Currently md devices, once created, never disappear until the module
is unloaded. This is essentially because the gendisk holds a
reference to the mddev, and the mddev holds a reference to the
gendisk, this a circular reference.
If we drop the reference from mddev to gendisk, then we need to ensure
that the mddev is destroyed when the gendisk is destroyed. However it
is not possible to hook into the gendisk destruction process to enable
this.
So we drop the reference from the gendisk to the mddev and destroy the
gendisk when the mddev gets destroyed. However this has a
complication.
Between the call
__blkdev_get->get_gendisk->kobj_lookup->md_probe
and the call
__blkdev_get->md_open
there is no obvious way to hold a reference on the mddev any more, so
unless something is done, it will disappear and gendisk will be
destroyed prematurely.
Also, once we decide to destroy the mddev, there will be an unlockable
moment before the gendisk is unlinked (blk_unregister_region) during
which a new reference to the gendisk can be created. We need to
ensure that this reference can not be used. i.e. the ->open must
fail.
So:
1/ in md_probe we set a flag in the mddev (hold_active) which
indicates that the array should be treated as active, even
though there are no references, and no appearance of activity.
This is cleared by md_release when the device is closed if it
is no longer needed.
This ensures that the gendisk will survive between md_probe and
md_open.
2/ In md_open we check if the mddev we expect to open matches
the gendisk that we did open.
If there is a mismatch we return -ERESTARTSYS and modify
__blkdev_get to retry from the top in that case.
In the -ERESTARTSYS sys case we make sure to wait until
the old gendisk (that we succeeded in opening) is really gone so
we loop at most once.
Some udev configurations will always open an md device when it first
appears. If we allow an md device that was just created by an open
to disappear on an immediate close, then this can race with such udev
configurations and result in an infinite loop the device being opened
and closed, then re-open due to the 'ADD' even from the first open,
and then close and so on.
So we make sure an md device, once created by an open, remains active
at least until some md 'ioctl' has been made on it. This means that
all normal usage of md devices will allow them to disappear promptly
when not needed, but the worst that an incorrect usage will do it
cause an inactive md device to be left in existence (it can easily be
removed).
As an array can be stopped by writing to a sysfs attribute
echo clear > /sys/block/mdXXX/md/array_state
we need to use scheduled work for deleting the gendisk and other
kobjects. This allows us to wait for any pending gendisk deletion to
complete by simply calling flush_scheduled_work().

md_free is the .release handler for the md kobj_type.
So it makes sense to release all the objects referenced by
the mddev in there, rather than just prior to calling kobject_put
for what we think is the last time.

It is more balanced to just do simple initialisation in mddev_find,
which allocates and links a new md device, and leave all the
more sophisticated allocation to md_probe (which calls mddev_find).
md_probe already allocated the gendisk. It should allocate the
queue too.

The rdev_for_each macro defined in <linux/raid/md_k.h> is identical to
list_for_each_entry_safe, from <linux/list.h>, it should be defined to
use list_for_each_entry_safe, instead of reinventing the wheel.
But some calls to each_entry_safe don't really need a safe version,
just a direct list_for_each_entry is enough, this could save a temp
variable (tmp) in every function that used rdev_for_each.
In this patch, most rdev_for_each loops are replaced by list_for_each_entry,
totally save many tmp vars; and only in the other situations that will call
list_del to delete an entry, the safe version is used.

This patch renames the hash_spacing and preshift members of struct
raid0_private_data to spacing and sector_shift respectively and
changes the semantics as follows:
We always have spacing = 2 * hash_spacing. In case
sizeof(sector_t) > sizeof(u32) we also have sector_shift = preshift + 1
while sector_shift = preshift = 0 otherwise.
Note that the values of nb_zone and zone are unaffected by these changes
because in the sector_div() preceeding the assignement of these two

Reimplement mode programming logic of pata_hpt366 such that it's
identical to that of IDE hpt366 driver. The differences were...
* pata_hpt366 used 0xCFFF8FFFF to mask pio modes and 0x3FFFFFFF dma
modes. IDE hpt366 uses 0xC1F8FFFF for PIO, 0x303800FF for MWDMA and
0x30070000 for UDMA.
* pata_hpt366 doesn't set 0x08000000 for PIO unless it's already set
and always turns it on for MWDMA/UDMA. IDE hpt366 doesn't bother
with the bit. It always uses what was there.
* IDE hpt366 always clears 0xC0000000. pata_hpt366 doesn't.

patch makes ata_piix save IOCFG on attach, use the saved value for

driver also gets the BIOS initialized value.
This patch contains the following changes.
* makes ich_pata_cable_detect() use saved_iocfg.
* make piix_iocfg_bit18_quirk() take @host and use saved_iocfg.
* hpriv allocation moved upwards to save iocfg before doing anything

Clean up the sysfs interface to regulators by only exposing the
attributes that can be properly displayed. For example: when a
particular regulator method is needed to display the value, only
create that attribute when that method exists.
This cleaned-up interface is much more comprehensible. Most
regulators only support a subset of the possible methods, so
often more than half the attributes would be meaningless. Many
"not defined" values are no longer necessary. (But handling
of out-of-range values still looks a bit iffy.)
Documentation is updated to reflect that few of the attributes
are *always* present, and to briefly explain why a regulator may
not have a given attribute.
This adds object code, about a dozen bytes more than was removed
by the preceding patch, but saves a bunch of per-regulator data
associated with the now-removed attributes. So there's a net
reduction in memory footprint.

Minor bugfixes in handling of regulator modes:
- have the routine verifying regulator modes check against

- have regulator_set_optimum_mode() verify the return value
of regulator_ops.get_optimum_mode(), like drms_uA_update();
- one call to regulator_ops.set_mode() treated zero as a
failure code; make this consistent with other callers.
Both regulator_set_mode() and regulator_set_optimum_mode() now
require valid_ops_mask to include REGULATOR_CHANGE_MODE; that

pairs like the <linux/clk.h> and <linux/interrupt.h> frameworks do:
they're refcounted, so that different parts of a driver don't need

It's a minor object code shrink.
It also makes the regulator_is_disabled() kerneldoc say what it's
actually returning: return value is not a refcount, and may report
an error (e.g. I/O error from I2C).
It also fixes some minor regulator_put() goofage: removing unlocked

This patch is part of a larger patch series which will remove
the "char bus_id[20]" name string from struct device. The device
name is managed in the kobject anyway, and without any size
limitation, and just needlessly copied into "struct device".
To set and read the device name dev_name(dev) and dev_set_name(dev)
must be used. If your code uses static kobjects, which it shouldn't
do, "const char *init_name" can be used to statically provide the
name the registered device should have. At registration time, the
init_name field is cleared, to enforce the use of dev_name(dev) to
access the device name at a later time.
We need to get rid of all occurrences of bus_id in the entire tree
to be able to enable the new interface. Please apply this patch,
and possibly convert any remaining remaining occurrences of bus_id.
We want to submit a patch to -next, which will remove bus_id from
"struct device", to find the remaining pieces to convert, and finally
switch over to the new api, which will remove the 20 bytes array
and does no longer have a size limitation.
Thanks,
