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.

540eed5637 block: make partition array dynamic
disk->__part used to be statically allocated to the maximum possible
number of partitions.  This patch makes partition array allocation
dynamic.  The added overhead is minimal as only real change is one
memory dereference changed to RCU one.  This saves both a bit of
memory and cpu cycles iterating through unoccupied slots and makes
increasing partition limit easier.

074a7aca7a block: move stats from disk to part0
Move stats related fields - stamp, in_flight, dkstats - from disk to
part0 and unify stat handling such that...

* part_stat_*() now updates part0 together if the specified partition
  is not part0.  ie. part_stat_*() are now essentially all_stat_*().

* {disk|all}_stat_*() are gone.

* part_round_stats() is updated similary.  It handles part0 stats
  automatically and disk_round_stats() is killed.

* part_{inc|dec}_in_fligh() is implemented which automatically updates
  part0 stats for parts other than part0.

* disk_map_sector_rcu() is updated to return part0 if no part matches.
  Combined with the above changes, this makes NULL special case
  handling in callers unnecessary.

* Separate stats show code paths for disk are collapsed into part
  stats show code paths.

* Rename disk_stat_lock/unlock() to part_stat_lock/unlock()

While at it, reposition stat handling macros a bit and add missing
parentheses around macro parameters.

b5d0b9df0b block: introduce partition 0
genhd and partition code handled disk and partitions separately.  All
information about the whole disk was in struct genhd and partitions in
struct hd_struct.  However, the whole disk (part0) and other
partitions have a lot in common and the data structures end up having
good number of common fields and thus separate code paths doing the
same thing.  Also, the partition array was indexed by partno - 1 which
gets pretty confusing at times.

This patch introduces partition 0 and makes the partition array
indexed by partno.  Following patches will unify the handling of disk
and parts piece-by-piece.

This patch also implements disk_partitionable() which tests whether a
disk is partitionable.  With coming dynamic partition array change,
the most common usage of disk_max_parts() will be testing whether a
disk is partitionable and the number of max partitions will become
much less important.

1f0142905d block: adjust formatting for large minors and add ext_range sysfs attr
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.

  device can use including both conventional minor space and the
  extended one.

bcce3de1be block: implement extended dev numbers
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.

c995905916 block: fix diskstats access
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.

e71bf0d0ee block: fix disk->part[] dereferencing race
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.

f331c0296f block: don't depend on consecutive minor space
* Implement disk_devt() and part_devt() and use them to directly
  access devt instead of computing it from ->major and ->first_minor.

  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).

These changes clean up the code and will help disk->part dereference
fix and extended block device numbers.

def4e38ddd block: use class_dev_iterator instead of class_for_each_device()
Recent block_class iteration updates 5c6f35c5..27f3025 converted all
class device iteration to class_for_each_device() and
class_find_device(), which are correct but pain in the ass to use.
This pach converts them to newly introduced class_dev_iterator so that
they can use more natural control structures instead of separate
callbacks and struct to pass parameters to them.

This results in smaller and easier code.

This patch also restores the original behavior of not printing header
in /proc/partitions if there's no partition to print.  This is trivial
but still user-visible behavior.

e105b8bfc7 sysfs: add /sys/dev/{char,block} to lookup sysfs path by major:minor
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.

d5791d13b1 Fix invalid access errors in blk_lookup_devt
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
  for a series of crashes reported by Mariusz Kozlowski in

30f2f0eb4b block: do_mounts - accept root=<non-existant partition>
Some devices, like md, may create partitions only at first access,
so allow root= to be set to a valid non-existant partition of an
existing disk. This applies only to non-initramfs root mounting.

This fixes a regression from 2.6.24 which did allow this to happen and
broke some users machines :(

cf0ca9fe5d mm: bdi: export BDI attributes in sysfs
Provide a place in sysfs (/sys/class/bdi) for the backing_dev_info object.
This allows us to see and set the various BDI specific variables.

In particular this properly exposes the read-ahead window for all relevant
users and /sys/block/<block>/queue/read_ahead_kb should be deprecated.

With patient help from Kay Sievers and Greg KH

[mszeredi@suse.cz]

 - split off NFS and FUSE changes into separate patches
 - document new sysfs attributes under Documentation/ABI
 - do bdi_class_init as a core_initcall, otherwise the "default" BDI
   won't be initialized
 - remove bdi_init_fmt macro, it's not used very much

3514faca19 kobject: remove struct kobj_type from struct kset
We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset.  We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset.  This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.

This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.

This changes the uevent buffer functions to use a struct instead of a
long list of parameters. It does no longer require the caller to do the
proper buffer termination and size accounting, which is currently wrong
in some places. It fixes a known bug where parts of the uevent
environment are overwritten because of wrong index calculations.

Many thanks to Mathieu Desnoyers for finding bugs and improving the
error handling.
