[PATCH] drivers/block: Use ARRAY_SIZE macro

2006-01-09T04:14:08+00:00

Use ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]) and remove a duplicate of ARRAY_SIZE. Some trailing whitespaces are also removed. drivers/block/acsi* has been left out as it's marked BROKEN.

[PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method

2006-01-09T04:13:54+00:00

HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now. [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard sector size.

[BLOCK] add @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn()

2006-01-06T08:49:03+00:00

add @uptodate argument to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn(). there's no generic way to pass error code to request completion function, making generic error handling of non-fs request difficult (rq->errors is driver-specific and each driver uses it differently). this patch adds @uptodate to end_that_request_last() and @error to rq_end_io_fn(). for fs requests, this doesn't really matter, so just using the same uptodate argument used in the last call to end_that_request_first() should suffice. imho, this can also help the generic command-carrying request jens is working on.

[PATCH] revert floppy-fix-read-only-handling

2005-11-24T00:08:38+00:00

This fix causes problems on the very first floppy access - we haven't yet talked to the FDC so we don't know which state the write-protect tab is in. Revert for now. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] add a file_permission helper

2005-11-09T15:55:59+00:00

A few more callers of permission() just want to check for a different access pattern on an already open file. This patch adds a wrapper for permission() that takes a file in preparation of per-mount read-only support and to clean up the callers a little. The helper is not intended for new code, everything without the interface set in stone should use vfs_permission() Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] fix floppy.c to store correct ro/rw status in underlying gendisk

2005-11-09T15:55:53+00:00

Evgeny Stambulchik found that doing the following always worked: # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/ mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only # mount -o remount,rw /mnt/floppy # echo $? 0 This is the case because the block device /dev/fd0 is writeable but the floppy disk is marked protected. A fix is to simply have floppy_open mark the underlying gendisk policy according to reality (since the VFS doesn't provide a way for do_remount_sb to inquire as to the current device status).
