From 2b584959ed300ddff4acba0d7554becad5f274fd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Markus Armbruster Date: Tue, 10 Jul 2012 11:12:50 +0200 Subject: block: Geometry and translation hints are now useless, purge them There are two producers of these hints: drive_init() on behalf of -drive, and hd_geometry_guess(). The only consumer of the hint is hd_geometry_guess(). The callers of hd_geometry_guess() call it only when drive_init() didn't set the hints. Therefore, drive_init()'s hints are never used. Thus, hd_geometry_guess() only ever sees hints it produced itself in a prior call. Only the first call computes something, subsequent calls just repeat the first call's results. However, hd_geometry_guess() is never called more than once: the device models don't, and the block device is destroyed on unplug. Thus, dropping the repeat feature doesn't break anything now. If a block device wasn't destroyed on unplug and could be reused with a new device, then repeating old results would be wrong. Thus, dropping the repeat feature prevents future breakage. This renders the hints unused. Purge them from the block layer.
