Subject: [PATCH] BLOCK: Make it possible to disable the block layer


Make it possible to disable the block layer.  Not all embedded devices require
it, some can make do with just JFFS2, NFS, ramfs, etc - none of which require
the block layer to be present.

This patch does the following:

 (*) Introduces CONFIG_BLOCK to disable the block layer, buffering and blockdev
     support.

 (*) Adds dependencies on CONFIG_BLOCK to any configuration item that controls
     an item that uses the block layer.  This includes:

     (*) Block I/O tracing.

     (*) Disk partition code.

     (*) All filesystems that are block based, eg: Ext3, ReiserFS, ISOFS.

     (*) The SCSI layer.  As far as I can tell, even SCSI chardevs use the
     	 block layer to do scheduling.

     (*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE, the old CDROM
     	 drivers and USB storage.

     (*) MTD blockdev handling and FTL.

     (*) JFFS - which uses set_bdev_super(), something it could avoid doing by
     	 taking a leaf out of JFFS2's book.

 (*) Made most of the contents of linux/blkdev.h, linux/buffer_head.h and
     linux/elevator.h contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK being set.  sector_div() is,
     however, still used in places.

 (*) The contents of linux/blktrace_api.h are contingent now on CONFIG_BLOCK in
     addition to CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IO_TRACE, possibly unnecessarily.

 (*) Also contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and parts
     of linux/fs.h.

 (*) The contents of a number of filesystem- and blockdev-specific header files
     are now contingent on their own configuration options.  This includes:
     Ext3/JBD, RAID, MSDOS and ReiserFS.

 (*) Made a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Moved some stuff out of fs/buffer.c:

     (*) The file sync and general sync stuff moved to fs/sync.c.

     (*) The superblock sync stuff moved to fs/super.c.

     (*) do_invalidatepage() moved to mm/truncate.c.

     (*) try_to_release_page() moved to mm/filemap.c.

 (*) Moved some stuff between header files:

     (*) declarations for do_invalidatepage() and try_to_release_page() moved
     	 to linux/mm.h.

     (*) __set_page_dirty_buffers() moved to linux/buffer_head.h.

 (*) The duplicate declaration of exit_io_context() has been removed from
     linux/sched.h.

 (*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
     is not enabled.

 (*) fallback_migrate_page() uses PagePrivate() instead of page_has_buffers().

 (*) The bounce buffer stuff moved from mm/highmem.c to mm/bounce.c, which is
     contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

     !!!NOTE!!! There may be a bug in this code: Should init_emergency_pool()
     		be contingent on CONFIG_HIGHMEM?

 (*) The AFS filesystem specifies block_sync_page() as its sync_page address
     op, which needs to be checked, and so is commented out.

 (*) The bdev_cache_init() extern declaration was moved from fs/dcache.c to
     linux/blkdev.h.

 (*) The blockdev_superblock extern declaration was moved from
     fs/fs-writeback.c to linux/blkdev.h.

 (*) fs/fs-writeback.c no longer depends on blockdev_superblock to be present.

 (*) fs/no-block.c was incorporated to hold a couple of things for when
     CONFIG_BLOCK was not set:

     (*) A version generic_writepages(), which is used by NFS.  This is derived
     	 from mpage_writepages() with all the BIO references removed.

     (*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).

 (*) Some /proc changes:

     (*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.

     (*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) Some compat ioctl handling is now contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.

 (*) In init/do_mounts.c, no reference is made to the blockdev routines if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined.  This does not prohibit NFS roots or JFFS2.

 (*) The bdflush, ioprio_set and ioprio_get syscalls can now be absent (return
     error ENOSYS if so).

 (*) The seclvl_bd_claim() and seclvl_bd_release() security calls do nothing if
     CONFIG_BLOCK is not set, since they can't then happen.
