2009-09-01ide: convert to ->proc_fopsAlexey Dobriyan1-21/+3
->read_proc, ->write_proc are going away, ->proc_fops should be used instead. The only tricky place is IDENTIFY handling: if for some reason taskfile_lib_get_identify() fails, buffer _is_ changed and at least first byte is overwritten. Emulate old behaviour with returning that first byte to userspace and reporting length=1 despite overall -E. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-09-01libata: add command name parsing for error outputRobert Hancock1-1/+31
This patch improve libata's output for error/notification messages to allow easier comprehension and debugging: When ATAPI commands issued through the SCSI layer fail, use SCSI functions to print the CDB in human-readable form instead of just dumping out the CDB in hex. Print out the name of the failed command (as defined by the ATA specification) in error handling output along with the raw register contents. When reporting status of ACPI taskfile commands executed on resume, also output the names of the commands being executed (or not) in readable form. Since the extra data for printing command names increases kernel size slightly, a config option has been added to allow disabling command name output (as well as some of the error register parsing) for those highly sensitive to kernel text size.

2009-09-01[CPUFREQ] Introduce global, not per core: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpufreqThomas Renninger1-0/+10
Currently everything in the cpufreq layer is per core based. This does not reflect reality, for example ondemand on conservative governors have global sysfs variables. Introduce a global cpufreq directory and add the kobject to the governor struct, so that governors can easily access it. The directory is initialized in the cpufreq_core_init initcall and thus will always be created if cpufreq is compiled in, even if no cpufreq driver is active later.

2009-09-01dcbnl: Add support for setapp/getapp commands to dcbnlYi Zou1-0/+18
This patch adds dcbnl command definitions to support setapp/getapp functionality from the IEEE 802.1Qaz Data Center Bridging Capability Exchange protocol (DCBX) specification. Section 3.3 defines the application protocol and its 802.1p user priority in DCBX, which is implemented here as a pair of setapp/getapp commands in the kernel dcbnl for setting and retrieving the user priority for an given application protocol. The protocol is identified by the combination of an id and an idtype. Currently, when idtype is 0, the corresponding id gives the ether type of this protocol, e.g., for FCoE, it will be 0x8906; when idtype is 1, then the corresponding id gives the TCP or UDP port number. For more information regarding DCBX spec., please refer to the following: http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2008/ az-wadekar-dcbx-capability-exchange-discovery-protocol-1108-v1.01.pdf Signed-off-by: Yi Zou <yi.zou@intel.com> Acked-by: Peter P Waskiewicz Jr <peter.p.waskiewicz.jr@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-09-01net: Add ndo_fcoe_enable/ndo_fcoe_disable to net_device_opsYi Zou1-0/+2
Add ndo_fcoe_enable/_disable to net_device_ops so the corresponding HW can initialize itself for FCoE traffic or clean up after FCoE traffic is done. This is expected to be called by the kernel FCoE stack upon receiving a request for creating an FCoE instance on the corresponding netdev interface. When implemented by the actual HW, the HW driver check the op code to perform corresponding initialization or clean up for FCoE. The initialization normally includes allocating extra queues for FCoE, setting corresponding HW registers for FCoE, indicating FCoE offload features via netdev, etc. The clean-up would include releasing the resources allocated for FCoE.

2009-08-29async_tx: add support for asynchronous RAID6 recovery operationsDan Williams1-0/+8
async_raid6_2data_recov() recovers two data disk failures async_raid6_datap_recov() recovers a data disk and the P disk These routines are a port of the synchronous versions found in drivers/md/raid6recov.c. The primary difference is breaking out the xor operations into separate calls to async_xor. Two helper routines are introduced to perform scalar multiplication where needed. async_sum_product() multiplies two sources by scalar coefficients and then sums (xor) the result. async_mult() simply multiplies a single source by a scalar. This implemention also includes, in contrast to the original synchronous-only code, special case handling for the 4-disk and 5-disk array cases. In these situations the default N-disk algorithm will present 0-source or 1-source operations to dma devices. To cover for dma devices where the minimum source count is 2 we implement 4-disk and 5-disk handling in the recovery code.

2009-08-29async_tx: add support for asynchronous GF multiplicationDan Williams2-6/+90
[ Based on an original patch by Yuri Tikhonov ] This adds support for doing asynchronous GF multiplication by adding two additional functions to the async_tx API: async_gen_syndrome() does simultaneous XOR and Galois field multiplication of sources. async_syndrome_val() validates the given source buffers against known P and Q values. When a request is made to run async_pq against more than the hardware maximum number of supported sources we need to reuse the previous generated P and Q values as sources into the next operation. Care must be taken to remove Q from P' and P from Q'. For example to perform a 5 source pq op with hardware that only supports 4 sources at a time the following approach is taken: p, q = PQ(src0, src1, src2, src3, COEF({01}, {02}, {04}, {08})) p', q' = PQ(p, q, q, src4, COEF({00}, {01}, {00}, {10})) p' = p + q + q + src4 = p + src4 q' = {00}*p + {01}*q + {00}*q + {10}*src4 = q + {10}*src4 Note: 4 is the minimum acceptable maxpq otherwise we punt to synchronous-software path. The DMA_PREP_CONTINUE flag indicates to the driver to reuse p and q as sources (in the above manner) and fill the remaining slots up to maxpq with the new sources/coefficients. Note1: Some devices have native support for P+Q continuation and can skip this extra work. Devices with this capability can advertise it with dma_set_maxpq. It is up to each driver how to handle the DMA_PREP_CONTINUE flag. Note2: The api supports disabling the generation of P when generating Q, this is ignored by the synchronous path but is implemented by some dma devices to save unnecessary writes. In this case the continuation algorithm is simplified to only reuse Q as a source. Cc: H.

2009-08-29async_tx: remove walk of tx->parent chain in dma_wait_for_async_txDan Williams1-0/+23
We currently walk the parent chain when waiting for a given tx to complete however this walk may race with the driver cleanup routine. The routines in async_raid6_recov.c may fall back to the synchronous path at any point so we need to be prepared to call async_tx_quiesce() (which calls dma_wait_for_async_tx). To remove the ->parent walk we guarantee that every time a dependency is attached ->issue_pending() is invoked, then we can simply poll the initial descriptor until completion. This also allows for a lighter weight 'issue pending' implementation as there is no longer a requirement to iterate through all the channels' ->issue_pending() routines as long as operations have been submitted in an ordered chain. async_tx_issue_pending() is added for this case.

Extend SFI to access standard ACPI tables. (eg. the PCI MCFG) using sfi_acpi_table_parse(). Note that this is _not_ a hybrid ACPI + SFI mode. The platform boots in either ACPI mode or SFI mode. SFI runs only with acpi_disabled=1, which can be set at build-time via CONFIG_ACPI=n, or at boot time by the failure to find ACPI platform support.

2009-08-28clocksource: Resolve cpu hotplug dead lock with TSC unstableThomas Gleixner1-0/+1
Martin Schwidefsky analyzed it: To register a clocksource the clocksource_mutex is acquired and if necessary timekeeping_notify is called to install the clocksource as the timekeeper clock. timekeeping_notify uses stop_machine which needs to take cpu_add_remove_lock mutex. Starting a new cpu is done with the cpu_add_remove_lock mutex held. native_cpu_up checks the tsc of the new cpu and if the tsc is no good clocksource_change_rating is called. Which needs the clocksource_mutex and the deadlock is complete. The solution is to replace the TSC via the clocksource watchdog mechanism. Mark the TSC as unstable and schedule the watchdog work so it gets removed in the watchdog thread context.

The additional check for a failed sequence in nfsd4_store_cache_entry() is redundant, since the nfsd4_is_solo_sequence call lower down catches this case. The final ce_cachethis set in nfsd4_sequence is also redundant. Signed-off-by: Andy Adamson <andros@netapp.com> Signed-off-by: J. Bruce Fields <bfields@citi.umich.edu>
2009-08-27Input: add twl4030_keypad driverDavid Brownell1-6/+13
Add a driver for the keypad controller on TWL4030 family chips. These support up to an 8x8 key matrix. The TWL4030 multifunction chips are mostly used on OMAP3 (or OMAP 2430) based boards.

This buffer isn't needed after kmemleak was initialised so it can be freed together with the .init.data section. This patch also marks functions conditionally accessing the early log variables with __ref. Signed-off-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
2009-08-27tracing: Restore the const qualifier for field names and types definitionFrederic Weisbecker1-3/+3
Restore the const qualifier in field's name and type parameters of trace_define_field that was lost while solving a conflict. Fields names and types are defined as builtin constant strings in static TRACE_EVENTs. But kprobes allocates these dynamically. That said, we still want to always pass these strings as const char * in trace_define_fields() to avoid any further accidental writes on the pointed strings.

2009-08-26flex_array: convert element_nr formals to unsignedDavid Rientjes1-4/+6
It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as part of the flex array API. flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative quantity, which is obviously erroneous. flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before struct flex_array. The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as unsigned. Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max array size based on element_size need not be changed.

2009-08-27tracing/kprobes: Dump the culprit kprobe in case of kprobe recursionFrederic Weisbecker1-0/+2
Kprobes can enter into a probing recursion, ie: a kprobe that does an endless loop because one of its core mechanism function used during probing is also probed itself. This patch helps pinpointing the kprobe that raised such recursion by dumping it and raising a BUG instead of a warning (we also disarm the kprobe to try avoiding recursion in BUG itself). Having a BUG instead of a warning stops the stacktrace in the right place and doesn't pollute the logs with hundreds of traces that eventually end up in a stack overflow.
