      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch · 9934c8c0
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
      A request is always acquired from the request queue via
      elv_next_request().  After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
      or process it without dequeueing.  Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
      to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
      
      Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
      allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
      segments only without considering request boundary.  However, the
      benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
      ambiguity is increasing.  Segment based drivers are usually for very
      old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
      difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
      and its more modern users.
      
      Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
      model.  This patch completes the API transition by...
      
      * renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
      
      * renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
      
      * adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
      
      * disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
      
      * applying new API to all LLDs
      
      Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
      it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

      ide: dequeue in-flight request · 8f6205cd
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      ide generally has single request in flight and tracks it using
      hwif->rq and all state handlers follow the following convention.
      
      * ide_started is returned if the request is in flight.
      
      * ide_stopped is returned if the queue needs to be restarted.  The
        request might or might not have been processed fully or partially.
      
      * hwif->rq is set to NULL, when an issued request completes.
      
      So, dequeueing model can be implemented by dequeueing after fetch,
      requeueing if hwif->rq isn't NULL on ide_stopped return and doing
      about the same thing on completion / port unlock paths.  These changes
      can be made in ide-io proper.
      
      In addition to the above main changes, the following updates are
      necessary.
      
      * ide-cd shouldn't dequeue a request when issuing REQUEST SENSE for it
        as the request is already dequeued.
      
      * ide-atapi uses request queue as stack when issuing REQUEST SENSE to
        put the REQUEST SENSE in front of the failed request.  This now
        needs to be done using requeueing.

      block: add rq->resid_len · c3a4d78c
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      rq->data_len served two purposes - the length of data buffer on issue
      and the residual count on completion.  This duality creates some
      headaches.
      
      First of all, block layer and low level drivers can't really determine
      what rq->data_len contains while a request is executing.  It could be
      the total request length or it coulde be anything else one of the
      lower layers is using to keep track of residual count.  This
      complicates things because blk_rq_bytes() and thus
      [__]blk_end_request_all() relies on rq->data_len for PC commands.
      Drivers which want to report residual count should first cache the
      total request length, update rq->data_len and then complete the
      request with the cached data length.
      
      Secondly, it makes requests default to reporting full residual count,
      ie. reporting that no data transfer occurred.  The residual count is
      an exception not the norm; however, the driver should clear
      rq->data_len to zero to signify the normal cases while leaving it
      alone means no data transfer occurred at all.  This reverse default
      behavior complicates code unnecessarily and renders block PC on some
      drivers (ide-tape/floppy) unuseable.
      
      This patch adds rq->resid_len which is used only for residual count.
      
      While at it, remove now unnecessasry blk_rq_bytes() caching in
      ide_pc_intr() as rq->data_len is not changed anymore.

      ide-tape: use standard data transfer mechanism · e998f30b
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      Impact: use standard way to transfer data
      
      ide-tape uses rq in an interesting way.  For r/w requests, rq->special
      is used to carry a private buffer management structure idetape_bh and
      rq->nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors are initialized to the number of
      idetape blocks which isn't necessary 512 bytes.  Also,
      rq->current_nr_sectors is used to report back the residual count in
      units of idetape blocks.
      
      This peculiarity taxes both block layer and ide.  ide-atapi has
      different paths and hooks to accomodate it and what a rq means becomes
      quite confusing and making changes at the block layer becomes quite
      difficult and error-prone.
      
      This patch makes ide-tape use bio instead.  With the previous patch,
      ide-tape currently is using single contiguos buffer so replacing it
      isn't difficult.  Data buffer is mapped into bio using
      blk_rq_map_kern() in idetape_queue_rw_tail().  idetape_io_buffers()
      and idetape_update_buffers() are dropped and pc->bh is set to null to
      tell ide-atapi to use standard data transfer mechanism and idetape_bh
      byte counts are updated by the issuer on completion using the residual
      count.
      
      This change also nicely removes the FIXME in ide_pc_intr() where
      ide-tape rqs need to be completed using ide_rq_bytes() instead of
      blk_rq_bytes() (although this didn't really matter as the request
      didn't have bio).

      ide-atapi,tape,floppy: allow ->pc_callback() to change rq->data_len · eb6a61bb
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      Impact: allow residual count implementation in ->pc_callback()
      
      rq->data_len has two duties - carrying the number of input bytes on
      issue and carrying residual count back to the issuer on completion.
      ide-atapi completion callback ->pc_callback() is the right place to do
      this but currently ide-atapi depends on rq->data_len carrying the
      original request size after calling ->pc_callback() to complete the pc
      request.
      
      This patch makes ide_pc_intr(), ide_tape_issue_pc() and
      ide_floppy_issue_pc() cache length to complete before calling
      ->pc_callback() so that it can modify rq->data_len as necessary.
      
      Note: As using rq->data_len for two purposes can make cases like this
            incorrect in subtle ways, future changes will introduce separate
            field for residual count.

      ide-cd,atapi: use bio for internal commands · 02e7cf8f
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      Impact: unify request data buffer handling
      
      rq->data is used mostly to pass kernel buffer through request queue
      without using bio.  There are only a couple of places which still do
      this in kernel and converting to bio isn't difficult.
      
      This patch converts ide-cd and atapi to use bio instead of rq->data
      for request sense and internal pc commands.  With previous change to
      unify sense request handling, this is relatively easily achieved by
      adding blk_rq_map_kern() during sense_rq prep and PC issue.
      
      If blk_rq_map_kern() fails for sense, the error is deferred till sense
      issue and aborts the failed command which triggered the sense.  Note
      that this is a slim possibility as sense prep is done on each command
      issue, so for the above condition to actually trigger, all preps since
      the last sense issue till the issue of the request which would require
      a sense should fail.
      
      * do_request functions might sleep now.  This should be okay as ide
        request_fn - do_ide_request() - is invoked only from make_request
        and plug work.  Make sure this is the case by adding might_sleep()
        to do_ide_request().
      
      * Functions which access the read sense data before the sense request
        is complete now should access bio_data(sense_rq->bio) as the sense
        buffer might have been copied during blk_rq_map_kern().
      
      * ide-tape updated to map sg.
      
      * cdrom_do_block_pc() now doesn't have to deal with REQ_TYPE_ATA_PC
        special case.  Simplified.

      requests.  rq->special isn't used for these cases (the only case where
      rq->special is used is for ide-tape rw requests).  Use rq->special
      instead.

      Now that ide-tape uses standard mechanisms to transfer data, special

      followings.

      ide-tape: use standard data transfer mechanism · 21d9c5d2
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      Impact: use standard way to transfer data
      
      ide-tape uses rq in an interesting way.  For r/w requests, rq->special
      is used to carry a private buffer management structure idetape_bh and
      rq->nr_sectors and current_nr_sectors are initialized to the number of
      idetape blocks which isn't necessary 512 bytes.  Also,
      rq->current_nr_sectors is used to report back the residual count in
      units of idetape blocks.
      
      This peculiarity taxes both block layer and ide.  ide-atapi has
      different paths and hooks to accomodate it and what a rq means becomes
      quite confusing and making changes at the block layer becomes quite
      difficult and error-prone.
      
      This patch makes ide-tape use bio instead.  With the previous patch,
      ide-tape currently is using single contiguos buffer so replacing it
      isn't difficult.  Data buffer is mapped into bio using
      blk_rq_map_kern() in idetape_queue_rw_tail().  idetape_io_buffers()
      and idetape_update_buffers() are dropped and pc->bh is set to null to
      tell ide-atapi to use standard data transfer mechanism and idetape_bh
      byte counts are updated by the issuer on completion using the residual
      count.
      
      This change also nicely removes the FIXME in ide_pc_intr() where
      ide-tape rqs need to be completed using ide_rq_bytes() instead of
      blk_rq_bytes() (although this didn't really matter as the request
      didn't have bio).

      ide-atapi,tape,floppy: allow ->pc_callback() to change rq->data_len · b3071d19
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      Impact: allow residual count implementation in ->pc_callback()
      
      rq->data_len has two duties - carrying the number of input bytes on
      issue and carrying residual count back to the issuer on completion.
      ide-atapi completion callback ->pc_callback() is the right place to do
      this but currently ide-atapi depends on rq->data_len carrying the
      original request size after calling ->pc_callback() to complete the pc
      request.
      
      This patch makes ide_pc_intr(), ide_tape_issue_pc() and
      ide_floppy_issue_pc() cache length to complete before calling
      ->pc_callback() so that it can modify rq->data_len as necessary.
      
      Note: As using rq->data_len for two purposes can make cases like this
            incorrect in subtle ways, future changes will introduce separate
            field for residual count.

      ide-cd,atapi: use bio for internal commands · 5c4be572
      Tejun Heo authored
      
      Impact: unify request data buffer handling
      
      rq->data is used mostly to pass kernel buffer through request queue
      without using bio.  There are only a couple of places which still do
      this in kernel and converting to bio isn't difficult.
      
      This patch converts ide-cd and atapi to use bio instead of rq->data
      for request sense and internal pc commands.  With previous change to
      unify sense request handling, this is relatively easily achieved by
      adding blk_rq_map_kern() during sense_rq prep and PC issue.
      
      If blk_rq_map_kern() fails for sense, the error is deferred till sense
      issue and aborts the failed command which triggered the sense.  Note
      that this is a slim possibility as sense prep is done on each command
      issue, so for the above condition to actually trigger, all preps since
      the last sense issue till the issue of the request which would require
      a sense should fail.
      
      * do_request functions might sleep now.  This should be okay as ide
        request_fn - do_ide_request() - is invoked only from make_request
        and plug work.  Make sure this is the case by adding might_sleep()
        to do_ide_request().
      
      * Functions which access the read sense data before the sense request
        is complete now should access bio_data(sense_rq->bio) as the sense
        buffer might have been copied during blk_rq_map_kern().
      
      * ide-tape updated to map sg.
      
      * cdrom_do_block_pc() now doesn't have to deal with REQ_TYPE_ATA_PC
        special case.  Simplified.
      
      * tp_ops->output/input_data path dropped from ide_pc_intr().

      ide-atapi: convert ide-{floppy,tape} to using preallocated sense buffer · 6b544fcc
      Borislav Petkov authored
      
      Since we're issuing REQ_TYPE_SENSE now we need to allow those types of
      rqs in the ->do_request callbacks. As a future improvement, sense_len
      assignment might be unified across all ATAPI devices. Borislav to
      check with specs and test.
      
      As a result, get rid of ide_queue_pc_head() and
      drive->request_sense_rq.
      
      tj: * Init request sense ide_atapi_pc from sense request.  In the
            longer timer, it would probably better to fold
            ide_create_request_sense_cmd() into its only current user -
            ide_floppy_get_format_progress().
      
          * ide_retry_pc() no longer takes @disk.

      Borislav Petkov authored
      
      This is in preparation of removing the queueing of a sense request out
      of the IRQ handler path.
      
      Use struct request_sense as a general sense buffer for all ATAPI
      devices ide-{floppy,tape,cd}.
      
      tj: * blk_get_request(__GFP_WAIT) can't be called from do_request() as
            it can cause deadlock.  Converted to use inline struct request
            and blk_rq_init().
      
          * Added xfer / cdb len selection depending on device type.
      
          * All sense prep logics folded into ide_prep_sense() which never
            fails.
      
          * hwif->rq clearing and sense_rq used handling moved into
            ide_queue_sense_rq().
      
          * blk_rq_map_kern() conversion is moved to later patch.
