* [PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 5Arjan van de Ven2007-02-122-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

* [S390] ETR support.Martin Schwidefsky2007-02-052-18/+39
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for clock synchronization to an external time reference (ETR). The external time reference sends an oscillator signal and a synchronization signal every 2^20 microseconds to keep the TOD clocks of all connected servers in sync. For availability two ETR units can be connected to a machine. If the clock deviates for more than the sync-check tolerance all cpus get a machine check that indicates that the clock is out of sync. For the lovely details how to get the clock back in sync see the code below. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [S390] dasd: fix unconditional reserve handling.Horst Hummel2007-02-052-6/+6
| | | | | | | | | | The reserve/release IOCTLs sometimes do not work. If second system does a 'steal lock' the pending unit check (Format 3 Msg F) is delivered. Since ERP is disabled for reserve/release, the IOCTL call fails. We have to allow basic ERP (retries) for reserve/release IOCTLs.

* [S390] dasd: fix bug in dasd initialization cleanupStefan Weinhuber2007-02-051-7/+17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The initialization of the dasd_eer code is one of the last steps of the dasd driver initialization. When initialization fails in one of the earlier steps, the dasd_exit function is called to clean up what has been done so far. So the dasd_eer_exit function may be called, although the dasd_eer_init function wasn't called before and dasd_eer_exit tries to unregister a misc device that wasn't registered, which results in a BUG. Make sure that dasd_eer_exit can be called without initialization. Use a dynamically allocated struct miscdevice instead of a static one, so we only try to unregister the device if it exists and was actually registered.

* [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer [try #6]David Howells2006-09-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make it possible to disable the block layer. Not all embedded devices require it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require the block layer to be present. This patch does the following: (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev support. (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls an item that uses the block layer. This includes: (*) Block I/O tracing. (*) Disk partition code. (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS. (*) The SCSI layer. As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the block layer to do scheduling. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities - such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this. (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM drivers. (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL. (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book. (*) Makes most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set. sector_div() is, however, still used in places, and so is still available. (*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and parts of linux/fs.h. (*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK is not enabled. (*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set: (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening). (*) Makes some /proc changes: (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs. (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK. (*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified. (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined. This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2. (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return error ENOSYS by way of cond_syscall if so). (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.

* [PATCH] Split struct request ->flags into two partsJens Axboe2006-09-303-3/+3

* [S390] Inline assembly cleanup.Martin Schwidefsky2006-09-282-66/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | Major cleanup of all s390 inline assemblies. They now have a common coding style. Quite a few have been shortened, mainly by using register asm variables. Use of the EX_TABLE macro helps as well. The atomic ops, bit ops and locking inlines new use the Q-constraint if a newer gcc is used. That results in slightly better code.

* [S390] dasd deadlock after state change pending interrupt.Martin Schwidefsky2006-09-203-28/+51
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The dasd_device_from_cdev function is called from interrupt context to get the struct dasd_device associated with a ccw device. The driver_data of the ccw device points to the dasd_devmap structure which contains the pointer to the dasd_device structure. The lock that protects the dasd_devmap structure is acquire with out irqsave. To prevent the deadlock in dasd_device_from_cdev if it is called from interrupt context the dependency to the dasd_devmap structure needs to be removed. Let the driver_data of the ccw device point to the dasd_device structure directly and use the ccw device lock to protect the access. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
