2008-10-09	block: Switch blk_integrity_compare from bdev to gendisk	Martin K. Petersen	1	-14/+14
	The DM and MD integrity support now depends on being able to use gendisks instead of block_devices when comparing integrity profiles. Change function parameters accordingly. Also update comparison logic so that two NULL profiles are a valid configuration. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-10-09	block: Fix double put in blk_integrity_unregister	Martin K. Petersen	1	-1/+1
	- kobject_del already puts the parent. - Set integrity profile to NULL to prevent stale data. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-10-09	block: implement and use {disk\|part}_to_dev()	Tejun Heo	1	-2/+3
	Implement {disk\|part}_to_dev() and use them to access generic device instead of directly dereferencing {disk\|part}->dev. To make sure no user is left behind, rename generic devices fields to __dev. This is in preparation of unifying partition 0 handling with other partitions.

2008-07-03	block: integrity flags can't use bit ops on unsigned short	Jens Axboe	1	-10/+7
	Just use normal open coded bit operations instead, they need not be atomic. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2008-07-03	block: Block layer data integrity support	Martin K. Petersen	1	-0/+382
	Some block devices support verifying the integrity of requests by way of checksums or other protection information that is submitted along with the I/O. This patch implements support for generating and verifying integrity metadata, as well as correctly merging, splitting and cloning bios and requests that have this extra information attached. See Documentation/block/data-integrity.txt for more information. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen <martin.petersen@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
