i2o: move to staging

2015-02-03T23:58:39+00:00

The I2O layer deals with a technology that to say the least didn't catch on in the market. The only relevant products are some of the AMI MegaRAID - which supported I2O and its native mode (The native mode is faster and runs on Linux), an obscure crypto ethernet card that's now so many years out of date nobody would use it, the old DPT controllers, which speak their own dialect and have their own driver - and ermm.. thats about it. We also know the code isn't in good shape as recently a patch was proposed and queried as buggy, which in turn showed the existing code was broken already by prior "clean up" and nobody had noticed that either. It's coding style robot code nothing more. Like some forgotten corridor cleaned relentlessly by a lost Roomba but where no user has trodden in years. Move it to staging and then to /dev/null. The headers remain as they are shared with dpt_i2o. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

block_device_operations->release() should return void

2013-05-07T06:16:21+00:00

The value passed is 0 in all but "it can never happen" cases (and those only in a couple of drivers) *and* it would've been lost on the way out anyway, even if something tried to pass something meaningful. Just don't bother. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

block: unexport DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE for legacy/fringe drivers

2011-04-21T19:33:05+00:00

In-kernel disk event polling doesn't matter for legacy/fringe drivers and may lead to infinite event loop if ->check_events() implementation generates events on level condition instead of edge. Now that block layer supports suppressing exporting unlisted events, simply leaving disk->events cleared allows these drivers to keep the internal revalidation behavior intact while avoiding weird interactions with userland event handler.

block: remove per-queue plugging

2011-03-10T07:52:07+00:00

Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging, and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that. So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

i2o_block: Convert to bdops->check_events()

2011-03-09T18:54:28+00:00

Convert from ->media_changed() to ->check_events(). i2o_block buffers media changed state and clears it after reporting. It will behave correctly with kernel event polling. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: Kay Sievers Cc: Markus Lidel

block: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex

2010-10-05T13:01:10+00:00

The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers were already using the BKL before. This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes. Still need to check whether this is safe to do. file=$1 name=$2 if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then sed -i '/include.*/d' ${file} else sed -i 's/include.*.*$/include /g' ${file} fi sed -i ${file} \ -e "/^#include.*linux.mutex.h/,$ { 1,/^$static\|int\|long$/ { /^$static\|int\|long$/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex); } }" \ -e "s/$un$*lock_kernel\>[ ]*()/mutex_\1lock(\&${name}_mutex)/g" \ -e '/[ ]*cycle_kernel_lock();/d' else sed -i -e '/include.*\/d' ${file} \ -e '/cycle_kernel_lock()/d' fi Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann
