Remove legacy CDROM drivers

2007-07-10T06:03:34+00:00

They are all broken beyond repair. Given that nobody has complained about them (most haven't worked in 2.6 AT ALL), remove them from the tree. A new mitsumi driver that actually works is in progress, it'll get added when completed. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

[PATCH] fix request->cmd == INT cases

2007-07-10T06:03:34+00:00

- I have unearthed very old bugs in stale drivers that still used request->cmd as a READ|WRITE int - This patch is maybe a proof that these drivers have not been used for a long time. Should they be removed completely? Drivers that currently do not work for sure: drivers/acorn/block/fd1772.c | 2 +- drivers/acorn/block/mfmhd.c | 8 ++++---- drivers/cdrom/aztcd.c | 2 +- drivers/cdrom/cm206.c | 2 +- drivers/cdrom/gscd.c | 2 +- drivers/cdrom/mcdx.c | 2 +- drivers/cdrom/optcd.c | 2 +- drivers/cdrom/sjcd.c | 2 +- Drivers with cosmetic fixes only: b/drivers/block/amiflop.c b/drivers/block/nbd.c b/drivers/ide/legacy/hd.c Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

[PATCH] remove many unneeded #includes of sched.h

2007-02-14T16:09:54+00:00

After Al Viro (finally) succeeded in removing the sched.h #include in module.h recently, it makes sense again to remove other superfluous sched.h includes. There are quite a lot of files which include it but don't actually need anything defined in there. Presumably these includes were once needed for macros that used to live in sched.h, but moved to other header files in the course of cleaning it up. To ease the pain, this time I did not fiddle with any header files and only removed #includes from .c-files, which tend to cause less trouble. Compile tested against 2.6.20-rc2 and 2.6.20-rc2-mm2 (with offsets) on alpha, arm, i386, ia64, mips, powerpc, and x86_64 with allnoconfig, defconfig, allmodconfig, and allyesconfig as well as a few randconfigs on x86_64 and all configs in arch/arm/configs on arm. I also checked that no new warnings were introduced by the patch (actually, some warnings are removed that were emitted by unnecessarily included header files).

[PATCH] getting rid of all casts of k[cmz]alloc() calls

2006-12-13T17:05:58+00:00

Run this: #!/bin/sh for f in $(grep -Erl "$[^$]*\) *k[cmz]alloc" *) ; do echo "De-casting $f..." perl -pi -e "s/ ?= ?$[^$]*\) *(k[cmz]alloc) *\(/ = \1\(/" $f done And then go through and reinstate those cases where code is casting pointers to non-pointers. And then drop a few hunks which conflicted with outstanding work.

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

2006-10-05T14:10:12+00:00

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t. Signed-Off-By: David Howells (cherry picked from 1b16e7ac850969f38b375e511e3fa2f474a33867 commit)

[PATCH] drivers/cdrom/cm206.c: cleanups

2006-06-30T18:25:38+00:00

- make __cm206_init() __init (required since it calls the __init cm206_init()) - make the needlessly global bcdbin() static - remove a comment with an obsolete compile command Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk Cc: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] Remove MODULE_PARM

2006-03-25T16:22:52+00:00

MODULE_PARM was actually breaking: recent gcc version optimize them out as unused. It's time to replace the last users, which are generally in the most unloved drivers anyway. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] kill cdrom ->dev_ioctl method

2006-03-23T15:38:09+00:00

Since early 2.4.x all cdrom drivers implement the block_device methods themselves, so they can handle additional ioctls directly instead of going through the cdrom layer. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Jens Axboe Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
