[ Upstream commit 296dcc40f2f2e402facf7cd26cf3f2c8f4b17d47 ]

When the block device is opened with FMODE_EXCL, ref_count is set to -1.
This value doesn't get reset when the device is closed which means the
device cannot be opened again. Fix this by checking for refcount &lt;= 0
in the release method.

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-&gt;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.

interruptible_sleep_on is racy and going away. This replaces the one
caller in the swim3 driver with the equivalent race-free
wait_event_interruptible call. Since we're here already, this
also fixes the case where we get interrupted from atomic context,
which used to just spin in the loop.

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.

<title>Drivers: block: remove __dev* attributes.</title>

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.

<title>block/swim3: Locking fixes</title>

<content type='text'>
The old PowerMac swim3 driver has some "interesting" locking issues,
using a private lock and failing to lock the queue before completing
requests, which triggered WARN_ONs among others.

This rips out the private lock, makes everything operate under the
block queue lock, and generally makes things simpler.

We used to also share a queue between the two possible instances which
was problematic since we might pick the wrong controller in some cases,
so make the queue and the current request per-instance and use
queuedata to point to our private data which is a lot cleaner.

We still share the queue lock but then, it's nearly impossible to actually
use 2 swim3's simultaneously: one would need to have a Wallstreet
PowerBook, the only machine afaik with two of these on the motherboard,
and populate both hotswap bays with a floppy drive (the machine ships
only with one), so nobody cares...

While at it, add a little fix to clear up stale interrupts when loading
the driver or plugging a floppy drive in a bay.

In-kernel disk event polling doesn't matter for legacy/fringe drivers
and may lead to infinite event loop if -&gt;check_events() implementation
generates events on level condition instead of edge.

Now that block layer supports suppressing exporting unlisted events,
simply leaving disk-&gt;events cleared allows these drivers to keep the
internal revalidation behavior intact while avoiding weird
interactions with userland event handler.
