* dm: support barriers on simple devicesAndi Kleen2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement barrier support for single device DM devices This patch implements barrier support in DM for the common case of dm linear just remapping a single underlying device. In this case we can safely pass the barrier through because there can be no reordering between devices. NB. Any DM device might cease to support barriers if it gets reconfigured so code must continue to allow for a possible -EOPNOTSUPP on every barrier bio submitted. - agk Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com>
* dm: consolidate target deregistration error handlingMikulas Patocka2009-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change dm_unregister_target to return void and use BUG() for error reporting. dm_unregister_target can only fail because of programming bug in the target driver. It can't fail because of user's behavior or disk errors. This patch changes unregister_target to return void and use BUG if someone tries to unregister non-registered target or unregister target that is in use. This patch removes code duplication (testing of error codes in all dm targets) and reports bugs in just one place, in dm_unregister_target. In some target drivers, these return codes were ignored, which could lead to a situation where bugs could be missed.

| * [PATCH] introduce __blkdev_driver_ioctl()Al Viro2008-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Analog of blkdev_driver_ioctl() with sane arguments. For now uses fake struct file, by the end of the series it won't and blkdev_driver_ioctl() will become a wrapper around it. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

* [PATCH] dm: support ioctls on mapped devices: fix with fake fileMilan Broz2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new ioctl code passes the wrong file pointer to the underlying device. No file pointer is available so make a temporary fake one. ioctl_by_bdev() does set_fs(KERNEL_DS) so it's for ioctls originating within the kernel and unsuitable here. We are processing ioctls that originated in userspace and mapping them to different devices. Fixing the existing callers that pass a NULL file struct and consolidating the fake_file users are separate matters to solve in later patches.

* [PATCH] dm: export blkdev_driver_ioctlAlasdair G Kergon2006-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | Export blkdev_driver_ioctl for device-mapper. If we get as far as the device-mapper ioctl handler, we know the ioctl is not a standard block layer BLK* one, so we don't need to check for them a second time and can call blkdev_driver_ioctl() directly.

* [PATCH] dm: remove SECTOR_FORMATAndrew Morton2006-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | We don't know what type sector_t has. Sometimes it's unsigned long, sometimes it's unsigned long long. For example on ppc64 it's unsigned long with CONFIG_LBD=n and on x86_64 it's unsigned long long with CONFIG_LBD=n. The way to handle all of this is to always use unsigned long long and to always typecast the sector_t when printing it.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
