* [PATCH] fix remaining missing includesTim Schmielau2005-11-0727-1/+51
| | | | | | | | | | Fix more include file problems that surfaced since I submitted the previous fix-missing-includes.patch. This should now allow not to include sched.h from module.h, which is done by a followup patch.

* [PATCH] aio: remove aio_max_nr accounting raceZach Brown2005-11-071-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AIO was adding a new context's max requests to the global total before testing if that resulting total was over the global limit. This let innocent tasks get their new limit tested along with a racing guilty task that was crossing the limit. This serializes the _nr accounting with a spinlock It also switches to using unsigned long for the global totals. Individual contexts are still limited to an unsigned int's worth of requests by the syscall interface. The problem and fix were verified with a simple program that spun creating and destroying a context while holding on to another long lived context. Before the patch a task creating a tiny context could get a spurious EAGAIN if it raced with a task creating a very large context that overran the limit.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There was only one board using this (hp690 specifically), and it just so happens that it's only physically discontiguous at the "normal" P1 offset. If we bump up the P1 offset, it's possible to hit a shadowed region of memory where we suddenly become magically contiguous. As people have been using this shadowed region workaround for quite some time (and without any adverse effects), it's time to drop the left over discontig bits that no longer have any practical use (it was always very much hp690-centric to begin with).

* [PATCH] superhyway: multiple block support and VCR reworkPaul Mundt2005-11-071-5/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the API somewhat to allow for platform-specific VCR reading and writing. Some platforms (like SH4-202) implement the VCR in a split VCRL and VCRH, but end up being in reverse order or have other quirks that need to be dealt with, so we add a set of superhyway_ops per-bus to accomodate this. We also have to extend the per-device resources somewhat, as some devices now conveniently split control and data blocks. So we allow a platform to register its set of SuperHyway devices via superhyway_add_devices() with the control block always ordered as the first resource (as this is the one that userspace cares about).

* [PATCH] ppc64: Fix bug in SLB miss handler for hugepagesDavid Gibson2005-11-072-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch, however, should be applied on top of the 64k-page-size patch to fix some problems with hugepage (some pre-existing, another introduced by this patch). The patch fixes a bug in the SLB miss handler for hugepages on ppc64 introduced by the dynamic hugepage patch (commit id c594adad5653491813959277fb87a2fef54c4e05) due to a misunderstanding of the srd instruction's behaviour (mea culpa). The problem arises when a 64-bit process maps some hugepages in the low 4GB of the address space (unusual). In this case, as well as the 256M segment in question being marked for hugepages, other segments at 32G intervals will be incorrectly marked for hugepages. In the process, this patch tweaks the semantics of the hugepage bitmaps to be more sensible. Previously, an address below 4G was marked for hugepages if the appropriate segment bit in the "low areas" bitmask was set *or* if the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap was set (which would mark all addresses below 1TB for hugepage). With this patch, any given address is governed by a single bitmap. Addresses below 4GB are marked for hugepage if and only if their bit is set in the "low areas" bitmap (256M granularity). Addresses between 4GB and 1TB are marked for hugepage iff the low bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set. Higher addresses are marked for hugepage iff their bit in the "high areas" bitmap is set (1TB granularity). To avoid conflicts, this patch must be applied on top of BenH's pending patch for 64k base page size [0]. As such, this patch also addresses a hugepage problem introduced by that patch. That patch allows hugepages of 1MB in size on hardware which supports it, however, that won't work when using 4k pages (4 level pagetable), because in that case hugepage PTEs are stored at the PMD level, and each PMD entry maps 2MB. This patch simply disallows hugepages in that case (we can do something cleverer to re-enable them some other day). Built, booted, and a handful of hugepage related tests passed on POWER5 LPAR (both ARCH=powerpc and ARCH=ppc64).

When we perform the reset, we wanted to tear down the internal data structures and rebuild them. Unfortunately, when it came to the rport structure, things were odd. If we deleted them, the scsi targets and sdevs would be torn down. Not a good thing for a temporary reset. We could block the rports, but we either maintain the internal structures to keep the rport reference (perhaps even replicating what's in the transport), or we have to fatten the fc transport with new search routines to find the rport (and deal with a case of a dangling rport that the driver forgets). It dawned on me that we had actually reached this state incorrectly. When the fc transport first started, we did the block/unblock first, then added the rport interface. The purpose of block/unblock is to hide the temporary disappearance of the rport (e.g. being deleted, then readded). Why are we making the driver do the block/unblock ? We should be making the transport have only an rport add/delete, and the let the transport handle the block/unblock. So... This patch removes the existing fc_remote_port_block/unblock functions. It moves the block/unblock functionality into the fc_remote_port_add/delete functions. Updates for the lpfc driver are included. Qlogic driver updates are also enclosed, thanks to the contributions of Andrew Vasquez. [Note: the qla2xxx changes are relative to the scsi-misc-2.6 tree as of this morning - which does not include the recent patches sent by Andrew]. The zfcp driver does not use the block/unblock functions. One last comment: The resulting behavior feels very clean. The LLDD is concerned only with add/delete, which corresponds to the physical disappearance. However, the fact that the scsi target and sdevs are not immediately torn down after the LLDD calls delete causes an interesting scenario... the midlayer can call the xxx_slave_alloc and xxx_queuecommand functions with a sdev that is at the location the rport used to be. The driver must validate the device exists when it first enters these functions. In thinking about it, this has always been the case for the LLDD and these routines. The existing drivers already check for existence. However, this highlights that simple validation via data structure dereferencing needs to be watched. To deal with this, a new transport function, fc_remote_port_chkready() was created that LLDDs should call when they first enter these two routines. It validates the rport state, and returns a scsi result which could be returned. In addition to solving the above, it also creates consistent behavior from the LLDD's when the block and deletes are occuring.
