Subject: [PATCH] block: fix blk_register_queue() return value
Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2008 21:33:43 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080310123341.GA3351@APFDCB5C> (raw)

blk_register_queue() returns -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL.
But there are some block drivers that call blk_register_queue()
via add_disk() with queue->request_fn == NULL. (For example, brd, loop)

Although no one checks return value of blk_register_queue(), this patch
makes it return 0 instead of -ENXIO when queue->request_fn is NULL,

Also this patch adds warning when blk_register_queue() and
blk_unregister_queue() are called with queue == NULL rather than
ignore invalid usage silently.
