[PATCH 4/2] ide-{floppy,tape}: remove request stack

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



* Add 'struct request request_sense_rq' to struct ide_{floppy,tape}_obj
  and switch ide*_retry_pc() to use it (there can be only one REQUEST SENSE
  request active for a given device).

* Remove no longer needed ide*_next_rq_storage(), rq_stack[]
  and rq_stack_index.

* DBG_PCRQ_STACK -> DBG_PC_STACK

* Update comments for IDE*_PC_STACK and idetape_queue_pc_{head,tail}().

There should be no functional changes caused by this patch.

pc stack can also be removed with a bit of care, we just need sth like:

- add request_sense_pc (request_sense_rq alike)

- dynamically allocate pc-s for blk_{fs,pc}_request() in ide-floppy.c
  and for REQ_IDETAPE_{READ,WRITE} in ide-tape.c

- add PC_FLAG_DYN for dynamically allocated pc-s

- (the difficult part) figure out where to put freeing of dynamic pc-s

Borislav, AFAIR you had some patches doing dynamic pc/rq-s?
Maybe it would be possible to dust off just their rq-parts?
