2008-04-17libata: make reset related methods proper port operationsTejun Heo
Currently reset methods are not specified directly in the ata_port_operations table. If a LLD wants to use custom reset methods, it should construct and use a error_handler which uses those reset methods. It's done this way for two reasons. First, the ops table already contained too many methods and adding four more of them would noticeably increase the amount of necessary boilerplate code all over low level drivers. Second, as ->error_handler uses those reset methods, it can get confusing. ie. By overriding ->error_handler, those reset ops can be made useless making layering a bit hazy. Now that ops table uses inheritance, the first problem doesn't exist anymore. The second isn't completely solved but is relieved by providing default values - most drivers can just override what it has implemented and don't have to concern itself about higher level callbacks. In fact, there currently is no driver which actually modifies error handling behavior. Drivers which override ->error_handler just wraps the standard error handler only to prepare the controller for EH. I don't think making ops layering strict has any noticeable benefit. This patch makes ->prereset, ->softreset, ->hardreset, ->postreset and their PMP counterparts propoer ops. Default ops are provided in the base ops tables and drivers are converted to override individual reset methods instead of creating custom error_handler. * ata_std_error_handler() doesn't use sata_std_hardreset() if SCRs aren't accessible. sata_promise doesn't need to use separate error_handlers for PATA and SATA anymore. * softreset is broken for sata_inic162x and sata_sx4. As libata now always prefers hardreset, this doesn't really matter but the ops are forced to NULL using ATA_OP_NULL for documentation purpose. * pata_hpt374 needs to use different prereset for the first and second PCI functions. This used to be done by branching from hpt374_error_handler(). The proper way to do this is to use separate ops and port_info tables for each function. Converted.

2008-04-17libata: kill port_info->sht and ->irq_handlerTejun Heo
libata core layer doesn't care about sht or ->irq_handler. Those are only of interest to the LLD during initialization. This is confusing and has caused several drivers to have duplicate unused initializers for these fields. Currently only sata_nv uses these fields. Make sata_nv use ->private_data, which is supposed to carry LLD-specific information, instead and kill ->sht and ->irq_handler. nv_pi_priv structure is defined and struct literals are used to initialize private_data. Notational overhead is negligible. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>
2008-04-17libata: stop overloading port_info->private_dataTejun Heo
port_info->private_data is currently used for two purposes - to record private data about the port_info or to specify host->private_data to use when allocating ata_host. This overloading is confusing and counter-intuitive in that port_info->private_data becomes host->private_data instead of port->private_data. In addition, port_info and host don't correspond to each other 1-to-1. Currently, the first non-NULL port_info->private_data is used. This patch makes port_info->private_data just be what it is - private_data for the port_info where LLD can jot down extra info. libata no longer sets host->private_data to the first non-NULL port_info->private_data, @host_priv argument is added to ata_pci_init_one() instead. LLDs which use ata_pci_init_one() can use this argument to pass in pointer to host private data. LLDs which don't should use init-register model anyway and can initialize host->private_data directly. Adding @host_priv instead of using init-register model for LLDs which use ata_pci_init_one() is suggested by Alan Cox.

2008-04-17libata: make ata_pci_init_one() not use ops->irq_handler and pi->shtTejun Heo
ata_pci_init_one() is the only function which uses ops->irq_handler and pi->sht. Other initialization functions take the same information as arguments. This causes confusion and duplicate unused entries in structures. Make ata_pci_init_one() take sht as an argument and use ata_interrupt implicitly. All current users use ata_interrupt and if different irq handler is necessary open coding ata_pci_init_one() using ata_prepare_sff_host() and ata_activate_sff_host can be done under ten lines including error handling and driver which requires custom interrupt handler is likely to require custom initialization anyway. As ata_pci_init_one() was the last user of ops->irq_handler, this patch also kills the field. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>
2008-04-17libata: implement and use ops inheritanceTejun Heo
libata lets low level drivers build ata_port_operations table and register it with libata core layer. This allows low level drivers high level of flexibility but also burdens them with lots of boilerplate entries. This becomes worse for drivers which support related similar controllers which differ slightly. They share most of the operations except for a few. However, the driver still needs to list all operations for each variant. This results in large number of duplicate entries, which is not only inefficient but also error-prone as it becomes very difficult to tell what the actual differences are. This duplicate boilerplates all over the low level drivers also make updating the core layer exteremely difficult and error-prone. When compounded with multi-branched development model, it ends up accumulating inconsistencies over time. Some of those inconsistencies cause immediate problems and fixed. Others just remain there dormant making maintenance increasingly difficult. To rectify the problem, this patch implements ata_port_operations inheritance. To allow LLDs to easily re-use their own ops tables overriding only specific methods, this patch implements poor man's class inheritance. An ops table has ->inherits field which can be set to any ops table as long as it doesn't create a loop. When the host is started, the inheritance chain is followed and any operation which isn't specified is taken from the nearest ancestor which has it specified. This operation is called finalization and done only once per an ops table and the LLD doesn't have to do anything special about it other than making the ops table non-const such that libata can update it. libata provides four base ops tables lower drivers can inherit from - base, sata, pmp, sff and bmdma. To avoid overriding these ops accidentaly, these ops are declared const and LLDs should always inherit these instead of using them directly. After finalization, all the ops table are identical before and after the patch except for setting .irq_handler to ata_interrupt in drivers which didn't use to. The .irq_handler doesn't have any actual effect and the field will soon be removed by later patch. * sata_sx4 is still using old style EH and currently doesn't take advantage of ops inheritance.

2008-04-17libata: implement and use SHT initializersTejun Heo
libata lets low level drivers build scsi_host_template and register it to the SCSI layer. This allows low level drivers high level of flexibility but also burdens them with lots of boilerplate entries. This patch implements SHT initializers which can be used to initialize all the boilerplate entries in a sht. Three variants of them are implemented - BASE, BMDMA and NCQ - for different types of drivers. Note that entries can be overriden by putting individual initializers after the helper macro. All sht tables are identical before and after this patch. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>
2008-04-17libata: implement and use ata_noop_irq_clear()Tejun Heo
->irq_clear() is used to clear IRQ bit of a SFF controller and isn't useful for drivers which don't use libata SFF HSM implementation. However, it's a required callback and many drivers implement their own noop version as placeholder. This patch implements ata_noop_irq_clear and use it to replace those custom placeholders. Also, SFF drivers which don't support BMDMA don't need to use ata_bmdma_irq_clear(). It becomes noop if BMDMA address isn't initialized. Convert them to use ata_noop_irq_clear().

2008-04-17libata: kill ata_ehi_schedule_probe()Tejun Heo
ata_ehi_schedule_probe() was created to hide details of link-resuming reset magic. Now that all the softreset workarounds are gone, scheduling probe is very simple - set probe_mask and request RESET. Kill ata_ehi_schedule_probe() and open code it. This also increases consistency as ata_ehi_schedule_probe() couldn't cover individual device probings so they were open-coded even when the helper existed. While at it, define ATA_ALL_DEVICES as mask of all possible devices on a link and always use it when requesting probe on link level for simplicity and consistency. Setting extra bits in the probe_mask doesn't hurt anybody. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>
2008-04-17libata: kill ATA_LFLAG_SKIP_D2H_BSYTejun Heo
Some controllers can't reliably record the initial D2H FIS after SATA link is brought online for whatever reason. Advanced controllers which don't have traditional TF register based interface often have this problem as they don't really have the TF registers to update while the controller and link are being initialized. SKIP_D2H_BSY works around the problem by skipping the wait for device readiness before issuing SRST, so for such controllers libata issues SRST blindly and hopes for the best. Now that libata defaults to hardreset, this workaround is no longer necessary. For controllers which have support for hardreset, SRST is never issued by itself. It is only issued as follow-up SRST for device classification and PMP initialization, so there's no need to wait for it from prereset. Kill ATA_LFLAG_SKIP_D2H_BSY.

2008-04-17libata: kill ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINKTejun Heo
ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK has two functions - promote reset to hardreset if ATA_LFLAG_HRST_TO_RESUME is set and preventing EH from shortcutting reset action when probing is requested. The former is gone now and the latter can easily be achieved by making EH to perform at least one reset if reset is requested, which also makes more sense than depending on RESUME_LINK flag. As ATA_EHI_RESUME_LINK was the only EHI reset modifier, this also kills reset modifier handling. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com>

2008-04-17libata: prefer hardresetTejun Heo
When both soft and hard resets are available, libata preferred softreset till now. The logic behind it was to be softer to devices; however, this doesn't really help much. Rationales for the change: * BIOS may freeze lock certain things during boot and softreset can't unlock those. This by itself is okay but during operation PHY event or other error conditions can trigger hardreset and the device may end up with different configuration. For example, after a hardreset, previously unlockable HPA can be unlocked resulting in different device size and thus revalidation failure. Similar condition can occur during or after resume. * Certain ATAPI devices require hardreset to recover after certain error conditions. On PATA, this is done by issuing the DEVICE RESET command. On SATA, COMRESET has equivalent effect. The problem is that DEVICE RESET needs its own execution protocol. For SFF controllers with bare TF access, it can be easily implemented but more advanced controllers (e.g. ahci and sata_sil24) require specialized implementations. Simply using hardreset solves the problem nicely. * COMRESET initialization sequence is the norm in SATA land and many SATA devices don't work properly if only SRST is used. For example, some PMPs behave this way and libata works around by always issuing hardreset if the host supports PMP. Like the above example, libata has developed a number of mechanisms aiming to promote softreset to hardreset if softreset is not going to work. This approach is time consuming and error prone. Also, note that, dependingon how you read the specs, it could be argued that PMP fan-out ports require COMRESET to start operation. In fact, all the PMPs on the market except one don't work properly if COMRESET is not issued to fan-out ports after PMP reset. * COMRESET is an integral part of SATA connection and any working device should be able to handle COMRESET properly. After all, it's the way to signal hardreset during reboot. This is the most used and recommended (at least by the ahci spec) method of resetting devices. So, this patch makes libata prefer hardreset over softreset by making the following changes. * Rename ATA_EH_RESET_MASK to ATA_EH_RESET and use it whereever ATA_EH_{SOFT|HARD}RESET used to be used. ATA_EH_{SOFT|HARD}RESET is now only used to tell prereset whether soft or hard reset will be issued. * Strip out now unneeded promote-to-hardreset logics from ata_eh_reset(), ata_std_prereset(), sata_pmp_std_prereset() and other places.

2008-04-11pnp: increase number of devices supported per protocolBjorn Helgaas
Increase the PNP "number of devices" limit. We currently use an unsigned char, which limits us to 256 devices per protocol. This patch changes that to an unsigned int. Not all backends can take advantage of this: we limit ISAPNP to 10 devices in isapnp_cfg_begin(), and PNPBIOS is limited to 256 devices because the BIOS interfaces use a one-byte device node number. But there is no limit on the number of PNPACPI devices we may have. Large HP Integrity machines have more than 256, which causes the current "unsigned char number" to wrap around. This causes errors like this: pnp: PnP ACPI init kobject_add failed for 00:00 with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory.

It should not have any adverse effect on ISAPNP or PNPBIOS because their limits are still enforced in the backends.

2008-04-10Add commentary about the new "asmlinkage_protect()" macroLinus Torvalds
It's really a pretty ugly thing to need, and some day it will hopefully be obviated by teaching gcc about the magic calling conventions for the low-level system call code, but in the meantime we can at least add big honking comments about why we need these insane and strange macros. I took my comments from my version of the macro, but I ended up deciding to just pick Roland's version of the actual code instead (with his prettier syntax that uses vararg macros). Thus the previous two commits that actually implement it. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2008-04-10asmlinkage_protect replaces prevent_tail_callRoland McGrath
The prevent_tail_call() macro works around the problem of the compiler clobbering argument words on the stack, which for asmlinkage functions is the caller's (user's) struct pt_regs. The tail/sibling-call optimization is not the only way that the compiler can decide to use stack argument words as scratch space, which we have to prevent. Other optimizations can do it too. Until we have new compiler support to make "asmlinkage" binding on the compiler's own use of the stack argument frame, we have work around all the manifestations of this issue that crop up. More cases seem to be prevented by also keeping the incoming argument variables live at the end of the function. This makes their original stack slots attractive places to leave those variables, so the compiler tends not clobber them for something else. It's still no guarantee, but it handles some observed cases that prevent_tail_call() did not.

2008-04-10FRV: Handle update_mmu_cache() being called when current->mm is NULL [try #2]David Howells
Handle update_mmu_cache() being called when current->mm is NULL. We cache static TLB mappings for the current page table in DAMPR4 and DAMPR5 on the theory that the next data lookup is likely to be in the same general region, and thus is likely to be mapped by the same page table. However, we can't get this information if we can't access the appropriate mm_struct. If current->mm is NULL, we just clear the cache in the knowledge that the TLB miss handlers will load it.

2008-04-07[TCP]: tcp_simple_retransmit can cause S+LIlpo Järvinen
This fixes Bugzilla #10384 tcp_simple_retransmit does L increment without any checking whatsoever for overflowing S+L when Reno is in use. The simplest scenario I can currently think of is rather complex in practice (there might be some more straightforward cases though). Ie., if mss is reduced during mtu probing, it may end up marking everything lost and if some duplicate ACKs arrived prior to that sacked_out will be non-zero as well, leading to S+L > packets_out, tcp_clean_rtx_queue on the next cumulative ACK or tcp_fastretrans_alert on the next duplicate ACK will fix the S counter. More straightforward (but questionable) solution would be to just call tcp_reset_reno_sack() in tcp_simple_retransmit but it would negatively impact the probe's retransmission, ie., the retransmissions would not occur if some duplicate ACKs had arrived. So I had to add reno sacked_out reseting to CA_Loss state when the first cumulative ACK arrives (this stale sacked_out might actually be the explanation for the reports of left_out overflows in kernel prior to 2.6.23 and S+L overflow reports of 2.6.24). However, this alone won't be enough to fix kernel before 2.6.24 because it is building on top of the commit 1b6d427bb7e ([TCP]: Reduce sacked_out with reno when purging write_queue) to keep the sacked_out from overflowing.

2008-04-07virtio: remove overzealous BUG_ON.Rusty Russell
The 'disable_cb' callback is designed as an optimization to tell the host we don't need callbacks now. As it is not reliable, the debug check is overzealous: it can happen on two CPUs at the same time. Document this. Even if it were reliable, the virtio_net driver doesn't disable callbacks on transmit so the START_USE/END_USE debugging reentrance protection can be easily tripped even on UP. Thanks to Balaji Rao for the bug report and testing.

2008-04-07x86: fix 64-bit asm NOPS for CONFIG_GENERIC_CPUSuresh Siddha
ASM_NOP's for 64-bit kernel with CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU is broken with the recent x86 nops merge. They were using GENERIC_NOPS which will truncate the upper 32bits of %rsi, because of the missing 64bit rex prefix. For now, fall back ASM NOPS for generic cpu to K8 NOPS, similar to the code before the wrong x86 nop merge. This should resolve the crash seen by Ingo on a test-system: BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at 00000000d80d8ee8 IP: [<ffffffff802121af>] save_i387_ia32+0x61/0xd8 PGD b8e0067 PUD 51490067 PMD 0 Oops: 0000 [1] SMP CPU 2 Modules linked in: Pid: 3871, comm: distcc Not tainted 2.6.25-rc7-sched-devel.git-x86-latest.git #359 RIP: 0010:[<ffffffff802121af>] [<ffffffff802121af>] save_i387_ia32+0x61/0xd8 RSP: 0000:ffff81003abd3cb8 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: ffff810082e93400 RBX: 00000000ffc37f84 RCX: ffff8100d80d8ee0 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00000000d80d8ee0 RDI: ffff810082e93400 RBP: 00000000ffc37fdc R08: 00000000ffc37f88 R09: 0000000000000008 R10: ffff81003abd2000 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff810082e93400 R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: 0000000000000000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff81011fb12dc0(0063) knlGS:00000000f7f1a6c0 CS: 0010 DS: 002b ES: 002b CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00000000d80d8ee8 CR3: 0000000076922000 CR4: 00000000000006e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process distcc (pid: 3871, threadinfo ffff81003abd2000, task ffff8100d80d8ee0) Stack: ffff8100bb670380 ffffffff8026de50 0000000000000118 0000000000000002 0000000000000002 ffff81003abd3e68 ffff81003abd3ed8 ffff81003abd3de8 ffff81003abd3d18 ffffffff80229785 ffff8100d80d8ee0 ffff810001041280 Call Trace: [<ffffffff8026de50>] ? __generic_file_aio_write_nolock+0x343/0x377 [<ffffffff80229785>] ? update_curr+0x54/0x64 [<ffffffff80227cd3>] ? ia32_setup_sigcontext+0x125/0x1d2 [<ffffffff8022839f>] ? ia32_setup_frame+0x73/0x1a5 [<ffffffff8020b2a5>] ? do_notify_resume+0x1aa/0x7db [<ffffffff8024ae8c>] ? getnstimeofday+0x31/0x85 [<ffffffff80249858>] ? ktime_get_ts+0x17/0x48 [<ffffffff80249933>] ? ktime_get+0xc/0x41 [<ffffffff8024973e>] ? hrtimer_nanosleep+0x75/0xd5 [<ffffffff80249261>] ? hrtimer_wakeup+0x0/0x21 [<ffffffff8020bfbc>] ? int_signal+0x12/0x17 [<ffffffff8030e6b3>] ? dummy_file_free_security+0x0/0x1 Code: a6 08 05 00 00 f6 40 14 01 74 34 4c 89 e7 48 0f ae 07 48 8b 86 08 05 00 00 80 78 02 00 79 02 db e2 90 8d b4 26 00 00 00 00 89 f6 <48> 8b 46 08 83 60 14 fe 0f 20 c0 48 83 c8 08 0f 22 c0 eb 07 c6 Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
