block: push down BKL into .open and .release

2010-08-07T16:25:34+00:00

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.

This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.

The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.

Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

block: Consolidate phys_segment and hw_segment limits

2010-02-26T12:58:08+00:00

Except for SCSI no device drivers distinguish between physical and
hardware segment limits.  Consolidate the two into a single segment
limit.

block: Rename blk_queue_max_sectors to blk_queue_max_hw_sectors

2010-02-26T12:58:08+00:00

The block layer calling convention is blk_queue_.
blk_queue_max_sectors predates this practice, leading to some confusion.
Rename the function to appropriately reflect that its intended use is to
set max_hw_sectors.

Also introduce a temporary wrapper for backwards compability.  This can
be removed after the merge window is closed.

block: make PCI device id constant

2010-01-11T13:31:26+00:00

The id_table field of the struct pci_driver is constant in 
so it is worth to make the initialization data also constant.

The semantic match that finds this kind of pattern is as follows:

drivers/block/DAC960.c: use DAC960_V2_Controller

2009-12-22T08:12:48+00:00

DAC960_LP_Controller and DAC960_V2_Controller have the same value, but
elsewhere it is DAC960_V1_Controller or DAC960_V2_Controller that is used
in the FirmwareType field.
