      [PATCH] cpufreq: make the transition_notifier chain use SRCU · b4dfdbb3
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as762) changes the cpufreq_transition_notifier_list from a
      blocking_notifier_head to an srcu_notifier_head.  This will prevent errors
      caused attempting to call down_read() to access the notifier chain at a
      time when interrupts must remain disabled, during system suspend.
      
      It's not clear to me whether this is really necessary; perhaps the chain
      could be made into an atomic_notifier.  However a couple of the callout
      routines do use blocking operations, so this approach seems safer.
      
      The head of the notifier chain needs to be initialized before use; this is
      done by an __init routine at core_initcall time.  If this turns out not to
      be a good choice, it can easily be changed.

      [PATCH] SRCU: report out-of-memory errors · e6a92013
      Alan Stern authored
      Currently the init_srcu_struct() routine has no way to report out-of-memory
      errors.  This patch (as761) makes it return -ENOMEM when the per-cpu data
      allocation fails.
      
      The patch also makes srcu_init_notifier_head() report a BUG if a notifier
      head can't be initialized.  Perhaps it should return -ENOMEM instead, but
      in the most likely cases where this might occur I don't think any recovery
      is possible.  Notifier chains generally are not created dynamically.

      [PATCH] Add SRCU-based notifier chains · eabc0694
      Alan Stern authored
      This patch (as751) adds a new type of notifier chain, based on the SRCU
      (Sleepable Read-Copy Update) primitives recently added to the kernel.  An
      SRCU notifier chain is much like a blocking notifier chain, in that it must
      be called in process context and its callout routines are allowed to sleep.
       The difference is that the chain's links are protected by the SRCU
      mechanism rather than by an rw-semaphore, so calling the chain has
      extremely low overhead: no memory barriers and no cache-line bouncing.  On
      the other hand, unregistering from the chain is expensive and the chain
      head requires special runtime initialization (plus cleanup if it is to be
      deallocated).
      
      SRCU notifiers are appropriate for notifiers that will be called very
      frequently and for which unregistration occurs very seldom.  The proposed
      "task notifier" scheme qualifies, as may some of the network notifiers.

      [PATCH] srcu-3: RCU variant permitting read-side blocking · 621934ee
      Paul E. McKenney authored
      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...

      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.

      [PATCH] msi: refactor and move the msi irq_chip into the arch code · 3b7d1921
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      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

      [PATCH] msi: only use a single irq_chip for msi interrupts · 277bc33b
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      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.

      [PATCH] msi: simplify msi sanity checks by adding with generic irq code · 1f80025e
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      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.

      [PATCH] Initial generic hypertransport interrupt support · 8b955b0d
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      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 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

      [PATCH] genirq: msi: make the msi code irq based and not vector based · 1ce03373
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      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.

      [PATCH] genirq: irq: add a dynamic irq creation API · 3a16d713
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      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.

      [PATCH] genirq: msi: simplify the msi irq limit policy · 92db6d10
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      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.

      [PATCH] genirq: msi: refactor the msi_ops · 38bc0361
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      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.

      [PATCH] genirq: irq: add moved_masked_irq · e7b946e9
      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.

      [PATCH] genirq: irq: convert the move_irq flag from a 32bit word to a single bit · a24ceab4
      Eric W. Biederman authored
      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.

      [PATCH] genirq: convert the i386 architecture to irq-chips · f5b9ed7a
      Ingo Molnar authored
      This patch converts all the i386 PIC controllers (except VisWS and Voyager,
      which I could not test - but which should still work as old-style IRQ layers)
      to the new and simpler irq-chip interrupt handling layer.

      [PATCH] ecryptfs: fs/Makefile and fs/Kconfig · 237fead6
      Michael Halcrow authored
      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.
