2007-10-20dm io:ctl use constant struct sizeMilan Broz
Make size of dm_ioctl struct always 312 bytes on all supported architectures. This change retains compatibility with already-compiled code because it uses an embedded offset to locate the payload that follows the structure. On 64-bit architectures there is no change at all; on 32-bit we are increasing the size of dm-ioctl from 308 to 312 bytes. Currently with 32-bit userspace / 64-bit kernel on x86_64 some ioctls (including rename, message) are incorrectly rejected by the comparison against 'param + 1'. This breaks userspace lvrename and multipath 'fail_if_no_path' changes, for example. (BTW Device-mapper uses its own versioning and ignores the ioctl size bits. Only the generic ioctl compat code on mixed arches checks them, and that will continue to accept both sizes for now, but we intend to list 308 as deprecated and eventually remove it.)

2006-12-08[PATCH] dm: ioctl: add noflush suspendKiyoshi Ueda
Provide a dm ioctl option to request noflush suspending. (See next patch for what this is for.) As the interface is extended, the version number is incremented. Other than accepting the new option through the interface, There is no change to existing behaviour. Test results: Confirmed the option is given from user-space correctly.

2006-10-03[PATCH] dm table: add target flushBryn Reeves
This patch adds support for a per-target dm_flush_fn method. This is needed to allow dm-loop to invalidate page cache mappings in response to BLKFLSBUF ioctl commands.

2006-10-03[PATCH] dm table: add target preresumeMilan Broz
This patch adds a target preresume hook. It is called before the targets are resumed and if it returns an error the resume gets cancelled. The crypt target will use this to indicate that it is unable to process I/O because no encryption key has been supplied.

2006-10-03[PATCH] dm: support ioctls on mapped devicesMilan Broz
Extend the core device-mapper infrastructure to accept arbitrary ioctls on a mapped device provided that it has exactly one target and it is capable of supporting ioctls. [We can't use unlocked_ioctl because we need 'inode': 'file' might be NULL. Is it worth changing this?] Signed-off-by: Milan Broz <mbroz@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alasdair G Kergon <agk@redhat.com> Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> wrote: > Am Wednesday 21 June 2006 21:31 schrieb Alasdair G Kergon: > > static struct block_device_operations dm_blk_dops = { > > .open = dm_blk_open, > > .release = dm_blk_close, > > +.ioctl = dm_blk_ioctl, > > .getgeo = dm_blk_getgeo, > > .owner = THIS_MODULE > > I guess this also needs a ->compat_ioctl method, otherwise it won't > work for ioctl numbers that have a compat_ioctl implementation in the > low-level device driver.

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.

2006-03-27[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.

2006-01-06[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.

2005-04-16Linux-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!
