From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Attached is a patch which replaces all the uses of the old device tree API in arch/ppc64. Patch is against 2.6.0-test5 (cset 1.1328) from ameslab bk, plus the patch from my previous message. I've tested this on a pSeries LPAR.

From: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> This is an adaptation of the new Open Firmware device tree traversal API from ppc32, originally written by Benjamin Herrenschmidt. This patch is against 2.6.0-test3, but should apply ok to the latest 2.5 ameslab tree. These functions are meant to be SMP-safe alternatives to the current set of query/traversal routines (find_devices, find_type_devices, et al).

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk raw.c has a refcounting bug (patch attached). As for the theory... If you have a pathname - use filp_open() or open_bdev_excl() and be done with that. bdget() et.al. are OK only if you really have nothing better than device number and that's a situation that should be avoided unless you really have no choice. Said that, we have the following primitives: * lookup_bdev(): takes a pathname, returns a reference to block_device. * bdget(): takes a number, returns a reference to block_device. * blkdev_get(): takes a reference to block_device and opens it. If open fails - drops the reference to block_device passed to it. * blkdev_put(): takes a reference to block_device and closes it. The reference is dropped. * bdput(): drops a reference to block_device. Note that behaviour of blkdev_get() and blkdev_put() is such that it makes for minimal cleanup code. bd_claim()/bd_release() is the exclusion mechanism - that's what mount, swapon, open with O_EXCL, etc. are using to avoid stepping on each others toes. bd_claim() claims bdev for given owner; if it's already owned and not by the same owner you'll get -EBUSY. bd_release() reverts the effect of bd_claim(). Note that if you claim the thing N times (with the same owner, obviously), you'll need N bd_release() before it stops being owned. raw.c grabbed a reference to bdev only after blkdev_get(). If blkdev_get() failed (e.g. media being absent), you've got an unbalanced bdput().

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk Patch switches cramfs_read() to direct use of pagecache and eliminates all messing with buffer_heads. Fixes the interaction with ramdisk (there set_blocksize() simply killed the ramdisk contents) and gets code less brittle overall.

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> For bdevfs inodes (ones created along with struct block_device by fs/block_dev.c) we have inode->i_bdev equal to &BDEV_I(inode)->bdev (i.e. it's at the constant offset from inode). New helper added for such inodes (I_BDEV(inode)). A bunch of places (mostly in block_dev.c) switched to use of that helper. A bunch of places that used file->f_dentry->d_inode->i_bdev->bd_inode switched to file->f_mapping->host - those expressions are equal whenever the former is valid.

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> In a bunch of places we used file->f_dentry->d_inode->i_sem to protect fdatasync et.al. Replaced with corrent file->f_mapping->host->i_sem - the object we are protecting is address_space, so we want an exclusion that would work for redirected ->i_mapping. For normal files (not coda, not bdev) it's all the same, of course - there we have file->f_mapping->host == file->f_dentry->d_inode and change above is an equivalent transfromation.

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> New field of struct file - ->f_mapping. We maintain the following: file->f_dentry->d_inode->i_mapping == file->f_mapping for all opened files.

From: viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk <viro@parcelfarce.linux.theplanet.co.uk> presto_journal_close() switched to passing struct presto_file_data * instead of bogus struct file *. The only field of struct file we used to look at was file->private_data and most of the callers allocated on-stack struct file, assigned file.private_data and passed the sucker to presto_journal_close(). Idiocy removed. Looks like they started with case where the data they wanted all along was, indeed, in ->private_data of already available struct file, so they just passed pointer to struct file. And when they found that they need to call it in other places where there was no such struct file, they'd done it the dumb way instead of fixing the prototype...

The first of a series which move us toward blockdev hotplug support. After these we have achieved the following: a) For "normal" (not bdevfs) inodes of block devices we never look at ->i_mapping. b) For the same inodes we only look at ->i_bdev in bd_acquire() where it's used only as "here's what we'd found the last time" sort of cached value. If it's NULL, we just recalculate it. c) Lots of messy expressions had been trimmed down, while we are at it. (a) and (b) allow us to start doing proper block hotplug - we can destroy the association between inode and bdev at any time, unhash bdev in question and have new open() do everything from scratch, without waiting for old opened files to close. The goal is to be able to say "revoke everything over that gendisk"/"revoke that partition" and have it do the right thing. This patch: Where the old code called (block device) ->open(inode, file), use ->open(inode->i_bdev->bd_inode, file). Changes in drivers: * none to those that only used inode->i_bdev and inode->i_rdev in their ->open() (bdev->bd_inode->i_bdev == bdev, so we are OK) * floppy.c and floppy98.c used to call permission(inode, ...) in floppy_open(). Switched to permission(file->f_dentry->d_inode, ...)

From: Ben Slusky <sluskyb@paranoiacs.org> We need to set the hardsect_size of the loop device to that of the real device. The loop device advertises a block size of 1024 even when configured over a cdrom. When burning a ext2 on a cd, and mounting it directly, I get: blocksize=2048; when I losetup /dev/loop0 /dev/cdrom, and then try to mount, I get: blocksize=1024; and then misaligned transfer; this results in not being able to read the superblock. The loop device should be changed to export the same blocksize of the underlying device
