Otherwise it will be 0 and the result of reading a discarded area is undefined. -What: /sys/block/<disk>/alias -Date: Aug 2011 -Contact: Nao Nishijima <nao.nishijima.xt@hitachi.com> -Description: - A raw device name of a disk does not always point a same disk - each boot-up time. Therefore, users have to use persistent - device names, which udev creates when the kernel finds a disk, - instead of raw device name. However, kernel doesn't show those - persistent names on its messages (e.g. dmesg). - This file can store an alias of the disk and it would be - appeared in kernel messages if it is set. A disk can have an - alias which length is up to 255bytes. Users can use alphabets, - numbers, "-" and "_" in alias name. This file is writeonce. diff --git a/block/genhd.c b/block/genhd.c index 9253839714ff..02e9fca80825 100644 --- a/block/genhd.c +++ b/block/genhd.c @@ -19,7 +19,6 @@ #include <linux/mutex.h> #include <linux/idr.h> #include <linux/log2.h> -#include <linux/ctype.h> #include "blk.h" @@ -916,74 +915,6 @@ static int __init genhd_device_init(void) subsys_initcall(genhd_device_init); -static ssize_t alias_show(struct device *dev, - struct device_attribute *attr, char *buf) -{ - struct gendisk *disk = dev_to_disk(dev); - ssize_t ret = 0; - - if (disk->alias) - ret = snprintf(buf, ALIAS_LEN, "%s\n", disk->alias); - return ret; -} - -static ssize_t alias_store(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, - const char *buf, size_t count) -{ - struct gendisk *disk = dev_to_disk(dev); - char *alias; - char *envp[] = { NULL, NULL }; - unsigned char c; - int i; - ssize_t ret = count; - - if (!count) - return -EINVAL; - - if (count >= ALIAS_LEN) { - printk(KERN_ERR "alias: alias is too long\n"); - return -EINVAL; - } - - /* Validation check */ - for (i = 0; i < count; i++) { - c = buf[i]; - if (i == count - 1 && c == '\n') - break; - if (!isalnum(c) && c != '_' && c != '-') { - printk(KERN_ERR "alias: invalid alias\n"); - return -EINVAL; - } - } - - if (disk->alias) { - printk(KERN_INFO "alias: %s is already assigned (%s)\n", - disk->disk_name, disk->alias); - return -EINVAL; - } - - alias = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "%s", buf); - if (!alias) - return -ENOMEM; - - if (alias[count - 1] == '\n') - alias[count - 1] = '\0'; - - envp[0] = kasprintf(GFP_KERNEL, "ALIAS=%s", alias); - if (!envp[0]) { - kfree(alias); - return -ENOMEM; - } - - disk->alias = alias; - printk(KERN_INFO "alias: assigned %s to %s\n", alias, disk->disk_name); - - kobject_uevent_env(&dev->kobj, KOBJ_ADD, envp); - - kfree(envp[0]); - return ret; -} - static ssize_t disk_range_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, char *buf) { @@ -1043,7 +974,6 @@ static ssize_t disk_discard_alignment_show(struct device *dev, return sprintf(buf, "%d\n", queue_discard_alignment(disk->queue)); } -static DEVICE_ATTR(alias, S_IRUGO|S_IWUSR, alias_show, alias_store); static DEVICE_ATTR(range, S_IRUGO, disk_range_show, NULL); static DEVICE_ATTR(ext_range, S_IRUGO, disk_ext_range_show, NULL); static DEVICE_ATTR(removable, S_IRUGO, disk_removable_show, NULL); @@ -1066,7 +996,6 @@ static struct device_attribute dev_attr_fail_timeout = #endif static struct attribute *disk_attrs[] = { - &dev_attr_alias.attr, &dev_attr_range.attr, &dev_attr_ext_range.attr, &dev_attr_removable.attr, diff --git a/include/linux/genhd.h b/include/linux/genhd.h index 9de31bc98c88..6d18f3531f18 100644 --- a/include/linux/genhd.h +++ b/include/linux/genhd.h @@ -21,8 +21,6 @@ #define dev_to_part(device) container_of((device), struct hd_struct, __dev) #define disk_to_dev(disk) (&(disk)->part0.__dev) #define part_to_dev(part) (&((part)->__dev)) -#define alias_name(disk) ((disk)->alias ?
