      kbuild: Allow UTS_MACHINE to be different from $(ARCH) · 392ebf1f
      Kai Germaschewski authored
      parisc builds parisc / parisc64 from arch/parisc, but wants different
      strings for uname -m, which it can now provide by overwriting
      UTS_MACHINE in arch/parisc/Makefile.

      [PATCH] small block bits · 5fe41502
      Jens Axboe authored
      o  Add sense_len to request, so scsi_ioctl knows how much sense data
         was transferred.
      
      o Add sg_timeout and sg_reserved to queue, we can't have these global...
      
      o And finally kill QUEUE_NR_REQUESTS, it hasn't been used in a while.

      [PATCH] misc scsi bits · 54952b34
      Jens Axboe authored
      Various small bits that make SCSI work well with REQ_BLOCK_PC.
      
      o Use ->errors as the scsi status byte for REQ_BLOCK_PC
      
      o Always call end_io completion, even if 0 sectors, as long as the
        status is good. Otherwise we risk hanging this device if a
        REQ_BLOCK_PC user command didn't specify a transfer size for a command
        that did.
      
      o Remove bouncing checks in scsi_merge for REQ_BLOCK_PC, bio_map_user()
        correctly bounces pages now.
      
      o Decrement req->data_len, it's our residual data count.
      
      o sr/sd: set right transfer and underflow size.

      [PATCH] bio_map_user() infrastructure · 38487531
      Jens Axboe authored
      This adds bio_map_user and bio_unmap_user to aid drivers in mapping user
      space memory into a bio suitable for block io.

      [PATCH] make bio->bi_end_io() optional · 97565ed3
      Jens Axboe authored
      Sometimes we don't even need a bio->bi_end_io, so make it optional. This
      also encourages users to _use_ bio_endio()! I like that, since it means
      they don't have to remember to decrement bi_size themselves.
      
      Also clear bi_private in bio_init(), and switch to subsys_initcall().

      [PATCH] queue merge_bvec_fn() changes · 14ff27c5

      offset, instead of a bool.

      [PATCH] various ide fixes and cleanups · e00cb941
      Jens Axboe authored
      o Remove some ide compile warnings, old suspend stuff is not used at
        all, for instance.
      
      o If elv_next_request() returns NULL, remember to clear hwgroup->busy
        if we don't have pending commands. This is important. If a queue
        prep function kills a request, we would before quit with hwgroup busy.
        This essentially froze the hwgroup.
      
      o Don't do own list manipulation in ide_do_drive_cmd(). Use the new and
        great elv_add_request() functions
      
      o Fix race on inspection of request after io completion by bumping the
        request reference count prior to ioscheduler insertion.
      
      o Make ide-floppy understand a REQ_BLOCK_PC eject. More may follow, it's
        ATAPI after all.
      
      o Clear hw before passing to ide_init_hwif_ports(). Fixes oops on
        non-pci controllers.

      [PATCH] add end_request helpers that deal in bytes, not sectors · 278bdd1c
      Jens Axboe authored
      This adds an end_that_request_chunk() helper, that puts the core
      functionality in __end_that_request_first().  This one deals in bytes.
      end_that_request_first() does the 512 multiply, and then
      end_that_request_chunk() can just use it directly.
      
      This enables ide-cd to do proper dma in sizes that are not sector
      aligned.  Some of the most important CD functions (ripping audio dma,
      burning audio cds, burning raw cds) _require_ this or we will be in pio.
      That stinks.  We simply cannot use pio for these, not on writers much
      that are fast!

      [PATCH] request references and list deletion/insertion checking · 6f04a530
      Jens Axboe authored
      o Always use list_del_init() on request queuelist, this allows us to
        sanity check the integrity of the request on insertion and removal.
        So we can complain loudly instead of silently corrupting memory.
      
      o Add references to requests. This is cheap, since we dont have to use
        an atomic variable for it (all puts are inside queue lock). We've had
        a bug in IDE for years where we want to inspect request state after
        io completion, but this is not possible to do race free right now.
        REQ_BLOCK_PC and sgio will need this too, for checking io residual
        etc. This is not just a theoretical race, I've seen it happen.

      [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.

      The attached patches only calls _sync if a schedule() call follows.
