Subject: [PATCH 1/2 block#for-linus] bio, fs: update READA and SWRITE to match the corresponding BIO_RW_* bits
Date: Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:12:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4C56D259.8000504@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100802104227.79340b49@notabene>

Commit a82afdf (block: use the same failfast bits for bio and request)
moved BIO_RW_* bits around such that they match up with REQ_* bits.
Unfortunately, fs.h hard coded READ, WRITE, READA and SWRITE as 0, 1,
2 and 3, and expected them to match with BIO_RW_* bits.  READ/WRITE
didn't change but BIO_RW_AHEAD was moved to bit 4 instead of bit 1,
breaking READA and SWRITE.

This patch updates READA and SWRITE such that they match the BIO_RW_*
bits again.  A follow up patch will update the definitions to directly
use BIO_RW_* bits so that this kind of breakage won't happen again.

Stable: The offending commit a82afdf was released with v2.6.32, so
this patch should be applied to all kernels since then but it must
_NOT_ be applied to kernels earlier than that.

Aieee... thanks for root causing it Neil.  That was a stupid bug.  I
knew that READ/WRITE were hardcoded but forgot about READA.  :-(
Moving BIO_RW_AHEAD back to bit 1 might be a better solution but I'm
afraid that would cause more confusions downstream.  This patch
updates READA and SWRITE to match BIO_RW_AHEAD and should also appear
in -stable releases.  The next patch will create bio_types.h and
define all constants in terms of BIO_RW_*.

Thanks.
