[PATCH] dm: disable barriers

2007-08-25T15:24:15Z

This patch causes device-mapper to reject any barrier requests. This is done since most of the targets won't handle this correctly anyway. So until the situation improves it is better to reject these requests at the first place. Since barrier requests won't get to the targets, the checks there can be removed.

[PATCH] dm io: fix panic on large request

2007-08-25T15:24:08Z

Flush workqueue before releasing bioset and mopools in dm-crypt. There can be finished but not yet released request. Call chain causing oops: run workqueue dec_pending bio_endio(...); mempool_free(io, cc->io_pool); This usually happens when cryptsetup create temporary luks mapping in the beggining of crypt device activation. When dm-core calls destructor crypt_dtr, no new request are possible.

[PATCH] dm crypt: fix remove first_clone

2007-08-15T08:02:30Z

Get rid of first_clone in dm-crypt This gets rid of first_clone, which is not really needed. Apparently, cloned bios used to share their bvec some time way in the past - this is no longer the case. Contrarily, this even hurts us if we try to create a clone off first_clone after it has completed, and crypt_endio has destroyed its bvec.

[PATCH] dm crypt: fix avoid cloned bio ref after free

2007-08-15T08:02:29Z

Do not access the bio after generic_make_request We should never access a bio after generic_make_request - there's no guarantee it still exists.

[PATCH] dm crypt: fix call to clone_init

2007-08-15T08:02:29Z

Call clone_init early We need to call clone_init as early as possible - at least before call bio_put(clone) in any error path. Otherwise, the destructor will try to dereference bi_private, which may still be NULL.

[PATCH] dm crypt: disable barriers

2007-08-15T08:02:28Z

Disable barriers in dm-crypt because of current workqueue processing can reorder requests. This must be addresed later but for now disabling barriers is needed to prevent data corruption.

[PATCH] dm: map and endio symbolic return codes

2006-12-08T16:29:09Z

Update existing targets to use the new symbols for return values from target map and end_io functions. There is no effect on behaviour. Test results: Done build test without errors.

[PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernel

2006-12-08T16:28:51Z

This facility provides three entry points: ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32 ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64 These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data: int do_something(long q) { ...; y = ilog2(x) ...; } Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values: unsigned n = ilog2(27); When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error: initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as unsigned. When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

[PATCH] slab: remove kmem_cache_t

2006-12-07T16:39:25Z

Replace all uses of kmem_cache_t with struct kmem_cache. The patch was generated using the following script: #!/bin/sh # # Replace one string by another in all the kernel sources. # set -e for file in `find * -name "*.c" -o -name "*.h"|xargs grep -l $1`; do quilt add $file sed -e "1,\$s/$1/$2/g" $file >/tmp/$$ mv /tmp/$$ $file quilt refresh done The script was run like this sh replace kmem_cache_t "struct kmem_cache" Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
