block: pass a queue_limits argument to blk_mq_alloc_disk

Pass a queue_limits to blk_mq_alloc_disk and apply it if non-NULL. This
will allow allocating queues with valid queue limits instead of setting
the values one at a time later.

This reverts commit 9fd097b14918875bd6f125ed699d7bbbba5893ee.

Instead of leaving disk->events completely empty, we now export the
supported events again, and tell the block layer not to forward events to
user space by not setting DISK_EVENT_FLAG_UEVENT. This allows the block
layer to distinguish between devices that for which events should be
handled in kernel only, and devices which don't support any meda change
events at all.

Reverting commit 8ccb8cb1892b ("swim3: convert to blk-mq") resolves the
problem.

That commit added a struct blk_mq_tag_set to struct floppy_state and
initialized it with a blk_mq_init_sq_queue() call. Unfortunately, there
is a memset() in swim3_add_device() that subsequently clears the
floppy_state struct. That means fs->tag_set->ops is a NULL pointer, and
it gets dereferenced by blk_mq_free_rqs() which gets called in the
request_irq() error path. Move the memset() to fix this bug.

BTW, the request_irq() failure for the left mediabay floppy (fd1) is not
a regression. I don't know why it happens. The right media bay floppy
(fd0) works fine however.

block/swim: Rename macros to avoid inconsistent inverted logic

The Sony drive status bits use active-low logic. The swim_readbit()
function converts that to 'C' logic for readability. Hence, the
sense of the names of the status bit macros should not be inverted.

Mostly they are correct. However, the TWOMEG_DRIVE, MFM_MODE and
TWOMEG_MEDIA macros have inverted sense (like MkLinux). Fix this
inconsistency and make the following patches less confusing.

The same problem affects swim3.c so fix that too.

No functional change.

The FDHD drive status bits are documented in sonydriv.cpp from MAME
and in swimiii.h from MkLinux.

block: introduce new block status code type

Currently we use nornal Linux errno values in the block layer, and while
we accept any error a few have overloaded magic meanings. This patch
instead introduces a new blk_status_t value that holds block layer specific
status codes and explicitly explains their meaning. Helpers to convert from
and to the previous special meanings are provided for now, but I suspect
we want to get rid of them in the long run - those drivers that have a
errno input (e.g. networking) usually get errnos that don't know about
the special block layer overloads, and similarly returning them to userspace
will usually return somethings that strictly speaking isn't correct
for file system operations, but that's left as an exercise for later.

For now the set of errors is a very limited set that closely corresponds
to the previous overloaded errno values, but there is some low hanging
fruite to improve it.

blk_status_t (ab)uses the sparse __bitwise annotations to allow for sparse
typechecking, so that we can easily catch places passing the wrong values.

powerpc: Move Power Macintosh drivers to generic byteswappers

ppc has special instruction forms to efficiently load and store values
in non-native endianness. These can be accessed via the arch-specific
{ld,st}_le{16,32}() inlines in arch/powerpc/include/asm/swab.h.

However, gcc is perfectly capable of generating the byte-reversing
load/store instructions when using the normal, generic cpu_to_le*() and
le*_to_cpu() functions eaning the arch-specific functions don't have much
point.

Worse the "le" in the names of the arch specific functions is now
misleading, because they always generate byte-reversing forms, but some
ppc machines can now run a little-endian kernel.

To start getting rid of the arch-specific forms, this patch removes them
from all the old Power Macintosh drivers, replacing them with the
generic byteswappers.

block/swim3: Locking fixes

The old PowerMac swim3 driver has some "interesting" locking issues,
using a private lock and failing to lock the queue before completing
requests, which triggered WARN_ONs among others.

This rips out the private lock, makes everything operate under the
block queue lock, and generally makes things simpler.

We used to also share a queue between the two possible instances which
was problematic since we might pick the wrong controller in some cases,
so make the queue and the current request per-instance and use
queuedata to point to our private data which is a lot cleaner.

We still share the queue lock but then, it's nearly impossible to actually
use 2 swim3's simultaneously: one would need to have a Wallstreet
PowerBook, the only machine afaik with two of these on the motherboard,
and populate both hotswap bays with a floppy drive (the machine ships
only with one), so nobody cares...

While at it, add a little fix to clear up stale interrupts when loading
the driver or plugging a floppy drive in a bay.

block: push down BKL into .open and .release

The open and release block_device_operations are currently
called with the BKL held. In order to change that, we must
first make sure that all drivers that currently rely
on this have no regressions.

This blindly pushes the BKL into all .open and .release
operations for all block drivers to prepare for the
next step. The drivers can subsequently replace the BKL
with their own locks or remove it completely when it can
be shown that it is not needed.

The functions blkdev_get and blkdev_put are the only
remaining users of the big kernel lock in the block
layer, besides a few uses in the ioctl code, none
of which need to serialize with blkdev_{get,put}.

Most of these two functions is also under the protection
of bdev->bd_mutex, including the actual calls to
->open and ->release, and the common code does not
access any global data structures that need the BKL.

powerpc/macio: Rework hotplug media bay support

The hotplug mediabay has tendrils deep into drivers/ide code
which makes a libata port reather difficult. In addition it's
ugly and could be done better.

This reworks the interface between the mediabay and the rest
of the world so that:

- Any macio_driver can now have a mediabay_event callback
which will be called when that driver sits on a mediabay and
it's been either plugged or unplugged. The device type is
passed as an argument. We can now move all the IDE cruft
into the IDE driver itself

- A check_media_bay() function can be used to take a peek
at the type of device currently in the bay if any, a cleaner
variant of the previous function with the same name.

- A pair of lock/unlock functions are exposed to allow the
IDE driver to block the hotplug callbacks during the initial
setup and probing of the bay in order to avoid nasty race
conditions.

- The mediabay code no longer needs to spin on the status
register of the IDE interface when it detects an IDE device,
this is done just fine by the IDE code itself

Overall, less code, simpler, and allows for another driver
than our old drivers/ide based one.

block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch

Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
A request is always acquired from the request queue via
elv_next_request(). After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
or process it without dequeueing. Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.

Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
segments only without considering request boundary. However, the
benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
ambiguity is increasing. Segment based drivers are usually for very
old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
and its more modern users.

Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
model. This patch completes the API transition by...

* renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()

* renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()

* adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start

* disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests

* applying new API to all LLDs

Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

[ Impact: block request issue API cleanup, no functional change ]

To keep the size of changesets sane we split the switch by drivers;
to keep the damn thing bisectable we do the following:
1) rename the affected methods, add ones with correct
prototypes, make (few) callers handle both. That's this changeset.
2) for each driver convert to new methods. *ALL* drivers
are converted in this series.
3) kill the old (renamed) methods.

Note that it _is_ a flagday; all in-tree drivers are converted and by the
end of this series no trace of old methods remain. The only reason why
we do that this way is to keep the damn thing bisectable and allow per-driver
debugging if anything goes wrong.

New methods:

IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers

Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
Linux kernel.

The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
(ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).

Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is
maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
handling.

Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character
device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character
device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.

I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the
main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
with minimal configurations.

This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:

struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);

And put the old one back at the end:

set_irq_regs(old_regs);

Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().

In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:

- update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
- profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
+ update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
+ profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);

I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().

Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:

(*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in
the input_dev struct.

(*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does
something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
pointer or not.

(*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
irq_handler_t.

[PATCH] Remove ->rq_status from struct request

After Christophs SCSI change, the only usage left is RQ_ACTIVE
and RQ_INACTIVE. The block layer sets RQ_INACTIVE right before freeing
the request, so any check for RQ_INACTIVE in a driver is a bug and
indicates use-after-free.

So kill/clean the remaining users, straight forward.

[PATCH] powerpc: Remove device_node addrs/n_addr

The pre-parsed addrs/n_addrs fields in struct device_node are finally
gone. Remove the dodgy heuristics that did that parsing at boot and
remove the fields themselves since we now have a good replacement with
the new OF parsing code. This patch also fixes a bunch of drivers to use
the new code instead, so that at least pmac32, pseries, iseries and g5
defconfigs build.

out of any CONFIG_* option for some generally useful stuff that can be used
on non-laptops as well.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

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!
