d4430d62fa [PATCH] beginning of methods conversion
To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
	1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both.  That's this changeset.
	2) for each driver convert to new methods.  *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
	3) kill the old (renamed) methods.

Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain.  The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

New methods:
	open(bdev, mode)
	release(disk, mode)
	ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)		/* Called without BKL */
	compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)
	locked_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)	/* Called with BKL, legacy */

01e8ef11bc x86: sysfs: kill owner field from attribute
Tejun's commit 7b595756ec made sysfs
attribute->owner unnecessary.  But the field was left in the structure to
ease the merge.  It's been over a year since that change and it is now
time to start killing attribute->owner along with its users - one arch at
a time!

This patch is attempt #1 to get rid of attribute->owner only for
CONFIG_X86_64 or CONFIG_X86_32 .  We will deal with other arches later on
as and when possible - avr32 will be the next since that is something I
can test.  Compile (make allyesconfig / make allmodconfig / custom config)
and boot tested.

akpm: the idea is that we put the declaration of sttribute.owner inside
`#ifndef CONFIG_X86'.  But that proved to be too ambitious for now because
new usages kept on turning up in subsystem trees.

9e49184c82 floppy: support arbitrary first-sector numbers
The current floppy_struct allows floppies to number sectors starting
from 0 or 1.  This patch allows arbitrary first-sector numbers - for
example, 0xC1 for Amstrad CPC disks.

This extends the existing 1-bit field (FD_ZEROBASED, bit 2 of stretch)
to 8 bits (FD_SECTMASK, bits 2 to 9).

Currently 0x00 denotes a first sector number of 1, and 0x01 denotes a
first sector number of 0.  We extend this by interpreting FD_SECTMASK
as the first sector number with the LSB flipped.

9246b5f06d block: Expand Xen blkfront for > 16 xvd
Until recently, the maximum number of xvd block devices you could attach
to a Xen domU was 16. This limitation turned out to be problematic for
some users, so it was expanded to handle a much larger number of disks.
However, this requires a couple of changes in the way that blkfront
scans for disks. This functionality is already present in the Xen
linux-2.6.18-xen.hg tree; the attached patch adds this functionality to
the mainline xen-blkfront implementation. I successfully tested it on a
2.6.25 tree, and build tested it on 2.6.27-rc3.

* part_round_stats() is updated similary.  It handles part0 stats
  automatically and disk_round_stats() is killed.

* part_{inc|dec}_in_fligh() is implemented which automatically updates
  part0 stats for parts other than part0.

* disk_map_sector_rcu() is updated to return part0 if no part matches.
  Combined with the above changes, this makes NULL special case
  handling in callers unnecessary.

* Separate stats show code paths for disk are collapsed into part
  stats show code paths.

* Rename disk_stat_lock/unlock() to part_stat_lock/unlock()

While at it, reposition stat handling macros a bit and add missing

c995905916 block: fix diskstats access
There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters.  It's unclear
whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
entry as some callers don't do that.

This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access).  diskstats access
should always be enclosed between the two functions.  As such, there's
no need for the versions which disables preemption.  They're removed
and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars.  As an
extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
unconverted.

disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
argument to help RT.

This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
collapses several preemption ops into one at others.  Overall, the
performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
very lightweight per-cpu ones.

e71bf0d0ee block: fix disk->part[] dereferencing race
disk->part[] is protected by its matching bdev's lock.  However,
non-critical accesses like collecting stats and printing out sysfs and
proc information used to be performed without any locking.  As
partitions can come and go dynamically, partitions can go away
underneath those non-critical accesses.  As some of those accesses are
writes, this theoretically can lead to silent corruption.

This patch fixes the race by using RCU for the partition array and dev
reference counter to hold partitions.

* Rename disk->part[] to disk->__part[] to make sure no one outside
  genhd layer proper accesses it directly.

* Use RCU for disk->__part[] dereferencing.

* Implement disk_{get|put}_part() which can be used to get and put
  partitions from gendisk respectively.

* Iterators are implemented to help iterate through all partitions
  safely.

* Functions which require RCU readlock are marked with _rcu suffix.

* Use disk_put_part() in __blkdev_put() instead of directly putting
  the contained kobject.

f331c0296f block: don't depend on consecutive minor space
* Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly

  Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of

  ->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.

766ca4428d virtio_blk: use a wrapper function to access io context information of IO requests
struct request has an ioprio member but it is never updated because
currently bios do not hold io context information. The implication of
this is that virtio_blk ends up passing useless information to the
backend driver.

That said, some IO schedulers such as CFQ do store io context
information in struct request, but use private members for that, which
means that that information cannot be directly accessed in a IO
scheduler-independent way.

This patch adds a function to obtain the ioprio of a request. We should
avoid accessing ioprio directly and use this function instead, so that
its users do not have to care about future changes in block layer
structures or what the currently active IO controller is.

This patch does not introduce any functional changes but paves the way
for future clean-ups and enhancements.

d87798450a aoe: Fix OOPS after SKB queue changes.
Reported by Thomas Graf.

If we don't unlink the SKB from the queue when we send it
out in aoenet_xmit(), dev_hard_start_xmit() will see skb->next
as non-NULL and interpret this to mean the SKB is part of a
GSO segment list.

Add __skb_unlink() call to fix that.
