<title>block/ps3: remove driver_data direct access of struct device</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6dee2c87ebbe5d7ce8c4c163966a0bd9c02c75ef</id>
<content type='text'>
In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
to the driver_data pointer in struct device.  Instead, the functions
dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used.  These functions
have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
all older kernel versions.

<content type='text'>
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case.  The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes.  Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

<title>block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9934c8c04561413609d2bc38c6b9f268cba774a4</id>
<content type='text'>
Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request().  After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing.  Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.

Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary.  However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing.  Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.

Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model.  This patch completes the API transition by...

* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()

* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()

* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start

* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests

* applying new API to all LLDs

Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

[ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

<content type='text'>
Other than in issue error paths, ps3disk always completely finishes
fetched requests.  With full completion on error paths, it can be
easily converted to dequeueing model.

* After L1 r/w call failure, ps3disk_submit_request_sg() now fails the
  whole request.  Issue failure isn't likely to benefit from partial
  retry anyway and ps3disk uses full failure in completion error path
  too, so I don't think this amounts to any meaningful functionality
  loss.

* flush completion is converted to _all for consistency.  It doesn't
  make any functional difference.

With recent cleanups, there is no place where low level driver
directly manipulates request fields.  This means that the 'hard'
request fields always equal the !hard fields.  Convert all
rq-&gt;sectors, nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors references to
accessors.

While at it, drop superflous blk_rq_pos() &lt; 0 test in swim.c.

Implement accessors - blk_rq_pos(), blk_rq_sectors() and
blk_rq_cur_sectors() which return rq-&gt;hard_sector, rq-&gt;hard_nr_sectors
and rq-&gt;hard_cur_sectors respectively and convert direct references of
the said fields to the accessors.

This is in preparation of request data length handling cleanup.

end_request() has been kept around for backward compatibility;
however, it's about time for it to go away.

* There aren't too many users left.

* Its use of @updtodate is pretty confusing.

* In some cases, newer code ends up using mixture of end_request() and
  [__]blk_end_request[_all](), which is way too confusing.

So, add [__]blk_end_request_cur() and replace end_request() with it.
Most conversions are straightforward.  Noteworthy ones are...

* paride/pcd: next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0.

* paride/pf: pf_end_request() and next_request() updated to take
  0/-errno instead of 1/0.

* xd: xd_readwrite() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0.

* mtd/mtd_blkdevs: blktrans_discard_request() updated to return
  0/-errno instead of 1/0.  Unnecessary local variable res
  initialization removed from mtd_blktrans_thread().
