* driver-core: Add attribute argument to class_attribute show/storeAndi Kleen2010-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring an own function for every piece of data. Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields and use that in the low level function. This makes the class attributes the same as sysdev_class attributes and plain attributes. This will allow further cleanups in drivers. Full tree sweep converting all users. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* osdblk: Adjust queue limits to lower device's limitsBoaz Harrosh2009-06-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | call blk_queue_stack_limits() to copy queue limits from the underline osd scsi_device. This is absolutely needed because osdblk cannot sleep when allocating a lower-request and therefore cannot be bouncing. TODO: Dynamic changes of limits to the lower device queue will not reflect in the upper driver Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
* osdblk: a Linux block device for OSD objectsJeff Garzik2009-06-24
Submitted driver exports a block device of the form /dev/osdblkX, where X is a decimal number. It does that by mounting a stacking block device on top of an osd object. For example, if you create a 2G object on an OSD device, you can then use this module to present that 2G object as a Linux block device. See inside patch for exact documentation. [Sitting at linux-next helped fix proper Kconfig dependency for this driver, thanks to Randy Dunlap] Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
