| * cdrom: Add support for Sega Dreamcast GD-ROM.Adrian McMenamin2008-01-281-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for the GD-Rom drive, SEGA's proprietary implementation of an IDE CD Rom for the SEGA Dreamcast. This driver implements Sega's Packet Interface (SPI) - at least partially. It will also read disks in SEGA's propreitary GD format. Unlike previous drivers (which were never in mainline) this uses DMA and not PIO to read disks. It is a new driver, not a refactoring of old drivers.

* | blk_end_request: changing xsysace (take 4)Kiyoshi Ueda2008-01-281-4/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch converts xsysace to use blk_end_request interfaces. Related 'uptodate' arguments are converted to 'error'. xsysace is a little bit different from "normal" drivers. xsysace driver has a state machine in it. It calls end_that_request_first() and end_that_request_last() from different states. (ACE_FSM_STATE_REQ_TRANSFER and ACE_FSM_STATE_REQ_COMPLETE, respectively.) However, those states are consecutive and without any interruption inbetween. So we can just follow the standard conversion rule (b) mentioned in the patch subject "[PATCH 01/30] blk_end_request: add new request completion interface".

* virtio: fix module/device unloadingRusty Russell2007-11-191-3/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | The virtio code never hooked through the ->remove callback. Although noone supports device removal at the moment, this code is already needed for module unloading. This of course also revealed bugs in virtio_blk, virtio_net and lguest unloading paths. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
* rd: fix data corruption on memory pressureChristian Borntraeger2007-11-141-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have seen ramdisk based install systems, where some pages of mapped libraries and programs were suddendly zeroed under memory pressure. This should not happen, as the ramdisk avoids freeing its pages by keeping them dirty all the time. It turns out that there is a case, where the VM makes a ramdisk page clean, without telling the ramdisk driver. On memory pressure shrink_zone runs and it starts to run shrink_active_list. There is a check for buffer_heads_over_limit, and if true, pagevec_strip is called. pagevec_strip calls try_to_release_page. If the mapping has no releasepage callback, try_to_free_buffers is called. try_to_free_buffers has now a special logic for some file systems to make a dirty page clean, if all buffers are clean. Thats what happened in our test case. The simplest solution is to provide a noop-releasepage callback for the ramdisk driver. This avoids try_to_free_buffers for ramdisk pages.

* paride: pf driver fixesOndrej Zary2007-11-141-11/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The pf driver for parallel port floppy drives seems to be broken. At least with Imation SuperDisk with EPAT chip, the driver calls pi_connect() and pi_disconnect after each transferred sector. At least with EPAT, this operation is very expensive - causes drive recalibration. Thus, transferring even a single byte (dd if=/dev/pf0 of=/dev/null bs=1 count=1) takes 20 seconds, making the driver useless. The pf_next_buf() function seems to be broken as it returns 1 always (except when pf_run is non-zero), causing the loop in do_pf_read_drq (and do_pf_write_drq) to be executed only once. The following patch fixes this problem. It also fixes swapped descriptions in pf_lock() function and removes DBMSG macro, which seems useless.

* [NET]: Add the helper kernel_sock_shutdown()Trond Myklebust2007-11-121-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ...and fix a couple of bugs in the NBD, CIFS and OCFS2 socket handlers. Looking at the sock->op->shutdown() handlers, it looks as if all of them take a SHUT_RD/SHUT_WR/SHUT_RDWR argument instead of the RCV_SHUTDOWN/SEND_SHUTDOWN arguments. Add a helper, and then define the SHUT_* enum to ensure that kernel users of shutdown() don't get confused.

This happened to work for ia64, powerpc, sparc64 and x86 because they happened to drag in that file via their <asm/dma-mapping.h>. On most of the others this probably broke. Instead of increasing the header file spider web I choose to include <linux/scatterlist.h> directly into the affectes files.

* Block driver using virtio.Rusty Russell2007-10-233-0/+315
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector and inbuf id. The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last sg is the status byte. Whether the N entries are in or out depends on whether it's a read or a write. We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported. It's not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir(). Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd, CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace. This needs a separate patch.
