* 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.

* block: make partition array dynamicTejun Heo2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | disk->__part used to be statically allocated to the maximum possible number of partitions. This patch makes partition array allocation dynamic. The added overhead is minimal as only real change is one memory dereference changed to RCU one. This saves both a bit of memory and cpu cycles iterating through unoccupied slots and makes increasing partition limit easier.

* block: move stats from disk to part0Tejun Heo2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move stats related fields - stamp, in_flight, dkstats - from disk to part0 and unify stat handling such that... * part_stat_*() now updates part0 together if the specified partition is not part0. ie. part_stat_*() are now essentially all_stat_*(). * {disk|all}_stat_*() are gone. * part_round_stats() is updated similary. 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.

This patch does the followings to make printouts pretty. * Adapt print formats such that large minors don't break the formatting. * For extended MAJ:MIN, %02x%02x for MAJ:MIN used in printk_all_partitions() doesn't cut it anymore.

* 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).

* driver-core: use klist for class device list and implement iteratorTejun Heo2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Iterating over entries using callback usually isn't too fun especially when the entry being iterated over can't be manipulated freely. This patch converts class->p->class_devices to klist and implements class device iterator so that the users can freely build their own control structure. The users are also free to call back into class code without worrying about locking. class_for_each_device() and class_find_device() are converted to use the new iterators, so their users don't have to worry about locking anymore either. Note: This depends on klist-dont-iterate-over-deleted-entries patch because class_intf->add/remove_dev() depends on proper synchronization with device removal.

* klist: don't iterate over deleted entriesTejun Heo2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A klist entry is kept on the list till all its current iterations are finished; however, a new iteration after deletion also iterates over deleted entries as long as their reference count stays above zero. This causes problems for cases where there are users which iterate over the list while synchronized against list manipulations and natuarally expect already deleted entries to not show up during iteration. This patch implements dead flag which gets set on deletion so that iteration can skip already deleted entries. The dead flag piggy backs on the lowest bit of knode->n_klist and only visible to klist implementation proper. While at it, drop klist_iter->i_head as it's redundant and doesn't offer anything in semantics or performance wise as klist_iter->i_klist is dereferenced on every iteration anyway.

* virtio_blk: use a wrapper function to access io context information of IO ↵Fernando Luis Vázquez Cao2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | requests struct request has an ioprio member but it is never updated because currently bios do not hold io context information. The implication of this is that virtio_blk ends up passing useless information to the backend driver. That said, some IO schedulers such as CFQ do store io context information in struct request, but use private members for that, which means that that information cannot be directly accessed in a IO scheduler-independent way. This patch adds a function to obtain the ioprio of a request. We should avoid accessing ioprio directly and use this function instead, so that its users do not have to care about future changes in block layer structures or what the currently active IO controller is. This patch does not introduce any functional changes but paves the way for future clean-ups and enhancements.

* Add 'discard' request handlingDavid Woodhouse2008-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some block devices benefit from a hint that they can forget the contents of certain sectors. Add basic support for this to the block core, along with a 'blkdev_issue_discard()' helper function which issues such requests. The caller doesn't get to provide an end_io functio, since blkdev_issue_discard() will automatically split the request up into multiple bios if appropriate. Neither does the function wait for completion -- it's expected that callers won't care about when, or even _if_, the request completes. It's only a hint to the device anyway. By definition, the file system doesn't _care_ about these sectors any more.

| * hrtimer: prevent migration of per CPU hrtimersThomas Gleixner2008-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: per CPU hrtimers can be migrated from a dead CPU The hrtimer code has no knowledge about per CPU timers, but we need to prevent the migration of such timers and warn when such a timer is active at migration time. Explicitely mark the timers as per CPU and use a more understandable mode descriptor for the interrupts safe unlocked callback mode, which is used by hrtimer_sleeper and the scheduler code.

| * hrtimer: mark migration stateThomas Gleixner2008-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Impact: during migration active hrtimers can be seen as inactive The migration code removes the hrtimers from the queues of the dead CPU and sets the state temporary to INACTIVE. The enqueue code sets it to ACTIVE/PENDING again. Prevent that the wrong state can be seen by using a separate migration state bit. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
* | kgdb, x86_64: fix PS CS SS registers in gdb serialJason Wessel2008-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On x86_64 the gdb serial register structure defines the PS (also known as eflags), CS and SS registers as 4 bytes entities. This patch splits the x86_64 regnames enum into a 32 and 64 version to account for the 32 bit entities in the gdb serial packets. Also the program counter is properly filled in for the sleeping threads. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
* | kgdb, x86_64: gdb serial has BX and DX reversedJason Wessel2008-09-26
|/ | | | | | | The BX and DX registers in the gdb serial register packet need to be flipped for gdb to receive the correct data. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
