* ieee1394: shrink tlabel pools, remove tpool semaphoresStefan Richter2006-09-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch reduces the size of struct hpsb_host and also removes semaphores from ieee1394_transactions.c. On i386, struct hpsb_host shrinks from 10656 bytes to 6688 bytes. This is accomplished by - using a single wait_queue for hpsb_get_tlabel instead of many instances of semaphores, - using a single lock to serialize access to all tlabel pools (the protected code regions are small, i.e. lock contention very low), - omitting the sysfs attribute tlabels_allocations. Drawback: In the rare case that a process needs to sleep because all transaction labels for the node are temporarily exhausted, it is also woken up if a tlabel for a different node became free, checks for an available tlabel, and is put to sleep again. The check is not costly and the situation occurs extremely rarely. (Tlabels are typically only exhausted if there was no context switch to the khpsbpkt thread which recycles tlables.) Therefore the benefit of reduced tpool size outweighs this drawback. The sysfs attributes tlabels_free and tlabels_mask are not compiled anymore unless CONFIG_IEEE1394_VERBOSEDEBUG is set. The by far biggest member of struct hpsb_host, the struct csr_control csr (5272 bytes on i386), is now placed at the end of struct hpsb_host. Note, hpsb_get_tlabel calls the macro wait_event_interruptible with a condition argument which has a side effect (allocation of a tlabel and manipulation of the packet). This side effect happens only if the condition is true. The patch relies on wait_event_interruptible not evaluating the condition again after it became true.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
