Chandra Seetharaman fe9233fb69 [SCSI] scsi_dh: fix kconfig related build errors
Do not automatically "select" SCSI_DH for dm-multipath. If SCSI_DH
doesn't exist,just do not allow  hardware handlers to be used.

Handle SCSI_DH being a module also. Make sure it doesn't allow DM_MULTIPATH
to be compiled in when SCSI_DH is a module.

[jejb: added comment for Kconfig syntax]

# Block device driver configuration

menuconfig MD
bool "Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM)"
depends on BLOCK
help
Support multiple physical spindles through a single logical device.
Required for RAID and logical volume management.
if MD
config BLK_DEV_MD
tristate "RAID support"
---help---
This driver lets you combine several hard disk partitions into one
logical block device. This can be used to simply append one
partition to another one or to combine several redundant hard disks
into a RAID1/4/5 device so as to provide protection against hard
disk failures. This is called "Software RAID" since the combining of
the partitions is done by the kernel. "Hardware RAID" means that the
combining is done by a dedicated controller; if you have such a
controller, you do not need to say Y here.
More information about Software RAID on Linux is contained in the
Software RAID mini-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. There you will also learn
where to get the supporting user space utilities raidtools.
If unsure, say N.
config MD_LINEAR
tristate "Linear (append) mode"
depends on BLK_DEV_MD
---help---
If you say Y here, then your multiple devices driver will be able to
use the so-called linear mode, i.e. it will combine the hard disk
partitions by simply appending one to the other.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module
will be called linear.
If unsure, say Y.
config MD_RAID0
tristate "RAID-0 (striping) mode"
depends on BLK_DEV_MD
---help---
If you say Y here, then your multiple devices driver will be able to
use the so-called raid0 mode, i.e. it will combine the hard disk
partitions into one logical device in such a fashion as to fill them
up evenly, one chunk here and one chunk there. This will increase
the throughput rate if the partitions reside on distinct disks.

Software-RAID mini-HOWTO, available from

will be called raid0.
If unsure, say Y.
config MD_RAID1
tristate "RAID-1 (mirroring) mode"
depends on BLK_DEV_MD
---help---
A RAID-1 set consists of several disk drives which are exact copies
of each other. In the event of a mirror failure, the RAID driver
will continue to use the operational mirrors in the set, providing
an error free MD (multiple device) to the higher levels of the
kernel. In a set with N drives, the available space is the capacity
of a single drive, and the set protects against a failure of (N - 1)
drives.

If you want to use such a RAID-1 set, say Y. To compile this code
as a module, choose M here: the module will be called raid1.
If unsure, say Y.
config MD_RAID10
tristate "RAID-10 (mirrored striping) mode (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on BLK_DEV_MD && EXPERIMENTAL
---help---
RAID-10 provides a combination of striping (RAID-0) and
mirroring (RAID-1) with easier configuration and more flexible
layout.
Unlike RAID-0, but like RAID-1, RAID-10 requires all devices to
be the same size (or at least, only as much as the smallest device
will be used).
RAID-10 provides a variety of layouts that provide different levels
of redundancy and performance.
RAID-10 requires mdadm-1.7.0 or later, available at:
ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/raid/mdadm/
If unsure, say Y.
config MD_RAID456
tristate "RAID-4/RAID-5/RAID-6 mode"
depends on BLK_DEV_MD
select ASYNC_MEMCPY
select ASYNC_XOR
---help---
A RAID-5 set of N drives with a capacity of C MB per drive provides
the capacity of C * (N - 1) MB, and protects against a failure
of a single drive. For a given sector (row) number, (N - 1) drives
contain data sectors, and one drive contains the parity protection.
For a RAID-4 set, the parity blocks are present on a single drive,
while a RAID-5 set distributes the parity across the drives in one
of the available parity distribution methods.
A RAID-6 set of N drives with a capacity of C MB per drive
provides the capacity of C * (N - 2) MB, and protects
against a failure of any two drives. For a given sector
(row) number, (N - 2) drives contain data sectors, and two
drives contains two independent redundancy syndromes. Like
RAID-5, RAID-6 distributes the syndromes across the drives
in one of the available parity distribution methods.

Software-RAID mini-HOWTO, available from

If you want to use such a RAID-4/RAID-5/RAID-6 set, say Y. To

will be called raid456.
If unsure, say Y.
config MD_RAID5_RESHAPE
bool "Support adding drives to a raid-5 array"
depends on MD_RAID456
default y
---help---
A RAID-5 set can be expanded by adding extra drives. This
requires "restriping" the array which means (almost) every
block must be written to a different place.
This option allows such restriping to be done while the array
is online.
You will need mdadm version 2.4.1 or later to use this
feature safely. During the early stage of reshape there is
a critical section where live data is being over-written. A
crash during this time needs extra care for recovery. The
newer mdadm takes a copy of the data in the critical section
and will restore it, if necessary, after a crash.
The mdadm usage is e.g.
mdadm --grow /dev/md1 --raid-disks=6
to grow '/dev/md1' to having 6 disks.
Note: The array can only be expanded, not contracted.
There should be enough spares already present to make the new
array workable.
If unsure, say Y.
config MD_MULTIPATH
tristate "Multipath I/O support"
depends on BLK_DEV_MD
help
Multipath-IO is the ability of certain devices to address the same
physical disk over multiple 'IO paths'. The code ensures that such
paths can be defined and handled at runtime, and ensures that a
transparent failover to the backup path(s) happens if a IO errors
arrives on the primary path.
If unsure, say N.
config MD_FAULTY
tristate "Faulty test module for MD"
depends on BLK_DEV_MD
help
The "faulty" module allows for a block device that occasionally returns
read or write errors. It is useful for testing.
In unsure, say N.
config BLK_DEV_DM
tristate "Device mapper support"
---help---
Device-mapper is a low level volume manager. It works by allowing
people to specify mappings for ranges of logical sectors. Various
mapping types are available, in addition people may write their own
modules containing custom mappings if they wish.
Higher level volume managers such as LVM2 use this driver.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called dm-mod.
If unsure, say N.
config DM_DEBUG
boolean "Device mapper debugging support"
depends on BLK_DEV_DM
---help---
Enable this for messages that may help debug device-mapper problems.
If unsure, say N.
config DM_CRYPT
tristate "Crypt target support"
depends on BLK_DEV_DM
select CRYPTO
select CRYPTO_CBC
---help---
This device-mapper target allows you to create a device that
transparently encrypts the data on it. You'll need to activate
the ciphers you're going to use in the cryptoapi configuration.
Information on how to use dm-crypt can be found on
<http://www.saout.de/misc/dm-crypt/>
To compile this code as a module, choose M here: the module will
be called dm-crypt.
If unsure, say N.
config DM_SNAPSHOT
tristate "Snapshot target"
depends on BLK_DEV_DM
---help---
Allow volume managers to take writable snapshots of a device.
config DM_MIRROR
tristate "Mirror target"
depends on BLK_DEV_DM
---help---
Allow volume managers to mirror logical volumes, also
needed for live data migration tools such as 'pvmove'.
config DM_ZERO
tristate "Zero target"
depends on BLK_DEV_DM
---help---
A target that discards writes, and returns all zeroes for
reads. Useful in some recovery situations.
config DM_MULTIPATH
tristate "Multipath target"
depends on BLK_DEV_DM
# nasty syntax but means make DM_MULTIPATH independent
# of SCSI_DH if the latter isn't defined but if
# it is, DM_MULTIPATH must depend on it. We get a build
# error if SCSI_DH=m and DM_MULTIPATH=y
depends on SCSI_DH || !SCSI_DH
---help---
Allow volume managers to support multipath hardware.
config DM_DELAY
tristate "I/O delaying target (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on BLK_DEV_DM && EXPERIMENTAL
---help---
A target that delays reads and/or writes and can send
them to different devices. Useful for testing.
If unsure, say N.
config DM_UEVENT
bool "DM uevents (EXPERIMENTAL)"
depends on BLK_DEV_DM && EXPERIMENTAL
---help---
Generate udev events for DM events.
