* block: Block layer data integrity supportMartin K. Petersen2008-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some block devices support verifying the integrity of requests by way of checksums or other protection information that is submitted along with the I/O. This patch implements support for generating and verifying integrity metadata, as well as correctly merging, splitting and cloning bios and requests that have this extra information attached. See Documentation/block/data-integrity.txt for more information. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: rename and export rq_init()FUJITA Tomonori2008-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This rename rq_init() blk_rq_init() and export it. Any path that hands the request to the block layer needs to call it to initialize the request. This is a preparation for large command support, which needs to initialize the request in a proper way (that is, just doing a memset() will not work).
