* netdevice: safe convert to netdev_priv() #part-1Wang Chen2008-11-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have some reasons to kill netdev->priv: 1. netdev->priv is equal to netdev_priv(). 2. netdev_priv() wraps the calculation of netdev->priv's offset, obviously netdev_priv() is more flexible than netdev->priv. But we cann't kill netdev->priv, because so many drivers reference to it directly. This patch is a safe convert for netdev->priv to netdev_priv(netdev). Since all of the netdev->priv is only for read. But it is too big to be sent in one mail. I split it to 4 parts and make every part smaller than 100,000 bytes, which is max size allowed by vger.

* dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()FUJITA Tomonori2008-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER architecture does: This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423). I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated. A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before. If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate dma_mapping_ops per device. The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different dma_mapping_error functions. The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in all the architecture. This patch: dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device argument.

* IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells2006-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

* [PATCH] iseries_veth: Fix bogus counting of TX errorsMichael Ellerman2005-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There's a number of problems with the way iseries_veth counts TX errors. Firstly it counts conditions which aren't really errors as TX errors. This includes if we don't have a connection struct for the other LPAR, or if the other LPAR is currently down (or just doesn't want to talk to us). Neither of these should count as TX errors. Secondly, it counts one TX error for each LPAR that fails to accept the packet. This can lead to TX error counts higher than the total number of packets sent through the interface. This is confusing for users. This patch fixes that behaviour. The non-error conditions are no longer counted, and we introduce a new and I think saner meaning to the TX counts. If a packet is successfully transmitted to any LPAR then it is transmitted and tx_packets is incremented by 1. If there is an error transmitting a packet to any LPAR then that is counted as one error, ie. tx_errors is incremented by 1.

* [PATCH] iseries_veth: Simplify full-queue handlingMichael Ellerman2005-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The iseries_veth driver often has multiple netdevices sending packets over a single connection to another LPAR. If the bandwidth to the other LPAR is exceeded, all the netdevices must have their queues stopped. The current code achieves this by queueing one incoming skb on the per-netdevice port structure. When the connection is able to send more packets we iterate through the port structs and flush any packet that is queued, as well as restarting the associated netdevice's queue. This arrangement makes less sense now that we have per-connection TX timers, rather than the per-netdevice generic TX timer. The new code simply detects when one of the connections is full, and stops the queue of all associated netdevices. Then when a packet is acked on that connection (ie. there is space again) all the queues are woken up.

* [PATCH] iseries_veth: Add a per-connection ack timerMichael Ellerman2005-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the iseries_veth driver contravenes the specification in Documentation/networking/driver.txt, in that if packets are not acked by the other LPAR they will sit around forever. This patch adds a per-connection timer which fires if we've had no acks for five seconds. This is superior to the generic TX timer because it catches the case of a small number of packets being sent and never acked. This fixes a bug we were seeing on real systems, where some IPv6 neighbour discovery packets would not be acked and then prevent the module from being removed, due to skbs lying around.

* [PATCH] iseries_veth: Use kobjects to track lifecycle of connection structsMichael Ellerman2005-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The iseries_veth driver can attach to multiple vlans, which correspond to multiple net devices. However there is only 1 connection between each LPAR, so the connection structure may be shared by multiple net devices. This makes module removal messy, because we can't deallocate the connections until we know there are no net devices still using them. The solution is to use ref counts on the connections, so we can delete them (actually stop) as soon as the ref count hits zero. This patch fixes (part of) a bug we were seeing with IPv6 sending probes to a dead LPAR, which would then hang us forever due to leftover skbs.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes veth_init_connection() and veth_destroy_connection() symmetrical in that they allocate/deallocate the same data. Currently if there's an error while initialising connections (ie. ENOMEM) we call veth_module_cleanup(), however this will oops because we call driver_unregister() before we've called driver_register(). I've never seen this actually happen though. So instead we explicitly call veth_destroy_connection() for each connection, any that have been set up will be deallocated. We also fix a potential leak if vio_register_driver() fails.

* [PATCH] iseries_veth: Try to avoid pathological reset behaviourMichael Ellerman2005-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The iseries_veth driver contains a state machine which is used to manage how connections are setup and neogotiated between LPARs. If one side of a connection resets for some reason, the two LPARs can get stuck in a race to re-setup the connection. This can lead to the connection being declared dead by one or both ends. In practice the connection is declared dead by one or both ends approximately 8/10 times a connection is reset, although it is rare for connections to be reset. (an example here: http://michael.ellerman.id.au/files/misc/veth-trace.html) The core of the problem is that the end that resets the connection doesn't wait for the other end to become aware of the reset. So the resetting end starts setting the connection back up, and then receives a reset from the other end (which is the response to the initial reset). And so on. We're severely limited in what we can do to fix this. The protocol between LPARs is essentially fixed, as we have to interoperate with both OS/400 and old Linux drivers. Which also means we need a fix that only changes the code on one end. The only fix I've found given that, is to just blindly sleep for a bit when resetting the connection, in the hope that the other end will get itself sorted. Needless to say I'd love it if someone has a better idea. This does work, I've so far been unable to get it to break, whereas without the fix a reset of one end will lead to a dead connection ~8/10 times.

* [PATCH] iseries_veth: Remove a FIXME WRT deletion of the ack_timerMichael Ellerman2005-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The iseries_veth driver has a timer which we use to send acks. When the connection is reset or stopped we need to delete the timer. Currently we only call del_timer() when resetting a connection, which means the timer might run again while the connection is being re-setup. As it turns out that's ok, because the flags the timer consults have been reset. It's cleaner though to call del_timer_sync() once we've dropped the lock, although the timer may still run between us dropping the lock and calling del_timer_sync(), but as above that's ok.

* [PATCH] iseries_veth: Cleanup error and debug messagesMichael Ellerman2005-08-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the iseries_veth driver prints the file name and line number in its error messages. This isn't very useful for most users, so just print "iseries_veth: message" instead. - convert uses of veth_printk() to veth_debug()/veth_error()/veth_info() - make terminology consistent, ie. always refer to LPAR not lpar - be consistent about printing return codes as %d not %x - make format strings fit in 80 columns Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jgarzik@pobox.com>

* [PATCH] iseries_veth: Supress spurious WARN_ON() at module unloadMichael Ellerman2005-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | My patch from a few weeks back (now in mainline), called "Cleanup skbs to prevent unregister_netdevice() hanging", can cause our TX timeout code to fire on machines with lots of VLANs (because it takes > 2 seconds between when we stop the queues and when we're finished stopping the connections). When that happens the TX timeout code freaks out and does a WARN_ON() because as far as it's concerned there shouldn't be a TX timeout happening, which is fair enough. I have a "proper" fix for this, which is to a) do refcounting on connections and b) implement a proper ack timer so we don't keep unacked skbs lying around for ever. But for 2.6.12 I propose just supressing the WARN_ON(). Users will still see the "NETDEV WATCHDOG" warning, but that's not nearly as bad as a WARN_ON() which users interpret as an Oops.

* [PATCH] iseries_veth: Cleanup skbs to prevent unregister_netdevice() hangingMichael Ellerman2005-05-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hi Andrew, Jeff, The iseries_veth driver is badly behaved in that it will keep TX packets hanging around forever if they're not ACK'ed and the queue never fills up. This causes the unregister_netdevice code to wait forever when we try to take the device down, because there's still skbs around with references to our struct net_device. There's already code to cleanup any un-ACK'ed packets in veth_stop_connection() but it's being called after we unregister the net_device, which is too late. The fix is to rearrange the module exit function so that we cleanup any outstanding skbs and then unregister the driver. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <michael@ellerman.id.au>
