1ad7e89940 block: store partition_meta_info.uuid as a string
This will allow other types of UUID to be stored here, aside from true
UUIDs.  This also simplifies code that uses this field, since it's usually
constructed from a, used as a, or compared to other, strings.

Note: A simplistic approach here would be to set uuid_str[36]=0 whenever a
/PARTNROFF option was found to be present.  However, this modifies the
input string, and causes subsequent calls to devt_from_partuuid() not to
see the /PARTNROFF option, which causes different results.  In order to
avoid misleading future maintainers, this parameter is marked const.

c83f6bf98d block: add partition resize function to blkpg ioctl
Add a new operation code (BLKPG_RESIZE_PARTITION) to the BLKPG ioctl that
allows altering the size of an existing partition, even if it is currently
in use.

This patch converts hd_struct->nr_sects into sequence counter because
One might extend a partition while IO is happening to it and update of
nr_sects can be non-atomic on 32bit machines with 64bit sector_t. This
can lead to issues like reading inconsistent size of a partition. Sequence
counter have been used so that readers don't have to take bdev mutex lock
as we call sector_in_part() very frequently.

Now all the access to hd_struct->nr_sects should happen using sequence
counter read/update helper functions part_nr_sects_read/part_nr_sects_write.
There is one exception though, set_capacity()/get_capacity(). I think
theoritically race should exist there too but this patch does not
modify set_capacity()/get_capacity() due to sheer number of call sites
and I am afraid that change might break something. I have left that as a
TODO item. We can handle it later if need be. This patch does not introduce
any new races as such w.r.t set_capacity()/get_capacity().

v2: Add CONFIG_LBDAF test to UP preempt case as suggested by Phillip.

6d1d8050b4 "block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct"

fe316bf2d5 block: Fix NULL pointer dereference in sd_revalidate_disk
Since 2.6.39 (1196f8b), when a driver returns -ENOMEDIUM for open(),
__blkdev_get() calls rescan_partitions() to remove
in-kernel partition structures and raise KOBJ_CHANGE uevent.

However it ends up calling driver's revalidate_disk without open
and could cause oops.

In the case of SCSI:

  process A                  process B
  ----------------------------------------------
  sys_open
    __blkdev_get
      sd_open
        returns -ENOMEDIUM
                             scsi_remove_device
                               <scsi_device torn down>
      rescan_partitions
        sd_revalidate_disk
          <oops>
Oopses are reported here:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-scsi&m=132388619710052

This patch separates the partition invalidation from rescan_partitions()
and use it for -ENOMEDIUM case.

d0985394e7 block: Revert "[SCSI] genhd: add a new attribute "alias" in gendisk"
This reverts commit a72c5e5eb7.

The commit introduced alias for block devices which is intended to be
used during logging although actual usage hasn't been committed yet.
This approach adds very limited benefit (raw log might be easier to
follow) which can be trivially implemented in userland but has a lot
of problems.

It is much worse than netif renames because it doesn't rename the
actual device but just adds conveninence name which isn't used
universally or enforced.  Everything internal including device lookup
and sysfs still uses the internal name and nothing prevents two
devices from using conflicting alias - ie. sda can have sdb as its
alias.

This has been nacked by people working on device driver core, block
layer and kernel-userland interface and shouldn't have been
upstreamed.  Revert it.

a72c5e5eb7 [SCSI] genhd: add a new attribute "alias" in gendisk
This patch allows the user to set an "alias" of the disk via sysfs interface.

This patch only adds a new attribute "alias" in gendisk structure.
To show the alias instead of the device name in kernel messages,
we need to revise printk messages and use alias_name() in them.

Example:
(current) printk("disk name is %s\n", disk->disk_name);
(new)     printk("disk name is %s\n", alias_name(disk));

Users can use alphabets, numbers, '-' and '_' in "alias" attribute. A disk can
have an "alias" which length is up to 255 bytes. This attribute is write-once.

d27769ec3d block: add GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN
There are cases where suppressing partition scan is useful - e.g. for
lo devices and pseudo SATA devices which advertise to be a disk but
get upset on partition scan (some port multiplier control devices show
such behavior).

This patch adds GENHD_FL_NO_PART_SCAN which suppresses partition scan
regardless of the number of possible partitions.  disk_partitionable()
is renamed to disk_part_scan_enabled() as suppressing partition scan
doesn't imply the device can't be partitioned using
BLKPG_ADD/DEL_PARTITION calls from userland.  show_partition() now
directly tests disk_max_parts() to maintain backward-compatibility.

-v2: Updated to make it clear that only partition scan is suppressed
     not partitioning itself as suggested by Kay Sievers.

85ef06d1d2 block: flush MEDIA_CHANGE from drivers on close(2)
Currently, only open(2) is defined as the 'clearing' point.  It has
two roles - first, it's an acknowledgement from userland indicating
that the event has been received and kernel can clear pending states
and proceed to generate more events.  Secondly, it's passed on to
device drivers as a hint indicating that a synchronization point has
been reached and it might want to take a deeper look at the device.

The latter currently is only used by sr which uses two different
mechanisms - GET_EVENT_MEDIA_STATUS_NOTIFICATION and TEST_UNIT_READY
to discover events, where the former is lighter weight and safe to be
used repeatedly but may not provide full coverage.  Among other
things, GET_EVENT can't detect media removal while TUR can.

This patch makes close(2) - blkdev_put() - indicate clearing hint for
MEDIA_CHANGE to drivers.  disk_check_events() is renamed to
disk_flush_events() and updated to take @mask for events to flush
which is or'd to ev->clearing and will be passed to the driver on the
next ->check_events() invocation.

This change makes sr generate MEDIA_CHANGE when media is ejected from
userland - e.g. with eject(1).

Note: Given the current usage, it seems @clearing hint is needlessly
complex.  disk_clear_events() can simply clear all events and the hint
can be boolean @flush.

It was not a good idea to start dereferencing disk->queue from
the fs sysfs strategy for displaying discard alignment. We ran
into first a NULL pointer deref, and after fixing that we sometimes
see unvalid disk->queue pointer values.

Since discard is the only one of the bunch actually looking into
the queue, just revert the change.

Its reason is the wrong way of accounting hd_struct->in_flight. When a bio is
merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE.

The detailed root cause is as follows.

Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2.

1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight
   is 0 and sda2's one is 1.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |          0
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on
   step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed
   from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's
   hd_struct->in_flight are not changed.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |          0
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case,
   sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |         -1
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup
inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment
and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This
also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on
the number of lookups we have to do.

Also add a refcount to struct hd_struct to keep the partition in
memory as long as users exist. We use kref_test_and_get() to ensure
we don't add a reference to a partition which is going away.

77ea887e43 implement in-kernel gendisk events handling
Currently, media presence polling for removeable block devices is done
from userland.  There are several issues with this.

* Polling is done by periodically opening the device.  For SCSI
  devices, the command sequence generated by such action involves a
  few different commands including TEST_UNIT_READY.  This behavior,
  while perfectly legal, is different from Windows which only issues
  single command, GET_EVENT_STATUS_NOTIFICATION.  Unfortunately, some
  ATAPI devices lock up after being periodically queried such command
  sequences.

* There is no reliable and unintrusive way for a userland program to
  tell whether the target device is safe for media presence polling.
  For example, polling for media presence during an on-going burning
  session can make it fail.  The polling program can avoid this by
  opening the device with O_EXCL but then it risks making a valid
  exclusive user of the device fail w/ -EBUSY.

* Userland polling is unnecessarily heavy and in-kernel implementation
  is lighter and better coordinated (workqueue, timer slack).

This patch implements framework for in-kernel disk event handling,
which includes media presence polling.

* bdops->check_events() is added, which supercedes ->media_changed().
  It should check whether there's any pending event and return if so.
  Currently, two events are defined - DISK_EVENT_MEDIA_CHANGE and
  DISK_EVENT_EJECT_REQUEST.  ->check_events() is guaranteed not to be
  called parallelly.

* gendisk->events and ->async_events are added.  These should be
  initialized by block driver before passing the device to add_disk().
  The former contains the mask of all supported events and the latter
  the mask of all events which the device can report without polling.
  /sys/block/*/events[_async] export these to userland.

* Kernel parameter block.events_dfl_poll_msecs controls the system
  polling interval (default is 0 which means disable) and
  /sys/block/*/events_poll_msecs control polling intervals for
  individual devices (default is -1 meaning use system setting).  Note
  that if a device can report all supported events asynchronously and
  its polling interval isn't explicitly set, the device won't be
  polled regardless of the system polling interval.

* If a device is opened exclusively with write access, event checking
  is automatically disabled until all write exclusive accesses are
  released.

* There are event 'clearing' events.  For example, both of currently
  defined events are cleared after the device has been successfully
  opened.  This information is passed to ->check_events() callback
  using @clearing argument as a hint.

* Event checking is always performed from system_nrt_wq and timer
  slack is set to 25% for polling.

* Nothing changes for drivers which implement ->media_changed() but
  not ->check_events().  Going forward, all drivers will be converted
  to ->check_events() and ->media_change() will be dropped.

Its reason is the wrong way of accounting hd_struct->in_flight. When a bio is
merged into a request belongs to different partition by ELEVATOR_FRONT_MERGE.

The detailed root cause is as follows.

Assuming that there are two partition, sda1 and sda2.

1. A request for sda2 is in request_queue. Hence sda1's hd_struct->in_flight
   is 0 and sda2's one is 1.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |          0
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

2. A bio belongs to sda1 is issued and is merged into the request mentioned on
   step1 by ELEVATOR_BACK_MERGE. The first sector of the request is changed
   from sda2 region to sda1 region. However the two partition's
   hd_struct->in_flight are not changed.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |          0
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

3. The request is finished and blk_account_io_done() is called. In this case,
   sda2's hd_struct->in_flight, not a sda1's one, is decremented.

        | hd_struct->in_flight
   ---------------------------
   sda1 |         -1
   sda2 |          1
   ---------------------------

The patch fixes the problem by caching the partition lookup
inside the request structure, hence making sure that the increment
and decrement will always happen on the same partition struct. This
also speeds up IO with accounting enabled, since it cuts down on
the number of lookups we have to do.

When reloading partition tables, quiesce IO to ensure that no
request references to the partition struct exists. When it is safe
to free the partition table, the IO for that device is restarted
again.

6d1d8050b4 block, partition: add partition_meta_info to hd_struct
I'm reposting this patch series as v4 since there have been no additional
comments, and I cleaned up one extra bit of unneeded code (in 3/3). The patches
are against Linus's tree: 2bfc96a127
(2.6.36-rc3).

Would this patchset be suitable for inclusion in an mm branch?

This changes adds a partition_meta_info struct which itself contains a
union of structures that provide partition table specific metadata.

This change leaves the union empty. The subsequent patch includes an
implementation for CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION-based metadata.

316d315bff block: Seperate read and write statistics of in_flight requests v2
Commit a9327cac44 added seperate read
and write statistics of in_flight requests. And exported the number
of read and write requests in progress seperately through sysfs.

But  Corrado Zoccolo <czoccolo@gmail.com> reported getting strange
output from "iostat -kx 2". Global values for service time and
utilization were garbage. For interval values, utilization was always
100%, and service time is higher than normal.

So this was reverted by commit 0f78ab9899

The problem was in part_round_stats_single(), I missed the following:
        if (now == part->stamp)
                return;

-       if (part->in_flight) {
+       if (part_in_flight(part)) {
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, time_in_queue,
                                part_in_flight(part) * (now - part->stamp));
                __part_stat_add(cpu, part, io_ticks, (now - part->stamp));

With this chunk included, the reported regression gets fixed.

c72758f337 block: Export I/O topology for block devices and partitions
To support devices with physical block sizes bigger than 512 bytes we
need to ensure proper alignment.  This patch adds support for exposing
I/O topology characteristics as devices are stacked.

  logical_block_size is the smallest unit the device can address.

  physical_block_size indicates the smallest I/O the device can write
  without incurring a read-modify-write penalty.

  The io_min parameter is the smallest preferred I/O size reported by
  the device.  In many cases this is the same as the physical block
  size.  However, the io_min parameter can be scaled up when stacking
  (RAID5 chunk size > physical block size).

  The io_opt characteristic indicates the optimal I/O size reported by
  the device.  This is usually the stripe width for arrays.

  The alignment_offset parameter indicates the number of bytes the start
  of the device/partition is offset from the device's natural alignment.
  Partition tools and MD/DM utilities can use this to pad their offsets
  so filesystems start on proper boundaries.

a6f23657d3 block: add one-hit cache for disk partition lookup
disk_map_sector_rcu() returns a partition from a sector offset,
which we use for IO statistics on a per-partition basis. The
lookup itself is an O(N) list lookup, where N is the number of
partitions. This actually hurts performance quite a bit, even
on the lower end partitions. On higher numbered partitions,
it can get pretty bad.

Solve this by adding a one-hit cache for partition lookup.
This makes the lookup O(1) for the case where we do most IO to
one partition. Even for mixed partition workloads, amortized cost
is pretty close to O(1) since the natural IO batching makes the
one-hit cache last for lots of IOs.

3e1a7ff8a0 block: allow disk to have extended device number
Now that disk and partition handlings are mostly unified, it's easy to
allow disk to have extended device number.  This patch makes
add_disk() use extended device number if disk->minors is zero.  Both
sd and ide-disk are updated to use this.

* sd_format_disk_name() is implemented which can generically determine
  the drive name.  This removes disk number restriction stemming from
  limited device names.

* If sd index goes over SD_MAX_DISKS (which can be increased now BTW),
  sd simply doesn't initialize minors letting block layer choose
  extended device number.

* If CONFIG_DEBUG_EXT_DEVT is set, both sd and ide-disk always set
  minors to 0 and use extended device numbers.

689d6fac40 block: replace @ext_minors with GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT
With previous changes, it's meaningless to limit the number of
partitions.  Replace @ext_minors with GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT such that
setting the flag allows the disk to have maximum number of allowed
partitions (only limited by the number of entries in parsed_partitions
as determined by MAX_PART constant).

This kills not-too-pretty alloc_disk_ext[_node]() functions and makes
@minors parameter to alloc_disk[_node]() unnecessary.  The parameter
is left alone to avoid disturbing the users.
