d4430d62fa [PATCH] beginning of methods conversion
To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.

Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

New methods:
	open(bdev, mode)
	release(disk, mode)
	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */
	compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
	locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)	/* Called with BKL, legacy */

01e8ef11bc x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attribute
Tejun's commit 7b595756ec made sysfs
attribute->owner unnecessary.  But the field was left in the structure to
ease the merge.  It's been over a year since that change and it is now
time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
a time!

This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 .  We will deal with other arches later on
as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
can test.  Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
and boot tested.

akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
`#ifndef CONFIG_X86'.  But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

9e49184c82 floppy: support arbitrary first-sector numbers
The current floppy_struct allows floppies to number sectors starting
from 0 or 1.  This patch allows arbitrary first-sector numbers - for
example, 0xC1 for Amstrad CPC disks.

This extends the existing 1-bit field (FD_ZEROBASED, bit 2 of stretch)
to 8 bits (FD_SECTMASK, bits 2 to 9).

Currently 0x00 denotes a first sector number of 1, and 0x01 denotes a
first sector number of 0.  We extend this by interpreting FD_SECTMASK
as the first sector number with the LSB flipped.

9246b5f06d block: Expand Xen blkfront for > 16 xvd
Until recently, the maximum number of xvd block devices you could attach
to a Xen domU was 16. This limitation turned out to be problematic for
some users, so it was expanded to handle a much larger number of disks.
However, this requires a couple of changes in the way that blkfront
scans for disks. This functionality is already present in the Xen
linux-2.6.18-xen.hg tree; the attached patch adds this functionality to
the mainline xen-blkfront implementation. I successfully tested it on a
2.6.25 tree, and build tested it on 2.6.27-rc3.

  automatically and disk_round_stats() is killed.

* part_{inc|dec}_in_fligh() is implemented which automatically updates
  part0 stats for parts other than part0.

* disk_map_sector_rcu() is updated to return part0 if no part matches.
  Combined with the above changes, this makes NULL special case
  handling in callers unnecessary.

* Separate stats show code paths for disk are collapsed into part
  stats show code paths.

* Rename disk_stat_lock/unlock() to part_stat_lock/unlock()

While at it, reposition stat handling macros a bit and add missing

c995905916 block: fix diskstats access
There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters.  It's unclear
whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
entry as some callers don't do that.

This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access).  diskstats access
should always be enclosed between the two functions.  As such, there's
no need for the versions which disables preemption.  They're removed
and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars.  As an
extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
unconverted.

disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
argument to help RT.

This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
collapses several preemption ops into one at others.  Overall, the
performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
very lightweight per-cpu ones.

e71bf0d0ee block: fix disk->part[] dereferencing race
disk->part[] is protected by its matching bdev's lock.  However,
non-critical accesses like collecting stats and printing out sysfs and
proc information used to be performed without any locking.  As
partitions can come and go dynamically, partitions can go away
underneath those non-critical accesses.  As some of those accesses are
writes, this theoretically can lead to silent corruption.

This patch fixes the race by using RCU for the partition array and dev
reference counter to hold partitions.

* Rename disk->part[] to disk->__part[] to make sure no one outside
  genhd layer proper accesses it directly.

* Use RCU for disk->__part[] dereferencing.

* Implement disk_{get|put}_part() which can be used to get and put
  partitions from gendisk respectively.

* Iterators are implemented to help iterate through all partitions
  safely.

* Functions which require RCU readlock are marked with _rcu suffix.

* Use disk_put_part() in __blkdev_put() instead of directly putting
  the contained kobject.

* Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly

  Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of

  ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the
  disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary.  However,
  convert them for consistency.

* Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing
  genhd->minors.

* Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor
  space.

* Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it

766ca4428d virtio_blk: use a wrapper function to access io context information of IO requests
struct request has an ioprio member but it is never updated because
currently bios do not hold io context information. The implication of
this is that virtio_blk ends up passing useless information to the
backend driver.

That said, some IO schedulers such as CFQ do store io context
information in struct request, but use private members for that, which
means that that information cannot be directly accessed in a IO
scheduler-independent way.

This patch adds a function to obtain the ioprio of a request. We should
avoid accessing ioprio directly and use this function instead, so that
its users do not have to care about future changes in block layer
structures or what the currently active IO controller is.

This patch does not introduce any functional changes but paves the way
for future clean-ups and enhancements.

d87798450a aoe: Fix OOPS after SKB queue changes.
Reported by Thomas Graf.

If we don't unlink the SKB from the queue when we send it
out in aoenet_xmit(), dev_hard_start_xmit() will see skb->next
as non-NULL and interpret this to mean the SKB is part of a
GSO segment list.

Add __skb_unlink() call to fix that.

8560c650f3 Revert "pktcdvd: push BKL down into driver"
This reverts commit 5b6155ee70, because
the block device ioctl's really aren't ready for it.

In particular, the "struct file *" and the "struct inode *" arguments do
not necessarily match, which means that the unlocked version of the
ioctl (that only gets a "struct file *") isn't actually able to handle
the cases it needs to handle.

This fixes bugzilla

The patch is fairly complex but we haven't figured out how to make it any
simpler and still do everything that needs to be done. Some of the
complexity comes from having to special case booting from cciss. Otherwise
the gendisk doesn't get added in time and the switchroot will fail.

IO coming to a standstill. Calling the ioctl is the problem, this patch is

491539982a cciss: read config to obtain max outstanding commands per controller
This patch changes the way we determine the maximum number of outstanding
commands for each controller.

Most Smart Array controllers can support up to 1024 commands, the notable
exceptions are the E200 and E200i.

The next generation of controllers which were just added support a mode of
operation called Zero Memory Raid (ZMR).  In this mode they only support
64 outstanding commands.  In Full Function Raid (FFR) mode they support
1024.

We have been setting the queue depth by arbitrarily assigning some value
for each controller.  We needed a better way to set the queue depth to
avoid lots of annoying "fifo full" messages.  So we made the driver a
little smarter.  We now read the config table and subtract 4 from the
returned value.  The -4 is to allow some room for ioctl calls which are
not tracked the same way as io commands are tracked.

Please consider this for inclusion.

cc371e66e3 Add bvec_merge_data to handle stacked devices and ->merge_bvec()
When devices are stacked, one device's merge_bvec_fn may need to perform
the mapping and then call one or more functions for its underlying devices.

The following bio fields are used:
  bio->bi_sector
  bio->bi_bdev
  bio->bi_size
  bio->bi_rw  using bio_data_dir()

This patch creates a new struct bvec_merge_data holding a copy of those
fields to avoid having to change them directly in the struct bio when
going down the stack only to have to change them back again on the way
back up.  (And then when the bio gets mapped for real, the whole
exercise gets repeated, but that's a problem for another day...)

a144ff09bc xen: Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume path
Avoid allocations causing swap activity on the resume path by
preventing the allocations from doing IO and allowing them
to access the emergency pools.

These paths are used when a frontend device is trying to connect
to its backend driver over Xenbus.  These reconnections are triggered
on demand by IO, so by definition there is already IO underway,
and further IO would naturally deadlock.  On resume, this path
is triggered when the running system tries to continue using its
devices.  If it cannot then the resume will fail; to try to avoid this
we let it dip into the emergency pools.

3ef5360954 virtio_blk: allow read-only disks
Hello Rusty,

sometimes it is useful to share a disk (e.g. usr). To avoid file system
corruption, the disk should be mounted read-only in that case. This patch
adds a new feature flag, that allows the host to specify, if the disk should
be considered read-only.

53978d0a7a brd: don't show ramdisks in /proc/partitions
In 2.6.25, ramdisk devices show up in /proc/partitions, which is a
behaviour change from the old rd.c.  Add GENHD_FL_SUPPRESS_PARTITION_INFO,
which was present in rd.c.

All kernels prior to 2.6.25 weren't displaying ramdisks in
/proc/partitions.  Since there are many userspace tools using information
from /proc/partitions some of them may now behave incorrectly (I didn't
tested any though).  For example before 2.6.25 /proc/partitions was empty
if no block devices like hard disks and such were detected by kernel.  Now
all 16 ramdisks are always visible there.  Some software may rely on such
information (I mean, on empty /proc/partitions).

There was quite similar situation back in 2004, and ramdisks were excluded
back from displaying.  Thats why I called this a regression (maybe a bit
unfortunate).  See this patch for info:
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.3-rc2/2.6.3-rc2-mm1/broken-out/nbd-proc-partitions-fix.patch

I also think that someone somewhere (long time ago) excluded ramdisks from
/proc/partitions for good reasons.  It is possible that now such new
"feature" is harmless, but I think there are more chances that someone
will say "hey, /proc/partitions has changed, now my software doesn't work"
then "hey where did my new 2.6.25 feature go".  nbd devices are also
excluded, maybe for very same (unknown to me) reasons.

28f13702f0 block: avoid duplicate calls to get_part() in disk stat code
get_part() is fairly expensive, as it O(N) loops over partitions
to find the right one. In lots of normal IO paths we end up looking
up the partition twice, to make matters even worse. Change the
stat add code to accept a passed in partition instead.
