2006-02-24[PATCH] uml: tidying COW codePaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Improve (especially for coherence) some prototypes, and return code of init_cow_file in error case - for a short write return -EINVAL, otherwise return the error we got!

2006-01-18[PATCH] uml: allow again to move backing file and to override saved locationPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
When the user specifies both a COW file and its backing file, if the previous backing file is not found, currently UML tries again to use it and fails. This can be corrected by changing same_backing_files() return value in that case, so that the caller will try to change the COW file to point to the new location, as already done in other cases. Additionally, given the change in the meaning of the func, change its name, invert its return value, so all values are inverted except when stat(from_cow,&buf2) fails. And add some comments and two minor bugfixes - remove a fd leak (return err rather than goto out) and a repeated check. Tested well.

The HDIO_GETGEO patch left an unused variable in the UML block driver. This gets rid of it. Signed-off-by: Jeff Dike <jdike@addtoit.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-01-08[PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device methodChristoph Hellwig
HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now. [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard sector size.

2006-01-06[PATCH] uml: non-void functions should return somethingJeff Dike
There are a few functions which are declared to return something, but don't. These are actually infinite loops which are forced to be declared as non-void. This makes them all return 0.

2006-01-06[PATCH] uml: use kstrdupJeff Dike
There were a bunch of calls to uml_strdup dating from before kstrdup was introduced. This changes those calls. It doesn't eliminate the definition since there is still a couple of calls in userspace code (which should probably call the libc strdup).

2005-10-12[PATCH] uml: revert block driver use of host AIOJeff Dike
The patch to use host AIO support that I submitted early after 2.6.13 exposed some problems in the block driver. I have fixes for these, but am not comfortable putting them into 2.6.14 at this late date. So, this patch reverts the use of host AIO. I will resubmit the original patch, plus fixes to the driver after 2.6.14 in order to get a reasonable amount of testing before they're exposed to the general public.

2005-09-05[PATCH] uml: add host AIO support to block driverJeff Dike
This adds AIO support to the ubd driver. The driver breaks a struct request into IO requests to the host, based on the hardware segments in the request and on any COW blocks covered by the request. The ubd IO thread is gone, since there is now an equivalent thread in the AIO module. There is provision for multiple outstanding requests now. Requests aren't retired until all pieces of it have been completed. The AIO requests have a shared count, which is decremented as IO operations come in until it reaches 0. This can be possibly moved to the request struct - haven't looked at this yet.

2005-06-25[PATCH] uml: hot-unplug code cleanupJeff Dike
Clean up the hot-unplugging code. There is now an id procedure which is called to figure out what device we're talking to. The error messages from that are now done from mconsole_remove instead of the driver. remove is now called with the device number, after it has been checked, so doesn't need to do sanity checking on it.

2005-05-01[PATCH] uml ubd: handle readonly statusPaolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso
Use the set_disk_ro() API when the backing file is read-only, to mark the disk read-only, during the ->open(). The current hack does not work when doing a mount -o remount. Also, mark explicitly the code paths which should no more be triggerable (I've removed the WARN_ON(1) things). They should actually become BUG()s probably but I'll avoid that since I'm not so sure the change works so well. I gave it only some limited testing.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
