Documentation: Build mic/mpssd only for x86_64

2014-12-05T16:18:36+00:00

mic/mpssd along with MIC drivers are currently only usable on
x86_64. So build mic/mpssd only for x86_64 to avoid build breaks on
big-endian systems.

Documentation: update include path for mpssd

2014-10-03T13:48:20+00:00

sysfs.c includes mpssd.h which includes virtio_ids.h.
sysfs.c doesn't have the proper include flags set to use the latest
headers, so this causes a build error if the system headers are too old.

misc: mic: Fix endianness issues.

2013-11-27T19:03:38+00:00

Endianness issues are now consistent as per the documentation in
host/mic_virtio.h. Sparse warnings related to endianness are also fixed.
Note that the MIC driver implementation assumes that the host can be
both BE or LE whereas the card is always LE.

misc: mic: Fix user space namespace pollution from mic_common.h.

2013-11-27T19:03:38+00:00

Avoid declaring ALIGN() and __aligned() in
include/uapi/linux/mic_common.h since they pollute user space
namespace. Also, mic_aligned_size() can be simply replaced simply by
sizeof() since all structures where mic_aligned_size() is used are
declared using __attribute__ ((aligned(8)));

Subject: Namespace pollution in mic_common.h

This puts two macros, ALIGN() and __aligned(), into arbitrary user space
namespace.  This really isn't safe or acceptable, especially since those
symbols are highly generic.
...
When these structures are forced-aligned, they will in fact have padding
automatically added by the compiler to an 8-byte boundary anyway, so
mic_aligned_size() does nothing.

misc: mic: Bug fix for sysfs poll usage.

2013-11-27T19:03:38+00:00

MIC user space daemon poll's on sysfs changes. The documentation for
sysfs_poll(...) in fs/sysfs/file.c states that "Once poll/select
indicates that the value has changed, you need to close and re-open the
file, or seek to 0 and read again". This step was missed out earlier and
resulted in the daemon spinning continuously rather than getting blocked
in 'poll'. This bug was exposed by commit aea585ef8fa65163 introduced as
part of sysfs changes in 3.13-rc1. A seek to 0 has been introduced to
fix it.
