* IB/ehca: Activate scaling code by defaultHoang-Nam Nguyen2006-11-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Change ehca's Kconfig to activates scaling code as default. After several measurements we saw that this feature prevents dropped packets (UD) in stress situation. Thus, enabling it helps to improve ehca's bandwidth through IPoIB. Signed-off-by: Hoang-Nam Nguyen <hnguyen@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>

* IB/ehca: Assure 4K alignment for firmware control blocksHoang-Nam Nguyen2006-11-096-35/+81
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Assure 4K alignment for firmware control blocks in 64K page mode, because kzalloc()'s result address might not be 4K aligned if 64K pages are enabled. Thus, we introduce wrappers called ehca_{alloc,free}_fw_ctrlblock(), which use a slab cache for objects with 4K length and 4K alignment in order to alloc/free firmware control blocks in 64K page mode. In 4K page mode those wrappers just are defines of get_zeroed_page() and free_page(). Signed-off-by: Hoang-Nam Nguyen <hnguyen@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Roland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com>
* IB/ehca: Fix eHCA driver compilation for uniprocessorPaul Mackerras2006-10-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | The eHCA driver does not compile for a uniprocessor configuration (CONFIG_SMP=n), due to H_SUCCESS and other symbols being undefined. This fixes it.

* IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells2006-10-052-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* IB/ehca: Tweak trace message formatHoang-Nam Nguyen2006-10-021-1/+1

* IB/ehca: Fix device registrationHoang-Nam Nguyen2006-10-021-17/+19
| | | | | | | | | | Move the call to ib_register_device() later, since a device should not be registered until it is completely read to be used. This fixes crashes that occur if an upper-layer driver such as IPoIB is loaded before the ehca module.
