* [DISKLABEL] SUN: Fix signed int usage for sector countJeff Mahoney2006-08-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current sun disklabel code uses a signed int for the sector count. When partitions larger than 1 TB are used, the cast to a sector_t causes the partition sizes to be invalid: # cat /proc/paritions | grep sdan 66 112 2146435072 sdan 66 115 9223372036853660736 sdan3 66 120 9223372036853660736 sdan8 This patch switches the sector count to an unsigned int to fix this.

* [PATCH] partitions: let partitions inherit policy from diskPeter Oberparleiter2006-07-101-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the partition code in fs/partitions/check.c to initialize a newly detected partition's policy field with that of the containing block device (see patch below). My reasoning is that function set_disk_ro() in block/genhd.c modifies the policy field (read-only indicator) of a disk and all contained partitions. When a partition is detected after the call to set_disk_ro(), the policy field of this partition will currently not inherit the disk's policy field. This behavior poses a problem in cases where a block device can be 'logically de- and reactivated' like e.g. the s390 DASD driver because partition detection may run after the policy field has been modified.

* [PATCH] make kernel warn about incorrectly sized partitionsMike Miller2006-06-231-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Sometimes partitions claim to be larger than the reported capacity of a disk device. This patch makes the kernel warn about those partitions. We still permit these patitions to be used. Quoting Andries Brouwer <Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>: Case 1: The kernel is mistaken about the size of the disk. (There are commands to clip a disk to a certain capacity, there are jumpers to tell a disk that it should report a certain capacity etc. Usually this is because of BIOS bugs. In bad cases the machine will crash in the BIOS and hence fail to boot if the disk reports full capacity.) In such cases actually accessing the blocks of the partition may work fine, or may work fine after running an unclip utility. I wrote "setmax" some years ago precisely for this reason. Case 2: There was a messy partition table (maybe just a rounding error) but the actual filesystem on the partition is contained in the physical disk. Now using the filesystem goes without problem. Case 3: Both partition and filesystem extend beyond the end of the disk. In forensic or debugging situations one often uses a copy of the start of a disk. Now access beyond the end gives an expected I/O error.

* [PATCH] Driver core: add generic "subsystem" link to all devicesKay Sievers2006-06-211-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | Like the SUBSYTEM= key we find in the environment of the uevent, this creates a generic "subsystem" link in sysfs for every device. Userspace usually doesn't care at all if its a "class" or a "bus" device. This provides an unified way to determine the subsytem of a device, regardless of the way the driver core has created it.

* Alternative fix for MMC oops on unmount after removalLinus Torvalds2006-05-121-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make sure to clear the driverfs_dev pointer when we do del_gendisk() (on disk removal), so that other users that may still have a ref to the disk won't try to use the stale pointer. Also move the KOBJ_REMOVE uevent handler up, so that the uevent still has access to the driverfs_dev data. This all should hopefully fix the problems with MMC umounts after device removals that caused commit 56cf6504fc1c0c221b82cebc16a444b684140fb7 and its reversal (1a2acc9e9214699a99389e323e6686e9e0e2ca67).

* [PATCH] BLOCK: delay all uevents until partition table is scannedKay Sievers2006-04-141-8/+30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [BLOCK] delay all uevents until partition table is scanned Here we delay the annoucement of all block device events until the disk's partition table is scanned and all partition devices are already created and sysfs is populated. We have a bunch of old bugs for removable storage handling where we probe successfully for a filesystem on the raw disk, but at the same time the kernel recognizes a partition table and creates partition devices. Currently there is no sane way to tell if partitions will show up or not at the time the disk device is announced to userspace. With the delayed events we can simply skip any probe for a filesystem on the raw disk when we find already present partitions.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DASD allows to open a device as soon as gendisk is registered, which means the device is a fake device (capacity=0) and we do know nothing about blocksize and partitions at that point of time. In case the device is opened by someone, the bdev and inode creation is done with the fake device info and the following partition detection code is just using the wrong data. To avoid this modify the DASD state machine to make sure that the open is rejected until the device analysis is either finished or an unformatted device was detected.

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!
