mainlining shenanigans
627c3ccfb4
If we don't have the block layer enabled, we do not present card status and extcsd in the debugfs. Debugfs is not ABI, and maintaining files of no relevance for non-block devices comes at a high maintenance cost if we shall support it with the block layer compiled out. The debugfs entries suffer from all the same starvation issues as the other userspace things, under e.g. a heavy dd operation. The expected number of debugfs users utilizing these two debugfs files is already low as there is an ioctl() to get the same information using the mmc-tools, and of these few users the expected number of people using it on SDIO or combo cards are expected to be zero. It is therefore logical to move this over to the block layer when it is enabled, using the new custom requests and issue it using the block request queue. On the other hand it moves some debugfs code from debugfs.c and into block.c. Tested during heavy dd load by cat:in the status file.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
