scsi: introduce a result field in struct scsi_request

2017-04-20T18:16:10+00:00

This passes on the scsi_cmnd result field to users of passthrough
requests.  Currently we abuse req->errors for this purpose, but that
field will go away in its current form.

Note that the old IDE code abuses the errors field in very creative
ways and stores all kinds of different values in it.  I didn't dare
to touch this magic, so the abuses are brought forward 1:1.

block: remove the blk_execute_rq return value

2017-04-20T18:16:10+00:00

The function only returns -EIO if rq->errors is non-zero, which is not
very useful and lets a large number of callers ignore the return value.

Just let the callers figure out their error themselves.

sched/headers: Prepare for new header dependencies before moving code to

2017-03-02T07:42:36+00:00

We are going to split  out of , which
will have to be picked up from other headers and a couple of .c files.

Create a trivial placeholder  file that just
maps to  to make this patch obviously correct and
bisectable.

Include the new header in the files that are going to need it.

cdrom: Make device operations read-only

2017-02-14T15:29:56+00:00

Since function tables are a common target for attackers, it's best to keep
them in read-only memory. As such, this makes the CDROM device ops tables
const. This drops additionally n_minors, since it isn't used meaningfully,
and sets the only user of cdrom_dummy_generic_packet explicitly so the
variables can all be const.

Inspired by similar changes in grsecurity/PaX.

block: fold cmd_type into the REQ_OP_ space

2017-01-31T21:00:44+00:00

Instead of keeping two levels of indirection for requests types, fold it
all into the operations.  The little caveat here is that previously
cmd_type only applied to struct request, while the request and bio op
fields were set to plain REQ_OP_READ/WRITE even for passthrough
operations.

Instead this patch adds new REQ_OP_* for SCSI passthrough and driver
private requests, althought it has to add two for each so that we
can communicate the data in/out nature of the request.

ide: don't abuse cmd_type

2017-01-31T21:00:39+00:00

Currently the legacy ide driver defines several request types of it's own,
which is in the way of removing that field entirely.

Instead add a type field to struct ide_request and use that to distinguish
the different types of IDE-internal requests.

It's a bit of a mess, but so is the surrounding code..

block: split scsi_request out of struct request

2017-01-27T22:08:35+00:00

And require all drivers that want to support BLOCK_PC to allocate it
as the first thing of their private data.  To support this the legacy
IDE and BSG code is switched to set cmd_size on their queues to let
the block layer allocate the additional space.

block: split out request-only flags into a new namespace

2016-10-28T14:45:17+00:00

A lot of the REQ_* flags are only used on struct requests, and only of
use to the block layer and a few drivers that dig into struct request
internals.

This patch adds a new req_flags_t rq_flags field to struct request for
them, and thus dramatically shrinks the number of common requests.  It
also removes the unfortunate situation where we have to fit the fields
from the same enum into 32 bits for struct bio and 64 bits for
struct request.

block: convert to device_add_disk()

2016-06-27T19:26:08+00:00

For block drivers that specify a parent device, convert them to use
device_add_disk().

This conversion was done with the following semantic patch:

    @@
    struct gendisk *disk;
    expression E;
    @@

    - disk->driverfs_dev = E;
    ...
    - add_disk(disk);

    - add_disk(E2);
    + device_add_disk(E1, E2);

...plus some manual fixups for a few missed conversions.
