2007-11-19virtio: fix module/device unloadingRusty Russell
The virtio code never hooked through the ->remove callback. Although noone supports device removal at the moment, this code is already needed for module unloading. This of course also revealed bugs in virtio_blk, virtio_net and lguest unloading paths. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-24SG: audit of drivers that use blk_rq_map_sg()Jens Axboe
They need to properly init the sg table, or blk_rq_map_sg() will complain if CONFIG_DEBUG_SG is set. Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2007-10-23Block driver using virtio.Rusty Russell
The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector and inbuf id. The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last sg is the status byte. Whether the N entries are in or out depends on whether it's a read or a write. We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported. It's not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir(). Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd, CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace. This needs a separate patch.
