[S390] partitions: fix build error in ibm partition detection code

2010-08-13T08:06:55+00:00

9c867fbe "partitions: fix sometimes unreadable partition strings" coverted
one line within the ibm partition code incorrectly. Fix this to get rid of
a build error.

fs/partitions/ibm.c: In function 'ibm_partition':
[...]
fs/partitions/ibm.c:185: error: too many arguments to function 'strlcat'

partitions: fix sometimes unreadable partition strings

2010-08-11T15:59:20+00:00

Fix this garbage happening quite often:

==>	 sda:
	scsi 3:0:0:0: CD-ROM            TOSHIBA
==>	 sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 	 sda5 sda6 sda7 >

Make "sda: sda1 ..." lines actually lines.

[S390] dasd: use correct label location for diag fba disks

2010-07-19T07:22:50+00:00

Partition boundary calculation fails for DASD FBA disks under the
following conditions:
- disk is formatted with CMS FORMAT with a blocksize of more than
  512 bytes
- all of the disk is reserved to a single CMS file using CMS RESERVE
- the disk is accessed using the DIAG mode of the DASD driver

Under these circumstances, the partition detection code tries to
read the CMS label block containing partition-relevant information
from logical block offset 1, while it is in fact located at physical
block offset 1.

Fix this problem by using the correct CMS label block location
depending on the device type as determined by the DASD SENSE ID
information.

fs: remove all rcu head initializations, except on_stack initializations

2010-06-14T23:37:26+00:00

Remove all rcu head inits. We don't care about the RCU head state before passing
it to call_rcu() anyway. Only leave the "on_stack" variants so debugobjects can
keep track of objects on stack.

fs/partitions: use ADDPART_FLAG_RAID instead of magic number

2010-05-21T22:31:21+00:00

ADDPART_FLAG_RAID was introduced in commit d18d768, and most places were
converted to use it instead of a hardcoded value. However, some places seem
to have been missed.

Change all of them to the symbolic names via the following semantic patch:

@@
struct parsed_partitions *state;
expression E;
@@
(
- state->parts[E].flags = 1
+ state->parts[E].flags = ADDPART_FLAG_RAID
|
- state->parts[E].flags |= 1
+ state->parts[E].flags |= ADDPART_FLAG_RAID
|
- state->parts[E].flags = 2
+ state->parts[E].flags = ADDPART_FLAG_WHOLEDISK
|
- state->parts[E].flags |= 2
+ state->parts[E].flags |= ADDPART_FLAG_WHOLEDISK
)

block: improve automatic native capacity unlocking

2010-05-21T18:01:03+00:00

Currently, native capacity unlocking is initiated only when a
recognized partition extends beyond the end of the disk.  However,
there are several other unhandled cases where truncated capacity can
lead to misdetection of partitions.

* Partition table is fully beyond EOD.

* Partition table is partially beyond EOD (daisy chained ones).

* Recognized partition starts beyond EOD.

This patch updates generic partition check code such that all the
above three cases are handled too.  For the first two, @state tracks
whether low level partition check code tried to read beyond EOD during
partition scan and triggers native capacity unlocking accordingly.
The third is now handled similarly to the original unlocking case.

block: use struct parsed_partitions *state universally in partition check code

2010-05-21T18:01:02+00:00

Make the following changes to partition check code.

* Add ->bdev to struct parsed_partitions.

* Introduce read_part_sector() which is a simple wrapper around
  read_dev_sector() which takes struct parsed_partitions *state
  instead of @bdev.

* For functions which used to take @state and @bdev, drop @bdev.  For
  functions which used to take @bdev, replace it with @state.

* While updating, drop superflous checks on NULL state/bdev in ldm.c.

This cleans up the API a bit and enables better handling of IO errors
during partition check as the generic partition check code now has
much better visibility into what went wrong in the low level code
paths.
