      iwlwifi: pcie: add 9000 series multi queue rx DMA support · 96a6497b
      Sara Sharon authored
      The 9000 series introduces several changes in the device
      DMA operation.
      As the device now supports multi-queue rx, several DMA channels
      should be configured.
      The flows of providing the device with the allocated RBDs now
      changes as well - the device maintains a separate table of used
      and free table.
      
      The hardware may use the free table to feed RBDs to any queue.
      This requires maintaing a shared table to map returned RBDs to
      the original RXB - for that purpose the VID is introduced - an
      internal identifier of the RB placed in the lower 12 bits and
      returned by HW in the used data.
      
      Another change is the support of 64 bit DMA address.

      iwlwifi: pcie: add infrastructure for multi-queue rx · 78485054
      Sara Sharon authored
      The 9000 series devices will support multi rx queues.
      Current code has one static rx queue - change it to allocate
      a number of queues per the device capability (pre-9000 devices
      have the number of rx queues set to one).
      
      Subsequent generalizations are:
      
      Change the code to access an explicit numbered rx queue only
      when the queue number is known - when handling interrupt, when
      accessing the default queue and when iterating the queues.
      The rest of the functions will receive the rx queue as a pointer.
      
      Generalize the warning in allocation failure to consider the
      allocator status instead of a single rx queue status.
      
      Move the rx initial pool of memory buffers to be shared among
      all the queues and allocated to the default queue on init.

      iwlwifi: pcie: buffer packets to avoid overflowing Tx queues · 3955525d
      Emmanuel Grumbach authored
      When the Tx queues are full above a threshold, we
      immediately stop the mac80211's queue to stop getting new
      packets. This worked until TSO was enabled.
      With TSO, one single packet from mac80211 can use many
      descriptors since a large send needs to be split into
      several segments.
      This means that stopping mac80211's queues is not enough
      and we also need to ensure that we don't overflow the Tx
      queues with one single packet from mac80211.
      Add code to transport layer to do just that. Stop
      mac80211's queue as soon as the queue is full above the
      same threshold as before, and keep pushing the current
      packet along with its segments on the queue, but check
      that we don't overflow. If that would happen, buffer the
      segments, and send them when there is room in the Tx queue
      again. Of course, we first need to send the buffered
      segments and only then, wake up mac80211's queues.

       "Here is a list of patches we've accumulated for GFS2 for the current
        upstream merge window.  Last window's set was short, but I warned that
        this one would be bigger, and so it is.  We've got 19 patches:
      
         - A patch from Abhi Das to propagate the GFS2_DIF_SYSTEM bit so that
           newly added journals don't get flagged, deleted, and recreated by
           fsck.gfs2.
      
         - Two patches from Andreas Gruenbacher to improve GFS2 performance
           where extended attributes are involved.
      
         - A patch from Andy Price to fix a suspicious rcu dereference error.
      
         - Two patches from Ben Marzinski that rework how GFS2's NFS cookies
           are managed.  This fixes readdir problems with nfs-over-gfs2.
      
         - A patch from Ben Marzinski that fixes a race in unmounting GFS2.
      
         - A set of four patches from me to move the resource group
           reservations inside the gfs2 inode to improve performance and fix a
           bug whereby get_write_access improperly prevented some operations
           like chown.
      
         - A patch from me to spinlock-protect the setting of system statfs
           file data.  This was causing small discrepancies between df and du.
      
         - A patch from me to reintroduce a timeout while clearing glocks
           which was accidentally dropped some time ago.
      
         - A patch from me to wait for iopen glock dequeues in order to
           improve deleting of files that were unlinked from a different
           cluster node.
      
         - A patch from me to ensure metadata address spaces get truncated
           when an inode is evicted.
      
         - A patch from me to fix a bug in which a memory leak could occur in
           some error cases when inodes were trying to be created.
      
         - A patch to consistently use iopen glocks to transition from the
           unlinked state to the deleted state.
      
         - A patch to fix a glock reference count error when inode creation
           fails.
      
         - A patch from Junxiao Bi to fix an flock panic.

      Pull misc vfs updates from Al Viro:
       "All kinds of stuff.  That probably should've been 5 or 6 separate
        branches, but by the time I'd realized how large and mixed that bag
        had become it had been too close to -final to play with rebasing.
      
        Some fs/namei.c cleanups there, memdup_user_nul() introduction and
        switching open-coded instances, burying long-dead code, whack-a-mole
        of various kinds, several new helpers for ->llseek(), assorted
        cleanups and fixes from various people, etc.
      
        One piece probably deserves special mention - Neil's
        lookup_one_len_unlocked().  Similar to lookup_one_len(), but gets
        called without ->i_mutex and tries to avoid ever taking it.  That, of
        course, means that it's not useful for any directory modifications,
        but things like getting inode attributes in nfds readdirplus are fine
        with that.  I really should've asked for moratorium on lookup-related
        changes this cycle, but since I hadn't done that early enough...  I
        *am* asking for that for the coming cycle, though - I'm going to try
        and get conversion of i_mutex to rwsem with ->lookup() done under lock
        taken shared.
      
        There will be a patch closer to the end of the window, along the lines
        of the one Linus had posted last May - mechanical conversion of
        ->i_mutex accesses to inode_lock()/inode_unlock()/inode_trylock()/
        inode_is_locked()/inode_lock_nested().  To quote Linus back then:
