block: remove REQ_HARDBARRIER

2010-11-10T13:54:09Z

REQ_HARDBARRIER is dead now, so remove the leftovers. What's left at this point is: - various checks inside the block layer. - sanity checks in bio based drivers. - now unused bio_empty_barrier helper. - Xen blockfront use of BLKIF_OP_WRITE_BARRIER - it's dead for a while, but Xen really needs to sort out it's barrier situaton. - setting of ordered tags in uas - dead code copied from old scsi drivers. - scsi different retry for barriers - it's dead and should have been removed when flushes were converted to FS requests. - blktrace handling of barriers - removed. Someone who knows blktrace better should add support for REQ_FLUSH and REQ_FUA, though. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

loop: Properly clear sysfs in autoclear mode

block: autoconvert trivial BKL users to private mutex

2010-10-05T13:01:10Z

The block device drivers have all gained new lock_kernel calls from a recent pushdown, and some of the drivers were already using the BKL before. This turns the BKL into a set of per-driver mutexes. Still need to check whether this is safe to do. file=$1 name=$2 if grep -q lock_kernel ${file} ; then if grep -q 'include.*linux.mutex.h' ${file} ; then sed -i '/include.*/d' ${file} else sed -i 's/include.*.*$/include /g' ${file} fi sed -i ${file} \ -e "/^#include.*linux.mutex.h/,$ { 1,/^$static\|int\|long$/ { /^$static\|int\|long$/istatic DEFINE_MUTEX(${name}_mutex); } }" \ -e "s/$un$*lock_kernel\>[ ]*()/mutex_\1lock(\&${name}_mutex)/g" \ -e '/[ ]*cycle_kernel_lock();/d' else sed -i -e '/include.*\/d' ${file} \ -e '/cycle_kernel_lock()/d' fi Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

block/loop: implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA support

2010-09-10T10:35:37Z

Deprecate REQ_HARDBARRIER and implement REQ_FLUSH/FUA instead. Also, instead of checking file->f_op->fsync() directly, look at the value of vfs_fsync() and ignore -EINVAL return. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: deprecate barrier and replace blk_queue_ordered() with blk_queue_flush()

2010-09-10T10:35:36Z

Barrier is deemed too heavy and will soon be replaced by FLUSH/FUA requests. Deprecate barrier. All REQ_HARDBARRIERs are failed with -EOPNOTSUPP and blk_queue_ordered() is replaced with simpler blk_queue_flush(). blk_queue_flush() takes combinations of REQ_FLUSH and FUA. If a device has write cache and can flush it, it should set REQ_FLUSH. If the device can handle FUA writes, it should also set REQ_FUA. All blk_queue_ordered() users are converted. * ORDERED_DRAIN is mapped to 0 which is the default value. * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH is mapped to REQ_FLUSH. * ORDERED_DRAIN_FLUSH_FUA is mapped to REQ_FLUSH | REQ_FUA.

block/loop: queue ordered mode should be DRAIN_FLUSH

2010-09-10T10:35:36Z

loop implements FLUSH using fsync but was incorrectly setting its ordered mode to DRAIN. Change it to DRAIN_FLUSH. In practice, this doesn't change anything as loop doesn't make use of the block layer ordered implementation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

loop: add some basic read-only sysfs attributes

2010-08-23T13:18:10Z

Create /sys/block/loopX/loop directory and provide these attributes: - backing_file - autoclear - offset - sizelimit This loop directory is present only if loop device is configured. To be used in util-linux-ng (and possibly elsewhere like udev rules) where code need to get loop attributes from kernel (and not store duplicate info in userspace). Moreover loop ioctls are not even able to provide full backing file info because of buffer limits. Signed-off-by: Milan Broz Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
