raid6: riscv: replace one load with a move to speed up the caculation

2025-09-16T22:43:27+00:00

Since wp$$==wq$$, it doesn't need to load the same data twice, use move instruction to replace one of the loads to let the program run faster.

These two C files don't reference things defined in simd.h or types.h so remove these redundant #inclusions.

raid6: riscv: Fix NULL pointer dereference caused by a missing clobber

2025-06-12T19:21:48+00:00

When running the raid6 user-space test program on RISC-V QEMU, there's a segmentation fault which seems caused by accessing a NULL pointer, which is the pointer variable p/q in raid6_rvv*_gen/xor_syndrome_real(), p/q should have been equal to dptr[x], but when I use GDB command to see its value, which was 0x10 like below: " Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x0000000000011062 in raid6_rvv2_xor_syndrome_real (disks=, start=0, stop=, bytes=4096, ptrs=) at rvv.c:386 (gdb) p p $1 = (u8 *) 0x10 " The issue was found to be related with: 1) Compile optimization There's no segmentation fault if compiling the raid6test program with the optimization flag -O0. 2) The RISC-V vector command vsetvli If not used t0 as the first parameter in vsetvli, there's no segmentation fault either. This patch selects the 2nd solution to fix the issue. [Palmer: The actual issue here is a missing clobber in the vsetvli code. It's a little tricky: we've already probed for VLENB so we don't need to look at the output register, we just need to have an X register in the instruction as that's the form required to actually set VL. Thus we clobber a register, and without describing that we end up breaking compilers.] Fixes: 6093faaf9593 ("raid6: Add RISC-V SIMD syndrome and recovery calculations") Signed-off-by: Chunyan Zhang Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250610101234.1100660-3-zhangchunyan@iscas.ac.cn Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt

raid6: Add RISC-V SIMD syndrome and recovery calculations
