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. Some drivers that use SCSI facilities -
such as USB storage - end up disabled indirectly from this.
(*) Various block-based device drivers, such as IDE and the old CDROM
drivers.
(*) 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.
(*) Makes 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, and so is still available.
(*) Also made contingent are the contents of linux/mpage.h, linux/genhd.h and
parts of linux/fs.h.
(*) Makes a number of files in fs/ contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) Makes mm/bounce.c (bounce buffering) contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) set_page_dirty() doesn't call __set_page_dirty_buffers() if CONFIG_BLOCK
is not enabled.
(*) fs/no-block.c is created to hold out-of-line stubs and things that are
required when CONFIG_BLOCK is not set:
(*) Default blockdev file operations (to give error ENODEV on opening).
(*) Makes some /proc changes:
(*) /proc/devices does not list any blockdevs.
(*) /proc/diskstats and /proc/partitions are contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) Makes some compat ioctl handling contingent on CONFIG_BLOCK.
(*) If CONFIG_BLOCK is not defined, makes sys_quotactl() return -ENODEV if
given command other than Q_SYNC or if a special device is specified.
(*) 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 by way of cond_syscall 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.

If you have a CD-ROM drive that is neither SCSI nor IDE/ATAPI, say Y
|
|
here, otherwise N. Read the CD-ROM-HOWTO, available from
|
|
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
|
|
|
|
Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the
|
|
kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
|
|
the questions about these CD-ROM drives. If you are unsure what you
|
|
have, say Y and find out whether you have one of the following
|
|
drives.
|
|
|
|
For each of these drivers, a <file:Documentation/cdrom/{driver_name}>
|
|
exists. Especially in cases where you do not know exactly which kind
|
|
of drive you have you should read there. Most of these drivers use a
|
|
file drivers/cdrom/{driver_name}.h where you can define your
|
|
interface parameters and switch some internal goodies.
|
|
|
|
To compile these CD-ROM drivers as a module, choose M instead of Y.
|
|
|
|
If you want to use any of these CD-ROM drivers, you also have to
|
|
answer Y or M to "ISO 9660 CD-ROM file system support" below (this
|
|
answer will get "defaulted" for you if you enable any of the Linux
|
|
CD-ROM drivers).

|
CR540 CD-ROM drive. This driver -- just like all these CD-ROM

drivers -- is NOT for CD-ROM drives with IDE/ATAPI interfaces, such

as Aztech CDA269-031SE. Please read the file

<file:Documentation/cdrom/aztcd>.
|
|

This driver supports most of the drives which use the Panasonic or
|
|
Sound Blaster interface. Please read the file
|

<file:Documentation/cdrom/sbpcd>.
|
|
|
|
The Matsushita CR-521, CR-522, CR-523, CR-562, CR-563 drives
|
|
(sometimes labeled "Creative"), the Creative Labs CD200, the
|
|
Longshine LCS-7260, the "IBM External ISA CD-ROM" (in fact a CR-56x
|
|
model), the TEAC CD-55A fall under this category. Some other
|
|
"electrically compatible" drives (Vertos, Genoa, some Funai models)
|
|
are currently not supported; for the Sanyo H94A drive currently a
|
|
separate driver (asked later) is responsible. Most drives have a
|
|
uniquely shaped faceplate, with a caddyless motorized drawer, but
|
|
without external brand markings. The older CR-52x drives have a
|
|
caddy and manual loading/eject, but still no external markings. The
|
|
driver is able to do an extended auto-probing for interface
|
|
addresses and drive types; this can help to find facts in cases you
|
|
are not sure, but can consume some time during the boot process if
|
|
none of the supported drives gets found. Once your drive got found,
|
|
you should enter the reported parameters into
|
|
<file:drivers/cdrom/sbpcd.h> and set "DISTRIBUTION 0" there.
|
|
|
|
This driver can support up to four CD-ROM controller cards, and each
|
|
card can support up to four CD-ROM drives; if you say Y here, you
|
|
will be asked how many controller cards you have. If compiled as a

module, only one controller card (but with up to four drives) is

usable.
