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.

mspro_block: remove pointless prep_fn

This driver will never see non-fs requests, and doesn't do anything else in the prep_fn. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: split out request-only flags into a new namespace

2016-10-28T14:45:17+00:00

A lot of the REQ_* flags are only used on struct requests, and only of use to the block layer and a few drivers that dig into struct request internals. This patch adds a new req_flags_t rq_flags field to struct request for them, and thus dramatically shrinks the number of common requests. It also removes the unfortunate situation where we have to fit the fields from the same enum into 32 bits for struct bio and 64 bits for struct request.

memstick: don't allow REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC requests

2016-07-20T23:38:27+00:00

There is no code to issue or handle REQ_TYPE_BLOCK_PC request in the memstick drivers, so remove the bogus conditional. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: convert to device_add_disk()

2016-06-27T19:26:08+00:00

For block drivers that specify a parent device, convert them to use device_add_disk(). This conversion was done with the following semantic patch: @@ struct gendisk *disk; expression E; @@ - disk->driverfs_dev = E; ... - add_disk(disk); + device_add_disk(E, disk); @@ struct gendisk *disk; expression E1, E2; @@ - disk->driverfs_dev = E1; ... E2 = disk; ... - add_disk(E2); + device_add_disk(E1, E2); ...plus some manual fixups for a few missed conversions. Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Keith Busch Cc: Michael S.

drivers/memstick/core/mspro_block: use kmemdup

2016-05-24T00:04:14+00:00

Use kmemdup when some other buffer is immediately copied into allocated region. It replaces call to allocation followed by memcpy, by a single call to kmemdup.

memstick: mspro_block: add missing curly braces

2015-04-17T13:04:09+00:00

Using the indenting we can see the curly braces were obviously intended. This is a static checker fix, but my guess is that we don't read enough bytes, because we don't calculate "t_len" correctly.

drivers/memstick/core/mspro_block.c: fix attributes array allocation

2013-11-13T03:09:35+00:00

attrs field of attribute_group structure is a pointer to a pointer (as in an array of pointers) rather than pointer to attribute struct (as in an array of structures), so when allocating size of the pointer sholud be used instead of the structure it is pointing to. While at it, also change the call to use kcalloc rather than kzalloc.

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
