* block: add partition attribute for partition numberTejun Heo2008-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With extended devt, finding out the partition number becomes a bit more challenging as subtracting the minor number from that of the parent device doesn't work anymore. The only thing left is parsing the partition name which is brittle and not exactly universal (some have '-' between the device name and partition number while others don't). This patch introduced partition attribute which contains the partition number of the device. This should make finding partitions and its index easier. This problem and solution were suggested by H. Peter Anvin. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: sanitize invalid partition table entriesKay Sievers2008-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We currently follow blindly what the partition table lies about the disk, and let the kernel create block devices which can not be accessed. Trying to identify the device leads to kernel logs full of: sdb: rw=0, want=73392, limit=28800 attempt to access beyond end of device Here is an example of a broken partition table, where sda2 starts behind the end of the disk, and sdb3 is larger than the entire disk: Disk /dev/sdb: 14 MB, 14745600 bytes 1 heads, 29 sectors/track, 993 cylinders, total 28800 sectors Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 29 7800 3886 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 37801 45601 3900+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 15602 73402 28900+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb4 23403 28796 2697 83 Linux The kernel creates these completely invalid devices, which can not be accessed, or may lead to other unpredictable failures: grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size} /sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800 /sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29 /sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772 /sys/class/block/sdb2/start:37801 /sys/class/block/sdb2/size:7801 /sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602 /sys/class/block/sdb3/size:57801 /sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403 /sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394 With this patch, we ignore partitions which start behind the end of the disk, and limit partitions to the end of the disk if they pretend to be larger: grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size} /sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800 /sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29 /sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772 /sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602 /sys/class/block/sdb3/size:13198 /sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403 /sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394 These warnings are printed to the kernel log: sdb: p2 ignored, start 37801 is behind the end of the disk sdb: p3 size 57801 limited to end of disk Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* block: allow disk to have extended device numberTejun Heo2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that disk and partition handlings are mostly unified, it's easy to allow disk to have extended device number. This patch makes add_disk() use extended device number if disk->minors is zero. Both sd and ide-disk are updated to use this. * sd_format_disk_name() is implemented which can generically determine the drive name. This removes disk number restriction stemming from limited device names. * If sd index goes over SD_MAX_DISKS (which can be increased now BTW), sd simply doesn't initialize minors letting block layer choose extended device number. * If CONFIG_DEBUG_EXT_DEVT is set, both sd and ide-disk always set minors to 0 and use extended device numbers.

* block: replace @ext_minors with GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVTTejun Heo2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With previous changes, it's meaningless to limit the number of partitions. Replace @ext_minors with GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT such that setting the flag allows the disk to have maximum number of allowed partitions (only limited by the number of entries in parsed_partitions as determined by MAX_PART constant). This kills not-too-pretty alloc_disk_ext[_node]() functions and makes @minors parameter to alloc_disk[_node]() unnecessary. The parameter is left alone to avoid disturbing the users.

It handles part0 stats automatically and disk_round_stats() is killed. * part_{inc|dec}_in_fligh() is implemented which automatically updates part0 stats for parts other than part0. * disk_map_sector_rcu() is updated to return part0 if no part matches. Combined with the above changes, this makes NULL special case handling in callers unnecessary. * Separate stats show code paths for disk are collapsed into part stats show code paths. * Rename disk_stat_lock/unlock() to part_stat_lock/unlock() While at it, reposition stat handling macros a bit and add missing parentheses around macro parameters.

* block: introduce partition 0Tejun Heo2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | genhd and partition code handled disk and partitions separately. All information about the whole disk was in struct genhd and partitions in struct hd_struct. However, the whole disk (part0) and other partitions have a lot in common and the data structures end up having good number of common fields and thus separate code paths doing the same thing. Also, the partition array was indexed by partno - 1 which gets pretty confusing at times. This patch introduces partition 0 and makes the partition array indexed by partno. Following patches will unify the handling of disk and parts piece-by-piece. This patch also implements disk_partitionable() which tests whether a disk is partitionable. With coming dynamic partition array change, the most common usage of disk_max_parts() will be testing whether a disk is partitionable and the number of max partitions will become much less important.

* block: implement extended dev numbersTejun Heo2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement extended device numbers. A block driver can tell block layer that it wants to use extended device numbers. After the usual minor space is used up, block layer automatically allocates devt's from EXT_BLOCK_MAJOR. Currently only one major number is allocated for this but as the allocation is strictly on-demand, ~1mil minor space under it should suffice unless the system actually has more than ~1mil partitions and if that ever happens adding more majors to the extended devt area is easy. Due to internal implementation issues, the first partition can't be allocated on the extended area. In other words, genhd->minors should at least be 1. This limitation will be lifted by later changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
* block: fix diskstats accessTejun Heo2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters. It's unclear whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on entry as some callers don't do that. This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock() and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access). diskstats access should always be enclosed between the two functions. As such, there's no need for the versions which disables preemption. They're removed and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars. As an extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version unconverted. disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu argument to help RT. This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also collapses several preemption ops into one at others. Overall, the performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are very lightweight per-cpu ones.

* block: fix disk->part[] dereferencing raceTejun Heo2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | disk->part[] is protected by its matching bdev's lock. However, non-critical accesses like collecting stats and printing out sysfs and proc information used to be performed without any locking. As partitions can come and go dynamically, partitions can go away underneath those non-critical accesses. As some of those accesses are writes, this theoretically can lead to silent corruption. This patch fixes the race by using RCU for the partition array and dev reference counter to hold partitions. * Rename disk->part[] to disk->__part[] to make sure no one outside genhd layer proper accesses it directly. * Use RCU for disk->__part[] dereferencing. * Implement disk_{get|put}_part() which can be used to get and put partitions from gendisk respectively. * Iterators are implemented to help iterate through all partitions safely. * Functions which require RCU readlock are marked with _rcu suffix. * Use disk_put_part() in __blkdev_put() instead of directly putting the contained kobject.

* block: don't depend on consecutive minor spaceTejun Heo2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor. Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary. However, convert them for consistency. * Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing genhd->minors. * Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor space. * Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).

The failure path freed part_stats and p regardless of put_device() causing double free. * holders subdir holds reference to the disk device, so failure path should remove it to release resources properly which was missing.

* fat: detect media without partition table correctlyFrank Seidel2008-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I received a complaint that some FAT formated medias (e.g. sd memory cards) trigger a "unknown partition table" message even though there is no partition table and they work correctly, while in general (when e.g. formated with mkdosfs or even Windows Vista) this message is not shown. Currently this seems only to happen when the medias get formatted with Windows XP (and possibly Win 2000). Then the boot indicator byte contains garbage (part of text message) and so do the other parts checked by msdos_paritition which then later triggers this message. References: novell bug #364365 Most fat formatted media without partition table contains zeros in the boot indication and the other tested bytes and so falls through the checks in msdos_partition, leading it to return with 1 (all is fine). But some (e.g. WinXP formatted) fat fomated medias don't use boot_ind and so the check fails and causes a "unkown partition table" warning eventhough there is none and everything would be fine. This additional check directly verifies if there is a fat formatted medium without a partition table.

For compatibility /sys/block is created and contains symlinks to the disks. /sys/class/block |-- sda -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda |-- sda1 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda1 |-- sda10 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda10 |-- sda5 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda5 |-- sda6 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda6 |-- sda7 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda7 |-- sda8 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda8 |-- sda9 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda9 `-- sr0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 /sys/block/ |-- sda -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda `-- sr0 -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* kset: convert block_subsys to use kset_createGreg Kroah-Hartman2008-01-24
| | | | | | | | | | Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically. We also rename block_subsys to block_kset to catch all users of this symbol with a build error instead of an easy-to-ignore build warning.

* kobjects: fix up improper use of the kobject name fieldGreg Kroah-Hartman2007-10-12
| | | | | | | A number of different drivers incorrect access the kobject name field directly. This is not correct as the name might not be in the array. Use the proper accessor function instead.
* [PARTITION]: Sun/Solaris VTOC table correctionsMark Fortescue2007-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | Start doing VTOC validation before using its contents. The validation is adjusted so as not to break existing setups that do not set the VTOC version, sanity and partition count entries. VTOC tables with more than 8 partitions will NOT be used.

* [PARTITION] MSDOS: Fix Sun num_partitions handling.Mark Fortescue2007-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | | Correct the Solaris x86 number of partitions (slices) is a way that is backward compatible with the earlier size. This works without a new VTOC structure definition as the timestamp and v_asciilabel fields in the VTOC are not used by the kernel yet.

* Fix LDM for new field in the VOL5 VBLK.Anton Altaparmakov2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Teach LDM about a new field encountered with Windows Vista. This fixes LDM for people using Vista who have disabled drive letter assignment from one or more volumes. Doing this introduces a so far unknown field in the LDM database in the VOL5 VBLK structure which causes the LDM driver to fail to parse the VBLK structure and hence LDM fails to parse the disk altogether. This patch teaches the driver about this field. Thanks got to Ashton Mills <amills@iinet.com.au> for reporting the problem and working with me on getting it fixed. It is now working for him.
