* drivers/char/ip2: separate polling and irq-driven work entry pointsJeff Garzik2007-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Polling currently calls the irq handler, which loops through all the boards, calling the work function for all polling boards with work. irq handling loops through all the boards, finding the specific board that applies to us, and calling the work just for that one board. The two logics are sufficiently different to warrant different functions, rather than being slack and calling the same function in two different ways. This serves to make the interrupt handler a -lot- more efficient. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | parport_ieee1284_interrupt() was not using its first arg at all. Delete. parport_generic_irq()'s second arg makes its first arg completely redundant. Delete, and use port->irq in the one place where we actually need it. Also, s/__inline__/inline/ to make the code look nicer. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@redhat.com>

This happened to work for ia64, powerpc, sparc64 and x86 because they happened to drag in that file via their <asm/dma-mapping.h>. On most of the others this probably broke. Instead of increasing the header file spider web I choose to include <linux/scatterlist.h> directly into the affectes files.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current INIT_HCA firmware command timeout is sufficient for the default number of resources (QPs, CQs, etc) being allocated, but if the HCA profile is modified to increase the amount of resources, then a spurious timeout is detected and HCA initialization fails. Increase the timeout for the INIT_HCA command to 10 seconds, which also brings it into line with all the other command timeouts.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the same CQ for CM send completions as for all other IPoIB completions. This means all completions are processed via the same NAPI polling routine. This should help reduce the number of interrupts for bi-directional traffic (such as TCP) and fixes "driver is hogging interrupts" errors reported for IPoIB send side, e.g. <https://bugs.openfabrics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508> To do this, keep a per-interface counter of outstanding send WRs, and stop the interface when this counter reaches the send queue size to avoid CQ overruns.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 9ead190b ("IB/uverbs: Don't serialize with ib_uverbs_idr_mutex") rewrote how userspace objects are looked up in the uverbs module's idrs, and introduced a severe bug in the process: there is no checking that an operation is being performed by the right process any more. Fix this by adding the missing check of uobj->context in __idr_get_uobj(). Apparently everyone is being very careful to only touch their own objects, because this bug was introduced in June 2006 in 2.6.18, and has gone undetected until now.

The minimum sq stride value below is taken from the MT25408 PRM (section 11.10, Table 306, log_sq_stride definition).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Deadlock condition reported by Kanoj Sarcar <kanoj@netxen.com>. The deadlock occurs when a connection request arrives at the same time that a wildcard listen is being destroyed. A wildcard listen maintains per device listen requests for each RDMA device in the system. The per device listens are automatically added and removed when RDMA devices are inserted or removed from the system. When a wildcard listen is destroyed, rdma_destroy_id() acquires the rdma_cm's device mutex ('lock') to protect against hot-plug events adding or removing per device listens. It then tries to destroy the per device listens by calling ib_destroy_cm_id() or iw_destroy_cm_id(). It does this while holding the device mutex. However, if the underlying iw/ib CM reports a connection request while this is occurring, the rdma_cm callback function will try to acquire the same device mutex. Since we're in a callback, the ib_destroy_cm_id() or iw_destroy_cm_id() calls will block until their callback thread returns, but the callback is blocked waiting for the device mutex. Fix this by re-working how per device listens are destroyed. Use rdma_destroy_id(), which avoids the deadlock, in place of cma_destroy_listen(). Additional synchronization is added to handle device hot-plug events and ensure that the id is not destroyed twice.

| * RDMA/cma: Add locking around QP accessesSean Hefty2007-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a user allocates a QP on an rdma_cm_id, the rdma_cm will automatically transition the QP through its states (RTR, RTS, error, etc.) While the QP state transitions are occurring, the QP itself must remain valid. Provide locking around the QP pointer to prevent its destruction while accessing the pointer. This fixes an issue reported by Olaf Kirch from Oracle that resulted in a system crash: "An incoming connection arrives and we decide to tear down the nascent connection. The remote ends decides to do the same. We start to shut down the connection, and call rdma_destroy_qp on our cm_id. ... Now apparently a 'connect reject' message comes in from the other host, and cma_ib_handler() is called with an event of IB_CM_REJ_RECEIVED. It calls cma_modify_qp_err, which for some odd reason tries to modify the exact same QP we just destroyed."

The best thing to do is to generalize lgread_u32 and lgwrite_u32. This means we lose the efficiency of getuser().

We change the device descriptor page from a simple array to a variable length "type, config_len, status, config data..." format, and implement virtio_config_ops to read from that config data. We use the virtio ring implementation for an efficient Guest <-> Host virtqueue mechanism, and the new LHCALL_NOTIFY hypercall to kick the host when it changes. We also use LHCALL_NOTIFY on kernel addresses for very very early console output. We could have another hypercall, but this hack works quite well. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

We could be tricky if we cared. 6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings. Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector and inbuf id. The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last sg is the status byte. Whether the N entries are in or out depends on whether it's a read or a write. We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported. It's not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir(). Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd, CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace. This needs a separate patch.

| * | Allow guest to specify syscall vector to use.Rusty Russell2007-10-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (Based on Ron Minnich's LGUEST_PLAN9_SYSCALL patch). This patch allows Guests to specify what system call vector they want, and we try to reserve it. We only allow one non-Linux system call vector, to try to avoid DoS on the Host.
