d71a6d7332 NBD: add partition support
Permit the use of partitions with network block devices (NBD).

A new parameter is introduced to define how many partition we want to be able
to manage per network block device.  This parameter is "max_part".

For instance, to manage 63 partitions / loop device, we will do:

   [on the server side]
# nbd-server 1234 /dev/sdb
   [on the client side]
# modprobe nbd max_part=63
# ls -l /dev/nbd*

# nbd-client localhost 1234 /dev/nbd0
Negotiation: ..size = 80418240KB
bs=1024, sz=80418240

-------NOTE, RFC: partition table is not automatically read.
The driver sets bdev->bd_invalidated to 1 to force the read of the partition
table of the device, but this is done only on an open of the device.
So we have to do a "touch /dev/nbdX" or something like that.
It can't be done from the nbd-client or nbd driver because at this
level we can't ask to read the partition table and to serve the request
at the same time (-> deadlock)

If someone has a better idea, I'm open to any suggestion.

48cf6061b3 NBD: allow nbd to be used locally
This patch allows Network Block Device to be mounted locally (nbd-client to
nbd-server over 127.0.0.1).

It creates a kthread to avoid the deadlock described in NBD tools
documentation.  So, if nbd-client hangs waiting for pages, the kblockd thread
can continue its work and free pages.

I have tested the patch to verify that it avoids the hang that always occurs
when writing to a localhost nbd connection.  I have also tested to verify that
no performance degradation results from the additional thread and queue.

Patch originally from Laurent Vivier.

need to do that.

The purpose of this patch is to remove sizeof(rq->cmd) and &rq->cmd,

the static array to a pointer. sizeof(rq->cmd) will not make sense and
&rq->cmd won't work.

31e103c595 ps3disk: Remove superfluous cast
As ps3disk is a ppc64-only driver, sector_t equals to unsigned long, and the
cast is not needed.

Reuse in another (possibly 32-bit) driver is protected by the safety net called
`compiler warning' (with the cast, it may silently truncate to 32-bit).
If sector_t ever changes, we will get a compiler warning as well (with the
cast, we won't).

30afcb4bd2 return pfn from direct_access, for XIP
Alter the block device ->direct_access() API to work with the new
get_xip_mem() API (that requires both kaddr and pfn are returned).

Some architectures will not do the right thing in their virt_to_page() for use
by XIP (to translate from the kernel virtual address returned by
direct_access(), to a user mappable pfn in XIP's page fault handler.

However, we can't switch it to just return the pfn and not the kaddr, because
we have no good way to get a kva from a pfn, and XIP requires the kva for its
read(2) and write(2) handlers.  So we have to return both.

1d78d70556 xen blkfront: Delay wait for block devices until after the disk is added
When the xen block frontend driver is built as a module the module load
is only synchronous up to the point where the frontend and the backend
become connected rather than when the disk is added.

This means that there can be a race on boot between loading the module and
loading the dm-* modules and doing the scan for LVM physical volumes (all
in the initrd). In the failure case the disk is not present until after the
scan for physical volumes is complete.

3e334239d8 xen: Make xen-blkfront write its protocol ABI to xenstore
Frontends are expected to write their protocol ABI to xenstore.  Since
the protocol ABI defaults to the backend's native ABI, things work
fine without that as long as the frontend's native ABI is identical to
the backend's native ABI.  This is not the case for xen-blkfront
running 32-on-64, because its ABI differs between 32 and 64 bit, and
thus needs this fix.

Original behavior of loop is not modified.

A new parameter is introduced to define how many partition we want to be
able to manage per loop device. This parameter is "max_part".

For instance, to manage 63 partitions / loop device, we will do:
# modprobe loop max_part=63
# ls -l /dev/loop?*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,   0 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,  64 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 128 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 192 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 256 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 320 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 384 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop6
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 448 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop7

And to attach a raw partitionned disk image, the original losetup is used:

# losetup -f etch.img
# ls -l /dev/loop?*
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,   0 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop0
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,   1 2008-03-05 14:57 /dev/loop0p1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,   2 2008-03-05 14:57 /dev/loop0p2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,   5 2008-03-05 14:57 /dev/loop0p5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7,  64 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop1
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 128 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop2
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 192 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop3
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 256 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop4
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 320 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop5
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 384 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop6
brw-rw---- 1 root disk 7, 448 2008-03-05 14:55 /dev/loop7
# mount /dev/loop0p1 /mnt
# ls /mnt
bench  cdrom  home        lib         mnt   root     srv  usr
bin    dev    initrd      lost+found  opt   sbin     sys  var
boot   etc    initrd.img  media       proc  selinux  tmp  vmlinuz
# umount /mnt
# losetup -d /dev/loop0

Of course, the same behavior can be done using kpartx on a loop device,
but modifying loop avoids to stack several layers of block device (loop +
device mapper), this is a very light modification (40% of modifications
are to manage the new parameter).

ef45cb624b ub: remove BUG() after __blk_end_request and fix the condition causing it
When __blk_end_request returns nonzero, it means that the request was
not completely processed and some BIOs are still attached. Since we
have dequeued it by that time, it means leaking requests and hanging
processes, which is why BUG() was in there. In ub this happens if
a packet request ends normally, but with residue (e.g. when scsi_id
issues INQUIRY).

The fix is to make sure that arguments passed to __blk_end_request
are correct: the full request length and not just transferred length.
The transferred length is indicated to applications by adjusting
rq->data_len with old, unchanged code outside of this patch.

A driver that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seems to be
unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future.

But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still present in
the older kernel releases.

The iSeries viodasd drivers does some very strange things with
scatterlists, one of these causing a BUG_ON to trigger when
scatterlist debugging is enabled due to initializing the
scatterlist with memset instead of sg_init_table().

This fixes it by using sg_init_table().  The rest of the stuff
it does to that poor list is still pretty awful but it will work.

I may look into fixing things in a nicer way some other time.

68d95b585f cciss: remove READ_AHEAD define and use block layer defaults
This patch removes the #define READ_AHEAD 1024 from the driver and uses the
block layer defaults, instead. We have found that under certain workloads
the setting can cause a disk connected to the e200 controller to go offline.
If the disk hiccups the link may try to downshift but the controller is
never notified that the link successfully completed the renegotiation.
We've also found that performance using the block layer default of 32 pages
was on par with the 1024 setting. We tried setting it to zero at one time
based on info from our firmware guys but that killed performance. Turns out
we were talking about 2 different read ahead settings.
Please consider this for inclusion.

48f15b93b2 NBD: make nbd default to deadline I/O scheduler
NBD doesn't work well with CFQ (or AS) schedulers, so let's default to
something else.

The two problems I have experienced with nbd and cfq are:

1) nbd hangs with cfq on RHEL 5 (2.6.18) -- this may well have been
   fixed

   There's a similar debian bug that has been filed as well:

   http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=447638

   There have been posts to nbd-general mailing list about problems with
   cfq and nbd also.

2) nbd performs about 10% better (the last time I tested) with deadline
   vs.  cfq (the overhead of cfq doesn't provide much advantage to nbd [not
   being a real disk], and you end up going through the I/O scheduler on
   the nbd server anyway, so it makes sense that deadline is better with
   nbd)
