mei: expose device state in sysfs

2019-04-25T17:33:34+00:00

Expose mei device state to user-space through sysfs. This gives indication to applications that driver is in transition, usefully mostly to detect link reset state. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: adjust the copyright notice in the files.

2019-03-27T17:07:54+00:00

Use unified version of the copyright notice in the files Update copyright years according the year the files were touched, except this patch and SPDX conversions. Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: convert to SPDX license tags

2019-03-27T17:07:54+00:00

Replace boiler plate licenses texts with the SPDX license identifiers in the mei files header. Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: dma ring: implement rx circular buffer logic

2018-11-26T15:59:48+00:00

Implement circular buffer protocol over receive dma buffer. Add extension to the mei message header that holds length of the buffer on the dma buffer. Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

mei: limit the number of queued writes

2018-03-14T18:33:13+00:00

Limit the number of queued writes per client. Writes above this threshold are blocked till place in the transmit queue is available. The limit is configurable via sysfs and defaults to 50. The implementation should provide blocking I/O behavior. Prior to this change one would end up in the hands of OOM.

mei: speed up the power down flow

2017-12-13T13:10:47+00:00

When mei driver is powering down due to suspend or shutdown it will iterate over the mei client bus and disconnect each client device attached in turn. The power down flow consist of the link rest, which causes all clients get disconnected at once, hence the individual disconnection can be omitted and significantly reduce power down flow.

mei: drop unreachable code in mei_start

2017-06-13T13:46:18+00:00

Device disabled state is caught inside the retry loop, so there is no need to check it once again afterwards. Signed-off-by: Alexander Usyskin Signed-off-by: Tomas Winkler Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

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: fix deadlock on mei reset

2017-03-16T01:47:53+00:00

This patch fixes 'mei: synchronize irq before initiating a reset' The patch had introduced a deadlock between irq thread and mei_reset() as they are both holding the same device lock. ---> device_lock: mei_reset() <---- interrupt thread device_lock ---> synchornize_irq() wait on interrupt thread == (dead lock) The fix is to call synchronize_irq prior to call locked mei_reset 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
