Hello, Upon ack, please pull from the following git tree. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git block-unify-sector-and-data_len This is the second take of block-unify-sector-and-data_len patchset. The primary goal of this patchset is to consolidate all the similar bug slightly different current position and data length fields in struct request. For detailed description, please read the description in the last take[L]. Changes from the last take[L] are * Acked-by:'s added * osd resid_len conversion was missing as pointed out by Boaz Harrosh, fixed. * patch to cleanup request length accessor usages after the conversion added. This patchset contains the following eleven patches. 0001-nbd-don-t-clear-rq-sector-and-nr_sectors-unnecessa.patch 0002-ide-tape-don-t-initialize-rq-sector-for-rw-request.patch 0003-block-add-rq-resid_len.patch 0004-block-implement-blk_rq_pos-cur_-sectors-and-conv.patch 0005-block-convert-to-pos-and-nr_sectors-accessors.patch 0006-ide-convert-to-rq-pos-and-nr_sectors-accessors.patch 0007-block-drop-request-hard_-and-nr_sectors.patch 0008-block-cleanup-rq-data_len-usages.patch 0009-ide-cleanup-rq-data_len-usages.patch 0010-block-hide-request-sector-and-data_len.patch 0011-block-blk_rq_-cur_-_-sectors-bytes-usage-cleanup.patch This patchset is on top of linux-2.6-block#for-2.6.31 (f68adec3c7155a8bbf32a90cb4c4d0737df045d9) + linux-2.6-ide#for-next (03682411b1ccd38cbde2e9a6ab43884ff34fbefc) and contains the following changes. arch/um/drivers/ubd_kern.c | 2 block/as-iosched.c | 18 +++-- block/blk-barrier.c | 4 - block/blk-core.c | 100 ++++++++++++------------------- block/blk-map.c | 2 block/blk-merge.c | 46 ++------------ block/blk.h | 1 block/bsg.c | 8 +- block/cfq-iosched.c | 30 ++++----- block/deadline-iosched.c | 2 block/elevator.c | 22 +++--- block/scsi_ioctl.c | 2 drivers/ata/libata-scsi.c | 2 drivers/block/DAC960.c | 6 - drivers/block/amiflop.c | 6 - drivers/block/ataflop.c | 10 +-- drivers/block/cciss.c | 35 ++++------ drivers/block/cpqarray.c | 9 +- drivers/block/floppy.c | 54 ++++++++-------- drivers/block/hd.c | 14 ++-- drivers/block/nbd.c | 19 +---- drivers/block/paride/pcd.c | 4 - drivers/block/paride/pd.c | 8 +- drivers/block/paride/pf.c | 8 +- drivers/block/ps3disk.c | 9 +- drivers/block/sunvdc.c | 2 drivers/block/swim3.c | 34 +++++----- drivers/block/sx8.c | 6 - drivers/block/ub.c | 16 ++-- drivers/block/viodasd.c | 8 +- drivers/block/virtio_blk.c | 2 drivers/block/xd.c | 4 - drivers/block/xen-blkfront.c | 11 +-- drivers/block/xsysace.c | 25 ++++--- drivers/block/z2ram.c | 6 - drivers/cdrom/gdrom.c | 6 - drivers/cdrom/viocd.c | 2 drivers/ide/ide-atapi.c | 13 ---- drivers/ide/ide-cd.c | 44 ++++--------- drivers/ide/ide-disk.c | 8 +- drivers/ide/ide-dma.c | 2 drivers/ide/ide-floppy.c | 10 +-- drivers/ide/ide-io.c | 10 +-- drivers/ide/ide-lib.c | 2 drivers/ide/ide-tape.c | 11 +-- drivers/ide/ide-taskfile.c | 2 drivers/ide/pdc202xx_old.c | 2 drivers/ide/tc86c001.c | 2 drivers/ide/tx4939ide.c | 2 drivers/memstick/core/mspro_block.c | 6 - drivers/message/fusion/mptsas.c | 21 +++--- drivers/message/i2o/i2o_block.c | 28 +++----- drivers/mmc/card/block.c | 10 +-- drivers/mtd/mtd_blkdevs.c | 7 +- drivers/s390/block/dasd.c | 2 drivers/s390/block/dasd_diag.c | 5 - drivers/s390/block/dasd_eckd.c | 6 - drivers/s390/block/dasd_fba.c | 7 +- drivers/s390/char/tape_34xx.c | 2 drivers/s390/char/tape_3590.c | 2 drivers/s390/char/tape_block.c | 2 drivers/sbus/char/jsflash.c | 4 - drivers/scsi/eata.c | 24 +++---- drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_expander.c | 14 +--- drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_host_smp.c | 52 ++++++++-------- drivers/scsi/lpfc/lpfc_scsi.c | 22 +++--- drivers/scsi/mpt2sas/mpt2sas_transport.c | 23 +++---- drivers/scsi/osd/osd_initiator.c | 4 - drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c | 46 ++++++-------- drivers/scsi/scsi_tgt_lib.c | 2 drivers/scsi/sd.c | 24 +++---- drivers/scsi/sd_dif.c | 2 drivers/scsi/sg.c | 2 drivers/scsi/sr.c | 15 ++-- drivers/scsi/st.c | 2 drivers/scsi/u14-34f.c | 22 +++--- fs/exofs/osd.c | 4 - include/linux/bio.h | 6 - include/linux/blkdev.h | 56 ++++++++++------- include/linux/elevator.h | 2 include/scsi/scsi_cmnd.h | 2 kernel/trace/blktrace.c | 16 ++-- 82 files changed, 508 insertions(+), 585 deletions(-) Thanks. -- tejun [L] http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/4/29/173 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
