* [BLOCK] Move all core block layer code to new block/ directoryJens Axboe2005-11-041-726/+0
| | | | | | | | 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>
* [BLOCK] Unify the seperate read/write io stat fields into arraysJens Axboe2005-11-011-15/+14
| | | | | | | | | | Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in just the core (not counting the various drivers). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
* [PATCH] add sysfs attr to re-emit device hotplug eventKay Sievers2005-10-281-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | A "coldplug + udevstart" can be simple like this: for i in /sys/block/*/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done for i in /sys/class/*/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done for i in /sys/bus/*/devices/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* [PATCH] Add missing overflow check in get_blkdev_listNeil Horman2005-09-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Patch to clean up missing overflow check in get_blkdev_list. The printf which adds the "Block Devices" string in /proc/devices can overflow the presented page if get_chrdev_list eats up the entire 4k space.

* [PATCH] add check to /proc/devices read routinesNeil Horman2005-06-231-2/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch to add check to get_chrdev_list and get_blkdev_list to prevent reads of /proc/devices from spilling over the provided page if more than 4096 bytes of string data are generated from all the registered character and block devices in a system Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@redhat.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* [PATCH] NUMA aware block device control structure allocationChristoph Lameter2005-06-231-3/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch to allocate the control structures for for ide devices on the node of the device itself (for NUMA systems). The patch depends on the Slab API change patch by Manfred and me (in mm) and the pcidev_to_node patch that I posted today. Does some realignment too. Signed-off-by: Justin M.

* [PATCH] sysfs: (driver/block) if show/store is missing return -EIODmitry Torokhov2005-06-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | sysfs: fix drivers/block so if an attribute doesn't implement show or store method read/write will return -EIO instead of 0 or -EINVAL. Signed-off-by: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* [PATCH] remove do_sync parameter from __invalidate_deviceChristoph Hellwig2005-05-051-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | The only caller that ever sets it can call fsync_bdev itself easily. Also update some comments.

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!
