block: silently forbid sending any ioctl to a partition

2018-01-10T19:30:37+00:00

After the first few months, the message has not led to many bug reports. It's been almost five years now, and in practice the main source of it seems to be MTIOCGET that someone is using to detect tape devices. While we could whitelist it just like CDROM_GET_CAPABILITY, this patch just removes the message altogether. The patch also removes the "safe but not very useful" ioctl whitelist, as suggested by Christoph. I doubt anything is using most of those ioctls _in general_, let alone on a partition.

block: Fix kernel-doc warnings reported when building with W=1

2018-01-09T18:15:17+00:00

Commit 3a025e1d1c2e ("Add optional check for bad kernel-doc comments") causes W=1 the kernel-doc script to be run and thereby causes several new warnings to appear when building the kernel with W=1. Fix the block layer kernel-doc headers such that the block layer again builds cleanly with W=1. Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche Cc: Martin K.

block: Change argument type of scsi_req_init()

2017-06-21T01:27:14+00:00

Since scsi_req_init() works on a struct scsi_request, change the argument type into struct scsi_request *. Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Reviewed-by: Martin K. Petersen Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: Make most scsi_req_init() calls implicit

2017-06-21T01:27:14+00:00

Instead of explicitly calling scsi_req_init() after blk_get_request(), call that function from inside blk_get_request(). Add an .initialize_rq_fn() callback function to the block drivers that need it. Merge the IDE .init_rq_fn() function into .initialize_rq_fn() because it is too small to keep it as a separate function. Keep the scsi_req_init() call in ide_prep_sense() because it follows a blk_rq_init() call.

scsi: introduce a result field in struct scsi_request

2017-04-20T18:16:10+00:00

This passes on the scsi_cmnd result field to users of passthrough requests. Currently we abuse req->errors for this purpose, but that field will go away in its current form. Note that the old IDE code abuses the errors field in very creative ways and stores all kinds of different values in it. I didn't dare to touch this magic, so the abuses are brought forward 1:1.

block: remove the blk_execute_rq return value

2017-04-20T18:16:10+00:00

The function only returns -EIO if rq->errors is non-zero, which is not very useful and lets a large number of callers ignore the return value. Just let the callers figure out their error themselves.

block: fold cmd_type into the REQ_OP_ space

2017-01-31T21:00:44+00:00

Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it all into the operations. The little caveat here is that previously cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough operations. Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

And require all drivers that want to support BLOCK_PC to allocate it as the first thing of their private data. To support this the legacy IDE and BSG code is switched to set cmd_size on their queues to let the block layer allocate the additional space. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
