[SUNVDC]: Use slice 0xff on VD_DISK_TYPE_DISK.

2007-08-27T01:49:07Z

While debugging issues with the VDS server I made the driver use partition 2 to get at the whole disk since this is the "whole disk" partition in the Sun disk label. We really should use slice 0xff which really means the whole physical disk in the VIO disk protocol. Otherwise things won't work well on a disk image that doesn't have a proper disk label on it.

Introduce CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE

2007-08-23T02:52:45Z

Introduce CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE to control inclusion of check_signature() and avoid problems on platforms that don't have readb(). Let the few legacy (ISA || PCI || X86) drivers that need check_signature() select CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE.

Enable partitions for lguest block device

2007-08-18T16:45:51Z

The lguest block device only requests one minor, which means partitions don't work (eg "root=/dev/lgba1"). Let's follow the crowd and ask for 16. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

sysace: HDIO_GETGEO has it's own method for ages

2007-08-11T20:34:48Z

The way this driver tries to implement HDIO_GETGEO it'll never be called. Then again on ppc it probably will never be called anyway because it's utterly pointless. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Grant Likely Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

drivers/block/cpqarray.c: better error handling and kmalloc + memset conversion to k[cz]alloc

2007-08-11T20:34:48Z

This patch removes some redundant casts, does the kmalloc + memset to k[cz]alloc conversion and it changes the error path to use goto (to avoid code duplication). drivers/block/cpqarray.c | 49567 -> 48623 (-944 bytes) drivers/block/cpqarray.o | 178820 -> 178288 (-532 bytes) Signed-off-by: Mariusz Kozlowski Acked-by: Mike Miller Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
