such that we don't actually hold a simplelock while we are doing
a pool_get(), but that we still effectively protecting critical code.
This should fix all of the outstanding LOCKDEBUG warnings related to
rebuilding RAID sets.
- remove callbackArg2 from RF_CallbackDesc_s -- it is only ever set,
never read.
- now that this is done, all callbacks should only take a single argument,
and we can simplify things further.
- change function signature of rf_LookupRUStatus(). The last argument
is now a pointer to a new PSS, in case one is needed. Rather than
having rf_LookupRUStatus() allocate a new PSS, we pre-allocate one
beforehand, where necessary, just in case.
- change callers of rf_lookupRUStatus() to deal with the new way of
calling rf_lookupRUStatus().
[no improvement or worsening of parity rebuild/initialization performance.]
was just an accident in the first place. Cleanup function decls and
a few comments. [ok.. so I wasn't going to fix this many.. but once
you're on a roll....]
of strenuous agreement, and some general agreement, this commit is
going ahead because it's now starting to block some other changes I
wish to make.]
Remove most of the support for the concept of "rows" from RAIDframe.
While the "row" interface has been exported to the world, RAIDframe
internals have really only supported a single row, even though they
have feigned support of multiple rows.
Nothing changes in configuration land -- config files still need to
specify a single row, etc. All auto-config structures remain fully
forward/backwards compatible.
The only visible difference to the average user should be a
reduction in the size of a GENERIC kernel (i386) by 4.5K. For those
of us trolling through RAIDframe kernel code, a lot of the driver
configuration code has become a LOT easier to read.
out-dated comments, and other unneeded stuff. This helps prepare
for cleaning up the rest of the code, and adding new functionality.
No functional changes to the kernel code in this commit.
Carnegie Mellon University. Full RAID implementation, including
levels 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, parity logging, and a few other goodies.
