This adds support to the raw driver to report the proper device name to userspace for the raw devices. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers Signed-off-by: Jan Blunck Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size

2009-05-22T21:22:54+00:00

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device. With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain 512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size and the logical ditto. This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size. Signed-off-by: Martin K.

[PATCH] kill the rest of struct file propagation in block ioctls

2008-10-21T11:49:14+00:00

Now we can switch blkdev_ioctl() block_device/mode Signed-off-by: Al Viro

[PATCH] sanitize blkdev_get() and friends

2008-10-21T11:49:06+00:00

* get rid of fake struct file/struct dentry in __blkdev_get() * merge __blkdev_get() and do_open() * get rid of flags argument of blkdev_get() Signed-off-by: Al Viro

[PATCH] pass fmode_t to blkdev_put()

device create: char: convert device_create_drvdata to device_create

2008-10-16T16:24:42+00:00

Now that device_create() has been audited, rename things back to the original call to be sane. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

device create: char: 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

raw: BKL pushdown

2008-06-20T20:05:51+00:00

Put explicit lock_kernel() calls into raw_open(), even though the existing locking looks adequate. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet

cdev: remove unneeded setting of cdev names

2007-10-12T21:51:02+00:00

struct cdev does not need the kobject name to be set, as it is never used. This patch fixes up the few places it is set. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Acked-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
