* xen block: remove driver_data direct access of struct deviceGreg Kroah-Hartman2009-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access to the driver_data pointer in struct device. Instead, the functions dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used. These functions have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with all older kernel versions.

* block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_sizeMartin K. Petersen2009-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

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.

* Fix kernel NULL pointer dereference in xen-blkfrontKris Shannon2009-03-05

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

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

* xen: Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume pathIan Campbell2008-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* xen: Make xen-blkfront write its protocol ABI to xenstoreMarkus Armbruster2008-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Based on http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?rev/c545932a18f3 and http://xenbits.xensource.com/xen-unstable.hg?rev/ffe52263b430 by Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Markus Armbruster <armbru@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <Jeremy.Fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* xen: Implement getgeo for Xen virtual block device.Ian Campbell2008-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The below implements the getgeo hook for Xen block devices. Extracted from the xen-unstable tree where it has been used for ages. It is useful to have because it allows things like grub2 (used by the Debian installer images) to work in a guest domain without having to sprinkle Xen specific hacks around the place.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every usage of rq_for_each_bio wraps a usage of bio_for_each_segment, so these can be combined into rq_for_each_segment. We define "struct req_iterator" to hold the 'bio' and 'index' that are needed for the double iteration. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Various compile fixes by me...
