mei: drop amthif internal client

2017-04-08T15:38:25+00:00

AMTHIF has special support in the mei drive, it handles multiplexing multiple user space connection above single me client connection. Since there is no additional addressing information there is a strict requirement on the traffic order on each connection and on the "read after write" order within the connection. This creates a lot of complexity mostly because the other client types do not necessarily fall under the same restriction. After carefully studying the use of the AMTHIF client, we came to conclusion that the multiplexing is not really utilized by any application and we may safely remove that support and significantly simplify the driver.

mei: revamp io list cleanup function.

2017-01-31T10:07:43+00:00

Specify in function names by which object is the io list filtered: cl for a client and fp for file descriptor. In that course a code duplication is resolved by dropping mei_cl_read_cb_flush and mei_clear_list and using mei_io_list_free_fp function.

mei: replace callback structures used as list head by list_head

2017-01-31T10:07:43+00:00

mei_dev structure used struct mei_cl_cb type variables as for holding callbacks list heads. Replace them by the actual struct list_head as there is no other info that is handled. This slims down the mei_dev structure and mostly streamline the code. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: amthif: clean command queue upon disconnection

2017-01-31T10:07:43+00:00

In order to prevent memory leak clean up the amthif command queue upon disconnection. The issue may happen only on error path as the command queue is cleaned upon file descriptor close. And remove the cleanup from mei_cl_flush_queues as this code is never reached for amthif client. Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: abort waiting for notification on unsupported HW

2017-01-31T10:07:43+00:00

On legacy HW, pre Skylake, the notifications are not supported, return -EOPNOTSUPP in mei_cl_notify_get and prevent waiting indefinitely. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: return error on notification request to a disconnected client

2017-01-31T10:07:43+00:00

Request for a notification from a disconnected client will be ignored silently by the FW but the caller should know that the operation hasn't succeeded. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: bus: prevent hardware module unload if device on bus is active

2017-01-31T10:07:43+00:00

The hardware module should not be unloaded if the bus has active devices. Get get_/put_ bus parent module upon client device connection/disconnection, to prevent the hardware managing module to disappear underneath.
