libata: Add a per-host flag to opt-in into parallel port probes

2009-01-10T23:06:52Z

This patch adds a per host flag that allows drivers to opt in into having its busses scanned in parallel. Drivers that do not set this flag get their ports scanned in the "original" sequence. Signed-off-by: Arjan van de Ven Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

rbtree: add const qualifier to some functions

2009-01-10T14:04:33Z

The 'rb_first()', 'rb_last()', 'rb_next()' and 'rb_prev()' calls take a pointer to an RB node or RB root. They do not change the pointed objects, so add a 'const' qualifier in order to make life of the users of these functions easier. Indeed, if I have my own constant pointer &const struct my_type *p, and I call 'rb_next(&p->rb)', I get a GCC warning: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘rb_next’ discards qualifiers from pointer target type Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

filesystem freeze: implement generic freeze feature

2009-01-10T00:54:42Z

The ioctls for the generic freeze feature are below. o Freeze the filesystem int ioctl(int fd, int FIFREEZE, arg) fd: The file descriptor of the mountpoint FIFREEZE: request code for the freeze arg: Ignored Return value: 0 if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, -1 o Unfreeze the filesystem int ioctl(int fd, int FITHAW, arg) fd: The file descriptor of the mountpoint FITHAW: request code for unfreeze arg: Ignored Return value: 0 if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, -1 Error number: If the filesystem has already been unfrozen, errno is set to EINVAL.

filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfs

2009-01-10T00:54:42Z

Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and replication) while it is mounted. In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature and it would be used to get the consistent backup. If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it without a commercial filesystem. So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature. I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps. 1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl. 2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot with the storage device's feature. 3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl. 4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume or the snapshot. This patch: VFS: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they can return an error. Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion. ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed, and unlockfs always returns 0. reiserfs: Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void" to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.
