cciss: fix cciss_revalidate panic

2010-12-17T08:01:37Z

If you delete a logical drive, and then run BLKRRPART (e.g. via fdisk) on a logical drive which is "after" the deleted logical drive in the h->drv[] array, then cciss_revalidate panics because it will access the null pointer h->drv[x] when x hits the deleted drive.

xen: Provide a variant of __RING_SIZE() that is an integer constant expression

2010-12-15T20:34:28Z

Without this, gcc 4.5 won't compile xen-netfront and xen-blkfront, where this is being used to specify array sizes. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: David Miller Cc: Stable Kernel Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

rbd: replace the rbd sysfs interface

2010-12-01T23:53:22Z

The new interface creates directories per mapped image and under each it creates a subdir per available snapshot. This allows keeping a cleaner interface within the sysfs guidelines. The ABI documentation was updated too. Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: Yehuda Sadeh Signed-off-by: Sage Weil

drbd: fix for spin_lock_irqsave in endio callback

2010-11-27T18:50:43Z

In commit 9b7f76dc37919ea36caa9680a3f765e5b19b25fb, Author: Lars Ellenberg Date: Wed Aug 11 23:40:24 2010 +0200 drbd: new configuration parameter c-min-rate a bad chunk slipped through, which is now reverted as well, restoring the correct irqsave for the endio callback. This patch also add comments at both req_mod() and in the endio callback so it should not happen again. Signed-off-by: Philipp Reisner Signed-off-by: Lars Ellenberg

drbd: don't recvmsg with zero length

2010-11-27T18:50:43Z

This should fix a performance degradation we observed recently. If we don't expect any subheader, we should not call into the tcp stack, as that may add considerable latency if there is no data available at this point. For a synthetic synchronous write load with single outstanding writes, this additional latency when processing the "unplug remote" packet added up to a performance degradation factor >= 10.

BKL: remove extraneous #include

The big kernel lock has been removed from all these files at some point, leaving only the #include. Remove this too as a cleanup. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
