* [SCSI] srp_transport: add target driver supportFUJITA Tomonori2007-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds minimum target driver support: - srp_rport_{add,del} calls scsi_tgt_it_nexus_{create,destroy} for target drivers. - add a callback to notify target drivers of the nexus operation results to srp_function_template.

* [SCSI] tgt: add I_T nexus supportFUJITA Tomonori2007-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | tgt uses scsi_host as I_T nexus. This works for ibmvstgt because it creates one scsi_host for one initiator. However, other target drivers don't work like that. This adds I_T nexus support, which enable one scsi_host to handle multiple initiators. New scsi_tgt_it_nexus_create/destroy functions are expected be called transport classes. For example, ibmvstgt creates an initiator remote port, then the srp transport calls tgt_it_nexus_create. tgt doesn't manages I_T nexus, instead it tells tgtd, user-space daemon, to create a new I_T nexus. On the receiving the response from tgtd, tgt calls shost->transportt->it_nexus_response. transports should notify a lld. The srp transport uses it_nexus_response callback in srp_function_template to do that.

* [SCSI] transport_srp: add rport roles attributeFUJITA Tomonori2007-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | This adds a 'roles' attribute to rport like transport_fc. The role can be initiator or target. That is, the initiator driver creates target remote ports and the target driver creates initiator remote ports.

* [NET]: Share correct feature code between bridging and bondingHerbert Xu2007-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8797 shows that the bonding driver may produce bogus combinations of the checksum flags and SG/TSO. For example, if you bond devices with NETIF_F_HW_CSUM and NETIF_F_IP_CSUM you'll end up with a bonding device that has neither flag set. If both have TSO then this produces an illegal combination. The bridge device on the other hand has the correct code to deal with this. In fact, the same code can be used for both. So this patch moves that logic into net/core/dev.c and uses it for both bonding and bridging. In the process I've made small adjustments such as only setting GSO_ROBUST if at least one constituent device supports it.

| * acpi-cpufreq: Fix some x86/x86-64 acpi-cpufreq driver issuesFenghua Yu2007-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch addresses some issues in x86/x86-64 acpi-cpufreq driver: 1. Current memory allocation for acpi_perf_data is actually open-coded alloc_percpu(). The patch defines and handles acpi_perf_data as percpu data. The code will be cleaner and easier to be maintained with this change. 2. Won't load driver in acpi_cpufreq_early_init() failure case. 3. Add __init for acpi_cpufreq_early_init().

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | powerpc has a couple of bugs in the usage of dma_masks that tend to break when drivers explicitly try to set a 32-bit mask for example. First, the code that generates the pci devices from the OF device-tree doesn't initialize the mask properly, then our implementation of set_dma_mask() was trying to validate the -previous- mask value, not the one passed in as an argument.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Averatec 2370 and some other Turion laptop BIOS seems to program the ENABLE_C1E MSR inconsistently between cores. This confuses the lapic use heuristics because when C1E is enabled anywhere it seems to affect the complete chip. Use a global flag instead of a per cpu flag to handle this. If any CPU has C1E enabled disabled lapic use. Thanks to Cal Peake for debugging.

In particular, paravirt_ops does patching in two stages: first it calls paravirt_ops.patch, then it fills any remaining instructions with nop_out(). nop_out calls text_poke() which calls lookup_address() which calls pgd_val() (aka paravirt_ops.pgd_val): that call site is one of the places we patch. If we always do patching as one single call to text_poke(), we only need make sure we're not patching the memcpy in text_poke itself. This means the prototype to paravirt_ops.patch needs to change, to marshal the new code into a buffer rather than patching in place as it does now. It also means all patching goes through text_poke(), which is known to be safe (apply_alternatives is also changed to make a single patch). AK: fix compilation on x86-64 (bad rusty!)

It is based on Yinghai Lu's and Andy Whitcroft's patches (thanks!) with some changes: - introduce pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() and use it instead of pci_scan_bus() where appropriate. pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() will allocate the sysdata structure and then call pci_scan_bus(). - always allocate pci_sysdata dynamically. The whole point of this sysdata work is to make it easy to do root-bus specific things (e.g., support PCI domains and IOMMU's). I dislike using a default struct pci_sysdata in some places and a dynamically allocated pci_sysdata elsewhere - the potential for someone indavertantly changing the default structure is too high. - this patch only makes the minimal changes necessary, i.e., the NUMA node is always initialized to -1. Patches to do the right thing with regards to the NUMA node can build on top of this (either add a 'node' parameter to pci_scan_bus_with_sysdata() or just update the node when it becomes known). The patch was compile tested with various configurations (e.g., NUMAQ, VISWS) and run-time tested on i386 and x86-64. Unfortunately none of my machines exhibited the bugs so caveat emptor. Andy, could you please see if this fixes the NUMA issues you've seen? Riku, does this fix "pci=noacpi" on your laptop?

The problem can be triggered when tcflush() is called when data are being pushed to the line discipline driver by flush_to_ldisc(). flush_to_ldisc() releases tty->buf.lock when calling the line discipline receive_buf function. At that poing tty_buffer_flush() kicks in and sets both tty->buf.head and tty->buf.tail to NULL. When flush_to_ldisc() finishes, it restores tty->buf.head but doesn't touch tty->buf.tail. This corrups the buffer queue, and the next call to tty_buffer_request_room() will allocate a new buffer and overwrite tty->buf.head. The previous buffer is then lost forever without being released. (Thanks to Laurent for the above text, for finding, disgnosing and reporting the bug) - Use tty->flags bits for the flush status. - Wait for the flag to clear again before returning - Fix the doc error noted - Fix flush of empty queue leaving stale flushpending [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@redhat.com> Acked-by: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@microgate.com> Cc: Laurent Pinchart <laurentp@cse-semaphore.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* | | sched: fix bug in balance_tasks()Peter Williams2007-08-09

The variables best_prio and best_prio_seen (inherited from the old move_tasks()) were only required to handle problems caused by the active/expired arrays, the order in which they were processed and the possibility that the task with the highest priority could be on either. These issues are no longer present and the extra overhead associated with their use is unnecessary (and possibly wrong). 2. In the absence of CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED being set, the same this_best_prio variable needs to be used by all scheduling classes or there is a risk of moving too much load. E.g. if the highest priority task on this at the beginning is a fairly low priority task and the rt class migrates a task (during its turn) then that moved task becomes the new highest priority task on this_rq but when the sched_fair class initializes its copy of this_best_prio it will get the priority of the original highest priority task as, due to the run queue locks being held, the reschedule triggered by pull_task() will not have taken place. This could result in inappropriate overriding of skip_for_load and excessive load being moved. The attached patch addresses these problems by deleting all reference to best_prio and best_prio_seen and making this_best_prio a reference parameter to the various functions involved. load_balance_fair() has also been modified so that this_best_prio is only reset (in the loop) if CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED is set. This should preserve the effect of helping spread groups' higher priority tasks around the available CPUs while improving system performance when CONFIG_FAIR_GROUP_SCHED isn't set.

* | | sched: simplify move_tasks()Peter Williams2007-08-09
|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The move_tasks() function is currently multiplexed with two distinct capabilities: 1. attempt to move a specified amount of weighted load from one run queue to another; and 2. attempt to move a specified number of tasks from one run queue to another. The first of these capabilities is used in two places, load_balance() and load_balance_idle(), and in both of these cases the return value of move_tasks() is used purely to decide if tasks/load were moved and no notice of the actual number of tasks moved is taken. The second capability is used in exactly one place, active_load_balance(), to attempt to move exactly one task and, as before, the return value is only used as an indicator of success or failure. This multiplexing of sched_task() was introduced, by me, as part of the smpnice patches and was motivated by the fact that the alternative, one function to move specified load and one to move a single task, would have led to two functions of roughly the same complexity as the old move_tasks() (or the new balance_tasks()). However, the new modular design of the new CFS scheduler allows a simpler solution to be adopted and this patch addresses that solution by: 1. adding a new function, move_one_task(), to be used by active_load_balance(); and 2. making move_tasks() a single purpose function that tries to move a specified weighted load and returns 1 for success and 0 for failure. One of the consequences of these changes is that neither move_one_task() or the new move_tasks() care how many tasks sched_class.load_balance() moves and this enables its interface to be simplified by returning the amount of load moved as its result and removing the load_moved pointer from the argument list. This helps simplify the new move_tasks() and slightly reduces the amount of work done in each of sched_class.load_balance()'s implementations. Further simplification, e.g. changes to balance_tasks(), are possible but (slightly) complicated by the special needs of load_balance_fair() so I've left them to a later patch (if this one gets accepted). NB Since move_tasks() gets called with two run queue locks held even small reductions in overhead are worthwhile.
