Revert "unexport bio_{,un}map_user"

2008-03-17T20:14:40Z

Outside users like asmlib uses the mapping functions. API wise, the export is definitely sane. It's a better idea to keep this export than to require external users to open-code this piece of code instead. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

fs/block_dev.c: remove #if 0'ed code

2008-02-19T09:04:00Z

Commit b2e895dbd80c420bfc0937c3729b4afe073b3848 #if 0'ed this code stating: <-- snip --> [PATCH] revert blockdev direct io back to 2.6.19 version Andrew Vasquez is reporting as-iosched oopses and a 65% throughput slowdown due to the recent special-casing of direct-io against blockdevs. We don't know why either of these things are occurring. The patch minimally reverts us back to the 2.6.19 code for a 2.6.20 release. <-- snip --> It has since been dead code, and unless someone wants to revive it now it's time to remove it. This patch also makes bio_release_pages() static again and removes the ki_bio_count member from struct kiocb, reverting changes that had been done for this dead code.

__bio_clone: don't calculate hw/phys segment counts

2008-01-28T09:04:46Z

If the users sets a new ->bi_bdev on the bio after __bio_clone() has returned it, the "segment counts valid" flag still remains even though it may be different with the new target. So don't calculate segment counts in __bio_clone(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

bio: make freeing of ->bi_io_vec conditional in bio_free()

2007-10-16T09:03:52Z

The empty barrier patches do not carry data, so they have no iovec attached. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

bio: use memset() in bio_init()

2007-10-16T09:03:51Z

Use memset() to clear the bio, instead of doing each field manually. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Drop 'size' argument from bio_endio and bi_end_io

2007-10-10T07:25:57Z

As bi_end_io is only called once when the reqeust is complete, the 'size' argument is now redundant. Remove it. Now there is no need for bio_endio to subtract the size completed from bi_size. So don't do that either. While we are at it, change bi_end_io to return void. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Don't decrement bi_size in bio_endio

2007-10-10T07:25:57Z

The only caller of bio_endio that does not pass the full bi_size is end_that_request_first. Also, no ->bi_end_io method is really interested in bi_size being decremented. So move the decrement and related code into ll_rw_blk and merge it with order_bio_endio to form req_bio_endio which does endio functionality specific to request completion. As some ->bi_end_io methods do check bi_size of 0, we set it thus for now, but that will go in the next patch.

Only call bi_end_io once for any bio

2007-10-10T07:25:57Z

Currently bi_end_io can be called multiple times as sub-requests complete. However no ->bi_end_io function wants to know about that. So only call when the bio is complete.

[BLOCK] Get rid of request_queue_t typedef

2007-07-24T07:28:11Z

Some of the code has been gradually transitioned to using the proper struct request_queue, but there's lots left. So do a full sweet of the kernel and get rid of this typedef and replace its uses with the proper type. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

mm: Remove slab destructors from kmem_cache_create().

2007-07-20T01:11:58Z

Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them either. This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create() completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves, or the documentation references).
