drivers/block/Makefile: replace the use of -objs with -y

2011-01-19T15:25:02Z

Change Makefile to use -y instead of -objs because -objs is deprecated and should now be switched. According to (documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt). Signed-off-by: Tracey Dent Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

rbd: introduce rados block device (rbd), based on libceph

2010-10-20T22:38:13Z

The rados block device (rbd), based on osdblk, creates a block device that is backed by objects stored in the Ceph distributed object storage cluster. Each device consists of a single metadata object and data striped over many data objects. The rbd driver supports read-only snapshots. Signed-off-by: Yehuda Sadeh Signed-off-by: Sage Weil

osdblk: a Linux block device for OSD objects

2009-06-24T09:25:02Z

Submitted driver exports a block device of the form /dev/osdblkX, where X is a decimal number. It does that by mounting a stacking block device on top of an osd object. For example, if you create a 2G object on an OSD device, you can then use this module to present that 2G object as a Linux block device. See inside patch for exact documentation. [Sitting at linux-next helped fix proper Kconfig dependency for this driver, thanks to Randy Dunlap] Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh

mflash: initial support

2009-04-07T06:12:38Z

This driver supports mflash IO mode for linux. Mflash is embedded flash drive and mainly targeted mobile and consumer electronic devices. Internally, mflash has nand flash and other hardware logics and supports 2 different operation (ATA, IO) modes. ATA mode doesn't need any new driver and currently works well under standard IDE subsystem. Actually it's one chip SSD. IO mode is ATA-like custom mode for the host that doesn't have IDE interface. Followings are brief descriptions about IO mode. A. IO mode based on ATA protocol and uses some custom command. (read confirm, write confirm) B. IO mode uses SRAM bus interface. C. IO mode supports 4kB boot area, so host can boot from mflash. This driver is quitely similar to a standard ATA driver, but because of following reasons it is currently seperated with ATA layer. 1. ATA layer deals standard ATA protocol. ATA layer have many low- level device specific interface, but data transfer keeps ATA rule. But, mflash IO mode doesn't. 2. Even though currently not used in mflash driver code, mflash has some custom command and modes. (nand fusing, firmware patch, etc) If this feature supported in linux kernel, ATA layer more altered. 3. Currently PATA platform device driver doesn't support interrupt. (I'm not sure) But, mflash uses interrupt (polling mode is just for debug). 4. mflash is somewhat under-develop product. Even though some company already using mflash their own product, I think more time is needed for standardization of custom command and mode. That time (maybe October) I will talk to with ATA people. If they accept integration, I will integrate. Signed-off-by: unsik Kim Cc: Alan Cox Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

m68k: mac - Add SWIM floppy support

2009-03-26T20:15:27Z

It allows to read data from a floppy, but not to write to, and to eject the floppy (useful on our Mac without eject button). Signed-off-by: Laurent Vivier Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven
