linux.git/drivers/block/loop.c, branch v4.10.1

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

loop: return proper error from loop_queue_rq()

2016-11-14T22:58:44+00:00

->queue_rq() should return one of the BLK_MQ_RQ_QUEUE_* constants, not
an errno.

kthread: kthread worker API cleanup

2016-10-11T22:06:33+00:00

A good practice is to prefix the names of functions by the name
of the subsystem.

The kthread worker API is a mix of classic kthreads and workqueues.  Each
worker has a dedicated kthread.  It runs a generic function that process
queued works.  It is implemented as part of the kthread subsystem.

This patch renames the existing kthread worker API to use
the corresponding name from the workqueues API prefixed by
kthread_:

__init_kthread_worker()		-> __kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_init_worker()
init_kthread_work()		-> kthread_init_work()
insert_kthread_work()		-> kthread_insert_work()
queue_kthread_work()		-> kthread_queue_work()
flush_kthread_work()		-> kthread_flush_work()
flush_kthread_worker()		-> kthread_flush_worker()

Note that the names of DEFINE_KTHREAD_WORK*() macros stay
as they are. It is common that the "DEFINE_" prefix has
precedence over the subsystem names.

Note that INIT() macros and init() functions use different
naming scheme. There is no good solution. There are several
reasons for this solution:

  + "init" in the function names stands for the verb "initialize"
    aka "initialize worker". While "INIT" in the macro names
    stands for the noun "INITIALIZER" aka "worker initializer".

  + INIT() macros are used only in DEFINE() macros

  + init() functions are used close to the other kthread()
    functions. It looks much better if all the functions
    use the same scheme.

  + There will be also kthread_destroy_worker() that will
    be used close to kthread_cancel_work(). It is related
    to the init() function. Again it looks better if all
    functions use the same naming scheme.

  + there are several precedents for such init() function
    names, e.g. amd_iommu_init_device(), free_area_init_node(),
    jump_label_init_type(),  regmap_init_mmio_clk(),

  + It is not an argument but it was inconsistent even before.

blk-mq: remove ->map_queue

2016-09-15T14:42:03+00:00

All drivers use the default, so provide an inline version of it.  If we
ever need other queue mapping we can add an optional method back,
although supporting will also require major changes to the queue setup
code.

This provides better code generation, and better debugability as well.

block, drivers: add REQ_OP_FLUSH operation

2016-06-07T19:41:38+00:00

This adds a REQ_OP_FLUSH operation that is sent to request_fn
based drivers by the block layer's flush code, instead of
sending requests with the request->cmd_flags REQ_FLUSH bit set.

drivers: use req op accessor

2016-06-07T19:41:38+00:00

The req operation REQ_OP is separated from the rq_flag_bits
definition. This converts the block layer drivers to
use req_op to get the op from the request struct.

block, drivers, cgroup: use op_is_write helper instead of checking for REQ_WRITE

2016-06-07T19:41:38+00:00

We currently set REQ_WRITE/WRITE for all non READ IOs
like discard, flush, writesame, etc. In the next patches where we
no longer set up the op as a bitmap, we will not be able to
detect a operation direction like writesame by testing if REQ_WRITE is
set.

This patch converts the drivers and cgroup to use the
op_is_write helper. This should just cover the simple
cases. I did dm, md and bcache in their own patches
because they were more involved.
