Ok, this clashed pretty badly with both the tracing tree (which obviously 
has block tracers) and with my pull ide pull from Bartlomiej (which 
obviously has ide driver changes).

I fixed everything up, and it _looks_ ok, including a "allyesconfig" build 
etc. It wasn't totally trivial, though - in the sense that it's entirely 
possible that I fixed something up incorrectly. Also, in the tracer code, 
I kept the checks for whether something is a "pc" of "fs" request, so it 
now looks like

	__entry->sector    = blk_pc_request(rq) ? 0 : blk_rq_pos(rq);

and I suspect that it could just be an unconditional

	__entry->sector    = blk_rq_pos(rq);

instead, but somebody involved with the whole block tracing thing needs to 
check that out. 

The ide-tape.c changes also need some expert tender loving checks. I 
neither know the code, nor have the hardware to check my fixups. Almost 
all the changes are actually by the same person - it's almost all Tejun's 
code (and mostly the same patches), just coming in through two different 
trees. Not very nice.

Btw, Jens: in your tree, you've committed Tejun's changes without adding 
your own sign-off. Not good!

I agree, that part is a mess. Hopefully we wont have this degree of
churn in this area again, but I do wish that we had more block consumers
based off the block tree. Having cross-dependent stuff in different
trees just gets messy quickly. Thanks for resolving it though, the IDE
code wasn't pulled in when I sent the pull request or I would've done it
myself. I usually try to make sure that it merges cleanly with your head
of tree before sending it out.

That's for the patches that I pulled from his git tree. It should list
him as committer too.

NO!

It sounds like you have done a _major_ no-no, which is to pull from his 
tree, and then rebase it. 

DO NOT DO THAT! NOT EVER!

If you pull from somebody elses tree, you can no longer touch the commit. 
It absolutely has to stay the same. Otherwise we see this kind of insane 
duplication. 

You're doing something seriously wrong here. I wrote a long rant about 
what the rules were last release cycle, but now I can't find it. 
Basically, if you're not the committer, you really must never EVER touch 
it.

I pulled from his tree, don't think I ever rebased it. To be honest, I
rebase a lot, and I used to do that for the 'export' branches as well.
But for this cycle I have kept it clean and pulled in your tree when I
knew a conflict at arisen. More trees are now based off the block tree,
so I wanted to make sure that they were able to pull cleanly when they
wanted to. I usually also always apply the patches manually instead of
pulling it in, since I go over the patches anyway.

So I fully agree with what you are saying, if anything was rebased this
time then it was a mistake (that I don't recollect)...

I'm pretty sure you did. That's why 
 (a) you're the committer (because you are)
 (b) the commits aren't the same when I pull, even though the diffs are.

Anyway, it's ok to take an occational patch from another tree, but then it 
needs to be signed off (and no faking of committer data, please) as a 
cherry-pick, not the way you did it.

My google-fu is not great, but I usually save the most interesting rants.

I just looked up the offending commits, and you are right. I must have
rebased early on, after having pull some of the patches from Tejun. My
bad, wont repeat!

Yep, this is the result of the slimming exercise and diet pills we've
put ide-tape on because it'd grown obese over the years and it had its
own contraptions for buffer and pipeline handling which were clearly too
much. It had to be taught to behave just like every other ATAPI device
driver.

But seriously, I'm testing ide-atapi stuff regularly and I'll take a
look at the merge result during the weekend just to make sure everything
went fine.

I think this was a one-time-thing only since it required syncing between
at least three trees so it is possible that somewhere along the way
things clash. It'll probably happen again when someone decides to change
block layer/LLDDs interface again but those are very seldom, I hope, for
the sake of everybody involved :).
