block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch

2009-05-11T07:52:18Z

Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution. A request is always acquired from the request queue via elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request() to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight. Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with segments only without considering request boundary. However, the benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer and its more modern users. Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing model. This patch completes the API transition by... * renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request() * renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request() * adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start * disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests * applying new API to all LLDs Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

z2ram: dequeue in-flight request

2009-05-11T07:52:17Z

z2ram processes requests one-by-one synchronously and can be easily converted to dequeueing model. Convert it. [ Impact: dequeue in-flight request ] Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: blk_rq_[cur_]_{sectors|bytes}() usage cleanup

2009-05-11T07:50:55Z

With the previous changes, the followings are now guaranteed for all requests in any valid state. * blk_rq_sectors() == blk_rq_bytes() >> 9 * blk_rq_cur_sectors() == blk_rq_cur_bytes() >> 9 Clean up accessor usages. Notable changes are * nbd,i2o_block: end_all used instead of explicit byte count * scsi_lib: unnecessary conditional on request type removed [ Impact: cleanup ] Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Paul Clements Cc: Pete Zaitcev Cc: Alex Dubov Cc: Markus Lidel Cc: David Woodhouse Cc: James Bottomley Cc: Boaz Harrosh Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: convert to pos and nr_sectors accessors

2009-05-11T07:50:54Z

With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver directly manipulates request fields. This means that the 'hard' request fields always equal the !hard fields. Convert all rq->sectors, nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors references to accessors. While at it, drop superflous blk_rq_pos() < 0 test in swim.c.

block: replace end_request() with [__]blk_end_request_cur()

2009-04-28T05:37:36Z

end_request() has been kept around for backward compatibility; however, it's about time for it to go away. * There aren't too many users left. * Its use of @updtodate is pretty confusing. * In some cases, newer code ends up using mixture of end_request() and [__]blk_end_request[_all](), which is way too confusing. So, add [__]blk_end_request_cur() and replace end_request() with it. Most conversions are straightforward. Noteworthy ones are... * paride/pcd: next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0. * paride/pf: pf_end_request() and next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0. * xd: xd_readwrite() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0. * mtd/mtd_blkdevs: blktrans_discard_request() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0. Unnecessary local variable res initialization removed from mtd_blktrans_thread().

[PATCH] beginning of methods conversion

2008-10-21T11:47:32Z

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers; to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following: 1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset. 2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers are converted in this series. 3) kill the old (renamed) methods. Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver debugging if anything goes wrong. New methods: open(bdev, mode) release(disk, mode) ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */ compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called with BKL, legacy */ Signed-off-by: Al Viro

m68k: Return -ENODEV if no device is found
