Fix a problem that causes I/O to a disconnected (or partially initialized)
nbd device to hang indefinitely. To reproduce:
# ioctl NBD_SET_SIZE_BLOCKS /dev/nbd23 514048
# dd if=/dev/nbd23 of=/dev/null bs=4096 count=1
...hangs...
This can also occur when an nbd device loses its nbd-client/server
connection. Although we clear the queue of any outstanding I/Os after the
client/server connection fails, any additional I/Os that get queued later
will hang.
This bug may also be the problem reported in this bug report:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12277
Testing would need to be performed to determine if the two issues are the
same.
This problem was introduced by the new request handling thread code ("NBD:
allow nbd to be used locally", 3/2008), which entered into mainline around
2.6.25.
The fix, which is fairly simple, is to restore the check for lo->sock
being NULL in do_nbd_request. This causes I/O to an uninitialized nbd to
immediately fail with an I/O error, as it did prior to the introduction of
this bug.

Two nbd-clients at same time are bad idea, and cause WARN_ON from nbd in
2.6.28-rc7 from sysfs_add_one. This simply prevents that from happening.

Apart from sleep_on() calls that could be easily converted to
wait_event() and completion calls amiflop also used a flag in ms_delay()
and ms_isr() as a custom mutex for ms_delay() without a need for
explicit unlocking. I converted that to a standard mutex.
The replacement for the unconditional sleep_on() in fd_motor_on() is a
complete_all() together with a INIT_COMPLETION() before the mod_timer()
call. It appears to me that fd_motor_on() might be called concurrently
and fd_select() does not guarantee mutual exclusivity in the case the
same drive gets selected again.

This patch (as1161) changes the interface to
usb_lock_device_for_reset(). The existing interface is apparently not
very clear, judging from the fact that several of its callers don't
use it correctly. The new interface always returns 0 for success and
it always requires the caller to unlock the device afterward.
The new routine will not return immediately if it is called while the
driver's probe method is running. Instead it will wait until the
probe is over and the device has been unlocked. This shouldn't cause
any problems; I don't know of any cases where drivers call
usb_lock_device_for_reset() during probe.

Enhance the driver to handle whatever maximum segment number the host
tells us to handle. Do to this, we need to allocate the scatterlist
dynamically.
We set max_phys_segments and max_hw_segments to the same value (1 if
the host doesn't tell us, since that's safest and all known hosts do
tell us).
Note that kmalloc'ing the structure for large sg_elems might be
problematic: the fix for this is sg_table, but that requires more
work.
Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Setting max_segment_size allows more than 64k per sg element, unless

In loop_unplug() function is expected that mapping is set
and lo->lo_backing_file is not NULL.
Unfortunately loop_set_fd() set the request queue unplug function,

If the unplug on request queue is called, loop module oopses because
of missing lo_backing_file.

The pktcdvd created class devices only export some sysfs files,
but have no char dev_t registered in the driver.
At class device creation time they copy the dev_t value of the
block device to the char device, wich will register a new char
device in the driver core and userspace, with a conflicting dev_t
value.
In many cases the class devices dev_t just points to a random
USB device. This fixes the sysfs "duplicate entry" errors.

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.
Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.
New methods:
open(bdev, mode)
release(disk, mode)
ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */

Tejun's commit 7b595756ec made sysfs
attribute->owner unnecessary. But the field was left in the structure to
ease the merge. It's been over a year since that change and it is now
time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
a time!
This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 . We will deal with other arches later on
as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
can test. Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
and boot tested.
akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
`#ifndef CONFIG_X86'. But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

The current floppy_struct allows floppies to number sectors starting
from 0 or 1. This patch allows arbitrary first-sector numbers - for
example, 0xC1 for Amstrad CPC disks.
This extends the existing 1-bit field (FD_ZEROBASED, bit 2 of stretch)
to 8 bits (FD_SECTMASK, bits 2 to 9).
Currently 0x00 denotes a first sector number of 1, and 0x01 denotes a
first sector number of 0. We extend this by interpreting FD_SECTMASK
as the first sector number with the LSB flipped.

Until recently, the maximum number of xvd block devices you could attach
to a Xen domU was 16. This limitation turned out to be problematic for
some users, so it was expanded to handle a much larger number of disks.
However, this requires a couple of changes in the way that blkfront
scans for disks. This functionality is already present in the Xen
linux-2.6.18-xen.hg tree; the attached patch adds this functionality to
the mainline xen-blkfront implementation. I successfully tested it on a
2.6.25 tree, and build tested it on 2.6.27-rc3.

Move stats related fields - stamp, in_flight, dkstats - from disk to
part0 and unify stat handling such that...
* part_stat_*() now updates part0 together if the specified partition
is not part0. ie. part_stat_*() are now essentially all_stat_*().
* {disk|all}_stat_*() are gone.
* part_round_stats() is updated similary. It handles part0 stats
automatically and disk_round_stats() is killed.
* part_{inc|dec}_in_fligh() is implemented which automatically updates
part0 stats for parts other than part0.
* disk_map_sector_rcu() is updated to return part0 if no part matches.
Combined with the above changes, this makes NULL special case
handling in callers unnecessary.
* Separate stats show code paths for disk are collapsed into part
stats show code paths.
* Rename disk_stat_lock/unlock() to part_stat_lock/unlock()
While at it, reposition stat handling macros a bit and add missing

There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters. It's unclear
whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
entry as some callers don't do that.
This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access). diskstats access
should always be enclosed between the two functions. As such, there's
no need for the versions which disables preemption. They're removed
and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars. As an
extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
unconverted.
disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
argument to help RT.
This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
collapses several preemption ops into one at others. Overall, the
performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
very lightweight per-cpu ones.

disk->part[] is protected by its matching bdev's lock. However,
non-critical accesses like collecting stats and printing out sysfs and
proc information used to be performed without any locking. As
partitions can come and go dynamically, partitions can go away
underneath those non-critical accesses. As some of those accesses are
writes, this theoretically can lead to silent corruption.
This patch fixes the race by using RCU for the partition array and dev
reference counter to hold partitions.
* Rename disk->part[] to disk->__part[] to make sure no one outside
genhd layer proper accesses it directly.
* Use RCU for disk->__part[] dereferencing.
* Implement disk_{get|put}_part() which can be used to get and put
partitions from gendisk respectively.
* Iterators are implemented to help iterate through all partitions
safely.
* Functions which require RCU readlock are marked with _rcu suffix.
* Use disk_put_part() in __blkdev_put() instead of directly putting
the contained kobject.

* Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly
access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor.
Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of
block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as
->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the
disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary. However,
convert them for consistency.
* Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing
genhd->minors.
* Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor
space.
* Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it
the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).

struct request has an ioprio member but it is never updated because
currently bios do not hold io context information. The implication of
this is that virtio_blk ends up passing useless information to the
backend driver.
That said, some IO schedulers such as CFQ do store io context
information in struct request, but use private members for that, which
means that that information cannot be directly accessed in a IO
scheduler-independent way.
This patch adds a function to obtain the ioprio of a request. We should
avoid accessing ioprio directly and use this function instead, so that
its users do not have to care about future changes in block layer
structures or what the currently active IO controller is.
This patch does not introduce any functional changes but paves the way
for future clean-ups and enhancements.

The patch is fairly complex but we haven't figured out how to make it any

stack. As a result, blk_put_request needs a hack to catch a NULL
request_queue. This converts pd_special_command to use
blk_execute_rq.

This patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding
commands for each controller.
Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable
exceptions are the E200 and E200i.
The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of
operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR). In this mode they only support
64 outstanding commands. In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support
1024.
We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value
for each controller. We needed a better way to set the queue depth to
avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages. So we made the driver a
little smarter. We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the
returned value. The -4 is to allow some room for ioctl calls which are
not tracked the same way as io commands are tracked.
Please consider this for inclusion.

When devices are stacked, one device's merge_bvec_fn may need to perform
the mapping and then call one or more functions for its underlying devices.
The following bio fields are used:
bio->bi_sector
bio->bi_bdev
bio->bi_size
bio->bi_rw using bio_data_dir()
This patch creates a new struct bvec_merge_data holding a copy of those
fields to avoid having to change them directly in the struct bio when
going down the stack only to have to change them back again on the way
back up. (And then when the bio gets mapped for real, the whole
exercise gets repeated, but that's a problem for another day...)

Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume path by
preventing the allocations from doing IO and allowing them
to access the emergency pools.
These paths are used when a frontend device is trying to connect
to its backend driver over Xenbus. These reconnections are triggered
on demand by IO, so by definition there is already IO underway,
and further IO would naturally deadlock. On resume, this path
is triggered when the running system tries to continue using its
devices. If it cannot then the resume will fail; to try to avoid this
we let it dip into the emergency pools.

In 2.6.25, ramdisk devices show up in /proc/partitions, which is a
behaviour change from the old rd.c. Add GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO,
which was present in rd.c.
All kernels prior to 2.6.25 weren't displaying ramdisks in
/proc/partitions. Since there are many userspace tools using information
from /proc/partitions some of them may now behave incorrectly (I didn't
tested any though). For example before 2.6.25 /proc/partitions was empty
if no block devices like hard disks and such were detected by kernel. Now
all 16 ramdisks are always visible there. Some software may rely on such
information (I mean, on empty /proc/partitions).
There was quite similar situation back in 2004, and ramdisks were excluded
back from displaying. Thats why I called this a regression (maybe a bit
unfortunate). See this patch for info:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.3-rc2/2.6.3-rc2-mm1/broken-out/nbd-proc-partitions-fix.patch
I also think that someone somewhere (long time ago) excluded ramdisks from
/proc/partitions for good reasons. It is possible that now such new
"feature" is harmless, but I think there are more chances that someone
will say "hey, /proc/partitions has changed, now my software doesn't work"
then "hey where did my new 2.6.25 feature go". nbd devices are also
excluded, maybe for very same (unknown to me) reasons.

A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API: in particular, we assume that feature
negotiation is complete once a driver's probe function returns.
There is nothing in the API to require this, however, and even I
didn't notice when it was violated.
So instead, we require the driver to specify what features it supports
in a table, we can then move the feature negotiation into the virtio
core. The intersection of device and driver features are presented in
a new 'features' bitmap in the struct virtio_device.
Note that this highlights the difference between Linux unsigned-long
bitmaps where each unsigned long is in native endian, and a
straight-forward little-endian array of bytes.
Drivers can still remove feature bits in their probe routine if they
really have to.
API changes:
- dev->config->feature() no longer gets and acks a feature.
- drivers should advertise their features in the 'feature_table' field
- use virtio_has_feature() for extra sanity when checking feature bits

A recent proposed feature addition to the virtio block driver revealed
some flaws in the API, in particular how easy it is to break big
endian machines.
The virtio config space was originally chosen to be little-endian,
because we thought the config might be part of the PCI config space
for virtio_pci. It's actually a separate mmio region, so that
argument holds little water; as only x86 is currently using the virtio
mechanism, we can change this (but must do so now, before the
impending s390 merge).
API changes:
- __virtio_config_val() just becomes a striaght vdev->config_get() call.

-------NOTE, RFC: partition table is not automatically read.
The driver sets bdev->bd_invalidated to 1 to force the read of the partition
table of the device, but this is done only on an open of the device.
So we have to do a "touch /dev/nbdX" or something like that.
It can't be done from the nbd-client or nbd driver because at this
level we can't ask to read the partition table and to serve the request
at the same time (-> deadlock)
If someone has a better idea, I'm open to any suggestion.

-------NOTE
On "nbd-client -d", we can do an iocl(BLKRRPART) to update partition table:
as the size of the device is 0, we don't have to serve the partition manager
request (-> no deadlock).

This patch allows Network Block Device to be mounted locally (nbd-client to
nbd-server over 127.0.0.1).
It creates a kthread to avoid the deadlock described in NBD tools
documentation. So, if nbd-client hangs waiting for pages, the kblockd thread
can continue its work and free pages.
I have tested the patch to verify that it avoids the hang that always occurs
when writing to a localhost nbd connection. I have also tested to verify that
no performance degradation results from the additional thread and queue.
Patch originally from Laurent Vivier.

This is a preparation for large command support, which needs to

blk_get_request initializes rq->cmd (rq_init does) so the users don't
need to do that.
The purpose of this patch is to remove sizeof(rq->cmd) and &rq->cmd,
as a preparation for large command support, which changes rq->cmd from
the static array to a pointer. sizeof(rq->cmd) will not make sense and
&rq->cmd won't work.

As ps3disk is a ppc64-only driver, sector_t equals to unsigned long, and the
cast is not needed.
Reuse in another (possibly 32-bit) driver is protected by the safety net called
`compiler warning' (with the cast, it may silently truncate to 32-bit).
If sector_t ever changes, we will get a compiler warning as well (with the
cast, we won't).

Alter the block device ->direct_access() API to work with the new
get_xip_mem() API (that requires both kaddr and pfn are returned).
Some architectures will not do the right thing in their virt_to_page() for use
by XIP (to translate from the kernel virtual address returned by
direct_access(), to a user mappable pfn in XIP's page fault handler.
However, we can't switch it to just return the pfn and not the kaddr, because
we have no good way to get a kva from a pfn, and XIP requires the kva for its
read(2) and write(2) handlers. So we have to return both.

When the xen block frontend driver is built as a module the module load
is only synchronous up to the point where the frontend and the backend
become connected rather than when the disk is added.
This means that there can be a race on boot between loading the module and
loading the dm-* modules and doing the scan for LVM physical volumes (all
in the initrd). In the failure case the disk is not present until after the
scan for physical volumes is complete.

Frontends are expected to write their protocol ABI to xenstore. Since
the protocol ABI defaults to the backend's native ABI, things work
fine without that as long as the frontend's native ABI is identical to
the backend's native ABI. This is not the case for xen-blkfront
running 32-on-64, because its ABI differs between 32 and 64 bit, and
thus needs this fix.
