drivers/block: remove the umem driver

2021-03-24T12:57:40Z

This removes the driver on the premise that it has been unused for a long time. This is a better approach compared to changing untestable code nobody cares about in the first place. Similarly, the umem.com website now shows a mere Godaddy parking add. Acked-by: NeilBrown Suggested-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

xsysace: Remove SYSACE driver

2021-03-23T16:27:38Z

Sysace IP is no longer used on Xilinx PowerPC 405/440 and Microblaze systems. The driver is not regularly tested and very likely not working for quite a long time that's why remove it. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: Add n64 cart driver

2021-02-21T22:37:28Z

This adds support for the Nintendo 64 console's carts. Carts are a read-only media ranging from 8mb to 64mb. Only one cart can be connected at once, and switching it requires a reboot. No module support to save RAM, as the target has 8mb RAM.

block: remove skd driver

2021-02-04T14:45:32Z

The STEC S1220 PCIe SSD cards are EOL since 2014 and not supported by the vendor anymore. As the skd driver for this SSD is starting to cause problems with improvements to the block layer, stop supporting it in newer kernel versions. Signed-off-by: Damien Le Moal Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

null_blk: Move driver into its own directory

null_blk: add tracepoint helpers for zoned mode

2020-03-27T19:39:10Z

This patch adds two new tracpoints for null_blk_zoned.c that allows us to trace report-zones, zone-mgmt-op and zone-write operations which has direct effect on the zone condition state machine. Also, we update drivers/block/Makefile so that new null_blk related tracefiles can be compiled. Signed-off-by: Chaitanya Kulkarni Reviewed-by: Damien Le Moal Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

drivers/block: Remove DAC960 driver

The DAC960 driver has been obsoleted by the myrb/myrs drivers, so it can be dropped. Signed-off-by: Hannes Reinecke Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: Rename the null_blk_mod kernel module back into null_blk

2018-07-24T15:54:36Z

Commit ca4b2a011948 ("null_blk: add zone support") breaks several blktests scripts because it renamed the null_blk kernel module into null_blk_mod. Hence rename null_blk_mod back into null_blk.
