linux-toradex.git/block/Kconfig, branch v4.9.62

Merge branch 'for-4.9/block-irq' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

2016-10-10T00:29:33+00:00

Pull blk-mq irq/cpu mapping updates from Jens Axboe:
 "This is the block-irq topic branch for 4.9-rc. It's mostly from
  Christoph, and it allows drivers to specify their own mappings, and
  more importantly, to share the blk-mq mappings with the IRQ affinity
  mappings. It's a good step towards making this work better out of the
  box"

* 'for-4.9/block-irq' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block:
  blk_mq: linux/blk-mq.h does not include all the headers it depends on
  blk-mq: kill unused blk_mq_create_mq_map()
  blk-mq: get rid of the cpumask in struct blk_mq_tags
  nvme: remove the post_scan callout
  nvme: switch to use pci_alloc_irq_vectors
  blk-mq: provide a default queue mapping for PCI device
  blk-mq: allow the driver to pass in a queue mapping
  blk-mq: remove ->map_queue
  blk-mq: only allocate a single mq_map per tag_set
  blk-mq: don't redistribute hardware queues on a CPU hotplug event

blk_mq: linux/blk-mq.h does not include all the headers it depends on

2016-09-19T14:21:51+00:00

and building block/blk-mq-pci.o should depend on CONFIG_BLOCK

blk-mq: abstract tag allocation out into sbitmap library

2016-09-17T14:38:44+00:00

This is a generally useful data structure, so make it available to
anyone else who might want to use it. It's also a nice cleanup
separating the allocation logic from the rest of the tag handling logic.

The code is behind a new Kconfig option, CONFIG_SBITMAP, which is only
selected by CONFIG_BLOCK for now.

This should be a complete noop functionality-wise.

block: remove BLK_DEV_DAX config option

2016-08-04T12:50:07+00:00

The functionality for block device DAX was already removed with commit
acc93d30d7d4 ("Revert "block: enable dax for raw block devices"")

However, we still had a config option hanging around that was always
disabled because it depended on CONFIG_BROKEN.  This config option was
introduced in commit 03cdadb04077 ("block: disable block device DAX by
default")

This change reverts that commit, removing the dead config option.

block: disable block device DAX by default

2016-02-27T18:28:52+00:00

The recent *sync enabling discovered that we are inserting into the
block_device pagecache counter to the expectations of the dirty data
tracking for dax mappings.  This can lead to data corruption.

We want to support DAX for block devices eventually, but it requires
wider changes to properly manage the pagecache.

Mark the support broken so its disabled by default, but otherwise still
available for testing.

block: Add T10 Protection Information functions

2014-09-27T15:14:59+00:00

The T10 Protection Information format is also used by some devices that
do not go through the SCSI layer (virtual block devices, NVMe). Relocate
the relevant functions to a block layer library that can be used without
involving SCSI.

block: change config option name for cmdline partition parsing

2013-09-30T21:31:02+00:00

Recently commit bab55417b10c ("block: support embedded device command
line partition") introduced CONFIG_CMDLINE_PARSER.  However, that name
is too generic and sounds like it enables/disables generic kernel boot
arg processing, when it really is block specific.

Before this option becomes a part of a full/final release, add the BLK_
prefix to it so that it is clear in absence of any other context that it
is block specific.

In addition, fix up the following less critical items:
 - help text was not really at all helpful.
 - index file for Documentation was not updated
 - add the new arg to Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
 - clarify wording in source comments

block: support embedded device command line partition

Read block device partition table from command line.  The partition used
for fixed block device (eMMC) embedded device.  It is no MBR, save
storage space.  Bootloader can be easily accessed by absolute address of
data on the block device.  Users can easily change the partition.
