block: drop owner assignment from platform_drivers

2014-10-20T14:20:18+00:00

A platform_driver does not need to set an owner, it will be populated by the
driver core.

block: remove struct request buffer member

2014-04-15T20:03:02+00:00

This was used in the olden days, back when onions were proper
yellow. Basically it mapped to the current buffer to be
transferred. With highmem being added more than a decade ago,
most drivers map pages out of a bio, and rq->buffer isn't
pointing at anything valid.

Convert old style drivers to just use bio_data().

For the discard payload use case, just reference the page
in the bio.

tree-wide: use reinit_completion instead of INIT_COMPLETION

2013-11-15T00:32:21+00:00

Use this new function to make code more comprehensible, since we are
reinitialzing the completion, not initializing.

block_device_operations->release() should return void

2013-05-07T06:16:21+00:00

The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those
only in a couple of drivers) *and* it would've been lost on the way
out anyway, even if something tried to pass something meaningful.
Just don't bother.

fs: move code out of buffer.c

2012-01-04T03:54:07+00:00

Move invalidate_bdev, block_sync_page into fs/block_dev.c.  Export
kill_bdev as well, so brd doesn't have to open code it.  Reduce
buffer_head.h requirement accordingly.

Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit
obsolete to bother moving.  The small comment replacing it says enough.

block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for legacy/fringe drivers

2011-04-21T19:33:05+00:00

In-kernel disk event polling doesn't matter for legacy/fringe drivers
and may lead to infinite event loop if ->check_events() implementation
generates events on level condition instead of edge.

Now that block layer supports suppressing exporting unlisted events,
simply leaving disk->events cleared allows these drivers to keep the
internal revalidation behavior intact while avoiding weird
interactions with userland event handler.

m68k/block: amiflop - Remove superfluous amiga_chip_alloc() cast

2011-03-16T18:11:25+00:00

amiga_chip_alloc() returns a void *, so we don't need a cast.
Also clean up coding style while we're at it.

floppy,{ami|ata}flop: Convert to bdops->check_events()

2011-03-09T18:54:27+00:00

Convert the floppy drivers from ->media_changed() to ->check_events().
Both floppy and ataflop buffer media changed state bit and clear them
on revalidation and will behave correctly with kernel event polling.

I can't tell how amiflop clears its event and it's possible that it
may generate spurious events when polled.

block: fix amiga and atari floppy driver compile warning

2010-11-15T18:32:43+00:00

Geert, my crosstool don't produce warning below. I guess this has to do
something with compiler version.

- Geert noticed following warning during compilation.

  drivers/block/amiflop.c:1344: warning: ‘rq’ may be used uninitialized in
  this function
  drivers/block/ataflop.c:1402: warning: ‘rq’ may be used uninitialized in
  this function

- Initialize rq to NULL to fix the warning. If we can't find a suitable request
  to dispatch, this function should return NULL instead of a possibly garbage
  pointer.

- Cross compile tested only. Don't have hardware to test it.
