Hi here is the first batch of patches that aim to change the internal representations of sizes of raid devices from 1K blocks to 512 byte sectors. Patches 1-3 change the internal functions update_size(), calc_dev_size() and calc_dev_sboffset() so that they take/return a sector count instead of a block count. Patch 4 changes the semantics of rdev->sb_offset so that its value now represents the number of the start sector instead of the start block. Patch 5 removes some macros that have become unused due to this conversion. These changes are all simple and straight-forward, but it's easy to make mistakes because there's no help from the compiler. So please review carefully. drivers/md/bitmap.c | 10 ++-- drivers/md/md.c | 111 +++++++++++++++++++++------------------------ include/linux/raid/md_k.h | 2 +- include/linux/raid/md_p.h | 3 - 4 files changed, 58 insertions(+), 68 deletions(-) Regards Andre -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
