      [PATCH] get rid of global arrays in sd · ea3bedb6
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Okay, this is the final version of the sd patch to remove sd_dsk_arr.
      Instead of keeping a big global array we allocate one structure for
      each disk dynamically in sd_attach.  We can use the higher level
      private data to access it almost everywhere, for the few other
      places we keep a linked list of all disks (these are walked only
      in slow-patheß).
      
      This patch also allows to get rid of the sd_init midlayer method and
      the CONFIG_SD_EXTRA_DEVS option - sd has no more static limit to
      the number of disk except of the number of assigned majors.

      [PATCH] scsi patches · cbfec645
      Jens Axboe authored
      Hi James,
      
      Here are the changes that are good outside the other changes :-)
      
      scsi_lib:
      	o ->errors is used as the scsi status byte for REQ_BLOCK_PC
      	o ->data_len is the residual byte count
      	o call __scsi_end_request even for !good_sectors if status is
      	  good. This legitimately can happen for REQ_BLOCK_PC commands
      	  sent from a user space program, if it gets the command setup
      	  wrong (or weird). Right now this will hang that queue.
      
      scsi_merge:
      	o set SCpnt->request_bufflen to ->data_len, this is the
      	  authoritative io byte count for REQ_BLOCK_PC. Here we deal in
      	  bytes and not sectors.
      
      sr + sd:
      	o Set transfersize and underlow correctly for REQ_BLOCK_PC
      
      sr_ioctl
      	o We want to return -EIO for command failure, not EINVAL. That
       	  is pretty stupid :-)

      [PATCH] misc cleanups for sr · 90092a57
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      bring it back in line with sd:
      * get rid of typedefs where possible
      * tab-align all credits entries
      * line-wrap after 80 characters
      * use C99-initializers

      [PATCH] queue last_merge hint cleanup · c5868eb7
      Jens Axboe authored
      Cleanup the last_merge logic. There are two reasons for clearing
      last_merge when we are dealing with integrity, and these are:
      
      o Clear when handing the request to the driver, so we don't merge on
        a started request.
      
      o Clear when a request is taken off the list. This cannot be done from
        the driver (above case would already have been hit), but it can
        happen
        when we merge two requests.
      
      This makes it a lot nicer, it was always peculiar how we cleared in
      put_request.

      [PATCH] queue dma alignment · ad519c69
      Jens Axboe authored
      Make it possible for a device to specify the dma alignment restrictions
      it has. This will be used by future infrastructure when mapping in user
      pages, and allows us to dma to on ATAPI even though user address and
      length is not sector size aligned.

      [PATCH] make queue prep_rq_fn() a bit more powerful · 0717c0a9
      Jens Axboe authored
      Extend q->prep_rq_fn() to return one of three values:
      
       o BLKPREP_OK: request is good, return it
       o BLKPREP_KILL: request is bad, end it completely
       o BLKPREP_DEFER: request is good, but we can't take it now
      
      We maintain compatability with old prep functions (if any, outside of
      ide-cd). This change is needed or SCSI to use prep function for command
      init, if sg table allocation fails we can just defer the request.

      [PATCH] elv_add_request cleanups · 86b9d08b
      Jens Axboe authored
      Request insertion in the current tree is a mess. We have all sorts of
      variants of *elv_add_request*, and it's not at all clear who does what
      and with what locks (or not). This patch cleans it up to be:
      
      o __elv_add_request(queue, request, at_end, plug)
            Core function, requires queue lock to be held
      
      o elv_add_request(queue, request, at_end, plug)
            Like __elv_add_request(), but grabs queue lock
      
      o __elv_add_request_pos(queue, request, position)
            Insert request at a given location, lock must be held

      [PATCH] sr_ioctl must return -EIO, not -EINVAL · 6d94d882
      Jens Axboe authored
      We must return -EIO if the command fails (the 5/20/00 sense check is
      just helping return more sane info), not -EINVAL. Getting -EINVAL return
      on an ioctl if a command fails is less than helpful for applications...

      [PATCH] end_io bouncing · d50059ec
      Jens Axboe authored
      o Split blk_queue_bounce() into a slow and fast path. The fast path is
        inlined, only if we actually need to check the bio for possible
        bounces (and bounce) do we enter __blk_queue_bounce() slow path.
      
      o Fix a nasty bug that could cause corruption for file systems not
        using PAGE_CACHE_SIZE blok size! We were not correctly setting the
        'to' bv_offset correctly.
      
      o Add BIO_BOUNCE flag. Later patches will use this for debug checking.

      Why didn't you write is as patch?  James, this in Andries code
      in patch from, it get's rid of the ugly sector_div so it should
      be in if not just because of that.

      [PATCH] fix sector_div use in scsicam.c · 740ec8b5
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      sector_div has the same slightly strange calling convention do_div has:
      it's return value is the modulo of the two operators, the division
      result is in the first parameter.  Also optimize one of the expensive
      64bit division away (okay, okay - it's not exactly an fast-path :))

      [PATCH] sanitize ->bios_param prototype · 496a57cb
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Currnetly the ->bios_param for host drivers exposes struct scsi_disk
      (aka Scsi_Disk or Disk) to each and every lowlevel driver, although
      this structure should be privated to the sd driver.
      
      All bios_param implementation do only use two fields:  .device and
      .capacity.  This patch passes down those two directly and gets
      rid of 99% of the sd.h inclusions (*).
      
      I've tried to not break any driver with this patch, but given the
      number of compiler errors in the current tree I might have missed
      one or two.
      
      (*) a bunch of drivers needed sd.h to get to scsi.h, I've fixed those.

      [PATCH] scsi sync caches w/ dev offline · 84a26cf5
      Mike Anderson authored
      When a scsi device is offlined and then the system is shutdown it will
      hang during the synchronizing SCSI caches task. The error handler was
      activated during this step, but post recovery the system did not
      complete the shutdown.
      
      This patch just adds a check for online before sending the command. The
      better approach appeared to be to use scsi_block_when_processing_errors,
      but I was concerned that we might block to long in a shutdown case.
