The legay ide driver has been replace with libata starting in 2003 and has
been scheduled for removal for a while.  Finally kill it off so that we
can start cleaning up various bits of cruft it forced on the block layer.

ide_toggle_bounce did select various strange block bounce limits, including
not bouncing at all as soon as an iommu is present in the system.  Given
that the dma_map routines now handle any required bounce buffering except
for ISA DMA, and the ide code already must handle either ISA DMA or highmem
at least for iommu equipped systems we can get rid of the block layer
bounce limit setting entirely.

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings.  This patch
instead introduces a new  blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning.  Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

This passes on the scsi_cmnd result field to users of passthrough
requests.  Currently we abuse req-&gt;errors for this purpose, but that
field will go away in its current form.

Note that the old IDE code abuses the errors field in very creative
ways and stores all kinds of different values in it.  I didn't dare
to touch this magic, so the abuses are brought forward 1:1.

<title>ide: clean up timed out request handling</title>

8f6205cd572fece673da0255d74843680f67f879 introduced a bug where a
timed out DMA request is never requeued and lost.
6072f7491f5ef391a575e18a1165e72a3eef1601 fixed this by making
ide_dma_timeout_retry() requeue the request itself.  While the fix is
correct, it makes DMA and non-DMA paths asymmetric regarding how the
in flight request is requeued.

As long as hwif-&gt;rq is set, the IDE driver is assuming ownership of
the request and the request should either be completed or requeued
when clearing hwif-&gt;rq.  In the timeout path, the ide driver holds
onto the request as long as the recovery action (ie. reset) is in
progress and clears it after the state machine is stopped (ide_stopped
return), so the existing requeueing logic is correct.  The bug
occurred because ide_dma_timeout_retry() explicitly clears hwif-&gt;rq
without requeueing it.

ide_dma_timeout_retry() is called only by ide_timer_expiry() and
returns ide_started only when ide_error() would return it - ie. after
reset state machine has started in which case the state machine will
eventually end up executing the ide_stopped path in ide_timer_expiry()
after reset protocol is complete.  So, there is no need to clear
hwif-&gt;rq from ide_dma_timeout_retry().  ide_timer_expiry() will handle
it the same way as PIO timeout path.

Kill hwif-&gt;rq clearing and requeueing from ide_dma_timeout_retry() and
let ide_timer_expiry() deal with it.  The end result should remain the
same.

grepping shows ide_dma_timeout_retry() is the only site which clears
hwif-&gt;rq without taking care of the request, so there shouldn't be
similar fallouts.

I noticed that my KVM virtual machines were experiencing IDE
issues resulting in processes stuck on waiting for buffers to
complete.

The root cause is of course race conditions in the ancient qemu
backend that I'm using.  However, the fact that the guest isn't
recovering is a bug.

I've tracked it down to the change made last year to dequeue
requests at the start rather than at the end in the IDE layer.

    ide: dequeue in-flight request

The problem is that the function ide_dma_timeout_retry does not
requeue the current request, causing one request to be lost for
each DMA timeout.

This patch fixes this by requeueing the request.

<title>include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h</title>

<id>5a0e3ad6af8660be21ca98a971cd00f331318c05</id>
<content type='text'>
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

There are some broken devices that report multiple DMA xfer modes
enabled at once (ATA spec doesn't allow it) but otherwise work fine
with DMA so just delete ide_id_dma_bug().

[ As discovered by detective work by Frans and Bart, due to how
  handling of the ID block was handled before commit c419993
  ("ide-iops: only clear DMA words on setting DMA mode") this
  check was always seeing zeros in the fields or other similar
  garbage.  Therefore this check wasn't actually checking anything.
  Now that the tests actually check the real bits, all we see are
  devices that trigger the check yet work perfectly fine, therefore
  killing this useless check is the best thing to do. -DaveM ]
