2008-10-09block: don't depend on consecutive minor spaceTejun Heo1-3/+3
* Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor. Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as ->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary. However, convert them for consistency. * Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing genhd->minors. * Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor space. * Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value). These changes clean up the code and will help disk->part dereference fix and extended block device numbers. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-10-09block: make variable and argument names more consistentTejun Heo1-7/+8
In hd_struct, @partno is used to denote partition number and a number of other places use @part to denote hd_struct. Functions use @part and @index instead. This causes confusion and makes it difficult to use consistent variable names for hd_struct. Always use @partno if a variable represents partition number. Also, print out functions use @f or @part for seq_file argument. Use @seqf uniformly instead. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-10-09block: update add_partition() error handlingTejun Heo1-5/+2
d805dda4 tried to fix error case handling in add_partition() but had a few problems. * disk->part[] entry is set early and left dangling if operation fails. * Once device initialized, the last put_device() is responsible for freeing all the resources. The failure path freed part_stats and p regardless of put_device() causing double free. * holders subdir holds reference to the disk device, so failure path should remove it to release resources properly which was missing. This patch fixes the above problems and while at it move partition slot busy check into add_partition() for completeness and inlines holders subdirectory creation. Using separate function for it just obfuscates the code. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Abdel Benamrouche <draconux@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2008-10-09block: allow deleting zero length partitionTejun Heo1-2/+0
delete_partition() was noop for zero length partition. As the addition code allows creating zero lenght partition and deletion is assumed to always succeed, this causes memory leak for zero length partitions. Allow zero length partitions to end their meaningless lives. While at it, allow deleting zero lenght partition via BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION ioctl too.

2008-10-09Allow elevators to sort/merge discard requestsDavid Woodhouse1-1/+1
But blkdev_issue_discard() still emits requests which are interpreted as soft barriers, because naïve callers might otherwise issue subsequent writes to those same sectors, which might cross on the queue (if they're reallocated quickly enough). Callers still _can_ issue non-barrier discard requests, but they have to take care of queue ordering for themselves.

2008-10-09Add BLKDISCARD ioctl to allow userspace to discard sectorsDavid Woodhouse1-0/+76
We may well want mkfs tools to use this to mark the whole device as unwanted before they format it, for example. The ioctl takes a pair of uint64_ts, which are start offset and length in _bytes_. Although at the moment it might make sense for them both to be in 512-byte sectors, I don't want to limit the ABI to that.

2007-02-10[PARTITION]: Add whole_disk attribute.Fabio Massimo Di Nitto1-1/+1
Some partitioning systems create special partitions that span the entire disk. One example are Sun partitions, and this whole-disk partition exists to tell the firmware the extent of the entire device so it can load the boot block and do other things. Such partitions should not be treated as normal partitions, because all the other partitions overlap this whole-disk one. So we'd see multiple instances of the same UUID etc. which we do not want. udev and friends can thus search for this 'whole_disk' attribute and use it to decide to ignore the partition.

Export blkdev_driver_ioctl for device-mapper.

2006-01-08[PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device methodChristoph Hellwig1-0/+22
HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now. [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard sector size.
