From a885c8c4316e1c1d2d2c8755da3f3d14f852528d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Hellwig Date: Sun, 8 Jan 2006 01:02:50 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Add block_device_operations.getgeo block device method HDIO_GETGEO is implemented in most block drivers, and all of them have to duplicate the code to copy the structure to userspace, as well as getting the start sector. This patch moves that to common code [1] and adds a ->getgeo method to fill out the raw kernel hd_geometry structure. For many drivers this means ->ioctl can go away now. [1] the s390 block drivers are odd in this respect. xpram sets ->start to 4 always which seems more than odd, and the dasd driver shifts the start offset around, probably because of it's non-standard sector size.
