2fb98e8414 block: implement request_queue->dma_drain_needed
Draining shouldn't be done for commands where overflow may indicate
data integrity issues.  Add dma_drain_needed callback to
request_queue.  Drain buffer is appened iff this function returns
non-zero.

6b00769fe1 block: add request->raw_data_len
With padding and draining moved into it, block layer now may extend
requests as directed by queue parameters, so now a request has two
sizes - the original request size and the extended size which matches
the size of area pointed to by bios and later by sgs.  The latter size
is what lower layers are primarily interested in when allocating,
filling up DMA tables and setting up the controller.

Both padding and draining extend the data area to accomodate
controller characteristics.  As any controller which speaks SCSI can
handle underflows, feeding larger data area is safe.

So, this patch makes the primary data length field, request->data_len,
indicate the size of full data area and add a separate length field,
request->raw_data_len, for the unmodified request size.  The latter is
used to report to higher layer (userland) and where the original
request size should be fed to the controller or device.

3bc217ffe6 block: kill swap_io_context()
It blindly copies everything in the io_context, including the lock.
That doesn't work so well for either lock ordering or lockdep.

There seems zero point in swapping io contexts on a request to request
merge, so the best point of action is to just remove it.

fa0ccd837e block: implement drain buffers
These DMA drain buffer implementations in drivers are pretty horrible
to do in terms of manipulating the scatterlist.  Plus they're being
done at least in drivers/ide and drivers/ata, so we now have code
duplication.

The one use case for this, as I understand it is AHCI controllers doing
PIO mode to mmc devices but translating this to DMA at the controller
level.

So, what about adding a callback to the block layer that permits the
adding of the drain buffer for the problem devices.  The idea is that
you'd do this in slave_configure after you find one of these devices.

The beauty of doing it in the block layer is that it quietly adds the
drain buffer to the end of the sg list, so it automatically gets mapped
(and unmapped) without anything unusual having to be done to the
scatterlist in driver/scsi or drivers/ata and without any alteration to
the transfer length.

e3a04fe34a blk_end_request: add bidi completion interface (take 4)
This patch adds a variant of the interface, blk_end_bidi_request(),
which completes a bidi request.

Bidi request must be completed as a whole, both rq and rq->next_rq
at once.  So the interface has 2 arguments for completion size.

As for ->end_io, only rq->end_io is called (rq->next_rq->end_io is not
called).  So if special completion handling is needed, the handler
must be set to rq->end_io.
And the handler must take care of freeing next_rq too, since
the interface doesn't care of it if rq->end_io is not NULL.

e19a3ab058 blk_end_request: add callback feature (take 4)
This patch adds a variant of the interface, blk_end_request_callback(),
which has driver callback feature.

Drivers may need to do special works between end_that_request_first()
and end_that_request_last().
For such drivers, blk_end_request_callback() allows it to pass
a callback function which is called between end_that_request_first()
and end_that_request_last().

This interface is only for fallback of other blk_end_request interfaces.
Drivers should avoid their tricky behaviors and use other interfaces
as much as possible.

Currently, only one driver, ide-cd, needs this interface.
So this interface should/will be removed, after the driver removes
such tricky behaviors.

o ide-cd (cdrom_newpc_intr())
  In PIO mode, cdrom_newpc_intr() needs to defer end_that_request_last()
  until the device clears DRQ_STAT and raises an interrupt after
  end_that_request_first().
  So end_that_request_first() and end_that_request_last() are called
  separately in cdrom_newpc_intr().

  This means blk_end_request_callback() has to return without
  completing request even if no leftover in the request.
  To satisfy the requirement, callback function has return value
  so that drivers can tell blk_end_request_callback() to return
  without completing request.

336cdb4003 blk_end_request: add new request completion interface (take 4)
This patch adds 2 new interfaces for request completion:
  o blk_end_request()   : called without queue lock
  o __blk_end_request() : called with queue lock held

blk_end_request takes 'error' as an argument instead of 'uptodate',
which current end_that_request_* take.
The meanings of values are below and the value is used when bio is
completed.
    0 : success
  < 0 : error

Some device drivers call some generic functions below between
end_that_request_{first/chunk} and end_that_request_last().
  o add_disk_randomness()
  o blk_queue_end_tag()
  o blkdev_dequeue_request()
These are called in the blk_end_request interfaces as a part of
generic request completion.
So all device drivers become to call above functions.
To decide whether to call blkdev_dequeue_request(), blk_end_request
uses list_empty(&rq->queuelist) (blk_queued_rq() macro is added for it).
So drivers must re-initialize it using list_init() or so before calling
blk_end_request if drivers use it for its specific purpose.
(Currently, there is no driver which completes request without
 re-initializing the queuelist after used it.  So rq->queuelist
 can be used for the purpose above.)

"Normal" drivers can be converted to use blk_end_request()
in a standard way shown below.

 a) end_that_request_{chunk/first}
    spin_lock_irqsave()
    (add_disk_randomness(), blk_queue_end_tag(), blkdev_dequeue_request())
    end_that_request_last()
    spin_unlock_irqrestore()
    => blk_end_request()

 b) spin_lock_irqsave()
    end_that_request_{chunk/first}
    (add_disk_randomness(), blk_queue_end_tag(), blkdev_dequeue_request())
    end_that_request_last()
    spin_unlock_irqrestore()
    => spin_lock_irqsave()
       __blk_end_request()
       spin_unlock_irqsave()

 c) spin_lock_irqsave()
    (add_disk_randomness(), blk_queue_end_tag(), blkdev_dequeue_request())
    end_that_request_last()
    spin_unlock_irqrestore()
    => blk_end_request()   or   spin_lock_irqsave()
                                __blk_end_request()
                                spin_unlock_irqrestore()

11c3e689f1 [SCSI] block: Introduce new blk_queue_update_dma_alignment interface
The purpose of this is to allow stacked alignment settings, with the
ultimate queue alignment being set to the largest alignment requirement
in the stack.

The reason for this is so that the SCSI mid-layer can relax the default
alignment requirements (which are basically causing a lot of superfluous
copying to go on in the SG_IO interface) while allowing transports,
devices or HBAs to add stricter limits if they need them.

6eca9004df [BLOCK] Fix bad sharing of tag busy list on queues with shared tag maps
For the locking to work, only the tag map and tag bit map may be shared
(incidentally, I was just explaining this to Nick yesterday, but I
apparently didn't review the code well enough myself). But we also share
the busy list!  The busy_list must be queue private, or we need a
block_queue_tag covering lock as well.

So we have to move the busy_list to the queue. This'll work fine, and
it'll actually also fix a problem with blk_queue_invalidate_tags() which
will invalidate tags across all shared queues. This is a bit confusing,
the low level driver should call it for each queue seperately since
otherwise you cannot kill tags on just a single queue for eg a hard
drive that stops responding. Since the function has no callers
currently, it's not an issue.

d351af01b9 bsg: bind bsg to request_queue instead of gendisk
This patch binds bsg devices to request_queue instead of gendisk. Any
objects (like transport entities) can define own request_handler and
create own bsg device.

45e79a3acd bsg: add a request_queue argument to scsi_cmd_ioctl()
bsg uses scsi_cmd_ioctl() for some SCSI/sg ioctl
commands. scsi_cmd_ioctl() gets a request queue from a gendisk
arguement. This prevents bsg being bound to SCSI devices that don't
have a gendisk (like OSD). This adds a request_queue argument to
scsi_cmd_ioctl(). The SCSI/sg ioctl commands doesn't use a gendisk so
it's safe for any SCSI devices to use scsi_cmd_ioctl().

8e5cfc45e7 [PATCH] Fixup blk_rq_unmap_user() API
The blk_rq_unmap_user() API is not very nice. It expects the caller to
know that rq->bio has to be reset to the original bio, and it will
silently do nothing if that is not done. Instead make it explicit that
we need to pass in the first bio, by expecting a bio argument.

2b02a17920 [PATCH] remove blk_queue_activity_fn
While working on bidi support at struct request level
I have found that blk_queue_activity_fn is actually never used.
The only user is in ide-probe.c with this code:

	/* enable led activity for disk drives only */
	if (drive->media == ide_disk && hwif->led_act)
		blk_queue_activity_fn(q, hwif->led_act, drive);

And led_act is never initialized anywhere.
(Looking back at older kernels it was used in the PPC arch, but was removed around 2.6.18)
Unless it is all for future use off course.
(this patch is against linux-2.6-block.git as off 2006/12/4)
