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:
open(bdev, mode)
release(disk, mode)
ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg) /* Called without BKL */
compat_ioctl(bdev, mode, cmd, arg)

This fixes the bug reported by Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@suse.de>:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/10/2/203
The root cause of the bug is that blk_phys_contig_segment
miscalculates q->max_segment_size.
blk_phys_contig_segment checks:
req->biotail->bi_size + next_req->bio->bi_size > q->max_segment_size
But blk_recalc_rq_segments might expect that req->biotail and the
previous bio in the req are supposed be merged into one
segment. blk_recalc_rq_segments might also expect that next_req->bio
and the next bio in the next_req are supposed be merged into one
segment. In such case, we merge two requests that can't be merged
here. Later, blk_rq_map_sg gives more segments than it should.
We need to keep track of segment size in blk_recalc_rq_segments and
use it to see if two requests can be merged. This patch implements it
in the similar way that we used to do for hw merging (virtual
merging).

Multipath is best at handling transport errors. If it gets a device
error then there is not much the multipath layer can do. It will just
access the same device but from a different path.
This patch breaks up failfast into device, transport and driver errors.
The multipath layers (md and dm mutlipath) only ask the lower levels to
fast fail transport errors. The user of failfast, read ahead, will ask
to fast fail on all errors.
Note that blk_noretry_request will return true if any failfast bit
is set. This allows drivers that do not support the multipath failfast
bits to continue to fail on any failfast error like before. Drivers
like scsi that are able to fail fast specific errors can check
for the specific fail fast type. In the next patch I will convert
scsi.

This patch adds an new interface, blk_lld_busy(), to check lld's
busy state from the block layer.
blk_lld_busy() calls down into low-level drivers for the checking
if the drivers set q->lld_busy_fn() using blk_queue_lld_busy().
This resolves a performance problem on request stacking devices below.
Some drivers like scsi mid layer stop dispatching request when
they detect busy state on its low-level device like host/target/device.
It allows other requests to stay in the I/O scheduler's queue
for a chance of merging.
Request stacking drivers like request-based dm should follow
the same logic.
However, there is no generic interface for the stacked device
to check if the underlying device(s) are busy.
If the request stacking driver dispatches and submits requests to
the busy underlying device, the requests will stay in
the underlying device's queue without a chance of merging.
This causes performance problem on burst I/O load.
With this patch, busy state of the underlying device is exported
via q->lld_busy_fn(). So the request stacking driver can check it
and stop dispatching requests if busy.
The underlying device driver must return the busy state appropriately:
1: when the device driver can't process requests immediately.
0: when the device driver can process requests immediately,
including abnormal situations where the device driver needs
to kill all requests.

This patch adds a queue flag to indicate the block device can be
used for request stacking.
Request stacking drivers need to stack their devices on top of
only devices of which q->request_fn is functional.
Since bio stacking drivers (e.g. md, loop) basically initialize
their queue using blk_alloc_queue() and don't set q->request_fn,
the check of (q->request_fn == NULL) looks enough for that purpose.
However, dm will become both types of stacking driver (bio-based and
request-based). And dm will always set q->request_fn even if the dm
device is bio-based of which q->request_fn is not functional actually.
So we need something else to distinguish the type of the device.
Adding a queue flag is a solution for that.
The reason why dm always sets q->request_fn is to keep
the compatibility of dm user-space tools.
Currently, all dm user-space tools are using bio-based dm without
specifying the type of the dm device they use.
To use request-based dm without changing such tools, the kernel
must decide the type of the dm device automatically.
The automatic type decision can't be done at the device creation time
and needs to be deferred until such tools load a mapping table,
since the actual type is decided by dm target type included in
the mapping table.
So a dm device has to be initialized using blk_init_queue()
so that we can load either type of table.
Then, all queue stuffs are set (e.g. q->request_fn) and we have
no element to distinguish that it is bio-based or request-based,
even after a table is loaded and the type of the device is decided.
By the way, some stuffs of the queue (e.g. request_list, elevator)
are needless when the dm device is used as bio-based.
But the memory size is not so large (about 20[KB] per queue on ia64),
so I hope the memory loss can be acceptable for bio-based dm users.

Request-based dm will use it to submit their clones to underlying

blk_rq_check_limits() is also added because it is possible that
the lower queue has stronger limitations than the upper queue
if multiple drivers are stacking at request-level.

This patch adds blk_update_request(), which updates struct request
with completing its data part, but doesn't complete the struct
request itself.
Though it looks like end_that_request_first() of older kernels,
blk_update_request() should be used only by request stacking drivers.
Request-based dm will use it in bio->bi_end_io callback to update
the original request when a data part of a cloned request completes.
Followings are additional background information of why request-based
dm needs this interface.
- Request stacking drivers can't use blk_end_request() directly from
the lower driver's completion context (bio->bi_end_io or rq->end_io),
because some device drivers (e.g. ide) may try to complete
their request with queue lock held, and it may cause deadlock.
See below for detailed description of possible deadlock:
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120311479108569&w=2>
- To solve that, request-based dm offloads the completion of
cloned struct request to softirq context (i.e. using
blk_complete_request() from rq->end_io).
- Though it is possible to use the same solution from bio->bi_end_io,
it will delay the notification of bio completion to the original
submitter. Also, it will cause inefficient partial completion,
because the lower driver can't perform the cloned request anymore
and request-based dm needs to requeue and redispatch it to
the lower driver again later. That's not good.
- So request-based dm needs blk_update_request() to perform the bio
completion in the lower driver's completion context, which is more
efficient.

With extended minors and the soon-to-follow debug feature, large minor
numbers for block devices will be common. This patch does the
followings to make printouts pretty.
* Adapt print formats such that large minors don't break the
formatting.
* For extended MAJ:MIN, %02x%02x for MAJ:MIN used in
printk_all_partitions() doesn't cut it anymore. Update it such that
%03x:%05x is used if either MAJ or MIN doesn't fit in %02x.
* Implement ext_range sysfs attribute which shows total minors the
device can use including both conventional minor space and the
extended one.

Implement extended device numbers. A block driver can tell block
layer that it wants to use extended device numbers. After the usual
minor space is used up, block layer automatically allocates devt's
from EXT_BLOCK_MAJOR.
Currently only one major number is allocated for this but as the
allocation is strictly on-demand, ~1mil minor space under it should
suffice unless the system actually has more than ~1mil partitions and
if that ever happens adding more majors to the extended devt area is
easy.
Due to internal implementation issues, the first partition can't be
allocated on the extended area. In other words, genhd->minors should
at least be 1. This limitation will be lifted by later changes.

There are two variants of stat functions - ones prefixed with double
underbars which don't care about preemption and ones without which
disable preemption before manipulating per-cpu counters. It's unclear
whether the underbarred ones assume that preemtion is disabled on
entry as some callers don't do that.
This patch unifies diskstats access by implementing disk_stat_lock()
and disk_stat_unlock() which take care of both RCU (for partition
access) and preemption (for per-cpu counter access). diskstats access
should always be enclosed between the two functions. As such, there's
no need for the versions which disables preemption. They're removed
and double underbars ones are renamed to drop the underbars. As an
extra argument is added, there's no danger of using the old version
unconverted.
disk_stat_lock() uses get_cpu() and returns the cpu index and all
diskstat functions which access per-cpu counters now has @cpu
argument to help RT.
This change adds RCU or preemption operations at some places but also
collapses several preemption ops into one at others. Overall, the
performance difference should be negligible as all involved ops are
very lightweight per-cpu ones.

disk->part[] is protected by its matching bdev's lock. However,
non-critical accesses like collecting stats and printing out sysfs and
proc information used to be performed without any locking. As
partitions can come and go dynamically, partitions can go away
underneath those non-critical accesses. As some of those accesses are
writes, this theoretically can lead to silent corruption.
This patch fixes the race by using RCU for the partition array and dev
reference counter to hold partitions.
* Rename disk->part[] to disk->__part[] to make sure no one outside
genhd layer proper accesses it directly.
* Use RCU for disk->__part[] dereferencing.
* Implement disk_{get|put}_part() which can be used to get and put
partitions from gendisk respectively.
* Iterators are implemented to help iterate through all partitions
safely.
* Functions which require RCU readlock are marked with _rcu suffix.
* Use disk_put_part() in __blkdev_put() instead of directly putting
the contained kobject.

Note that all references to ->major and ->first_minor outside of
block layer is used to determine devt of the disk (the part0) and as
->major and ->first_minor will continue to represent devt for the
disk, converting these users aren't strictly necessary. However,
convert them for consistency.
* Implement disk_max_parts() to avoid directly deferencing
genhd->minors.
* Update bdget_disk() such that it doesn't assume consecutive minor
space.
* Move devt computation from register_disk() to add_disk() and make it
the only one (all other usages use the initially determined value).

Some block devices benefit from a hint that they can forget the contents
of certain sectors. Add basic support for this to the block core, along
with a 'blkdev_issue_discard()' helper function which issues such
requests.
The caller doesn't get to provide an end_io functio, since
blkdev_issue_discard() will automatically split the request up into
multiple bios if appropriate. Neither does the function wait for
completion -- it's expected that callers won't care about when, or even
_if_, the request completes. It's only a hint to the device anyway. By
definition, the file system doesn't _care_ about these sectors any more.

I have another request for the block filter SG_IO command whitelist,
specifically the MMC streaming command set SET READ AHEAD command.
The command applies only to MMC CDROM/DVDROM drives with the streaming
optional feature set. The command is useful to cdparanoia in that it
allows explicit cache control side effects that are, on many drives,
cdparanoia's most efficient way to flush/disable the media cache on
cdrom drives. I am aware of no reason why it should not be accessible
from usespace.
Also note that the command is already fully accessible through the
SCSI-native version of the SG_IO ioctl as well as the traditional SG
interface. The command is only being refused on block devices. That
means that on a typical stock distro, the command is available through
/dev/sg* but not /dev/scd* although both are typically available and
accessible. Filtering the command is not providing any protection,
only a confusing inconsistency.

cmd_filter works only for the block layer SG_IO with SCSI block
devices. It breaks scsi/sg.c, bsg, and the block layer SG_IO with SCSI
character devices (such as st). We hit a kernel crash with them.
The problem is that cmd_filter code accesses to gendisk (having struct
blk_scsi_cmd_filter) via inode->i_bdev->bd_disk. It works for only
SCSI block device files. With character device files, inode->i_bdev
leads you to struct cdev. inode->i_bdev->bd_disk->blk_scsi_cmd_filter
isn't safe.
SCSI ULDs don't expose gendisk; they keep it private. bsg needs to be
independent on any protocols. We shouldn't change ULDs to expose their
gendisk.
This patch moves struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter from gendisk to
request_queue, a common object, which eveyone can access to.
The user interface doesn't change; users can change the filters via
/sys/block/. gendisk has a pointer to request_queue so the cmd_filter
code accesses to struct blk_scsi_cmd_filter.

It seems cdrwtool in the udftools has been unusable on "modern" kernels
for some time. A Google search reveals many people with the same issue
but no solution (cdrwtool fails to format the disk). After spending some
time tracking down the issue, it comes down to the following:
The udftools still use the older CDROM_SEND_PACKET interface to send
things like FORMAT_UNIT through to the drive. They should really be
updated, but that's another story. Since most distros are using libata
now, the cd or dvd burner appears as a SCSI device, and we wind up in
block/scsi_ioctl.c. Here, the code tries to take the "struct
cdrom_generic_command" and translate it and stuff it into a "struct
sg_io_hdr" structure so it can pass it to the modern sg_io() routine
instead. Unfortunately, there is one error, or rather an omission in the
translation. The timeout that is passed in in the "struct
cdrom_generic_command" is in HZ=100 units, and this is modified and
correctly converted to jiffies by use of clock_t_to_jiffies(). However,
a little further down, this cgc.timeout value in jiffies is simply
copied into the sg_io_hdr timeout, which should be in milliseconds.
Since most modern x86 kernels seems to be getting build with HZ=250, the
timeout that is passed to sg_io and eventually converted to the
timeout_per_command member of the scsi_cmnd structure is now four times
too small. Since cdrwtool tries to set the timeout to one hour for the
FORMAT_UNIT command, and it takes about 20 minutes to format a 4x CDRW,
the SCSI error-handler kicks in after the FORMAT_UNIT completes because
it took longer than the incorrectly-calculated timeout.

Why?:
There are occasions where userspace would like to access sysfs
attributes for a device but it may not know how sysfs has named the
device or the path. For example what is the sysfs path for
/dev/disk/by-id/ata-ST3160827AS_5MT004CK? With this change a call to
stat(2) returns the major:minor then userspace can see that
/sys/dev/block/8:32 links to /sys/block/sdc.
What are the alternatives?:
1/ Add an ioctl to return the path: Doable, but sysfs is meant to reduce
the need to proliferate ioctl interfaces into the kernel, so this
seems counter productive.
2/ Use udev to create these symlinks: Also doable, but it adds a
udev dependency to utilities that might be running in a limited
environment like an initramfs.
3/ Do a full-tree search of sysfs.

Some uses blk_put_request asymmetrically, that is, they uses it with
requests that not allocated by blk_get_request. As a result,
blk_put_request has a hack to catch a NULL request_queue. Now such
callers are fixed (they use blk_get_request properly). So we can
safely remove the hack in blk_put_request.

If you do a modremove of any sas driver, you run into an oops on
shutdown when the host is removed (coming from the host bsg device).
The root cause seems to be that there's a use after free of the
bsg_class_device: In bsg_kref_release_function, this is used (to do a
put_device(bcg->parent) after bcg->release has been called. In sas (and
possibly many other things) bcd->release frees the queue which contains
the bsg_class_device, so we get a put_device on unreferenced memory.
Fix this by taking a copy of the pointer to the parent before releasing
bsg.

AS scheduler alternates between issuing read and write batches. It does
the batch switch only after all requests from the previous batch are
completed.
When switching to a write batch, if there is an on-going read request,
it waits for its completion and indicates its intention of switching by
setting ad->changed_batch and the new direction but does not update the
batch_expire_time for the new write batch which it does in the case of
no previous pending requests.
On completion of the read request, it sees that we were waiting for the
switch and schedules work for kblockd right away and resets the
ad->changed_data flag.
Now when kblockd enters dispatch_request where it is expected to pick
up a write request, it in turn ends the write batch because the
batch_expire_timer was not updated and shows the expire timestamp for
the previous batch.
This results in the write starvation for all the cases where there is
the intention for switching to a write batch, but there is a previous
in-flight read request and the batch gets reverted to a read_batch
right away.
This also holds true in the reverse case (switching from a write batch
to a read batch with an in-flight write request).
I've checked that this bug exists on 2.6.11, 2.6.18, 2.6.24 and
linux-2.6-block git HEAD. I've tested the fix on x86 platforms with
SCSI drives where the driver asks for the next request while a current
request is in-flight.
This patch is based off linux-2.6-block git HEAD.
Bug reproduction:
A simple scenario which reproduces this bug is:
- dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/dev/null &
- lilo
The lilo takes forever to complete.
This can also be reproduced fairly easily with the earlier dd and
another test
program doing msync().
The example test program below should print out a message after every
iteration
but it simply hangs forever. With this bugfix it makes forward progress.

Commit 30f2f0eb4b ("block: do_mounts -
accept root=<non-existant partition>") extended blk_lookup_devt() to be
able to look up partitions that had not yet been registered, but in the
process made the assumption that the '&block_class.devices' list only
contains disk devices and that you can do 'dev_to_disk(dev)' on them.
That isn't actually true. The block_class device list also contains the
partitions we've discovered so far, and you can't just do a
'dev_to_disk()' on those.
So make sure to only work on devices that block/genhd.c has registered
itself, something we can test by checking the 'dev->type' member. This
makes the loop in blk_lookup_devt() match the other such loops in this
file.
[ We may want to do an alternate version that knows to handle _either_
whole-disk devices or partitions, but for now this is the minimal fix

As setting and clearing queue flags now requires that we hold a spinlock
on the queue, and as blk_queue_stack_limits is called without that lock,
get the lock inside blk_queue_stack_limits.
For blk_queue_stack_limits to be able to find the right lock, each md
personality needs to set q->queue_lock to point to the appropriate lock.
Those personalities which didn't previously use a spin_lock, us
q->__queue_lock. So always initialise that lock when allocated.
With this in place, setting/clearing of the QUEUE_FLAG_PLUGGED bit will no
longer cause warnings as it will be clear that the proper lock is held.

Original patch from Mikulas Patocka <mpatocka@redhat.com>
Mike Anderson was doing an OLTP benchmark on a computer with 48 physical
disks mapped to one logical device via device mapper.
He found that there was a slowdown on request_queue->lock in function
generic_unplug_device. The slowdown is caused by the fact that when some
code calls unplug on the device mapper, device mapper calls unplug on all
physical disks. These unplug calls take the lock, find that the queue is
already unplugged, release the lock and exit.
With the below patch, performance of the benchmark was increased by 18%
(the whole OLTP application, not just block layer microbenchmarks).
So I'm submitting this patch for upstream. I think the patch is correct,
because when more threads call simultaneously plug and unplug, it is
unspecified, if the queue is or isn't plugged (so the patch can't make
this worse). And the caller that plugged the queue should unplug it
anyway. (if it doesn't, there's 3ms timeout).

blk_get_request initializes rq->cmd (rq_init does) so the users don't
need to do that.
The purpose of this patch is to remove sizeof(rq->cmd) and &rq->cmd,
as a preparation for large command support, which changes rq->cmd from
the static array to a pointer. sizeof(rq->cmd) will not make sense and
&rq->cmd won't work.

This patch adds bio_copy_kern similar to
bio_copy_user. blk_rq_map_kern uses bio_copy_kern instead of
bio_map_kern if necessary.
bio_copy_kern uses temporary pages and the bi_end_io callback frees
these pages. bio_copy_kern saves the original kernel buffer at
bio->bi_private it doesn't use something like struct bio_map_data to
store the information about the caller.

This requires moving rq_init() from get_request() to blk_alloc_request().
The upside is that we can now require an rq_init() from any path that
wishes to hand the request to the block layer.
rq_init() will be exported for the code that uses struct request
without blk_get_request.
This is a preparation for large command support, which needs to
initialize struct request in a proper way (that is, just doing a
memset() will not work).

This patch adds release callback support, which is called when a bsg
device goes away. bsg_register_queue() takes a pointer to a callback
function. This feature is useful for stuff like sas_host that can't
use the release callback in struct device.
If a caller doesn't need bsg's release callback, it can call
bsg_register_queue() with NULL pointer (e.g. scsi devices can use
release callback in struct device so they don't need bsg's callback).
With this patch, bsg uses kref for refcounts on bsg devices instead of
get/put_device in fops->open/release. bsg calls put_device and the
caller's release callback (if it was registered) in kref_put's
release.

blk_register_queue() returns -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL. But there
are some block drivers that call blk_register_queue() via add_disk() with
queue->request_fn == NULL. (For example, brd, loop)
Although no one checks return value of blk_register_queue(), this patch makes
it return 0 instead of -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL,
Also this patch adds warning when blk_register_queue() and
blk_unregister_queue() are called with queue == NULL rather than ignore
invalid usage silently.

Modify the help descriptions of block/Kconfig for clarity, accuracy and
consistency.
Refactor the BLOCK description a bit. The wording "This permits ... to be
removed" isn't quite right; the block layer is removed when the option is
disabled, whereas most descriptions talk about what happens when the option is
enabled. Reformat the list of what is affected by disabling the block layer.
Add more examples of large block devices to LBD and strive for technical
accuracy; block devices of size _exactly_ 2TB require CONFIG_LBD, not only
"bigger than 2TB". Also try to say (perhaps not very clearly) that the config
option is only needed when you want to have individual block devices of size
>= 2TB, for example if you had 3 x 1TB disks in your computer you'd have a
total storage size of 3TB but you wouldn't need the option unless you want to
aggregate those disks into a RAID or LVM.
Improve terminology and grammar on BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE.
I also added the boilerplate "If unsure, say N" to most options.
Precisely say "2TB and larger" for LSF.
Indent the help text for BLK_DEV_BSG by 2 spaces in accordance with the
standard.

blk_rq_map_user adjusts bi_size of the last bio. It breaks the rule
that req->data_len (the true data length) is equal to sum(bio). It
broke the scsi command completion code.
commit e97a294ef6 was introduced to fix
the above issue. However, the partial completion code doesn't work
with it. The commit is also a layer violation (scsi mid-layer should
not know about the block layer's padding).
This patch moves the padding adjustment to blk_rq_map_sg (suggested by
James). The padding works like the drain buffer. This patch breaks the
rule that req->data_len is equal to sum(sg), however, the drain buffer
already broke it. So this patch just restores the rule that
req->data_len is equal to sub(bio) without breaking anything new.
Now when a low level driver needs padding, blk_rq_map_user and
blk_rq_map_user_iov guarantee there's enough room for padding.
blk_rq_map_sg can safely extend the last entry of a scatter list.
blk_rq_map_sg must extend the last entry of a scatter list only for a
request that got through bio_copy_user_iov. This patches introduces
new REQ_COPY_USER flag.

With this patch, blk_rq_map_user_iov uses bio_copy_user_iov when a low
level driver needs padding or a buffer in sg_iovec isn't aligned. That
is, it uses temporary kernel buffers instead of mapping user pages
directly.
When a LLD needs padding, later blk_rq_map_sg needs to extend the last
entry of a scatter list. bio_copy_user_iov guarantees that there is
enough space for padding by using temporary kernel buffers instead of
user pages.
blk_rq_map_user_iov needs buffers in sg_iovec to be aligned. The
comment in blk_rq_map_user_iov indicates that drivers/scsi/sg.c also
needs buffers in sg_iovec to be aligned. Actually, drivers/scsi/sg.c
works with unaligned buffers in sg_iovec (it always uses temporary
kernel buffers).

bsg_register_queue() takes a ref to struct device that a caller
passes. For example, bsg takes a ref to the sdev_gendev for scsi
devices. However, bsg doesn't inrease the refcount in fops->open. So
while an application opens a bsg device, the scsi device that the bsg
device holds can go away (bsg also takes a ref to a queue, but it
doesn't prevent the device from going away).
With this patch, bsg increases the refcount of struct device in
fops->open and decreases it in fops->release.

hdparm explicitely marks HDIO_[UNREGISTER,SCAN]_HWIF ioctls as DANGEROUS
and given the number of bugs we can assume that there are no real users:
* DMA has no chance of working because DMA resources are released by
ide_unregister() and they are never allocated again.
* Since ide_init_hwif_ports() is used for ->io_ports[] setup the ioctls
don't work for almost all hosts with "non-standard" (== non ISA-like)
layout of IDE taskfile registers (there is a lot of such host drivers).
* ide_port_init_devices() is not called when probing IDE devices so:
- drive->autotune is never set and IDE host/devices are not programmed
for the correct PIO/DMA transfer modes (=> possible data corruption)
- host specific I/O 32-bit and IRQ unmasking settings are not applied
(=> possible data corruption)
- host specific ->port_init_devs method is not called (=> no luck with
ht6560b, qd65xx and opti621 host drivers)
* ->rw_disk method is not preserved (=> no HPT3xxN chipsets support).
* ->serialized flag is not preserved (=> possible data corruption when
using icside, aec62xx (ATP850UF chipset), cmd640, cs5530, hpt366
(HPT3xxN chipsets), rz1000, sc1200, dtc2278 and ht6560b host drivers).
* ->ack_intr method is not preserved (=> needed by ide-cris, buddha,
gayle and macide host drivers).
* ->sata_scr[] and sata_misc[] is cleared by ide_unregister() and it
isn't initialized again (SiI3112 support needs them).
* To issue an ioctl() there need to be at least one IDE device present
in the system.
* ->cable_detect method is not preserved + it is not called when probing
IDE devices so cable detection is broken (however since DMA support is
also broken it doesn't really matter ;-).
* Some objects which may have already been freed in ide_unregister()
are restored by ide_hwif_restore() (i.e. ->hwgroup).
* ide_register_hw() may unregister unrelated IDE ports if free ide_hwifs[]
slot cannot be found.
* When IDE host drivers are modular unregistered port may be re-used by
different host driver that owned it first causing subtle bugs.
Since we now have a proper warm-plug support remove these ioctls,
then remove no longer needed:
- ide_register_hw() and ide_hwif_restore() functions
- 'init_default' and 'restore' arguments of ide_unregister()
- zeroeing of hwif->{dma,extra}_* fields in ide_unregister()
As an added bonus IDE core code size shrinks by ~3kB (x86-32).
v2:
* fix ide_unregister() arguments in cleanup_module() (Andrew Morton).
v3:
* fix ide_unregister() arguments in palm_bk3710.c.

When switching scheduler from cfq, cfq_exit_queue() does not clear
ioc->ioc_data, leaving a dangling pointer that can deceive the following
lookups when the iosched is switched back to cfq. The pattern that can
trigger that is the following:
- elevator switch from cfq to something else;
- module unloading, with elv_unregister() that calls cfq_free_io_context()
on ioc freeing the cic (via the .trim op);
- module gets reloaded and the elevator switches back to cfq;
- reallocation of a cic at the same address as before (with a valid key).
To fix it just assign NULL to ioc_data in __cfq_exit_single_io_context(),
that is called from the regular exit path and from the elevator switching
code. The only path that frees a cic and is not covered is the error handling
one, but cic's freed in this way are never cached in ioc_data.

Looking a bit closer into this regression the reason this can't be
right is that dma_addr common default is BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH and most
machines have less than 4G. So if you do:
if (b_pfn <= (min_t(u64, 0xffffffff, BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH) >> PAGE_SHIFT))
dma = 1
that will translate to:
if (BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH <= BLK_BOUNCE_HIGH)
dma = 1
So for 99% of hardware this will trigger unnecessary GFP_DMA
allocations and isa pooling operations.
Also note how the 32bit code still does b_pfn < blk_max_low_pfn.
I guess this is what you were looking after. I didn't verify but as
far as I can tell, this will stop the regression with isa dma
operations at boot for 99% of blkdev/memory combinations out there and
I guess this fixes the setups with >4G of ram and 32bit pci cards as
well (this also retains symmetry with the 32bit code).
