Corrections in Documentation/block/ioprio.txt

The newer glibc does not allow system calls to be made via _syscallN() wrapper. They have to be made through syscall(). The ionice code used the older interface. Correcting it to use syscall. Signed-off-by: Dhaval Giani Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Introduce rq_for_each_segment replacing rq_for_each_bio

2007-10-10T07:25:56Z

Every usage of rq_for_each_bio wraps a usage of bio_for_each_segment, so these can be combined into rq_for_each_segment. We define "struct req_iterator" to hold the 'bio' and 'index' that are needed for the double iteration. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown Various compile fixes by me... Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

[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

Documentation/block/barrier.txt is not in sync with the actual code: - blk_queue_ordered() no longer has a gfp_mask parameter - blk_queue_ordered_locked() no longer exists - sd_prepare_flush() looks slightly different

genhd: expose AN to user space

2007-05-24T03:14:11Z

Allow user space to determine if a disk supports Asynchronous Notification of media changes. This is done by adding a new sysfs file "capability_flags", which is documented in (insert file name). This sysfs file will export all disk capabilities flags to user space. We also define a new flag to define the media change notification capability.
