genhd: Rename get_disk() to get_disk_and_module()

2018-02-26T16:48:42+00:00

Rename get_disk() to get_disk_and_module() to make sure what the function does. It's not a great name but at least it is now clear that put_disk() is not it's counterpart. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

amifloppy: Convert timers to use timer_setup()

2017-11-15T03:11:57+00:00

This converts the amifloppy driver to pass the timer pointer to the callback instead of the drive number (and flags). It eliminates the decusagecounter flag, as it was unused, and drops the ininterrupt flag which appeared to be a needless optimization. The drive can then be calculated from the offset of the timer in the drive timer array. Additionally moves to a static data variable instead of the soon-to-be-gone timer->data field.

timer: Remove meaningless .data/.function assignments

2017-10-17T15:37:36+00:00

Several timer users needlessly reset their .function/.data fields during their timer callback, but nothing else changes them. Some users do not use their .data field at all. Each instance is removed here.

block: introduce new block status code type

2017-06-09T15:27:32+00:00

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later. For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging fruite to improve it. blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al: PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*' sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \ $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h) to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

block: drop owner assignment from platform_drivers

2014-10-20T14:20:18+00:00

A platform_driver does not need to set an owner, it will be populated by the driver core. Signed-off-by: Wolfram Sang

block: remove struct request buffer member

2014-04-15T20:03:02+00:00

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago, most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't pointing at anything valid. Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data(). For the discard payload use case, just reference the page in the bio. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

tree-wide: use reinit_completion instead of INIT_COMPLETION

2013-11-15T00:32:21+00:00

Use this new function to make code more comprehensible, since we are reinitialzing the completion, not initializing.

block_device_operations->release() should return void

2013-05-07T06:16:21+00:00

The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those only in a couple of drivers) *and* it would've been lost on the way out anyway, even if something tried to pass something meaningful. Just don't bother. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

fs: move code out of buffer.c

2012-01-04T03:54:07+00:00

Move invalidate_bdev, block_sync_page into fs/block_dev.c. Export kill_bdev as well, so brd doesn't have to open code it. Reduce buffer_head.h requirement accordingly. Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit obsolete to bother moving. The small comment replacing it says enough.
