h to capability.h; - Use <linux/capability.h> where capable() is used (in include/, block/, ipc/, kernel/, a few drivers/, mm/, security/, & sound/; many more drivers/ to go) Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xenotime.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device methodChristoph Hellwig2006-01-081-0/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now. [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard sector size.

* [BLOCK] Move all core block layer code to new block/ directoryJens Axboe2005-11-041-0/+275
drivers/block/ is right now a mix of core and driver parts. Lets move the core parts to a new top level directory. Al will move the fs/ related block parts to block/ next. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
