paride: fix the "verbose" module param

2015-04-15T23:35:22+00:00

The verbose module parameter can be set to 2 for extremely verbose
messages so the type should be int instead of bool.

Merge branch 'for-3.18/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2014-10-18T18:53:51+00:00

Pull core block layer changes from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the core block IO pull request for 3.18.  Apart from the new
  and improved flush machinery for blk-mq, this is all mostly bug fixes
  and cleanups.

   - blk-mq timeout updates and fixes from Christoph.

   - Removal of REQ_END, also from Christoph.  We pass it through the
     ->queue_rq() hook for blk-mq instead, freeing up one of the request
     bits.  The space was overly tight on 32-bit, so Martin also killed
     REQ_KERNEL since it's no longer used.

   - blk integrity updates and fixes from Martin and Gu Zheng.

   - Update to the flush machinery for blk-mq from Ming Lei.  Now we
     have a per hardware context flush request, which both cleans up the
     code should scale better for flush intensive workloads on blk-mq.

   - Improve the error printing, from Rob Elliott.

   - Backing device improvements and cleanups from Tejun.

   - Fixup of a misplaced rq_complete() tracepoint from Hannes.

   - Make blk_get_request() return error pointers, fixing up issues
     where we NULL deref when a device goes bad or missing.  From Joe
     Lawrence.

   - Prep work for drastically reducing the memory consumption of dm
     devices from Junichi Nomura.  This allows creating clone bio sets
     without preallocating a lot of memory.

   - Fix a blk-mq hang on certain combinations of queue depths and
     hardware queues from me.

   - Limit memory consumption for blk-mq devices for crash dump
     scenarios and drivers that use crazy high depths (certain SCSI
     shared tag setups).  We now just use a single queue and limited
     depth for that"

block,scsi: fixup blk_get_request dead queue scenarios

2014-08-28T16:03:46+00:00

The blk_get_request function may fail in low-memory conditions or during
device removal (even if __GFP_WAIT is set). To distinguish between these
errors, modify the blk_get_request call stack to return the appropriate
ERR_PTR. Verify that all callers check the return status and consider
IS_ERR instead of a simple NULL pointer check.

For consistency, make a similar change to the blk_mq_alloc_request leg
of blk_get_request.  It may fail if the queue is dead, or the caller was
unwilling to wait.

block,scsi: verify return pointer from blk_get_request

2014-08-26T21:20:23+00:00

The blk-core dead queue checks introduce an error scenario to
blk_get_request that returns NULL if the request queue has been
shutdown. This affects the behavior for __GFP_WAIT callers, who should
verify the return value before dereferencing.

block: remove struct request buffer member

2014-04-15T20:03:02+00:00

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
pointing at anything valid.

Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().

For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
in the bio.

drivers/block/paride/pg.c: underflow bug in pg_write()

2014-01-22T04:16:56+00:00

The test here can underflow so we pass bogus lengths to the hardware.
It's a static checker fix and I don't know the impact.

block_device_operations->release() should return void

2013-05-07T06:16:21+00:00

The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those
only in a couple of drivers) *and* it would've been lost on the way
out anyway, even if something tried to pass something meaningful.
Just don't bother.

drivers/block/paride: remove depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL

2013-01-21T22:52:42+00:00

The CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL config item has not carried much meaning for a
while now and is almost always enabled by default. As agreed during the
Linux kernel summit, remove it from any "depends on" lines in Kconfigs.

paride/pcd: fix bool verbose module parameter.

2012-01-12T23:02:26+00:00

Dan Carpenter points out that it's an int, not a bool:

pcd.c:427:				if (verbose > 1)
pcd.c:433:				if (verbose > 1)
pcd.c:437:				if (verbose < 2)
