2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: improve error message consistencyAlasdair G Kergon
Tidy device-mapper error messages to include context information automatically. Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: prevent removal if openAlasdair G Kergon
If you misuse the device-mapper interface (or there's a bug in your userspace tools) it's possible to end up with 'unlinked' mapped devices that cannot be removed until you reboot (along with uninterruptible processes). This patch prevents you from removing a device that is still open. It introduces dm_lock_for_deletion() which is called when a device is about to be removed to ensure that nothing has it open and nothing further can open it. It uses a private open_count for this which also lets us remove one of the problematic bdget_disk() calls elsewhere.

2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: consolidate creation functionsAlasdair G Kergon
Merge dm_create() and dm_create_with_minor() by introducing the special value DM_ANY_MINOR to request the allocation of the next available minor number. Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-06-26[PATCH] dm: fix mapped device ref countingJeff Mahoney
To avoid races, _minor_lock must be held while changing mapped device reference counts. There are a few paths where a mapped_device pointer is returned before a reference is taken. This patch fixes them. [akpm: too late for 2.6.17 - suitable for 2.6.17.x after it has settled] Signed-off-by: Jeff Mahoney <jeffm@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-03-27[PATCH] dm store geometryDarrick J. Wong
Allow drive geometry to be stored with a new DM_DEV_SET_GEOMETRY ioctl. Device-mapper will now respond to HDIO_GETGEO. If the geometry information is not available, zero will be returned for all of the parameters. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

2006-03-27[PATCH] dm table: store mdMike Anderson
Store an up-pointer to the owning struct mapped_device in every table when it is created. Access it with: struct mapped_device *dm_table_get_md(struct dm_table *t) Tables linked to md must be destroyed before the md itself.

2006-03-27[PATCH] dm: tidy mdptrAlasdair G Kergon

2006-02-01[PATCH] device-mapper ioctl: reduce PF_MEMALLOC usageAlasdair G Kergon
Reduce substantially the amount of code using PF_MEMALLOC, as envisaged in the original FIXME. If you're using lvm2, for this patch to work correctly you should update to lvm2 version 2.02.01 or later and device-mapper version 1.02.02 or later.

2006-01-06[PATCH] device-mapper ioctl: add skip lock_fs flagAlasdair G Kergon
Add ioctl DM_SKIP_LOCKFS_FLAG for userspace to request that lock_fs is bypassed when suspending a device. There's no change to the behaviour of existing code that doesn't know about the new flag.

2005-11-22[PATCH] device-mapper: list_versions fixAlasdair G Kergon
In some circumstances the LIST_VERSIONS output is truncated because the size calculation forgets about a 'uint32_t' in each structure - but the inclusion of the whole of ALIGN_MASK frequently compensates for the omission. This is a quick workaround to use an upper bound. (The code ought to be fixed to supply the actual size.) Running 'dmsetup targets' may demonstrate the problem: when I run it, the last line comes out as 'erro' instead of 'error'. Consequently, 'lvcreate --type error' doesn't work.

2005-11-22[PATCH] device-mapper dm-ioctl: missing put in table load error caseKiyoshi Ueda

2005-09-28[PATCH] device-mapper: Trigger an event when a table is deletedgoggin, edward
If anything is waiting on a device's table when the device is removed, we must first wake it up so it will release its reference. Otherwise the table's reference count will not drop to zero and the table will not get removed.

2005-06-23[PATCH] create a kstrdup library functionPaulo Marques
This patch creates a new kstrdup library function and changes the "local" implementations in several places to use this function. Most of the changes come from the sound and net subsystems. The sound part had already been acknowledged by Takashi Iwai and the net part by David S. Miller. I left UML alone for now because I would need more time to read the code carefully before making changes there.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
