2009-08-29async_tx: add support for asynchronous RAID6 recovery operationsDan Williams
async_raid6_2data_recov() recovers two data disk failures async_raid6_datap_recov() recovers a data disk and the P disk These routines are a port of the synchronous versions found in drivers/md/raid6recov.c. The primary difference is breaking out the xor operations into separate calls to async_xor. Two helper routines are introduced to perform scalar multiplication where needed. async_sum_product() multiplies two sources by scalar coefficients and then sums (xor) the result. async_mult() simply multiplies a single source by a scalar. This implemention also includes, in contrast to the original synchronous-only code, special case handling for the 4-disk and 5-disk array cases. In these situations the default N-disk algorithm will present 0-source or 1-source operations to dma devices. To cover for dma devices where the minimum source count is 2 we implement 4-disk and 5-disk handling in the recovery code.

2009-08-29async_tx: add support for asynchronous GF multiplicationDan Williams
[ Based on an original patch by Yuri Tikhonov ] This adds support for doing asynchronous GF multiplication by adding two additional functions to the async_tx API: async_gen_syndrome() does simultaneous XOR and Galois field multiplication of sources. async_syndrome_val() validates the given source buffers against known P and Q values. When a request is made to run async_pq against more than the hardware maximum number of supported sources we need to reuse the previous generated P and Q values as sources into the next operation. Care must be taken to remove Q from P' and P from Q'. For example to perform a 5 source pq op with hardware that only supports 4 sources at a time the following approach is taken: p, q = PQ(src0, src1, src2, src3, COEF({01}, {02}, {04}, {08})) p', q' = PQ(p, q, q, src4, COEF({00}, {01}, {00}, {10})) p' = p + q + q + src4 = p + src4 q' = {00}*p + {01}*q + {00}*q + {10}*src4 = q + {10}*src4 Note: 4 is the minimum acceptable maxpq otherwise we punt to synchronous-software path. The DMA_PREP_CONTINUE flag indicates to the driver to reuse p and q as sources (in the above manner) and fill the remaining slots up to maxpq with the new sources/coefficients. Note1: Some devices have native support for P+Q continuation and can skip this extra work. Devices with this capability can advertise it with dma_set_maxpq. It is up to each driver how to handle the DMA_PREP_CONTINUE flag. Note2: The api supports disabling the generation of P when generating Q, this is ignored by the synchronous path but is implemented by some dma devices to save unnecessary writes. In this case the continuation algorithm is simplified to only reuse Q as a source. Cc: H.

2009-06-03async_xor: permit callers to pass in a 'dma/page scribble' regionDan Williams
async_xor() needs space to perform dma and page address conversions. In most cases the code can simply reuse the struct page * array because the size of the native pointer matches the size of a dma/page address. In order to support archs where sizeof(dma_addr_t) is larger than sizeof(struct page *), or to preserve the input parameters, we utilize a memory region passed in by the caller. Since the code is now prepared to handle the case where it cannot perform address conversions on the stack, we no longer need the !HIGHMEM64G dependency in drivers/dma/Kconfig.

2009-06-03async_tx: structify submission arguments, add scribbleDan Williams
Prepare the api for the arrival of a new parameter, 'scribble'. This will allow callers to identify scratchpad memory for dma address or page address conversions. As this adds yet another parameter, take this opportunity to convert the common submission parameters (flags, dependency, callback, and callback argument) into an object that is passed by reference. Also, take this opportunity to fix up the kerneldoc and add notes about the relevant ASYNC_TX_* flags for each routine.

2009-06-03async_tx: kill ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flagDan Williams
In support of inter-channel chaining async_tx utilizes an ack flag to gate whether a dependent operation can be chained to another. While the flag is not set the chain can be considered open for appending. Setting the ack flag closes the chain and flags the descriptor for garbage collection. The ASYNC_TX_DEP_ACK flag essentially means "close the chain after adding this dependency". Since each operation can only have one child the api now implicitly sets the ack flag at dependency submission time. This removes an unnecessary management burden from clients of the api.

2009-04-08async_tx: rename zero_sum to valDan Williams
'zero_sum' does not properly describe the operation of generating parity and checking that it validates against an existing buffer. Change the name of the operation to 'val' (for 'validate'). This is in anticipation of the p+q case where it is a requirement to identify the target parity buffers separately from the source buffers, because the target parity buffers will not have corresponding pq coefficients.

2009-02-15doc: mmiotrace.txt, buffer size control changePekka Paalanen
Impact: prevents confusing the user when buffer size is inadequate The tracing framework offers a resizeable buffer, which mmiotrace uses to record events. If the buffer is full, the following events will be lost. Events should not be lost, so the documentation instructs the user to increase the buffer size. The buffer size is set via a debugfs file. Mmiotrace documentation was not updated the same time the debugfs file was changed. The old file was tracing/trace_entries and first contained the number of entries the buffer had space for, per cpu. Nowadays this file is replaced with the file tracing/buffer_size_kb, which tells the amount of memory reserved for the buffer, per cpu, in kilobytes. Previously, a flag had to be toggled via the debugfs file tracing/tracing_enabled when the buffer size was changed. This is no longer necessary. The mmiotrace documentation is updated to reflect the current state of the tracing framework.
