block: Convert drivers to immutable biovecs

2013-11-24T06:33:51+00:00

Now that we've got a mechanism for immutable biovecs -
bi_iter.bi_bvec_done - we need to convert drivers to use primitives that
respect it instead of using the bvec array directly.

block: Abstract out bvec iterator

2013-11-24T06:33:47+00:00

Immutable biovecs are going to require an explicit iterator. To
implement immutable bvecs, a later patch is going to add a bi_bvec_done
member to this struct; for now, this patch effectively just renames
things.

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.

blk: pass from_schedule to non-request unplug functions.

2012-07-31T07:08:15+00:00

This will allow md/raid to know why the unplug was called,
and will be able to act according - if !from_schedule it
is safe to perform tasks which could themselves schedule.

blk: centralize non-request unplug handling.

2012-07-31T07:08:14+00:00

Both md and umem has similar code for getting notified on an
blk_finish_plug event.
Centralize this code in block/ and allow each driver to
provide its distinctive difference.

umem: fix up unplugging

2012-06-13T19:17:21+00:00

Fix a regression introduced by 7eaceaccab5f40 ("block: remove per-queue
plugging").  In that patch, Jens removed the whole mm_unplug_device()
function, which used to be the trigger to make umem start to work.

We need to implement unplugging to make umem start to work, or I/O will
never be triggered.

block: remove support for bio remapping from ->make_request

2011-09-12T10:12:01+00:00

There is very little benefit in allowing to let a ->make_request
instance update the bios device and sector and loop around it in
__generic_make_request when we can archive the same through calling
generic_make_request from the driver and letting the loop in
generic_make_request handle it.

Note that various drivers got the return value from ->make_request and
returned non-zero values for errors.

block: remove per-queue plugging

2011-03-10T07:52:07+00:00

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging,
and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that.
So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page().

umem: Drop dummy ->media_changed()

2011-03-09T18:54:28+00:00

umem doesn't implement media changed detection and there's no need to
implement dummy callback anymore.  Remove it.
