Subject: [PATCH 5/5] ide-tape: remove the last remains of pipelining
Date: Sat, 29 Mar 2008 18:46:09 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1206812769-10065-6-git-send-email-petkovbb@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1206812769-10065-1-git-send-email-petkovbb@gmail.com>
This patch converts the tape->merge_stage pipeline stage into tape->bh, a singly
linked list of idetape_bh's, each of which is a tag attached to one or more pages
serving as a data buffer for chrdev requests. In particular,
1. makes tape->bh the data buffer of size tape->buffer_size which is computed
from the Continuous Transfer Limit value in the caps page and the tape block
size. The chrdev rw routines use this buffer as an intermediary location to
shuffle data to and from.
2. mv tape->merge_stage_size => tape->cur_buf_size as it contains the offset
within tape->bh
3. get rid of pipeline stage idetape_stage_t, tape->merge_stage
and pipeline-related functions __idetape_discard_read_pipeline(),
idetape_discard_read_pipeline(), idetape_empty_write_pipeline()
4. code chunk "if (tape->merge_stage_size) {...}" in idetape_chrdev_read() is not
needed since tape->merge_stage_size, tape->cur_buf_size resp., is zeroed out in
idetape_init_read() couple of lines above.
