2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: add exportsAlasdair G Kergon
Move definitions of core device-mapper functions for manipulating mapped devices and their tables to <linux/device-mapper.h> advertising their availability for use elsewhere in the kernel. Protect the contents of device-mapper.h with ifdef __KERNEL__. And throw in a few formatting clean-ups and extra comments.

2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: consolidate creation functionsAlasdair G Kergon

2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: fix block device initialisationJeff Mahoney
In alloc_dev(), we register the device with the block layer and then continue to initialize the device. But register_disk() makes the device available to be opened before we have completed initialising it. This patch moves the final bits of the initialization above the disk registration.

2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: add module ref countingJeff Mahoney
The reference counting on dm-mod is zero if no mapped devices are open. This is incorrect, and can lead to an oops if the module is unloaded while mapped devices exist. This patch claims a reference to the module whenever a device is created, and drops it again when the device is freed. Devices must be removed before dm-mod is unloaded.

2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: add DMF_FREEINGJeff Mahoney
There is a chicken and egg problem between the block layer and dm in which the gendisk associated with a mapping keeps a reference-less pointer to the mapped_device. This patch uses a new flag DMF_FREEING to indicate when the mapped_device is no longer valid. This is checked to prevent any attempt to open the device from succeeding while the device is being destroyed.

2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: change minor_lock to spinlockJeff Mahoney
While removing a device, another another thread might attempt to resurrect it. This patch replaces the _minor_lock mutex with a spinlock and uses atomic_dec_and_lock() to serialize reference counting in dm_put().

2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: move idr_pre_getJeff Mahoney
idr_pre_get() can sleep while allocating memory. The next patch will change _minor_lock into a spinlock, so this patch moves idr_pre_get() outside the lock in preparation.

2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: fix idr minor allocationJeff Mahoney
One part of the system can attempt to use a mapped device before another has finished initialising it or while it is being freed. This patch introduces a place holder value, MINOR_ALLOCED, to mark the minor as allocated but in a state where it can't be used, such as mid-allocation or mid-free. At the end of the initialization, it replaces the place holder with the pointer to the mapped_device, making it available to the rest of the dm subsystem.

The code that handles bios that span table target boundaries by breaking them up into smaller bios will not split an individual struct bio_vec into more than two pieces. Sometimes more than that are required. This patch adds a loop to break the second piece up into as many pieces as are necessary.

2005-07-28[PATCH] device-mapper: fix md->lock deadlocks in coreAlasdair G Kergon
This patch is an attempt to fix deadlocks discovered in the core dm. The problems boil down to md->lock having to be held in too many places, so I've split it into two: md->suspend_lock and md->io_lock. suspend_lock is now held throughout dm_suspended() as well as dm_resume() and dm_swap_table() so that these functions cannot run concurrently: there's no requirement for that and it added complexity. DMF_FS_LOCKED becomes redundant: DMF_SUSPENDED provides adequate protection.

To avoid deadlock when suspending a multipath device after all its paths have failed, stop queueing any I/O that is about to fail *before* calling freeze_bdev instead of after. Instead of setting a multipath 'suspended' flag which would have to be reset if an error occurs during the process, save the previous queueing state and leave userspace to restore if it wishes.

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!
