aoe: ignore vendor extension AoE responses

2009-03-17T00:52:43+00:00

commit b6d6c5175809934e04a606d9193ef04924a7a7d9 upstream. The Welland ME-747K-SI AoE target generates unsolicited AoE responses that are marked as vendor extensions. Instead of ignoring these packets, the aoe driver was generating kernel messages for each unrecognized response received. This patch corrects the behavior.

Remove newline from the description of module parameters

2008-08-01T19:46:41+00:00

Some module parameters with only one line have the '\n' at the end of the description. This is not needed nor wanted as after the description the type (i.e. int) is followed by a newline. Some modules contain a multi-line description, these are not affected by this patch. Signed-off-by: Niels de Vos Acked-by: Randy Dunlap Cc: John W. Linville Cc: Ed L.

device create: block: convert device_create to device_create_drvdata

2008-07-22T04:54:41+00:00

device_create() is race-prone, so use the race-free device_create_drvdata() instead as device_create() is going away. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

block: avoid duplicate calls to get_part() in disk stat code

2008-05-07T08:15:46+00:00

get_part() is fairly expensive, as it O(N) loops over partitions to find the right one. In lots of normal IO paths we end up looking up the partition twice, to make matters even worse. Change the stat add code to accept a passed in partition instead. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe
