2007-10-29fix abuses of ptrdiff_tAl Viro
Use of ptrdiff_t in places like - if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, u_tmp->rx_buf, u_tmp->len)) + if (!access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE, (u8 __user *) + (ptrdiff_t) u_tmp->rx_buf, + u_tmp->len)) is wrong; for one thing, it's a bad C (it's what uintptr_t is for; in general we are not even promised that ptrdiff_t is large enough to hold a pointer, just enough to hold a difference between two pointers within the same object). For another, it confuses the fsck out of sparse. Use unsigned long or uintptr_t instead. There are several places misusing ptrdiff_t; fixed.

[PATCH] De-constify sched.h This reverts commit a8972ccf00b7184a743eb6cd9bc7f3443357910c ("sched: constify sched.h") 1) Patch doesn't change any code here, so gcc is already smart enough to "feel" constness in such simple functions. 2) There is no such thing as const task_struct.

2007-10-25Permit silencing of __deprecated warnings.Jeff Garzik
The __deprecated marker is quite useful in highlighting the remnants of old APIs that want removing. However, it is quite normal for one or more years to pass, before the (usually ancient, bitrotten) code in question is either updated or deleted. Thus, like __must_check, add a Kconfig option that permits the silencing of this compiler warning. This change mimics the ifdef-ery and Kconfig defaults of MUST_CHECK as closely as possible.

This adds support for converting the 11 currently defined Reset codes into system error numbers, which are stored in sk_err for further interpretation. This makes the externally visible API behaviour similar to TCP, since a client connecting to a non-existing port will experience ECONNREFUSED. * Code 0, Unspecified, is interpreted as non-error (0); * Code 1, Closed (normal termination), also maps into 0; * Code 2, Aborted, maps into "Connection reset by peer" (ECONNRESET); * Code 3, No Connection and Code 7, Connection Refused, map into "Connection refused" (ECONNREFUSED); * Code 4, Packet Error, maps into "No message of desired type" (ENOMSG); * Code 5, Option Error, maps into "Illegal byte sequence" (EILSEQ); * Code 6, Mandatory Error, maps into "Operation not supported on transport endpoint" (EOPNOTSUPP); * Code 8, Bad Service Code, maps into "Invalid request code" (EBADRQC); * Code 9, Too Busy, maps into "Too many users" (EUSERS); * Code 10, Bad Init Cookie, maps into "Invalid request descriptor" (EBADR); * Code 11, Aggression Penalty, maps into "Quota exceeded" (EDQUOT) which makes sense in terms of using more than the `fair share' of bandwidth.

2007-10-23Lguest support for VirtioRusty Russell
This makes lguest able to use the virtio devices. We change the device descriptor page from a simple array to a variable length "type, config_len, status, config data..." format, and implement virtio_config_ops to read from that config data. We use the virtio ring implementation for an efficient Guest <-> Host virtqueue mechanism, and the new LHCALL_NOTIFY hypercall to kick the host when it changes. We also use LHCALL_NOTIFY on kernel addresses for very very early console output. We could have another hypercall, but this hack works quite well. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Remove old lguest I/O infrrasructure.Rusty Russell
This patch gets rid of the old lguest host I/O infrastructure and replaces it with a single hypercall "LHCALL_NOTIFY" which takes an address.

2007-10-23Virtio helper routines for a descriptor ringbuffer implementationRusty Russell
These helper routines supply most of the virtqueue_ops for hypervisors which want to use a ring for virtio. Unlike the previous lguest implementation: 1) The rings are variable sized (2^n-1 elements). 2) They have an unfortunate limit of 65535 bytes per sg element. 3) The page numbers are always 64 bit (PAE anyone?) 4) They no longer place used[] on a separate page, just a separate cacheline. 5) We do a modulo on a variable. We could be tricky if we cared. 6) Interrupts and notifies are suppressed using flags within the rings. Users need only get the ring pages and provide a notify hook (KVM wants the guest to allocate the rings, lguest does it sanely).

2007-10-23Virtio console driverRusty Russell
This is an hvc-based virtio console driver. It's suboptimal becuase hvc expects to have raw access to interrupts and virtio doesn't assume that, so it currently polls. There are two solutions: expose hvc's "kick" interface, or wean off hvc. Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
2007-10-23Block driver using virtio.Rusty Russell
The block driver uses scatter-gather lists with sg[0] being the request information (struct virtio_blk_outhdr) with the type, sector and inbuf id. The next N sg entries are the bio itself, then the last sg is the status byte. Whether the N entries are in or out depends on whether it's a read or a write. We accept the normal (SCSI) ioctls: they get handed through to the other side which can then handle it or reply that it's unsupported. It's not clear that this actually works in general, since I don't know if blk_pc_request() requests have an accurate rq_data_dir(). Although we try to reply -ENOTTY on unsupported commands, ioctl(fd, CDROMEJECT) returns success to userspace. This needs a separate patch.

2007-10-23Virtio interfaceRusty Russell
This attempts to implement a "virtual I/O" layer which should allow common drivers to be efficiently used across most virtual I/O mechanisms. It will no-doubt need further enhancement. The virtio drivers add buffers to virtio queues; as the buffers are consumed the driver "interrupt" callbacks are invoked. There is also a generic implementation of config space which drivers can query to get setup information from the host.
