floppy: do put_disk on current dr if blk_init_queue fails

2012-11-05T08:50:41Z

commit 238ab78469c6ab7845b43d5061cd3c92331b2452 upstream. If blk_init_queue fails, we do not call put_disk on the current dr (dr is decremented first in the error handling loop).

x86: Remove the ancient and deprecated disable_hlt() and enable_hlt() facility

2012-03-30T06:50:27Z

The X86_32-only disable_hlt/enable_hlt mechanism was used by the 32-bit floppy driver. Its effect was to replace the use of the HLT instruction inside default_idle() with cpu_relax() - essentially it turned off the use of HLT. This workaround was commented in the code as: "disable hlt during certain critical i/o operations" "This halt magic was a workaround for ancient floppy DMA wreckage. It should be safe to remove." H. Peter Anvin additionally adds: "To the best of my knowledge, no-hlt only existed because of flaky power distributions on 386/486 systems which were sold to run DOS. Since DOS did no power management of any kind, including HLT, the power draw was fairly uniform; when exposed to the much hhigher noise levels you got when Linux used HLT caused some of these systems to fail. They were by far in the minority even back then." Alan Cox further says: "Also for the Cyrix 5510 which tended to go castors up if a HLT occurred during a DMA cycle and on a few other boxes HLT during DMA tended to go astray. Do we care ? I doubt it. The 5510 was pretty obscure, the 5520 fixed it, the 5530 is probably the oldest still in any kind of use." So, let's finally drop this.

floppy: Fix a crash during rmmod

2012-02-08T19:03:39Z

floppy driver does not call add_disk() on all the drives hence we don't take gendisk reference on request queue for these drives. Don't call put_disk() with disk->queue set, otherwise we try to put the reference we never took.

floppy: Cleanup disk->queue before caling put_disk() if add_disk() was never called

2012-02-08T19:03:38Z

add_disk() takes gendisk reference on request queue. If driver failed during initialization and never called add_disk() then that extra reference is not taken. That reference is put in put_disk(). floppy driver allocates the disk, allocates queue, sets disk->queue and then relizes that floppy controller is not present. It tries to tear down everything and tries to put a reference down in put_disk() which was never taken. In such error cases cleanup disk->queue before calling put_disk() so that we never try to put down a reference which was never taken in first place.

fs: move code out of buffer.c

2012-01-04T03:54:07Z

Move invalidate_bdev, block_sync_page into fs/block_dev.c. Export kill_bdev as well, so brd doesn't have to open code it. Reduce buffer_head.h requirement accordingly. Removed a rather large comment from invalidate_bdev, as it looked a bit obsolete to bother moving. The small comment replacing it says enough.

x86 idle floppy: deprecate disable_hlt()

2011-05-29T07:39:15Z

Plan to remove floppy_disable_hlt in 2012, an ancient workaround with comments that it should be removed. This allows us to remove clutter and a run-time branch from the idle code. WARN_ONCE() on invocation until it is removed. cc: x86@kernel.org cc: stable@kernel.org # .39.x Signed-off-by: Len Brown
