block: use bd{grab,put}() instead of open-coding

2016-01-13T17:24:27Z

- bd_acquire() and bd_forget() open-code bdgrab() and bdput() - raw driver uses igrab() but never checks its return value and always holds another ref from bind_set() while calling it, so it's equivalent to bdgrab() Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h

2015-06-02T14:33:34Z

With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup; unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h makes cyclic include dependency quite likely. This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it. c files which need access to more backing-dev details now include backing-dev.h directly. This takes backing-dev.h off the common include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block and cgroup. v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

make new_sync_{read,write}() static

2015-04-12T02:29:40Z

All places outside of core VFS that checked ->read and ->write for being NULL or called the methods directly are gone now, so NULL {read,write} with non-NULL {read,write}_iter will do the right thing in all cases. Signed-off-by: Al Viro

fs: remove mapping->backing_dev_info

2015-01-20T21:03:05Z

Now that we never use the backing_dev_info pointer in struct address_space we can simply remove it and save 4 to 8 bytes in every inode. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Acked-by: Ryusuke Konishi Reviewed-by: Tejun Heo Reviewed-by: Jan Kara Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

Return short read or 0 at end of a raw device, not EIO

2014-10-31T10:33:26Z

Author: David Jeffery Changes to the basic direct I/O code have broken the raw driver when reading to the end of a raw device. Instead of returning a short read for a read that extends partially beyond the device's end or 0 when at the end of the device, these reads now return EIO. The raw driver needs the same end of device handling as was added for normal block devices. Using blkdev_read_iter, which has the needed size checks, prevents the EIO conditions at the end of the device. Signed-off-by: David Jeffery Signed-off-by: Al Viro

raw: test against runtime value of max_raw_minors

2014-02-07T16:29:46Z

bind_get() checks the device number it is called with. It uses MAX_RAW_MINORS for the upper bound. But MAX_RAW_MINORS is set at compile time while the actual number of raw devices can be set at runtime. This means the test can either be too strict or too lenient. And if the test ends up being too lenient bind_get() might try to access memory beyond what was allocated for "raw_devices". So check against the runtime value (max_raw_minors) in this function.

blockdev: remove bd_block_size_semaphore again

2012-11-29T18:52:19Z

This reverts the block-device direct access code to the previous unlocked code, now that fs/buffer.c no longer needs external locking. With this, fs/block_dev.c is back to the original version, apart from a whitespace cleanup that I didn't want to revert. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
