2009-03-26[S390] dasd: add large volume supportStefan Weinhuber
The dasd device driver will now support ECKD devices with more then 65520 cylinders. In the traditional ECKD adressing scheme each track is addressed by a 16-bit cylinder and 16-bit head number. The new addressing scheme makes use of the fact that the actual number of heads is never larger then 15, so 12 bits of the head number can be redefined to be part of the cylinder address.

2009-03-24Driver core: implement uevent suppress in kobjectMing Lei
This patch implements uevent suppress in kobject and removes it from struct device, based on the following ideas: 1,Uevent sending should be one attribute of kobject, so suppressing it in kobject layer is more natural than in device layer. By this way, we can do it for other objects embedded with kobject. 2,It may save several bytes for each instance of struct device.(On my omap3(32bit ARM) based box, can save 8bytes per device object) This patch also introduces dev_set|get_uevent_suppress() helpers to set and query uevent_suppress attribute in case to help kobject as private part of struct device in future.

It was introduced by a6f23657d3072bde6844055bbc2290e497f33fbc block: add one-hit cache for disk partition lookup and has the effect of killing my machine whenever I try to assemble an md array :-( One of the devices in the array has partitions, and mdadm always deletes partitions before putting a whole-device in an array (as it can cause confusion). The next IO to that device locks the machine. I don't really understand exactly why it locks up, but it happens in disk_map_sector_rcu(). This patch fixes it. Which is due to a missing clear of the (now) stale partition lookup data. So clear that when we delete a partition. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2008-10-17block: add partition attribute for partition numberTejun Heo
With extended devt, finding out the partition number becomes a bit more challenging as subtracting the minor number from that of the parent device doesn't work anymore. The only thing left is parsing the partition name which is brittle and not exactly universal (some have '-' between the device name and partition number while others don't). This patch introduced partition attribute which contains the partition number of the device. This should make finding partitions and its index easier. This problem and solution were suggested by H. Peter Anvin. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-10-16block: sanitize invalid partition table entriesKay Sievers
We currently follow blindly what the partition table lies about the disk, and let the kernel create block devices which can not be accessed. Trying to identify the device leads to kernel logs full of: sdb: rw=0, want=73392, limit=28800 attempt to access beyond end of device Here is an example of a broken partition table, where sda2 starts behind the end of the disk, and sdb3 is larger than the entire disk: Disk /dev/sdb: 14 MB, 14745600 bytes 1 heads, 29 sectors/track, 993 cylinders, total 28800 sectors Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 29 7800 3886 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 37801 45601 3900+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 15602 73402 28900+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb4 23403 28796 2697 83 Linux The kernel creates these completely invalid devices, which can not be accessed, or may lead to other unpredictable failures: grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size} /sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800 /sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29 /sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772 /sys/class/block/sdb2/start:37801 /sys/class/block/sdb2/size:7801 /sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602 /sys/class/block/sdb3/size:57801 /sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403 /sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394 With this patch, we ignore partitions which start behind the end of the disk, and limit partitions to the end of the disk if they pretend to be larger: grep . /sys/class/block/sdb*/{start,size} /sys/class/block/sdb/size:28800 /sys/class/block/sdb1/start:29 /sys/class/block/sdb1/size:7772 /sys/class/block/sdb3/start:15602 /sys/class/block/sdb3/size:13198 /sys/class/block/sdb4/start:23403 /sys/class/block/sdb4/size:5394 These warnings are printed to the kernel log: sdb: p2 ignored, start 37801 is behind the end of the disk sdb: p3 size 57801 limited to end of disk Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Cc: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski <herton@mandriva.com.br> Cc: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-10-09block: allow disk to have extended device numberTejun Heo
Now that disk and partition handlings are mostly unified, it's easy to allow disk to have extended device number. This patch makes add_disk() use extended device number if disk->minors is zero. Both sd and ide-disk are updated to use this. * sd_format_disk_name() is implemented which can generically determine the drive name. This removes disk number restriction stemming from limited device names. * If sd index goes over SD_MAX_DISKS (which can be increased now BTW), sd simply doesn't initialize minors letting block layer choose extended device number. * If CONFIG_DEBUG_EXT_DEVT is set, both sd and ide-disk always set minors to 0 and use extended device numbers.

2008-10-09block: replace @ext_minors with GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVTTejun Heo
With previous changes, it's meaningless to limit the number of partitions. Replace @ext_minors with GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT such that setting the flag allows the disk to have maximum number of allowed partitions (only limited by the number of entries in parsed_partitions as determined by MAX_PART constant). This kills not-too-pretty alloc_disk_ext[_node]() functions and makes @minors parameter to alloc_disk[_node]() unnecessary. The parameter is left alone to avoid disturbing the users.

2008-10-09block: move stats from disk to part0Tejun Heo
Move stats related fields - stamp, in_flight, dkstats - from disk to part0 and unify stat handling such that... * part_stat_*() now updates part0 together if the specified partition is not part0. ie. part_stat_*() are now essentially all_stat_*(). * {disk|all}_stat_*() are gone. * part_round_stats() is updated similary. It handles part0 stats automatically and disk_round_stats() is killed. * part_{inc|dec}_in_fligh() is implemented which automatically updates part0 stats for parts other than part0. * disk_map_sector_rcu() is updated to return part0 if no part matches. Combined with the above changes, this makes NULL special case handling in callers unnecessary. * Separate stats show code paths for disk are collapsed into part stats show code paths. * Rename disk_stat_lock/unlock() to part_stat_lock/unlock() While at it, reposition stat handling macros a bit and add missing parentheses around macro parameters.

2008-10-09block: introduce partition 0Tejun Heo
genhd and partition code handled disk and partitions separately. All information about the whole disk was in struct genhd and partitions in struct hd_struct. However, the whole disk (part0) and other partitions have a lot in common and the data structures end up having good number of common fields and thus separate code paths doing the same thing. Also, the partition array was indexed by partno - 1 which gets pretty confusing at times. This patch introduces partition 0 and makes the partition array indexed by partno. Following patches will unify the handling of disk and parts piece-by-piece. This patch also implements disk_partitionable() which tests whether a disk is partitionable. With coming dynamic partition array change, the most common usage of disk_max_parts() will be testing whether a disk is partitionable and the number of max partitions will become much less important.

2008-10-09block: implement extended dev numbersTejun Heo
Implement extended device numbers. A block driver can tell block layer that it wants to use extended device numbers. After the usual minor space is used up, block layer automatically allocates devt's from EXT_BLOCK_MAJOR. Currently only one major number is allocated for this but as the allocation is strictly on-demand, ~1mil minor space under it should suffice unless the system actually has more than ~1mil partitions and if that ever happens adding more majors to the extended devt area is easy. Due to internal implementation issues, the first partition can't be allocated on the extended area. In other words, genhd->minors should at least be 1. This limitation will be lifted by later changes. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-10-09block: fix diskstats accessTejun Heo
There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters. It's unclear whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on entry as some callers don't do that. This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock() and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access). diskstats access should always be enclosed between the two functions. As such, there's no need for the versions which disables preemption. They're removed and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars. As an extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version unconverted. disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu argument to help RT. This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also collapses several preemption ops into one at others. Overall, the performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are very lightweight per-cpu ones.

2008-10-09block: fix disk->part[] dereferencing raceTejun Heo
disk->part[] is protected by its matching bdev's lock. However, non-critical accesses like collecting stats and printing out sysfs and proc information used to be performed without any locking. As partitions can come and go dynamically, partitions can go away underneath those non-critical accesses. As some of those accesses are writes, this theoretically can lead to silent corruption. This patch fixes the race by using RCU for the partition array and dev reference counter to hold partitions. * Rename disk->part[] to disk->__part[] to make sure no one outside genhd layer proper accesses it directly. * Use RCU for disk->__part[] dereferencing. * Implement disk_{get|put}_part() which can be used to get and put partitions from gendisk respectively. * Iterators are implemented to help iterate through all partitions safely. * Functions which require RCU readlock are marked with _rcu suffix. * Use disk_put_part() in __blkdev_put() instead of directly putting the contained kobject.

2008-10-09block: don't depend on consecutive minor spaceTejun Heo
* Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor. Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary. However, convert them for consistency. * Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing genhd->minors. * Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor space. * Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).

2008-10-09block: make variable and argument names more consistentTejun Heo

2008-04-28fat: detect media without partition table correctlyFrank Seidel
I received a complaint that some FAT formated medias (e.g. sd memory cards) trigger a "unknown partition table" message even though there is no partition table and they work correctly, while in general (when e.g. formated with mkdosfs or even Windows Vista) this message is not shown. Currently this seems only to happen when the medias get formatted with Windows XP (and possibly Win 2000). Then the boot indicator byte contains garbage (part of text message) and so do the other parts checked by msdos_paritition which then later triggers this message. References: novell bug #364365 Most fat formatted media without partition table contains zeros in the boot indication and the other tested bytes and so falls through the checks in msdos_partition, leading it to return with 1 (all is fine). But some (e.g. WinXP formatted) fat fomated medias don't use boot_ind and so the check fails and causes a "unkown partition table" warning eventhough there is none and everything would be fine. This additional check directly verifies if there is a fat formatted medium without a partition table.

2008-01-24Driver core: convert block from raw kobjects to core devicesKay Sievers
This moves the block devices to /sys/class/block. It will create a flat list of all block devices, with the disks and partitions in one directory. For compatibility /sys/block is created and contains symlinks to the disks. /sys/class/block |-- sda -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda |-- sda1 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda1 |-- sda10 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda10 |-- sda5 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda5 |-- sda6 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda6 |-- sda7 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda7 |-- sda8 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda8 |-- sda9 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda9 `-- sr0 -> ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 /sys/block/ |-- sda -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda `-- sr0 -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host1/target1:0:0/1:0:0:0/block/sr0 Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2008-01-24kset: convert block_subsys to use kset_createGreg Kroah-Hartman
Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically. We also rename block_subsys to block_kset to catch all users of this symbol with a build error instead of an easy-to-ignore build warning. Cc: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
