The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous
bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional
dependencies. It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over
the details of different hardware offload engine implementations. Code
that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the
api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources.
I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the
'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as
appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown
async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to
provide an api of the following general format:
struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *
async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx,
dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param)
{
struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>);
struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL;
int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0;
struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ?
device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL;
if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */
...
tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index);
...
tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index);
...
async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
} else { /* run <operation> synchronously */
...
<operation>
...
async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param);
}
return tx;
}
async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool. The
channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers. The
async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays. In the
uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility
evenly over channels of similar capabilities. For example if there are two
copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will
handle xor. In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the
operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor
channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1. When a
dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the
operation on the same channel. A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one
channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will
transition between a copy and a xor resource.
Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been
converted to the async_tx api. A driver for the offload engines on the
Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later
commit. With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload
copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines.
On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30%
improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55%
improvement). For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few
percentage points. On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx
implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points
of the original implementation. According to 'top' on iop342 CPU
utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed
according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s.
The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048
--block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5
* iop342 had 1GB of memory available
Details:
* if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making
async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL
* when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will
fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a
tasklet. if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live
polling wait will be performed
* the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available
channels
* In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch
interrupts. The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes
pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel
* Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software
xor routine. To the software routine the destination address is an implied
source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination. This patch
modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address
to mirror the hardware.
Changelog:
* fixed a leftover debug print
* don't allow callbacks in async_interrupt_cond
* fixed xor_block changes
* fixed usage of ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DEST
* drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech
* printk warning fixups from Andrew Morton

interrupts, Neil Brown
* remove the per operation type list, and distribute operation capabilities
evenly amongst the available channels

* introduce the channel_table_initialized flag to prevent early calls to
the api
* reorganize the code to mimic crypto
* include mm.h as not all archs include it in dma-mapping.h
* make the Kconfig options non-user visible, Adrian Bunk
* move async_tx under crypto since it is meant as 'core' functionality, and

The async_tx api tries to use a dma engine for an operation, but will fall
back to an optimized software routine otherwise. Xor support is
implemented using the raid5 xor routines. For organizational purposes this
routine is moved to a common area.
The following fixes are also made:
* rename xor_block => xor_blocks, suggested by Adrian Bunk
* ensure that xor.o initializes before md.o in the built-in case
* checkpatch.pl fixes
* mark calibrate_xor_blocks __init, Adrian Bunk

The current implementation assumes that a channel will only be used by one
client at a time. In order to enable channel sharing the dmaengine core is
changed to a model where clients subscribe to channel-available-events.
Instead of tracking how many channels a client wants and how many it has
received the core just broadcasts the available channels and lets the
clients optionally take a reference. The core learns about the clients'
needs at dma_event_callback time.
In support of multiple operation types, clients can specify a capability
mask to only be notified of channels that satisfy a certain set of
capabilities.
Changelog:
* removed DMA_TX_ARRAY_INIT, no longer needed
* dma_client_chan_free -> dma_chan_release: switch to global reference
counting only at device unregistration time, before it was also happening
at client unregistration time
* clients now return dma_state_client to dmaengine (ack, dup, nak)
* checkpatch.pl fixes
* fixup merge with git-ioat

The current dmaengine interface defines mutliple routines per operation,
i.e. dma_async_memcpy_buf_to_buf, dma_async_memcpy_buf_to_page etc. Adding
more operation types (xor, crc, etc) to this model would result in an
unmanageable number of method permutations.
Are we really going to add a set of hooks for each DMA engine
whizbang feature?
- Jeff Garzik
The descriptor creation process is refactored using the new common
dma_async_tx_descriptor structure. Instead of per driver
do_<operation>_<dest>_to_<src> methods, drivers integrate
dma_async_tx_descriptor into their private software descriptor and then
define a 'prep' routine per operation. The prep routine allocates a
descriptor and ensures that the tx_set_src, tx_set_dest, tx_submit routines
are valid. Descriptor creation and submission becomes:
struct dma_device *dev;
struct dma_chan *chan;
struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx;
tx = dev->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_flag)
tx->tx_set_src(dma_addr_t, tx, index /* for multi-source ops */)
tx->tx_set_dest(dma_addr_t, tx, index)
tx->tx_submit(tx)
In addition to the refactoring, dma_async_tx_descriptor also lays the
groundwork for definining cross-channel-operation dependencies, and a
callback facility for asynchronous notification of operation completion.
Changelog:
* drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech
* fix ioat_dma_dependency_added, also caught by Andrew Morton
* fix dma_sync_wait, change from Andrew Morton
* uninline large functions, change from Andrew Morton
* add tx->callback = NULL to dmaengine calls to interoperate with async_tx
calls
* hookup ioat_tx_submit
* convert channel capabilities to a 'cpumask_t like' bitmap
* removed DMA_TX_ARRAY_INIT, no longer needed
* checkpatch.pl fixes
* make set_src, set_dest, and tx_submit descriptor specific methods
* fixup git-ioat merge
* move group_list and phys to dma_async_tx_descriptor

sis5513: adding PCI-ID
|

Commit 1c710c896eb461895d3c399e15bb5f20b39c9073 added the utimensat()
system call, but didn't handle the case of checking for the writability
of the target right, when the target was a file descriptor, not a
filename.
We cannot use vfs_permission(MAY_WRITE) for that case, and need to
simply check whether the file descriptor is writable. The oops from
using the wrong function was noticed and narrowed down by Markus
Trippelsdorf.

PIO4 is a maximum PIO mode supported by a driver. Using "255" as a max_mode
argument to ide_get_best_pio_mode() could result in wrong timings being used
by a driver (for "pio" equal to 5) or OOPS (for "pio" values > 5 && < 255).

The SiS966 has one additional PCI-ID 1180.
If the chipset is using this PCI-ID, the primary channel is connected to the
first PATA-port. The secondary channel is connected to SATA-ports in IDE
emulation mode. The legacy IO-ports are used.
The including of the PCI-ID into pata_sis is not sufficient, because the legacy
driver in drivers/ide is initialized before pata_sis.

When cleaning up HIDP sessions, we currently close the ACL connection
before deregistering the input device. Closing the ACL connection
schedules a workqueue to remove the associated objects from sysfs, but
the input device still refers to them -- and if the workqueue happens to
run before the input device removal, the kernel will oops when trying to
look up PHYSDEVPATH for the removed input device.
Fix this by deregistering the input device before closing the
connections.

In 7d12e780e003f93433d49ce78cfedf4b4c52adc5 David Howells performed
this evolution:
"IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers"
He correctly updated many of the function definitions that were using this
extra regs pointer parameter but forgot to update some caller sites of
those functions. The reason the modifications was not properly done on all
drivers is that some drivers were rarely compiled because they are for
AMIGA, or that some code sites were inside #ifdefs where the option is not
set or inside #if 0.
Here is the semantic patch that found the occurences

When we enable the SMCf010 IR device, the Toshiba Portege 4000 BIOS claims
the device is working, but it really isn't configured correctly. The BIOS
*will* configure it, but only if we call _SRS after (1) reversing the order
of the SIR and FIR I/O port regions and (2) changing the IRQ from
active-high to active-low.
This patch addresses the 2.6.22 regression:
"no irda0 interface (2.6.21 was OK), smsc does not find chip"
I tested this on a Portege 4000. The smsc-ircc2 driver correctly detects
the device, and "irattach irda0 -s && irdadump" shows transmitted and
received packets.

Processors synchronization in set_mtrr requires the .gate field to be set
after .count field is properly initialized. Without an explicit barrier,
the compiler was reordering those memory stores. That was sometimes
causing a processor (in ipi_handler) to see the .gate change and decrement
.count before the latter is set by set_mtrr() (which then hangs in a
infinite loop with irqs disabled).

The commit 635cf99a80f4ebee59d70eb64bb85ce829e4591f introduced a
regression. Executing a ptrace single step after certain int80
accesses will infinitely loop and never advance the PC.
The TIF_SINGLESTEP check should be done on the return from the syscall
and not before it.

elf_core_dump() supports dumping arch specific ELF notes, via the #define
ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES. Currently the only user of this is the powerpc
spu coredump code.
There is a bug in the handling of foffset WRT the arch notes, which causes
us to erroneously increment foffset by the size of the arch notes, leaving
a block of zeroes in the file, and causing all subsequent data in the file
to be at <supposed position> + <arch note size>. eg:
LOAD 0x050000 0x00100000 0x00000000 0x20000 0x20000 R E 0x10000
Tells us we should have a chunk of data at 0x50000. The truth is the data
is at 0x90dbc = 0x50000 + 0x40dbc (the size of the arch notes).
This bug prevents gdb from reading the core file correctly.
The simplest fix is to simply remember the size of the arch notes, and add
it to foffset after we've written the arch notes. The only drawback is
that if the arch code doesn't write as many bytes as it said it would, we
end up with a broken core dump again. For now I think that's a reasonable
requirement.
Tested on a Cell blade, gdb no longer complains about the core file being
bogus.
While I'm here I should point out that the spu coredump code does not work
if we're dumping to a pipe - we'll have to wait for 23 to fix that.

The idle loop goes to sleep using the WAIT instruction if !need_resched().
This has is suffering from from a race condition that if if just after
need_resched has returned 0 an interrupt might set TIF_NEED_RESCHED but
we've just completed the test so go to sleep anyway. This would be
trivial to fix by just disabling interrupts during that sequence as in:
local_irq_disable();
if (!need_resched())
__asm__("wait");
local_irq_enable();
but the processor architecture leaves it undefined if a processor calling
WAIT with interrupts disabled will ever restart its pipeline and indeed
some processors have made use of the freedom provided by the architecture
definition. This has been resolved and the Config7.WII bit indicates that
the use of WAIT is safe on 24K, 24KE and 34K cores. It also is safe on
74K starting revision 2.1.0 so enable the use of WAIT with interrupts
disabled for 74K based on a c0_prid of at least that.

Older processors used to encode processor version and revision in two
4-bit bitfields, the 4K seems to simply count up and even newer MTI cores
have switched to use the 8-bits as 3:3:2 bitfield with the last field as
the patch number.

The RM7000 processors and the E9000 cores have a bug (though PMC-Sierra
opposes it being called that) where invalid instructions in the same
I-cache line worth of instructions being fetched may case spurious
exceptions.
The workaround for this was only enabled for E9000 cores; enable it also
for all RM7000-based platforms.

If only modules were users of these functions they did not get linked into
the kernel proper, so later module loads would fail as well.

In-kernel sockets created with sock_create_kern don't usually

when SCTP tries to check the non-blocking flag, we Oops when
