Ezequiel Garcia 22a8578fca mtd: mtd_blkdevs: Replace request handler kthread with a workqueue
By replacing a kthread with a workqueue, the code is now a bit clearer.
There's also a slight reduction of code size (numbers apply for x86):
Before:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   3248	     36	      0	   3284	    cd4	drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.o

After:
   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   3150	     36	      0	   3186	    c72	drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.o

Due to lack of real hardware, tests have been performed on an emulated
environment with mtdswap and mtdblock over nandsim devices.
Some real testing should be done, before merging this patch.

To improve code clarity it's better to not use the same names,
so we just change the latter.

Alexander Stein 70d5098a4b mtd: mtdblock: call mtd_sync() only if opened for write
Because it is useless to call it if the device is opened in R/O mode, and also
harmful: on CFI NOR flash it may block for long time waiting for erase
operations to complete is another partition with a R/W file-system on this
chip.

Brian Norris 342ff28f5a mtd: mtd_blkdevs: don't increase 'open' count on error path
Some error paths in mtd_blkdevs were fixed in the following commit:

    commit 94735ec404
    mtd: mtd_blkdevs: fix error path in blktrans_open

But on these error paths, the block device's `dev->open' count is
already incremented before we check for errors. This meant that, while
the error path was handled correctly on the first time through
blktrans_open(), the device is erroneously considered already open on
the second time through.

This problem can be seen, for instance, when a UBI volume is
simultaneously mounted as a UBIFS partition and read through its
corresponding gluebi mtdblockX device. This results in blktrans_open()
passing its error checks (with `dev->open > 0') without actually having
a handle on the device. Here's a summarized log of the actions and
results with nandsim:

    # modprobe nandsim
    # modprobe mtdblock
    # modprobe gluebi
    # modprobe ubifs
    # ubiattach /dev/ubi_ctrl -m 0
    ...
    # ubimkvol /dev/ubi0 -N test -s 16MiB
    ...
    # mount -t ubifs ubi0:test /mnt
    # ls /dev/mtdblock*
    /dev/mtdblock0  /dev/mtdblock1
    # cat /dev/mtdblock1 > /dev/null

Artem Bityutskiy 94735ec404 mtd: mtd_blkdevs: fix error path in blktrans_open
The 'blktrans_open()' does not handle possible '__get_mtd_device()' failures
because it does not check the error code. Moreover, the 'dev->tr->open()'
failures are not handled correctly because in this case the function just
goes ahead and gets the mtd device, then returns an error. But Instead, it
should _not_ try to get the mtd device, then it should put back the module
and the kref.

This patch fixes the issue. Note, I only compile-tested it. This patch was
inspired by a bug report about a similar issue in 2.6.34 kernels
sent by Mike Turner <admin@islandsoftware.co.uk> to the MTD mailing list:

NOTE!

This merge commit was created to fix compilation error. The block
tree was merged upstream and removed the 'elv_queue_empty()'
function which the new 'mtdswap' driver is using. So a simple
merge of the mtd tree with upstream does not compile. And the
mtd tree has already be published, so re-basing it is not an option.

To fix this unfortunate situation, I had to merge upstream into the
mtd-2.6.git tree without committing, put the fixup patch on top of
this, and then commit this. The result is that we do not have commits
which do not compile.

In other words, this merge commit "merges" 3 things: the MTD tree, the
upstream tree, and the fixup patch.

In commit 2a48fc0ab2 ('block: autoconvert

mutex. However, Maxim has already provided a better fix in commit
480792b7bf ('mtd: blktrans: kill BKL'),
which was simply to remove the BKL without replacing it — since he'd
already made it do all necessary locking for itself.

Maxim Levitsky 008c751ec7 mtd: allow to unload the mtdtrans module if its block devices aren't open
Now it once again possible to remove mtdtrans module.
You still need to ensure that block devices of that module aren't mounted.
This is due to the fact that as long as a block device is open, it still exists,
therefore if we were to allow module removal, this block device might became used again.

This time in addition to code review, I also made the code
pass some torture tests like module reload in  a loop + read in a loop +
card insert/removal all at same time.

The blktrans_open/blktrans_release don't take the mtd table lock because:

While device is added (that includes execution of add_mtd_blktrans_dev)
the lock is already taken

Now suppose the device will never be removed. In this case even if we have changes
in mtd table, the entry that we need will stay exactly the same. (Note that we don't
look at table at all, just following private pointer of block device).

Now suppose that someone tries to remove the mtd device.
This will be propagated to trans driver which _ought_ to call del_mtd_blktrans_dev
which will take the per device lock, release the mtd device and set trans->mtd = NULL.
>From this point on, following opens won't even be able to know anything about that mtd device
(which at that point is likely not to exist)
Also the same care is taken not to trip over NULL mtd pointer in blktrans_dev_release.

Arnd Bergmann 2a48fc0ab2 block: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex
The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel

This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
Still need to check whether this is safe to do.

Arnd Bergmann 6e9624b8ca block: push down BKL into .open and .release
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.

Ilya Loginov 2d4dc890b5 block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages
Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

Christoph Hellwig 1122a26f2a block: use normal I/O path for discard requests
prepare_discard_fn() was being called in a place where memory allocation
was effectively impossible.  This makes it inappropriate for all but
the most trivial translations of Linux's DISCARD operation to the block
command set.  Additionally adding a payload there makes the ownership
of the bio backing unclear as it's now allocated by the device driver
and not the submitter as usual.

It is replaced with QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD which is used to indicate whether
the queue supports discard operations or not.  blkdev_issue_discard now
allocates a one-page, sector-length payload which is the right thing
for the common ATA and SCSI implementations.

The mtd implementation of prepare_discard_fn() is replaced with simply
checking for the request being a discard.

Largely based on a previous patch from Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx>
which did the prepare_discard_fn but not the different payload allocation
yet.

Artem Bityutskiy 8022c13c27 mtd: blkdevs: do not forget to get MTD devices
Nowadays MTD devices have to be "get" before they can be
used. This has to be done with 'get_mtd_device()'. The
'blktrans_open()' function did not do this and instead
used 'try_module_get()'. Fix this.

Since 'get_mtd_device()' already gets the module, extra
'try_module_get()' is not needed.

This fixes oops when one tries to use mtdblock on top of
gluebi.

Martin K. Petersen e1defc4ff0 block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case.  The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes.  Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

Tejun Heo 9934c8c045 block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch
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.

[ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

Tejun Heo f06d9a2b52 block: replace end_request() with [__]blk_end_request_cur()
end_request() has been kept around for backward compatibility;
however, it's about time for it to go away.

* There aren't too many users left.

* Its use of @updtodate is pretty confusing.

* In some cases, newer code ends up using mixture of end_request() and
  [__]blk_end_request[_all](), which is way too confusing.

So, add [__]blk_end_request_cur() and replace end_request() with it.
Most conversions are straightforward.  Noteworthy ones are...

* paride/pcd: next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0.

* paride/pf: pf_end_request() and next_request() updated to take
  0/-errno instead of 1/0.

* xd: xd_readwrite() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0.

* mtd/mtd_blkdevs: blktrans_discard_request() updated to return
  0/-errno instead of 1/0.  Unnecessary local variable res
  initialization removed from mtd_blktrans_thread().

David Brownell 1f24b5a8ec [MTD] driver model updates
Update driver model support in the MTD framework, so it fits
better into the current udev-based hotplug framework:

 - Each mtd_info now has a device node.  MTD drivers should set
   the dev.parent field to point to the physical device, before
   setting up partitions or otherwise declaring MTDs.

 - Those device nodes always map to /sys/class/mtdX device nodes,
   which no longer depend on MTD_CHARDEV.

 - Those mtdX sysfs nodes have a "starter set" of attributes;
   it's not yet sufficient to replace /proc/mtd.

 - Enabling MTD_CHARDEV provides /sys/class/mtdXro/ nodes and the
   /sys/class/mtd*/dev attributes (for udev, mdev, etc).

 - Include a MODULE_ALIAS_CHARDEV_MAJOR macro.  It'll work with
   udev creating the /dev/mtd* nodes, not just a static rootfs.

So the sysfs structure is pretty much what you'd expect, except
that readonly chardev nodes are a bit quirky.
