[PATCH] revert floppy-fix-read-only-handling

2005-11-24T00:08:38+00:00

This fix causes problems on the very first floppy access - we haven't yet
talked to the FDC so we don't know which state the write-protect tab is in.

Revert for now.

[PATCH] add a file_permission helper

2005-11-09T15:55:59+00:00

A few more callers of permission() just want to check for a different access
pattern on an already open file.  This patch adds a wrapper for permission()
that takes a file in preparation of per-mount read-only support and to clean
up the callers a little.  The helper is not intended for new code, everything
without the interface set in stone should use vfs_permission()

[PATCH] fix floppy.c to store correct ro/rw status in underlying gendisk

2005-11-09T15:55:53+00:00

Evgeny Stambulchik found that doing the following always worked:

# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/
mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
# mount -o remount,rw /mnt/floppy
# echo $?
0

This is the case because the block device /dev/fd0 is writeable but the
floppy disk is marked protected.  A fix is to simply have floppy_open mark
the underlying gendisk policy according to reality (since the VFS doesn't
provide a way for do_remount_sb to inquire as to the current device
status).

[PATCH] Floppy: Add cmos attribute to floppy driver

2005-09-05T23:03:10+00:00

Currently only a device 'fdX' shows up in sysfs; the other possible
device for this drive (like fd0h1440 etc) must be guessed from there.

This patch corrects the floppy driver to create a platform device for
each floppy found; each platform device also has an attribute 'cmos'
which represents the cmos type for this drive. From this attribute the
other possible device types can be computed.

[PATCH] remove do_sync parameter from __invalidate_device

The only caller that ever sets it can call fsync_bdev itself easily.  Also
update some comments.
