block: don't set bounce limit in blk_init_queue

2017-06-27T18:13:45+00:00

Instead move it to the callers.  Those that either don't use bio_data() or
page_address() or are specific to architectures that do not support highmem
are skipped.

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.

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.

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.

drivers/block/swim.c: remove unnecessary platform_set_drvdata()

2013-09-11T22:56:59+00:00

The driver core clears the driver data to NULL after device_release or
on probe failure.  Thus, it is not needed to manually clear the device
driver data to NULL.

swim: Release memory region after incorrect return/goto

2013-06-24T17:44:19+00:00

The code uses

	return foo;
	goto err_type;

when instead the form should have been

	ret = foo;
	goto err_type;

Here this causes a useful release_mem_region to be skipped.

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.

swim: Add missing spinlock init

It doesn't seem this spinlock was properly initialized.

Drivers: block: remove __dev* attributes.

2013-01-03T23:57:15+00:00

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option.  As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.

This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.
