[PATCH] reiserfs patchset, patch 1 of 9 01-pick_correct_key_version.diff · 0a1ce1ed

Hans Reiser authored Feb 05, 2002

01-pick_correct_key_version.diff
This is to fix certain cases where items may get its keys to be interpreted
wrong, or to be inserted into the tree in wrong order. This bug was only
observed live on 2.5.3, though it is present in 2.4, too.

[PATCH] driver model updates (5/5) · 32d57b6c

Patrick Mochel authored Feb 05, 2002

Remove struct iobus.

There is a lot of duplication between struct device and struct iobus, both
in their members and the code in their interfaces. Waxing struct iobus
removes this duplication and makes things a bit simpler.

[PATCH] driver model updates (4/5) · 99f6d9fd

Patrick Mochel authored Feb 05, 2002

Patch 4: Add some default files for PCI devices.

This adds two files for PCI devices: 'irq' and 'resources'. They display
just those things and currently do nothing on write. These are the
examples for other subsystems to use for creating files ('Hey, look how
simple it is!')

[PATCH] driver model updates (3/5) · 1838d743

Patch 3: Make default callbacks simpler.

I want to move as much to a 1 file/1 value model as possible. I haven't
come up with a clean way to enforce it except via social pressure.

This patch is a step in that direction. It:

- Reduces the output of 'power' to just the decimal state of the device
- Adds a 'name' file which exports just the device name
- Reduces the 'status' file to just export the bus ID. (This will change,
  since the bus ID is obvious based on what directory you're in, but it's
  another patch at another time)

[PATCH] driver model updates (1/5) · e03a933d

Patrick Mochel authored Feb 05, 2002

Patch 1: Make device_driver_init() an initcall.
It declares it as subsys_initcall and removes the explicit call from
init/main.c::do_basic_setup().

[PATCH] nbd in 2.5.3 does not work, and can cause severe damage when read-write · 47a10c07

Petr Vandrovec authored Feb 05, 2002

Hi Linus,
    I've got strange idea and tried to build diskless machine around
2.5.3... Besides problem with segfaulting crc32 (it is initialized after
net/ipv4/ipconfig.c due to lib/lib.a being a library... I had to hardcode
lib/crc32.o before --start-group in main Makefile, but it is another
story) there is bad problem with NBD caused by BIO changes:

(1) request flags were immediately put into on-wire request format.
    In the past, we had 0=READ, !0=WRITE. Now only REQ_RW bit determines
    direction. As nbd-server from nbd distribution package treats any
    non-zero value as write, it performs writes instead of read. Fortunately
    it will die due to other consistency checks on incoming request, but...

(2) nbd servers handle only up to 10240 byte requests. So setting max_sectors
    to 20 is needed, as otherwise nbd server commits suicide. Maximum request size
    should be handshaked during nbd initialization, but currently just use
    hardwired 20 sectors, so it will behave like it did in the past.
