<title>[PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]</title>

<id>9361401eb7619c033e2394e4f9f6d410d6719ac7</id>
<content type='text'>
Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.

This patch does the following:

 (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
     support.

 (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:

     (*) Block I/O tracing.

     (*) Disk partition code.

     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
     	 block layer to do scheduling.  Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
     	 such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.

     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
     	 drivers.

     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
     	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

 (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
     however, still used in places, and so is still available.

 (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
     parts of linux/fs.h.

 (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
     is not enabled.

 (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
     required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:

     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

 (*) Makes some /proc changes:

     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
     given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.

 (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

 (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
     error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so).

 (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

Right now -&gt;flags is a bit of a mess: some are request types, and
others are just modifiers. Clean this up by splitting it into
-&gt;cmd_type and -&gt;cmd_flags. This allows introduction of generic
Linux block message types, useful for sending generic Linux commands
to block devices.

<id>6460e75a104d10458817d2f5b2fbff775bf0b43a</id>
<content type='text'>
This sg driver patch addresses the problem with larger
page sizes reported by Brian King in this post:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&amp;m=115867718623631&amp;w=2
Some other related matters are also addressed. Some of these
prevent oopses when the SG_SCATTER_SZ or scatter_elem_sz are
set to inappropriate values.

The scatter_elem_sz has been tested up to 4 MB which should
make the largest data transfer with one SCSI command, 32 MB
less one block, achievable with a relatively small number
of elements in the scatter gather list.

ChangeLog:
    - add scatter_elem_sz boot time parameter and sysfs module
      parameter that is initialized to SG_SCATTER_SZ
    - the driver will then adjust scatter_elem_sz to be the
      max(given(scatter_elem_sz), PAGE_SIZE)
      It will also round it up, if necessary, to be a power
      of two
    - clean up sg.h header, correct bad urls and some statements
      that are no longer valid
    - make the def_reserved_size sysfs module attribute writable
