* block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for legacy/fringe driversTejun Heo2011-04-211-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In-kernel disk event polling doesn't matter for legacy/fringe drivers and may lead to infinite event loop if ->check_events() implementation generates events on level condition instead of edge. Now that block layer supports suppressing exporting unlisted events, simply leaving disk->events cleared allows these drivers to keep the internal revalidation behavior intact while avoiding weird interactions with userland event handler.

* floppy,{ami|ata}flop: Convert to bdops->check_events()Tejun Heo2011-03-091-6/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Convert the floppy drivers from ->media_changed() to ->check_events(). Both floppy and ataflop buffer media changed state bit and clear them on revalidation and will behave correctly with kernel event polling. I can't tell how amiflop clears its event and it's possible that it may generate spurious events when polled.

* block: fix amiga and atari floppy driver compile warningVivek Goyal2010-11-151-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Geert, my crosstool don't produce warning below. I guess this has to do something with compiler version. - Geert noticed following warning during compilation. drivers/block/amiflop.c:1344: warning: ‘rq’ may be used uninitialized in this function drivers/block/ataflop.c:1402: warning: ‘rq’ may be used uninitialized in this function - Initialize rq to NULL to fix the warning. If we can't find a suitable request to dispatch, this function should return NULL instead of a possibly garbage pointer. - Cross compile tested only. Don't have hardware to test it.

* block: push down BKL into .open and .releaseArnd Bergmann2010-08-071-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The open and release block_device_operations are currently called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must first make sure that all drivers that currently rely on this have no regressions. This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release operations for all block drivers to prepare for the next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL with their own locks or remove it completely when it can be shown that it is not needed. The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}. Most of these two functions is also under the protection of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to ->open and ->release, and the common code does not access any global data structures that need the BKL.

* ataflop: remove buggy/commented-out IRQ disable from do_fd_request()Jiri Kosina2009-11-091-3/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a nice gem in drivers/block/ataflop.c::do_fd_request() void do_fd_request(struct request_queue * q) { unsigned long flags; DPRINT(("do_fd_request for pid %d\n",current->pid)); while( fdc_busy ) sleep_on( &fdc_wait ); fdc_busy = 1; stdma_lock(floppy_irq, NULL); atari_disable_irq( IRQ_MFP_FDC ); local_save_flags(flags); /* The request function is called with ints local_irq_disable(); * disabled... so must save the IPL for later */ redo_fd_request(); local_irq_restore(flags); atari_enable_irq( IRQ_MFP_FDC ); } If you look at the code long enough, you will notioce that the local_irq_disable() call is actually commented out. This has been introduced back in 2002 in [1], but as you can see, the same bug has been there even before, with the sti() call being commented out in the very same way :) I am not familiar with the code myself at all, but I guess that the whole stuff can just be removed. Why do we need save_flags/restore_flags at all, without actually disabling the local IRQs afterwards? The redo_fd_request() doesn't seem to do anything that would mess with flags inconsistently. [1] http://lkml.org/lkml/2002/12/27/58 Jens: That does look odd. The comment is correct that the function is entered with interrupts disabled (and the queue lock held). So I'd say your patch looks fine, the whole save/restore business looks meaningless.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells2006-10-051-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
