virtio-blk: use ida to allocate disk index

2011-11-02T01:11:02+00:00

Based on a patch by Mark Wu 

Current index allocation in virtio-blk is based on a monotonically
increasing variable "index". This means we'll run out of numbers
after a while.  It also could cause confusion about the disk
name in the case of hot-plugging disks.
Change virtio-blk to use ida to allocate index, instead.

block: Fix files that are modules and hence need module.h

2011-10-31T23:31:13+00:00

We want to remove the implicit everywhere presence of module.h
so fix up the people relying on that implicit presence in advance.

drivers, block: virtio_blk: Replace cryptic number with the macro

2011-05-30T01:44:13+00:00

It is easier to figure out the context by reading SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE
instead of plain '96'.

virtio_blk: allow re-reading config space at runtime

2011-05-30T01:44:13+00:00

Wire up the virtio_driver config_changed method to get notified about
config changes raised by the host.  For now we just re-read the device
size to support online resizing of devices, but once we add more
attributes that might be changeable they could be added as well.

Note that the config_changed method is called from irq context, so
we'll have to use the workqueue infrastructure to provide us a proper
user context for our changes.

virtio_blk: remove BKL leftovers

2010-10-21T07:14:05+00:00

Remove the BKL usage added in "block: push down BKL into .locked_ioctl".
Virtio-blk doesn't use the BKL for anything, and doesn't implement any
ioctl command by itself, but only uses the generic scsi_cmd_ioctl
which is fine without the BKL.

virtio_blk: drop REQ_HARDBARRIER support

2010-09-10T10:35:37+00:00

Remove now unused REQ_HARDBARRIER support.  virtio_blk already
supports REQ_FLUSH and the usefulness of REQ_FUA for virtio_blk is
questionable at this point, so there's nothing else to do to support
new REQ_FLUSH/FUA interface.
