2006-01-04	[PATCH] Driver core: Make block devices create the proper symlink name	Greg Kroah-Hartman	1	-2/+25
	Block devices need to add the block device name to the symlink they put in the device directory, otherwise multiple symlinks of the same name can be created. This matches the class system, which works the same way, we just forgot to convert block at the same time. Cc: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-01-04	[PATCH] driver core: replace "hotplug" by "uevent"	Kay Sievers	1	-3/+3
	Leave the overloaded "hotplug" word to susbsystems which are handling real devices. The driver core does not "plug" anything, it just exports the state to userspace and generates events. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-11-01	[BLOCK] Unify the seperate read/write io stat fields into arrays	Jens Axboe	1	-3/+4
	Instead of having ->read_sectors and ->write_sectors, combine the two into ->sectors[2] and similar for the other fields. This saves a branch several places in the io path, since we don't have to care for what the actual io direction is. On my x86-64 box, that's 200 bytes less text in just the core (not counting the various drivers). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2005-10-28	Merge ../bleed-2.6	Greg KH	1	-1/+1

2005-10-28	[PATCH] add sysfs attr to re-emit device hotplug event	Kay Sievers	1	-1/+26
	A "coldplug + udevstart" can be simple like this: for i in /sys/block///uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done for i in /sys/class///uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done for i in /sys/bus//devices//uevent; do echo 1 > $i; done Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-10-28	[patch] remove gendisk->stamp_idle field	Chen, Kenneth W	1	-1/+1
	struct gendisk has these two fields: stamp, stamp_idle. Update to stamp_idle is always in sync with stamp and they are always the same. Therefore, it does not add any value in having two fields tracking same timestamp. Suggest to remove it. Also, we should only update gendisk stats with non-zero value. Advantage is that we don't have to needlessly calculate memory address, and then add zero to the content. Signed-off-by: Ken Chen <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de>
2005-06-25	[PATCH] small partitions/msdos cleanups	Adrian Bunk	1	-3/+0
	This patch makes the following changes to the msdos partition code: - remove CONFIG_NEC98_PARTITION leftovers - make parse_bsd static This patch was already ACK'ed by Andries Brouwer.

2005-04-18	[PATCH] kobject/hotplug split - block core	kay.sievers@vrfy.org	1	-0/+2
	kobject_add() and kobject_del() don't emit hotplug events anymore. Do it ourselves if we are finished populating the device directory. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@vrfy.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+445
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
