Updated patch adding a variant of RCU that permits sleeping in read-side critical sections. SRCU is as follows: o Each use of SRCU creates its own srcu_struct, and each srcu_struct has its own set of grace periods. This is critical, as it prevents one subsystem with a blocking reader from holding up SRCU grace periods for other subsystems. o The SRCU primitives (srcu_read_lock(), srcu_read_unlock(), and synchronize_srcu()) all take a pointer to a srcu_struct. o The SRCU primitives must be called from process context. o srcu_read_lock() returns an int that must be passed to the matching srcu_read_unlock(). Realtime RCU avoids the need for this by storing the state in the task struct, but SRCU needs to allow a given code path to pass through multiple SRCU domains -- storing state in the task struct would therefore require either arbitrary space in the task struct or arbitrary limits on SRCU nesting. So I kicked the state-storage problem up to the caller. Of course, it is not permitted to call synchronize_srcu() while in an SRCU read-side critical section. o There is no call_srcu(). It would not be hard to implement one, but it seems like too easy a way to OOM the system. (Hey, we have enough trouble with call_rcu(), which does -not- permit readers to sleep!!!) So, if you want it, please tell me why... [josht@us.ibm.com: sparse notation] Signed-off-by:

This moves the declarations for the architecture helpers into include/linux/htirq.h from the generic include/linux/pci.h. Hopefully this will make this distinction clearer. htirq.h is included where it is needed. The dependency on the msi code is fixed and removed. The Makefile is tidied up. Signed-off-by:

It turns out msi_ops was simply not enough to abstract the architecture specific details of msi. So I have moved the resposibility of constructing the struct irq_chip to the architectures, and have two architecture specific functions arch_setup_msi_irq, and arch_teardown_msi_irq. For simple architectures those functions can do all of the work. For architectures with platform dependencies they can call into the appropriate platform code. With this msi.c is finally free of assuming you have an apic, and this actually takes less code. The helpers for the architecture specific code are declared in the linux/msi.h to keep them separate from the msi functions used by drivers in linux/pci.h Signed-off-by:

The logic works like this. Since we no longer track the state logic by hand in msi.c startup and shutdown are no longer needed. By updating msi_set_mask_bit to work on msi devices that do not implement a mask bit we can always call the mask/unmask functions. What we really have are mask and unmask so we use them to implement the .mask and .unmask functions instead of .enable and .disable. By switching to the handle_edge_irq handler we only need an ack function that moves the irq if necessary. Which removes the old end and ack functions and their peculiar logic of sometimes disabling an irq. This removes the reliance on pre genirq irq handling methods. Signed-off-by:

Currently msi.c is doing sanity checks that make certain before an irq is destroyed it has no more users. By adding irq_has_action I can perform the test is a generic way, instead of relying on a msi specific data structure. By performing the core check in dynamic_irq_cleanup I ensure every user of dynamic irqs has a test present and we don't free resources that are in use. In msi.c this allows me to kill the attrib.state member of msi_desc and all of the assciated code to maintain it. To keep from freeing data structures when irq cleanup code is called to soon changing dyanamic_irq_cleanup is insufficient because there are msi specific data structures that are also not safe to free.

This patch implements two functions ht_create_irq and ht_destroy_irq for use by drivers. Several other functions are implemented as helpers for arch specific irq_chip handlers. The driver for the card I tested this on isn't yet ready to be merged. However this code is and hypertransport irqs are in use in a few other places in the kernel. Not that any of this will get merged before 2.6.19 Because the ipath-ht400 is slightly out of spec this code will need to be generalized to work there. I think all of the powerpc uses are for a plain interrupt controller in a chipset so support for native hypertransport devices is a little less interesting. However I think this is a half way decent model on how to separate arch specific and generic helper code, and I think this is a functional model of how to get the architecture dependencies out of the msi code.

This refactors the irq handling code to make the vectors a per cpu resource so the same vector number can be simultaneously used on multiple cpus for different irqs.

This patch adds support for systems that cannot receive every interrupt on a single cpu simultaneously, in the check to see if we have enough HARDIRQ_BITS. MAX_HARDIRQS_PER_CPU becomes the count of the maximum number of hardare generated interrupts per cpu. On architectures that support per cpu interrupt delivery this can be a significant space savings and scalability bonus.

Because of the nasty way that CONFIG_PCI_MSI was implemented we wound up with set_irq_info and set_native_irq_info, with move_irq and move_native_irq. Both functions did the same thing but they were built and called under different circumstances. Now that the msi hacks are gone we can kill move_irq and set_irq_info. Signed-off-by:

This patch removes the change in behavior of the irq allocation code when CONFIG_PCI_MSI is defined. Removing all instances of the assumption that irq == vector. create_irq is rewritten to first allocate a free irq and then to assign that irq a vector. assign_irq_vector is made static and the AUTO_ASSIGN case which allocates an vector not bound to an irq is removed. The ioapic vector methods are removed, and everything now works with irqs. The definition of NR_IRQS no longer depends on CONFIG_PCI_MSI [akpm@osdl.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by:

This removes the hardcoded assumption that irq == vector in the msi composition code, and it allows the msi message composition to setup logical mode, or lowest priorirty delivery mode as we do for other apic interrupts, and with the same selection criteria. Basically this moves the problem of what is in the msi message into the architecture irq management code where it belongs. Not in a generic layer that doesn't have enough information to compose msi messages properly. Signed-off-by:

The msi currently allocates irqs backwards. First it allocates a platform dependent routing value for an interrupt the ``vector'' and then it figures out from the vector which irq you are on. For ia64 this is fine. For x86 and x86_64 this is complete nonsense and makes an enourmous mess of the irq handling code and prevents some pretty significant cleanups in the code for handling large numbers of irqs. This patch refactors msi.c to work in terms of irqs and create_irq/destroy_irq for dynamically managing irqs. Hopefully this is finally a version of msi.c that is useful on more than just x86 derivatives. Signed-off-by:

The current implementation of create_irq() is a hack but it is the current hack that msi.c uses, and unfortunately the ``generic'' apic msi ops depend on this hack. Thus we are this hack of assuming irq == vector until the depencencies in the generic irq code are removed. Signed-off-by:

With the msi support comes a new concept in irq handling, irqs that are created dynamically at run time. Currently the msi code allocates irqs backwards. First it allocates a platform dependent routing value for an interrupt the ``vector'' and then it figures out from the vector which irq you are on. This msi backwards allocator suffers from two basic problems. The allocator suffers because it is trying to do something that is architecture specific in a generic way making it brittle, inflexible, and tied to tightly to the architecture implementation. The alloctor also suffers from it's very backwards nature as it has tied things together that should have no dependencies. To solve the basic dynamic irq allocation problem two new architecture specific functions are added: create_irq and destroy_irq. create_irq takes no input and returns an unused irq number, that won't be reused until it is returned to the free poll with destroy_irq. The irq then can be used for any purpose although the only initial consumer is the msi code. destroy_irq takes an irq number allocated with create_irq and returns it to the free pool. Making this functionality per architecture increases the simplicity of the irq allocation code and increases it's flexibility. dynamic_irq_init() and dynamic_irq_cleanup() are added to automate the irq_desc initializtion that should happen for dynamic irqs.

Currently we attempt to predict how many irqs we will be able to allocate with msi using pci_vector_resources and some complicated accounting, and then we only allow each device as many irqs as we think are available on average. Only the s2io driver even takes advantage of this feature all other drivers have a fixed number of irqs they need and bail if they can't get them. pci_vector_resources is inaccurate if anyone ever frees an irq. The whole implmentation is racy. The current irq limit policy does not appear to make sense with current drivers. So I have simplified things. We can revisit this we we need a more sophisticated policy. Signed-off-by:

The current msi_ops are short sighted in a number of ways, this patch attempts to fix the glaring deficiences. - Report in msi_ops if a 64bit address is needed in the msi message, so we can fail 32bit only msi structures. - Send and receive a full struct msi_msg in both setup and target. This is a little cleaner and allows for architectures that need to modify the data to retarget the msi interrupt to a different cpu. - In target pass in the full cpu mask instead of just the first cpu in case we can make use of the full cpu mask. - Operate in terms of irqs and not vectors, currently there is still a 1-1 relationship but on architectures other than ia64 I expect this will change.

In support of this I also add a struct msi_msg that captures the the two address and one data field ina typical msi message, and I remember the pos and if the address is 64bit in struct msi_desc. This makes the code a little more readable and easier to maintain, and paves the way to further simplfications. Signed-off-by:

The problem. Because the disable routines leave the msi interrupts in all sorts of half enabled states the enable routines become impossible to implement correctly, and almost impossible to understand. Simplifing this allows me to simply kill the buggy reroute_msix_table, and generally makes the code more maintainable. Signed-off-by:

In the latest changes the code for migrating x86_64 irqs was dropped. This reads it in a fashion that will work even if we change the vector on level triggered irqs when we migrate them. [akpm@osdl.org: build fix] Signed-off-by:
-
Eric W. Biederman authored
Currently move_native_irq disables and renables the irq we are migrating to ensure we don't take that irq when we are actually doing the migration operation. Disabling the irq needs to happen but sometimes doing the work is move_native_irq is too late. On x86 with ioapics the irq move sequences needs to be: edge_triggered: mask irq. move irq. unmask irq. ack irq. level_triggered: mask irq. ack irq. move irq. unmask irq. We can easily perform the edge triggered sequence, with the current defintion of move_native_irq. However the level triggered case does not map well. For that I have added move_masked_irq, to allow me to disable the irqs around both the ack and the move. Q: Why have we not seen this problem earlier? A: The only symptom I have been able to reproduce is that if we change the vector before acknowleding an irq the wrong irq is acknowledged. Since we currently are not reprogramming the irq vector during migration no problems show up. We have to mask the irq before we acknowledge the irq or else we could hit a window where an irq is asserted just before we acknowledge it. Edge triggered irqs do not have this problem because acknowledgements do not propogate in the same way. Signed-off-by:

The primary aim of this patchset is to remove maintenances problems caused by the irq infrastructure. The two big issues I address are an artificially small cap on the number of irqs, and that MSI assumes vector == irq. My primary focus is on x86_64 but I have touched other architectures where necessary to keep them from breaking. - To increase the number of irqs I modify the code to look at the (cpu, vector) pair instead of just looking at the vector. With a large number of irqs available systems with a large irq count no longer need to compress their irq numbers to fit. Removing a lot of brittle special cases. For acpi guys the result is that irq == gsi. - Addressing the fact that MSI assumes irq == vector takes a few more patches. But suffice it to say when I am done none of the generic irq code even knows what a vector is. In quick testing on a large Unisys x86_64 machine we stumbled over at least one driver that assumed that NR_IRQS could always fit into an 8 bit number. This driver is clearly buggy today. But this has become a class of bugs that it is now much easier to hit. This patch: This is a minor space optimization. In practice I don't think this has any affect because of our alignment constraints and the other fields but there is not point in chewing up an uncessary word and since we already read the flag field this should improve the cache hit ratio of the irq handler.

eCryptfs is a stacked cryptographic filesystem for Linux. It is derived from Erez Zadok's Cryptfs, implemented through the FiST framework for generating stacked filesystems. eCryptfs extends Cryptfs to provide advanced key management and policy features. eCryptfs stores cryptographic metadata in the header of each file written, so that encrypted files can be copied between hosts; the file will be decryptable with the proper key, and there is no need to keep track of any additional information aside from what is already in the encrypted file itself.
