* block: clear drain buffer if draining for write commandTejun Heo2008-02-19
| | | | | | | | Clear drain buffer before chaining if the command in question is a write. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: implement request_queue->dma_drain_neededTejun Heo2008-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | Draining shouldn't be done for commands where overflow may indicate data integrity issues. Add dma_drain_needed callback to request_queue. Drain buffer is appened iff this function returns non-zero.

* block: add request->raw_data_lenTejun Heo2008-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With padding and draining moved into it, block layer now may extend requests as directed by queue parameters, so now a request has two sizes - the original request size and the extended size which matches the size of area pointed to by bios and later by sgs. The latter size is what lower layers are primarily interested in when allocating, filling up DMA tables and setting up the controller. Both padding and draining extend the data area to accomodate controller characteristics. As any controller which speaks SCSI can handle underflows, feeding larger data area is safe. So, this patch makes the primary data length field, request->data_len, indicate the size of full data area and add a separate length field, request->raw_data_len, for the unmodified request size. The latter is used to report to higher layer (userland) and where the original request size should be fed to the controller or device.
