2005-11-12[BLOCK] Document the READ/WRITE splitup of the disk statsJens Axboe
Use the symbolic name where appropriate and add a comment to the disk_stats structure. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2005-11-01[BLOCK] Unify the seperate read/write io stat fields into arraysJens Axboe
Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in just the core (not counting the various drivers). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>

2005-10-28[PATCH] add sysfs attr to re-emit device hotplug eventKay Sievers
A "coldplug + udevstart" can be simple like this: for i in /sys/block/*/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done for i in /sys/class/*/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done for i in /sys/bus/*/devices/*/uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-10-28[patch] remove gendisk->stamp_idle fieldChen, Kenneth W
struct gendisk has these two fields: stamp, stamp_idle. Update to stamp_idle is always in sync with stamp and they are always the same. Therefore, it does not add any value in having two fields tracking same timestamp. Suggest to remove it. Also, we should only update gendisk stats with non-zero value. Advantage is that we don't have to needlessly calculate memory address, and then add zero to the content. Signed-off-by: Ken Chen <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2005-06-23[PATCH] add check to /proc/devices read routinesNeil Horman
Patch to add check to get_chrdev_list and get_blkdev_list to prevent reads of /proc/devices from spilling over the provided page if more than 4096 bytes of string data are generated from all the registered character and block devices in a system Signed-off-by: Neil Horman <nhorman@redhat.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-06-23[PATCH] NUMA aware block device control structure allocationChristoph Lameter
Patch to allocate the control structures for for ide devices on the node of the device itself (for NUMA systems). The patch depends on the Slab API change patch by Manfred and me (in mm) and the pcidev_to_node patch that I posted today. Does some realignment too. Signed-off-by: Justin M.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
