block: take care not to overflow when calculating total iov length

block/scsi_ioctl.c: quiet sparse noise

2009-11-04T08:10:33Z

Quiet sparse noise about symbol's not being declared. Symbol blk_default_cmd_filter is only used locally and should be static. The function blk_scsi_ioctl_init() is a fs_initcall and should also be static. Signed-off-by: H Hartley Sweeten Cc: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: call blk_scsi_ioctl_init()

2009-07-10T18:31:53Z

Currently, blk_scsi_ioctl_init() is not called since it lacks an initcall marking. This causes the command table to be unitialized, hence somce commands are block when they should not have been. This fixes a regression introduced by commit 018e0446890661504783f92388ecce7138c1566d Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: get rid of queue-private command filter

2009-07-01T08:56:26Z

The initial patches to support this through sysfs export were broken and have been if 0'ed out in any release. So lets just kill the code and reclaim some space in struct request_queue, if anyone would later like to fixup the sysfs bits, the git history can easily restore the removed bits.

block: Use accessor functions for queue limits

2009-05-22T21:22:54Z

Convert all external users of queue limits to using wrapper functions instead of poking the request queue variables directly. Signed-off-by: Martin K. Petersen Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: add rq->resid_len

2009-05-11T07:50:53Z

rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue and the residual count on completion. This duality creates some headaches. First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing. It could be the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the lower layers is using to keep track of residual count. This complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus [__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands. Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the request with the cached data length. Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count, ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred. The residual count is an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it alone means no data transfer occurred at all. This reverse default behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable. This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count. While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.

block: don't init rq fields unnecessarily

2009-04-28T06:14:50Z

blk_get_request() always returns properly zeroed requests. Don't set fields to zero/NULL unnecessarily. [ Impact: cleanup ] Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: kill rq->data

2009-04-28T05:37:36Z

Now that all block request data transfer is done via bio, rq->data isn't used. Kill it. While at it, make the roles of rq->special and buffer clear. [ Impact: drop now unncessary field from struct request ] Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Cc: Boaz Harrosh

block: fix SG_IO vector request data length handling

2009-04-22T06:35:09Z

Impact: fix SG_IO behavior such that it matches the documentation SG_IO howto says that if ->dxfer_len and sum of iovec disagress, the shorter one wins. However, the current implementation returns -EINVAL for such cases. Trim iovc if it's longer than ->dxfer_len. This patch uses iov_*() helpers which take struct iovec * by casting struct sg_iovec * to it. sg_iovec is always identical to iovec and this will be further cleaned up with later patches.

block: fix SG_IO to return a proper error value

2009-04-15T10:10:11Z

blk_rq_unmap_user() returns -EFAULT if a program passes an invalid address to kernel. SG_IO path needs to pass the returned value to user space instead of ignoring it. Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
