Hello, all. This is the third take of block-extended-devt patchset and contains the following 10 patches. 0001-block-misc-updates.patch 0002-block-make-variable-and-argument-names-more-consist.patch 0003-block-don-t-depend-on-consecutive-minor-space.patch 0004-block-fix-disk-part-dereferencing-race.patch 0005-block-fix-diskstats-access.patch 0006-block-implement-extended-dev-numbers.patch 0007-block-adjust-formatting-for-large-minors-and-add-ex.patch 0008-sd-ide-disk-apply-extended-minors-to-sd-and-ide.patch 0009-block-implement-CONFIG_DEBUG_BLOCK_EXT_DEVT.patch 0001-0002 are trivial preparation patches. 0003 implements accessors and applies them to insulate consecutive device number assumption and help fixing partition dereferencing problem. 0004-0005 fixes partition dereferencing bug and simplifies stats handling. 0006-0009 implement and apply extended devt. Changes from the last take[L] are... * Adapted to blk-for-2.6.28. * 0005 and 0006 of the last take are collapsed into 0005. * Reverse iteration bug fixed. * blk_alloc_devt() fixed to honor first_minor when allocating from consecutive minor range.
