2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo1-0/+1
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-08-24drivers/net: fixed drivers that support netpoll use ndo_start_xmit()Dongdong Deng1-2/+3
The NETPOLL API requires that interrupts remain disabled in netpoll_send_skb(). The use of "A functions set" in the NETPOLL API callbacks causes the interrupts to get enabled and can lead to kernel instability. The solution is to use "B functions set" to prevent the irqs from getting enabled while in netpoll_send_skb(). A functions set: local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable() spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() spin_trylock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() B functions set: local_irq_save()/local_irq_restore() spin_lock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore() spin_trylock_irqsave()/spin_unlock_irqrestore() Signed-off-by: Dongdong Deng <dongdong.deng@windriver.com> Acked-by: Matt Mackall <mpm@selenic.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

2007-10-11[NET]: Make NAPI polling independent of struct net_device objects.Stephen Hemminger2-14/+27
Several devices have multiple independant RX queues per net device, and some have a single interrupt doorbell for several queues. In either case, it's easier to support layouts like that if the structure representing the poll is independant from the net device itself. The signature of the ->poll() call back goes from: int foo_poll(struct net_device *dev, int *budget) to int foo_poll(struct napi_struct *napi, int budget) The caller is returned the number of RX packets processed (or the number of "NAPI credits" consumed if you want to get abstract). The callee no longer messes around bumping dev->quota, *budget, etc. because that is all handled in the caller upon return. The napi_struct is to be embedded in the device driver private data structures. Furthermore, it is the driver's responsibility to disable all NAPI instances in it's ->stop() device close handler. Since the napi_struct is privatized into the driver's private data structures, only the driver knows how to get at all of the napi_struct instances it may have per-device.

2007-07-06potential compiler error, irqfunc caller sites updateYoann Padioleau1-1/+1
In 7d12e780e003f93433d49ce78cfedf4b4c52adc5 David Howells performed this evolution: "IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers" He correctly updated many of the function definitions that were using this extra regs pointer parameter but forgot to update some caller sites of those functions. The reason the modifications was not properly done on all drivers is that some drivers were rarely compiled because they are for AMIGA, or that some code sites were inside #ifdefs where the option is not set or inside #if 0.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells1-1/+1
Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the Linux kernel. The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack space and code to pass it around. On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()). Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do something different with the variable. On FRV, for instance, the address is maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception handling. Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down through up to twenty or so layers of functions. Consider a USB character device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller. A character device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing. I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386. I've runtested the main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers. I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile with minimal configurations. This will affect all archs. Mostly the changes should be relatively easy. Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one: struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs); And put the old one back at the end: set_irq_regs(old_regs); Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ(). In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary: - update_process_times(user_mode(regs)); - profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs); + update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs())); + profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING); I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself, except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode(). Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers: (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely. The regs pointer is no longer stored in the input_dev struct. (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking. It does something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs pointer or not. (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type irq_handler_t.

2005-11-18[PATCH] intel ixp2000 network driverLennert Buytenhek16-0/+2459
The way the hardware and firmware work is that there is one shared RX queue and IRQ for a number of different network interfaces. Due to this, we would like to process received packets for every interface in the same NAPI poll handler, so we need a pseudo-device to schedule polling on. What the driver currently does is that it always schedules polling for the first network interface in the list, and processes packets for every interface in the poll handler for that first interface -- however, this scheme breaks down if the first network interface happens to not be up, since netif_rx_schedule_prep() checks netif_running(). sky2 apparently has the same issue, and Stephen Hemminger suggested a way to work around this: create a variant of netif_rx_schedule_prep() that does not check netif_running(). I implemented this locally and called it netif_rx_schedule_prep_notup(), and it seems to work well, but it's something that probably not everyone would be happy with. The ixp2000 is an ARM CPU with a high-speed network interface in the CPU itself (full duplex 4Gb/s or 10Gb/s depending on the IXP model.) The CPU package also contains 8 or 16 (again depending on the IXP model) 'microengines', which are somewhat primitive but very fast and efficient processor cores which can be used to offload various things from the main CPU. This driver makes the high-speed network interface in the CPU visible and usable as a regular linux network device. Currently, it only supports the Radisys ENP2611 IXP board, but adding support for other board types should be fairly easy.
