block: remove the rsxx driver

2021-12-16T17:57:04Z

This driver was for rare and shortlived high end enterprise hardware and hasn't been maintained since 2014, which also means it never got converted to use blk-mq. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: remove support for cryptoloop and the xor transfer

2021-10-22T14:34:58Z

Support for cyrptoloop has been officially marked broken and deprecated in favor of dm-crypt (which supports the same broken algorithms if needed) in Linux 2.6.4 (released in March 2004), and support for it has been entirely removed from losetup in util-linux 2.23 (released in April 2013). The XOR transfer has never been more than a toy to demonstrate the transfer in the bad old times of crypto export restrictions. Remove them as they have some nasty interactions with loop device life times due to the iteration over all loop devices in loop_unregister_transfer.

drivers/block: remove the umem driver

2021-03-24T12:57:40Z

This removes the driver on the premise that it has been unused for a long time. This is a better approach compared to changing untestable code nobody cares about in the first place. Similarly, the umem.com website now shows a mere Godaddy parking add. Acked-by: NeilBrown Suggested-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

xsysace: Remove SYSACE driver

2021-03-23T16:27:38Z

Sysace IP is no longer used on Xilinx PowerPC 405/440 and Microblaze systems. The driver is not regularly tested and very likely not working for quite a long time that's why remove it. Signed-off-by: Michal Simek Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

block: Add n64 cart driver

2021-02-21T22:37:28Z

This adds support for the Nintendo 64 console's carts. Carts are a read-only media ranging from 8mb to 64mb. Only one cart can be connected at once, and switching it requires a reboot. No module support to save RAM, as the target has 8mb RAM.

block: remove skd driver

2021-02-04T14:45:32Z

The STEC S1220 PCIe SSD cards are EOL since 2014 and not supported by the vendor anymore. As the skd driver for this SSD is starting to cause problems with improvements to the block layer, stop supporting it in newer kernel versions. Signed-off-by: Damien Le Moal Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe

null_blk: add tracepoint helpers for zoned mode

2020-03-27T19:39:10Z

This patch adds two new tracpoints for null_blk_zoned.c that allows us to trace report-zones, zone-mgmt-op and zone-write operations which has direct effect on the zone condition state machine. Also, we update drivers/block/Makefile so that new null_blk related tracefiles can be compiled. Signed-off-by: Chaitanya Kulkarni Reviewed-by: Damien Le Moal Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
