block: push down BKL into .open and .release

2010-08-07T16:25:34+00:00

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.

This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.

The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.

Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

block: push down BKL into .locked_ioctl

2010-08-07T16:25:00+00:00

As a preparation for the removal of the big kernel
lock in the block layer, this removes the BKL
from the common ioctl handling code, moving it
into every single driver still using it.

block: remove wrappers for request type/flags

2010-08-07T16:17:56+00:00

Remove all the trivial wrappers for the cmd_type and cmd_flags fields in
struct requests.  This allows much easier grepping for different request
types instead of unwinding through macros.

of: Always use 'struct device.of_node' to get device node pointer.

2010-05-18T22:10:44+00:00

The following structure elements duplicate the information in
'struct device.of_node' and so are being eliminated.  This patch
makes all readers of these elements use device.of_node instead.

(struct of_device *)->node
(struct dev_archdata *)->prom_node (sparc)
(struct dev_archdata *)->of_node (powerpc & microblaze)

block: Consolidate phys_segment and hw_segment limits

2010-02-26T12:58:08+00:00

Except for SCSI no device drivers distinguish between physical and
hardware segment limits.  Consolidate the two into a single segment
limit.

block: Rename blk_queue_max_sectors to blk_queue_max_hw_sectors

2010-02-26T12:58:08+00:00

The block layer calling convention is blk_queue_.
blk_queue_max_sectors predates this practice, leading to some confusion.
Rename the function to appropriately reflect that its intended use is to
set max_hw_sectors.

Also introduce a temporary wrapper for backwards compability.  This can
be removed after the merge window is closed.

sysctl: Drop & in front of every proc_handler.

2009-11-18T16:37:40+00:00

For consistency drop & in front of every proc_handler.  Explicity
taking the address is unnecessary and it prevents optimizations
like stubbing the proc_handlers to NULL.

sysctl drivers: Remove dead binary sysctl support

2009-11-12T10:04:58+00:00

Now that sys_sysctl is a wrapper around /proc/sys all of
the binary sysctl support elsewhere in the tree is
dead code.
