2008-05-13Fix misuses of bdevname()Jean Delvare
bdevname() fills the buffer that it is given as a parameter, so calling strcpy() or snprintf() on the returned value is redundant (and probably not guaranteed to work - I don't think strcpy and snprintf support overlapping buffers.)

2008-04-17ide: remove broken/dangerous HDIO_[UNREGISTER,SCAN]_HWIF ioctls (take 3)Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz
hdparm explicitely marks HDIO_[UNREGISTER,SCAN]_HWIF ioctls as DANGEROUS and given the number of bugs we can assume that there are no real users: * DMA has no chance of working because DMA resources are released by ide_unregister() and they are never allocated again. * Since ide_init_hwif_ports() is used for ->io_ports[] setup the ioctls don't work for almost all hosts with "non-standard" (== non ISA-like) layout of IDE taskfile registers (there is a lot of such host drivers). * ide_port_init_devices() is not called when probing IDE devices so: - drive->autotune is never set and IDE host/devices are not programmed for the correct PIO/DMA transfer modes (=> possible data corruption) - host specific I/O 32-bit and IRQ unmasking settings are not applied (=> possible data corruption) - host specific ->port_init_devs method is not called (=> no luck with ht6560b, qd65xx and opti621 host drivers) * ->rw_disk method is not preserved (=> no HPT3xxN chipsets support). * ->serialized flag is not preserved (=> possible data corruption when using icside, aec62xx (ATP850UF chipset), cmd640, cs5530, hpt366 (HPT3xxN chipsets), rz1000, sc1200, dtc2278 and ht6560b host drivers). * ->ack_intr method is not preserved (=> needed by ide-cris, buddha, gayle and macide host drivers). * ->sata_scr[] and sata_misc[] is cleared by ide_unregister() and it isn't initialized again (SiI3112 support needs them). * To issue an ioctl() there need to be at least one IDE device present in the system. * ->cable_detect method is not preserved + it is not called when probing IDE devices so cable detection is broken (however since DMA support is also broken it doesn't really matter ;-). * Some objects which may have already been freed in ide_unregister() are restored by ide_hwif_restore() (i.e. ->hwgroup). * ide_register_hw() may unregister unrelated IDE ports if free ide_hwifs[] slot cannot be found. * When IDE host drivers are modular unregistered port may be re-used by different host driver that owned it first causing subtle bugs. Since we now have a proper warm-plug support remove these ioctls, then remove no longer needed: - ide_register_hw() and ide_hwif_restore() functions - 'init_default' and 'restore' arguments of ide_unregister() - zeroeing of hwif->{dma,extra}_* fields in ide_unregister() As an added bonus IDE core code size shrinks by ~3kB (x86-32). v2: * fix ide_unregister() arguments in cleanup_module() (Andrew Morton). v3: * fix ide_unregister() arguments in palm_bk3710.c.

2008-01-28blktrace: Add blktrace ioctls to SCSI generic devicesChristof Schmitt
Since the SCSI layer uses the request queues from the block layer, blktrace can also be used to trace the requests to all SCSI devices (like SCSI tape drives), not only disks. The only missing part is the ioctl interface to start and stop tracing. This patch adds the SETUP, START, STOP and TEARDOWN ioctls from blktrace to the sg device files. With this change, blktrace can be used for SCSI devices like for disks, e.g.: blktrace -d /dev/sg1 -o - | blkparse -i - Signed-off-by: Christof Schmitt <christof.schmitt@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-29compat_ioctl: fix block device compat ioctl regressionPhilip Langdale
The conversion of handlers to compat_blkdev_ioctl accidentally disabled handling of most ioctl numbers on block devices because of a typo. Fix the one line to enable it all again. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@carl.home.kernel.dk>
2007-10-10compat_ioctl: move floppy handlers to block/compat_ioctl.cArnd Bergmann
The floppy ioctls are used by multiple drivers, so they should be handled in a shared location. Also, add minor cleanups. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-10compat_ioctl: move cdrom handlers to block/compat_ioctl.cArnd Bergmann
These are shared by all cd-rom drivers and should have common handlers. Do slight cosmetic cleanups in the process. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-10compat_ioctl: move BLKPG handling to block/compat_ioctl.cArnd Bergmann
BLKPG is common to all block devices, so it should be handled by common code. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2007-10-10compat_ioctl: handle blk_trace ioctlsArnd Bergmann
blk_trace_setup is broken on x86_64 compat systems, this makes the code work correctly on all 64 bit architectures in compat mode. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-10compat_ioctl: add compat_blkdev_driver_ioctl()Arnd Bergmann
Handle those blockdev ioctl calls that are compatible directly from the compat_blkdev_ioctl() function, instead of having to go through the compat_ioctl hash lookup. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-10compat_ioctl: move common block ioctls to compat_blkdev_ioctlArnd Bergmann
Make compat_blkdev_ioctl and blkdev_ioctl reflect the respective native versions. This is somewhat more efficient and makes it easier to keep the two in sync. Also get rid of the bogus handling for broken_blkgetsize and the duplicate entry for BLKRASET. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
