When user interrupts ongoing transfers the dmatest may end up with console
lockup, oops, or data mismatch. This patch prevents user to abort any ongoing
test.
Documentation is updated accordingly.

The patch provides a storage for the test results in the linked list. The
gathered data could be used after test is done.
The new file 'results' represents gathered data of the in progress test. The
messages collected are printed to the kernel log as well.
Example of output:
% cat /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/results
dma0chan0-copy0: #1: No errors with src_off=0x7bf dst_off=0x8ad len=0x3fea (0)
The message format is unified across the different types of errors. A number in
the parens represents additional information, e.g. error code, error counter,
or status.
Note that the buffer comparison is done in the old way, i.e. data is not
collected and just printed out.

The following command should return actual state of the test.
% cat /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/run
To wait for test done the user may perform a busy loop that checks the state.
% while [ $(cat /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/run) = "Y" ]
> do
> echo -n "."

Instead of doing
modprobe dmatest ...
modprobe -r dmatest
we allow user to run tests interactively.
The dmatest could be built as module or inside kernel. Let's consider those
cases.
1. When dmatest is built as a module...
After mounting debugfs and loading the module, the /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest
folder with nodes will be created. They are the same as module parameters with
addition of the 'run' node that controls run and stop phases of the test.
Note that in this case test will not run on load automatically.
Example of usage:
% echo dma0chan0 > /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/channel
% echo 2000 > /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/timeout
% echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/iterations
% echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dmatest/run
After a while you will start to get messages about current status or error like
in the original code.
Note that running a new test will stop any in progress test.
2. When built-in in the kernel...
The module parameters that is supplied to the kernel command line will be used
for the first performed test. After user gets a control, the test could be
interrupted or re-run with same or different parameters. For the details see
the above section "1. When dmatest is built as a module..."
In both cases the module parameters are used as initial values for the test case.
You always could check them at run-time by running
% grep -H . /sys/module/dmatest/parameters/*

The proposed change will remove usage of the module parameters as global

device_control is an optional and not implemented in all DMA drivers.
Any calls to these will result in a NULL pointer dereference. dmatest
makes two of these calls when completing the kernel thread and removing
the module. These are corrected by calling the dmaengine_device_control
wrapper and checking for a non-existant device_control function pointer
there.

DMA Engine test module has module parameters to set the number of source
buffers for xor and pq operations. We can set these values larger than the
maximum number of sources that the device can support. These values are
not adjusted and the unsupported number of source buffers are passed to the
device. But most drivers don't check it, so unexpected results will happen.
This makes an appropriate adjustment for these module parameters before use.

Hi,
On the latest tree my compiler has started giving the warning:
drivers/dma/dmatest.c:575:28: warning: the omitted middle operand in ?: will always be ?true?, suggest explicit middle operand [-Wparentheses]
The following patch fixes the missing middle clause with the same
fix that Nicolas Ferre used in the similar clauses.
(There seems to have been a race between him fixing that and
the extra clause going in a little later).
I don't actually know the dmatest code/structures, nor do I own
any hardware to test it on (assuming it needs a DMA engine);
but this patch builds, the existing code is almost certainly
wrong and the fix is the same as the corresponding lines above it.
(WTH is x=y?:z legal C anyway?)

Commit 981ed70d8e (dmatest: make dmatest threads freezable) made
dmatest kthread use set_freezable_with_signal(); however, the
interface is scheduled to be removed in the next merge window.
The problem is that unlike userland tasks there's no default place
which handles signal pending state and it isn't clear who owns and/or
is responsible for clearing TIF_SIGPENDING. For example, in the
current code, try_to_freeze() clears TIF_SIGPENDING but it isn't sure
whether it actually owns the TIF_SIGPENDING nor is it race-free -
ie. the task may continue to run with TIF_SIGPENDING set after the
freezable section.
Unfortunately, we don't have wait_for_completion_freezable_timeout().
This patch open codes it and uses wait_event_freezable_timeout()
instead and removes timeout reloading - wait_event_freezable_timeout()
won't return across freezing events (currently racy but fix scheduled)
and timer doesn't decrement while the task is in freezer. Although
this does lose timer-reset-over-freezing, given that timeout is
supposed to be long enough and failure to finish inside is considered
irrecoverable, I don't think this is worth the complexity.
While at it, move completion to outer scope and explain that we're
ignoring dangling pointer problem after timeout. This should give
slightly better chance at avoiding oops after timeout.

Remove linux/mm.h inclusion from netdevice.h -- it's unused (I've checked manually).
To prevent mm.h inclusion via other channels also extract "enum dma_data_direction"
definition into separate header. This tiny piece is what gluing netdevice.h with mm.h
via "netdevice.h => dmaengine.h => dma-mapping.h => scatterlist.h => mm.h".
Removal of mm.h from scatterlist.h was tried and was found not feasible
on most archs, so the link was cutoff earlier.
Hope people are OK with tiny include file.
Note, that mm_types.h is still dragged in, but it is a separate story.

When we try to test all channels present on our controller together, some
channels of lower priority may be very slow as compared to others. If number of
transfers is unlimited, some channels may timeout and will not finish within 3
seconds. Thus, while doing such regress testing we may need to have higher value
of timeouts. This patch adds support for passing timeout value via module
parameters. Default value is 3 msec, a negative value means max timeout
possible.

'cnt' is unsigned, so this code may become wrong in future as
dmatest_add_threads() can return error code:
cnt = dmatest_add_threads(dtc, DMA_MEMCPY);
thread_count += cnt > 0 ? cnt : 0;
^^^^^^^
Now it can return only -EINVAL if and only if second argument of
dmatest_add_threads() is not one of DMA_MEMCPY, DMA_XOR, DMA_PQ.
So, now it is not wrong but may become wrong in future.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

The dma_chan_dev object is introduced to gear-match sysfs kobject and
dmaengine channel lifetimes. When a channel is removed access to the

Replace the client registration infrastructure with a custom loop to
poll for channels. Once dma_request_channel returns NULL stop asking
for channels. A userspace side effect of this change if that loading
the dmatest module before loading a dma driver will result in no
channels being found, previously dmatest would get a callback. To
facilitate testing in the built-in case dmatest_init is marked as a
late_initcall. Another side effect is that channels under test can not
be used for any other purpose.

Simply, if a client wants any dmaengine channel then prevent all dmaengine
modules from being removed. Once the clients are done re-enable module
removal.
Why?, beyond reducing complication:
1/ Tracking reference counts per-transaction in an efficient manner, as
is currently done, requires a complicated scheme to avoid cache-line
bouncing effects.
2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a
dma-driver can be gracefully removed ahead of its user (net, md, or
dma-slave)
3/ None of the in-tree dma-drivers talk to hot pluggable hardware, but
if such an engine were built one day we still would not need to notify
clients of remove events. The driver can simply return NULL to a
->prep() request, something that is much easier for a client to handle.
