2011-09-27doc: fix broken referencesPaul Bolle
There are numerous broken references to Documentation files (in other Documentation files, in comments, etc.). These broken references are caused by typo's in the references, and by renames or removals of the Documentation files. Some broken references are simply odd. Fix these broken references, sometimes by dropping the irrelevant text they were part of. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz>

2011-03-10block: remove per-queue pluggingJens Axboe
Code has been converted over to the new explicit on-stack plugging, and delay users have been converted to use the new API for that. So lets kill off the old plugging along with aops->sync_page(). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jaxboe@fusionio.com>

2010-03-08Documentation: fix block/biodoc.txt dma mapping descriptionFUJITA Tomonori
- It looks incorrect to use blk_rq_map_sg with pci_map_page here about DMA mappings. dma_map_sg? - better to use dma_map_page instead of pci_map_page. http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126596737604808&w=2 Signed-off-by: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>

2009-01-30Mark mandatory elevator functions in the biodoc.txtNikanth Karthikesan
biodoc.txt mentions that elevator functions marked with * are mandatory, but no function is marked with *. Mark the 3 functions which should be implemented by any io scheduler. Signed-off-by: Nikanth Karthikesan <knikanth@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <jens.axboe@oracle.com>
2009-01-29Documentation: move DMA-mapping.txt to Doc/PCI/Randy Dunlap
Move DMA-mapping.txt to Documentation/PCI/. DMA-mapping.txt was supposed to be moved from Documentation/ to Documentation/PCI/. The 00-INDEX files in those two directories were updated, along with a few other text files, but the file itself somehow escaped being moved, so move it and update more text files and source files with its new location.

2007-10-10Introduce rq_for_each_segment replacing rq_for_each_bioNeilBrown
Every usage of rq_for_each_bio wraps a usage of bio_for_each_segment, so these can be combined into rq_for_each_segment. We define "struct req_iterator" to hold the 'bio' and 'index' that are needed for the double iteration. Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Various compile fixes by me...

2007-07-24[BLOCK] Get rid of request_queue_t typedefJens Axboe

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
