Merge branch 'for-4.14/block' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2017-09-07T18:59:42+00:00

Pull block layer updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the first pull request for 4.14, containing most of the code
  changes. It's a quiet series this round, which I think we needed after
  the churn of the last few series. This contains:

   - Fix for a registration race in loop, from Anton Volkov.

   - Overflow complaint fix from Arnd for DAC960.

   - Series of drbd changes from the usual suspects.

   - Conversion of the stec/skd driver to blk-mq. From Bart.

   - A few BFQ improvements/fixes from Paolo.

   - CFQ improvement from Ritesh, allowing idling for group idle.

   - A few fixes found by Dan's smatch, courtesy of Dan.

   - A warning fixup for a race between changing the IO scheduler and
     device remova. From David Jeffery.

   - A few nbd fixes from Josef.

   - Support for cgroup info in blktrace, from Shaohua.

   - Also from Shaohua, new features in the null_blk driver to allow it
     to actually hold data, among other things.

   - Various corner cases and error handling fixes from Weiping Zhang.

   - Improvements to the IO stats tracking for blk-mq from me. Can
     drastically improve performance for fast devices and/or big
     machines.

   - Series from Christoph removing bi_bdev as being needed for IO
     submission, in preparation for nvme multipathing code.

   - Series from Bart, including various cleanups and fixes for switch
     fall through case complaints"

axonram: Return directly after a failed kzalloc() in axon_ram_probe()

2017-09-01T06:42:56+00:00

* Return directly after a call of the function "kzalloc" failed
  at the beginning.

* Delete a repeated check for the local variable "bank"
  which became unnecessary with this refactoring.

axonram: Improve a size determination in axon_ram_probe()

2017-09-01T06:42:56+00:00

Replace the specification of a data structure by a pointer dereference
as the parameter for the operator "sizeof" to make the corresponding size
determination a bit safer according to the Linux coding style convention.

axonram: Delete an error message for a failed memory allocation in axon_ram_probe()

2017-09-01T06:42:55+00:00

Omit an extra message for a memory allocation failure in this function.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.

block: replace bi_bdev with a gendisk pointer and partitions index

2017-08-23T18:49:55+00:00

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O.  The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open.  Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).

For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device.  But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.

Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all
over the stack.

powerpc: Convert to using %pOF instead of full_name

2017-08-23T12:27:04+00:00

Now that we have a custom printf format specifier, convert users of
full_name to use %pOF instead. This is preparation to remove storing
of the full path string for each node.

dax: remove default copy_from_iter fallback

2017-06-27T23:44:27+00:00

Require all dax-drivers to register a ->copy_from_iter() operation so
that it is clear which dax_operations are optional and which must be
implemented for filesystem-dax to operate.

block: remove block_device_operations ->direct_access()

2017-04-25T20:20:46+00:00

Now that all the producers and consumers of dax interfaces have been
converted to using dax_operations on a dax_device, remove the block
device direct_access enabling.

axon_ram: add dax_operations support

2017-04-19T22:14:36+00:00

Setup a dax_device to have the same lifetime as the axon_ram block
device and add a ->direct_access() method that is equivalent to
axon_ram_direct_access(). Once fs/dax.c has been converted to use
dax_operations the old axon_ram_direct_access() will be removed.

axonram: Fix gendisk handling

2017-03-08T17:55:40+00:00

It is invalid to call del_gendisk() when disk->queue is NULL. Fix error
handling in axon_ram_probe() to avoid doing that.

Also del_gendisk() does not drop a reference to gendisk allocated by
alloc_disk(). That has to be done by put_disk(). Add that call where
needed.
