From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andre Noll Subject: [PATCH 0/5] md: sector_t conversions Date: Thu, 10 Jul 2008 11:15:33 +0200 Message-ID: <1215681338-32365-1-git-send-email-maan@systemlinux.org> Return-path: Sender: linux-raid-owner@vger.kernel.org To: linux-raid@vger.kernel.org List-Id: linux-raid.ids Hi here is the first batch of patches that aim to change the internal representations of sizes of raid devices from 1K blocks to 512 byte sectors. Patches 1-3 change the internal functions update_size(), calc_dev_size() and calc_dev_sboffset() so that they take/return a sector count instead of a block count. Patch 4 changes the semantics of rdev->sb_offset so that its value now represents the number of the start sector instead of the start block. Patch 5 removes some macros that have become unused due to this conversion. These changes are all simple and straight-forward, but it's easy to make mistakes because there's no help from the compiler. So please review carefully. drivers/md/bitmap.c | 10 ++-- drivers/md/md.c | 111 +++++++++++++++++++++------------------------ include/linux/raid/md_k.h | 2 +- include/linux/raid/md_p.h | 3 - 4 files changed, 58 insertions(+), 68 deletions(-) Regards Andre
