In the multiple device case we need to re-arm the completion and protect against concurrent self-tests. The printk from the test callback is removed as it can arbitrarily delay completion of the test.

There are dmaengine users that would like to register dma devices at subsys_initcall time to ensure channels are available by device_initcall time.

Resolves: WARNING: at drivers/base/core.c:122 device_release+0x4d/0x52() Device 'dma0chan0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed. The dma_chan_dev object is introduced to gear-match sysfs kobject and dmaengine channel lifetimes. When a channel is removed access to the sysfs entries return -ENODEV until the kobject can be released. The bulk of the change is updates to existing code to handle the extra layer of indirection between a dma_chan and its struct device.

Unregistering services should only happen at "remove" time. This prevents the device from being unregistered while dmaengine clients are still active. Also, the comment on ioat_remove is stale since removal is prevented while a channel may be in use.

Replace the client registration infrastructure with a custom loop to poll for channels. Once dma_request_channel returns NULL stop asking for channels. A userspace side effect of this change if that loading the dmatest module before loading a dma driver will result in no channels being found, previously dmatest would get a callback. To facilitate testing in the built-in case dmatest_init is marked as a late_initcall. Another side effect is that channels under test can not be used for any other purpose.

This interface is primarily for device-to-memory clients which need to search for dma channels with platform-specific characteristics. The prototype is: struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask, dma_filter_fn filter_fn, void *filter_param); When the optional 'filter_fn' parameter is set to NULL dma_request_channel simply returns the first channel that satisfies the capability mask. Otherwise, when the mask parameter is insufficient for specifying the necessary channel, the filter_fn routine can be used to disposition the available channels in the system. The filter_fn routine is called once for each free channel in the system. Upon seeing a suitable channel filter_fn returns DMA_ACK which flags that channel to be the return value from dma_request_channel. A channel allocated via this interface is exclusive to the caller, until dma_release_channel() is called. To ensure that all channels are not consumed by the general-purpose allocator the DMA_PRIVATE capability is provided to exclude a dma_device from general-purpose (memory-to-memory) consideration.

async_tx and net_dma each have open-coded versions of issue_pending_all, so provide a common routine in dmaengine. The implementation needs to walk the global device list, so implement rcu to allow dma_issue_pending_all to run lockless.

Allowing multiple clients to each define their own channel allocation scheme quickly leads to a pathological situation. For memory-to-memory offload all clients can share a central allocator. This simply moves the existing async_tx allocator to dmaengine with minimal fixups: * async_tx.c:get_chan_ref_by_cap --> dmaengine.c:nth_chan * async_tx.c:async_tx_rebalance --> dmaengine.c:dma_channel_rebalance * split out common code from async_tx.c:__async_tx_find_channel --> dma_find_channel Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

Simply, if a client wants any dmaengine channel then prevent all dmaengine modules from being removed. Once the clients are done re-enable module removal. Why?, beyond reducing complication: 1/ Tracking reference counts per-transaction in an efficient manner, as is currently done, requires a complicated scheme to avoid cache-line bouncing effects. 2/ Per-transaction ref-counting gives the false impression that a dma-driver can be gracefully removed ahead of its user (net, md, or dma-slave) 3/ None of the in-tree dma-drivers talk to hot pluggable hardware, but if such an engine were built one day we still would not need to notify clients of remove events. The driver can simply return NULL to a ->prep() request, something that is much easier for a client to handle.

async_tx.ko is a consumer of dma channels. A circular dependency arises if modules in drivers/dma rely on common code in async_tx.ko. It prevents either module from being unloaded.

"Wouldn't it be better if the dmaengine layer made sure it didn't pass the same channel several times to a client? I mean, you seem concerned that the memcpy() API should be transparent and easy to use, but the whole registration interface is just ridiculously complicated..." - Haavard The dmaengine and async_tx registration/allocation interface is indeed needlessly complicated. This redesign has the following goals: 1/ Simplify reference counting: dma channels are not something one would expect to be hotplugged, it should be an exceptional event handled by drivers not something clients should be mandated to handle in a callback. The common case channel removal event is 'rmmod <dma driver>', which for simplicity should be disallowed if the channel is in use. 2/ Add an interface for requesting exclusive access to a channel suitable to device-to-memory users. 3/ Convert all memory-to-memory users over to a common allocator, the goal here is to not have competing channel allocation schemes. The only competition should be between device-to-memory exclusive allocations and the memory-to-memory usage case where channels are shared between multiple "clients".

With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).

The function viafb_cursor() uses 2 stack-variables of CURSOR_SIZE bits; CURSOR_SIZE is defined as (8 * 1024). Using up twice 1k on stack is too much for 4k-stack (though it works with 8k-stacks). Make those two variables kzalloc'ed to preserve stack space. Also merge the whole lot of local struct's in viafb_ioctl into a union so the stack usage gets minimized here as well. (struct's are only accessed in their indicidual IOCTL case) This second part is only compile-tested as I know of no userspace app using the IOCTLs.
