powerpc: Remove some of the legacy iSeries specific device drivers

2012-03-15T22:28:05+00:00

These drivers are specific to the PowerPC legacy iSeries platform and
their Kconfig is specified in arch/powerpc.  Legacy iSeries is being
removed, so these drivers can no longer be selected.

block: fix mismerge of the DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE removal

2011-06-01T20:29:19+00:00

Jens' back-merge commit 698567f3fa79 ("Merge commit 'v2.6.39' into
for-2.6.40/core") was incorrectly done, and re-introduced the
DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE lines that had been removed earlier in commits

 - 9fd097b14918 ("block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for
   legacy/fringe drivers")

 - 7eec77a1816a ("ide: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for ide-gd
   and ide-cd")

because of conflicts with the "g->flags" updates near-by by commit
d4dc210f69bc ("block: don't block events on excl write for non-optical
devices")

As a result, we re-introduced the hanging behavior due to infinite disk
media change reports.

Tssk, tssk, people! Don't do back-merges at all, and *definitely* don't
do them to hide merge conflicts from me - especially as I'm likely
better at merging them than you are, since I do so many merges.

block: don't block events on excl write for non-optical devices

2011-04-21T18:54:46+00:00

Disk event code automatically blocks events on excl write.  This is
primarily to avoid issuing polling commands while burning is in
progress.  This behavior doesn't fit other types of devices with
removeable media where polling commands don't have adverse side
effects and door locking usually doesn't exist.

This patch introduces new genhd flag which controls the auto-blocking
behavior and uses it to enable auto-blocking only on optical devices.

Note for stable: 2.6.38 and later only

gdrom,viocd: Convert to bdops->check_events()

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

Convert gdrom and viocd from ->media_changed() to ->check_events().

It's unclear how the conditions are cleared and it's possible that it
may generate spurious events when polled.

block: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex

2010-10-05T13:01:10+00:00

The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel
calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers
were already using the BKL before.

This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes.
Still need to check whether this is safe to do.

file=$1
name=$2
if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then
    if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then
            sed -i '/include.*/d' ${file}
    else
            sed -i 's/include.*.*$/include /g' ${file}
    fi
    sed -i ${file} \
        -e "/^#include.*linux.mutex.h/,$ {
                1,/^\(static\|int\|long\)/ {
                     /^\(static\|int\|long\)/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex);

} }"  \

block: push down BKL into .open and .release

2010-08-07T16:25:34+00:00

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.

This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.

The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.

Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

block: push down BKL into .locked_ioctl

2010-08-07T16:25:00+00:00

As a preparation for the removal of the big kernel
lock in the block layer, this removes the BKL
from the common ioctl handling code, moving it
into every single driver still using it.

block: remove wrappers for request type/flags

2010-08-07T16:17:56+00:00

Remove all the trivial wrappers for the cmd_type and cmd_flags fields in
struct requests.  This allows much easier grepping for different request
types instead of unwinding through macros.

of: Always use 'struct device.of_node' to get device node pointer.

2010-05-18T22:10:44+00:00

The following structure elements duplicate the information in
'struct device.of_node' and so are being eliminated.  This patch
makes all readers of these elements use device.of_node instead.

(struct of_device *)->node
(struct dev_archdata *)->prom_node (sparc)
(struct dev_archdata *)->of_node (powerpc & microblaze)
