UBI block does not work correctly.

UBI: block: Set disk_capacity out of the mutex

2014-07-28T15:52:10+00:00

There's no need to set the disk capacity with the mutex held, so this
commit takes the variable setting out of the mutex. This simplifies
the disk capacity fix for very large volumes in a follow up commit.

UBI: block: Make ubiblock_resize return something

2014-07-28T15:52:06+00:00

Currently, ubiblock_resize() can fail if the device is not found
in the list. This commit changes the return type, so the function can
return something meaningful on error paths.

Merge tag 'upstream-3.16-rc1-v2' of git://git.infradead.org/linux-ubifs

2014-06-10T15:55:46+00:00

Pull UBIFS updates from Artem Bityutskiy:
 "This contains several UBIFS fixes.  One of them fixes a race condition
  between the mmap page fault path and fsync.  Another just removes a
  bogus assertion from the UBIFS memory shrinker.

  UBIFS also started honoring the MS_SILENT mount flag, so now it won't
  print many I/O errors when user-space just tries to probe for the FS.

  Rest of the changes are rather minor UBI/UBIFS fixes, improvements,
  and clean-ups"

Merge branch 'for-3.16/core' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block into next

2014-06-02T16:29:34+00:00

Pull block core updates from Jens Axboe:
 "It's a big(ish) round this time, lots of development effort has gone
  into blk-mq in the last 3 months.  Generally we're heading to where
  3.16 will be a feature complete and performant blk-mq.  scsi-mq is
  progressing nicely and will hopefully be in 3.17.  A nvme port is in
  progress, and the Micron pci-e flash driver, mtip32xx, is converted
  and will be sent in with the driver pull request for 3.16.

  This pull request contains:

   - Lots of prep and support patches for scsi-mq have been integrated.
     All from Christoph.

   - API and code cleanups for blk-mq from Christoph.

   - Lots of good corner case and error handling cleanup fixes for
     blk-mq from Ming Lei.

   - A flew of blk-mq updates from me:

     * Provide strict mappings so that the driver can rely on the CPU
       to queue mapping.  This enables optimizations in the driver.

     * Provided a bitmap tagging instead of percpu_ida, which never
       really worked well for blk-mq.  percpu_ida relies on the fact
       that we have a lot more tags available than we really need, it
       fails miserably for cases where we exhaust (or are close to
       exhausting) the tag space.

     * Provide sane support for shared tag maps, as utilized by scsi-mq

     * Various fixes for IO timeouts.

     * API cleanups, and lots of perf tweaks and optimizations.

   - Remove 'buffer' from struct request.  This is ancient code, from
     when requests were always virtually mapped.  Kill it, to reclaim
     some space in struct request.  From me.

   - Remove 'magic' from blk_plug.  Since we store these on the stack
     and since we've never caught any actual bugs with this, lets just
     get rid of it.  From me.

   - Only call part_in_flight() once for IO completion, as includes two
     atomic reads.  Hopefully we'll get a better implementation soon, as
     the part IO stats are now one of the more expensive parts of doing
     IO on blk-mq.  From me.

   - File migration of block code from {mm,fs}/ to block/.  This
     includes bio.c, bio-integrity.c, bounce.c, and ioprio.c.  From me,
     from a discussion on lkml.

  That should describe the meat of the pull request.  Also has various
  little fixes and cleanups from Dave Jones, Shaohua Li, Duan Jiong,
  Fengguang Wu, Fabian Frederick, Randy Dunlap, Robert Elliott, and Sam
  Bradshaw"

UBI: block: Fix error path on alloc_workqueue failure

Otherwise we'd return a random value if allocation of the workqueue fails.

UBI: avoid workqueue format string leak

When building the name for the workqueue thread, make sure a format
string cannot leak in from the disk name.

block: remove struct request buffer member

2014-04-15T20:03:02+00:00

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
pointing at anything valid.

Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().

For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
in the bio.

UBI: block: Remove __initdata from ubiblock_param_ops

2014-03-21T17:37:03+00:00

You cannot mark these parameters as __initdata.
Otherwise the data is gone upon module exit.

UBI: rename block device ioctls

2014-03-05T13:49:15+00:00

Rename the UBI_IOCVOLATTBLK and UBI_IOCVOLDETBLK to UBI_IOCVOLCRBLK and
UBI_IOCVOLRMBLK, because we do not use terms "attach" and "detach" for the R/O
block devices on top of UBI volumes. Instead, we use terms "create" and
"remove". This patch also amends the related commentaries.
