2006-10-11[PATCH] b44: fix eeprom endianess issueMichael Buesch1-1/+1
This fixes eeprom read on big-endian architectures. readw returns the data in CPU order. With cpu_to_le16 we convert it to little endian, because "ptr" is a pointer to a _byte_ arrray. See the cast above. A byte array is little endian. The bug is: Reading u16 values with readw, casting them into an u8 array and accessing this u8 array as an u8 (byte) array. The correct fix is to swap the CPU-ordering value returned by readw into little endian, as the u8 array is little endian. This compiles to nothing on little endian hardware (so it does not change b44 code on LE hardware), but _fixes_ code on BE hardware.

2006-10-05IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlersDavid Howells228-538/+477
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.

In bond_alb_monitor the bond->curr_slave_lock write lock is taken and then dev_set_promiscuity maybe called which can take some time, depending on the network HW. If a network IRQ for this card come in the softirq handler maybe try to deliver more packets which end up in a request to the read lock of bond->curr_slave_lock -> deadlock. This issue was found by a test lab during network stress tests, this patch disable the softirq handler for this case and solved the issue.

2006-10-05[PATCH] ibmveth: fix int rollover panicSantiago Leon1-1/+6
This patch fixes a nasty bug that has been sitting there since the very first versions of the driver, but is generating a panic because we changed the number of 2K buffers for 2.6.16. The consumer_index and producer_index are u32's that get incremented on every buffer emptied and replenished respectively. We use the {producer,consumer}_index mod'ed with the size of the pool to pick out an entry in the free_map. The problem happens when the u32 rolls over and the number of the buffers in the pool is not a perfect divisor of 2^32. i.e. if the number of 2K buffers is 0x300, before the consumer_index rolls over, our index to the free map = 0xffffffff mod 0x300 = 0xff. The next time a buffer is emptied, we want the index to the free map to be 0x100, but 0x0 mod 0x300 is 0x0. This patch assigns the mod'ed result back to the consumer and producer indexes so that they never roll over. The second chunk of the patch covers the unlikely case where the consumer_index has just been reset to 0x0 and the hypervisor is not able to accept that buffer.

2006-10-05[PATCH] ibmveth: rename proc entry nameSantiago Leon1-2/+6
This patch changes the name of the proc file for each ibmveth adapter from the network device name to the slot number in the virtual bus. The proc file is created when the device is probed, so a change in the name of the device will not be reflected in the name of the proc file giving problems when identifying and removing the adapter. The slot number is a property that does not change through the life of the adapter so we use that instead.

2006-10-05[PATCH] ibmveth: kdump interrupt fixSantiago Leon1-0/+2
This patch fixes a race that panics the kernel when opening the device after a kdump. Without this patch there is a window where the hypervisor can send an interrupt before all the structures for the kdump ibmveth module are ready (because the hypervisor is not aware that the partition crashed and that the virtual driver is reloading). We close this window by disabling the interrupts before registering the adapter to the hypervisor. This patch depends on the "ibmveth: Harden driver initilisation" patch.

So if the registration fails, we unregister and then try again. We don't unconditionally unregister, because we don't want to disturb the regular code path for 99% of users.

2006-10-01[PATCH] maximum latency tracking infrastructureArjan van de Ven1-0/+10
Add infrastructure to track "maximum allowable latency" for power saving policies. The reason for adding this infrastructure is that power management in the idle loop needs to make a tradeoff between latency and power savings (deeper power save modes have a longer latency to running code again). The code that today makes this tradeoff just does a rather simple algorithm; however this is not good enough: There are devices and use cases where a lower latency is required than that the higher power saving states provide. An example would be audio playback, but another example is the ipw2100 wireless driver that right now has a very direct and ugly acpi hook to disable some higher power states randomly when it gets certain types of error. The proposed solution is to have an interface where drivers can * announce the maximum latency (in microseconds) that they can deal with * modify this latency * give up their constraint and a function where the code that decides on power saving strategy can query the current global desired maximum. This patch has a user of each side: on the consumer side, ACPI is patched to use this, on the producer side the ipw2100 driver is patched. A generic maximum latency is also registered of 2 timer ticks (more and you lose accurate time tracking after all). While the existing users of the patch are x86 specific, the infrastructure is not. I'd like to ask the arch maintainers of other architectures if the infrastructure is generic enough for their use (assuming the architecture has such a tradeoff as concept at all), and the sound/multimedia driver owners to look at the driver facing API to see if this is something they can use.

Without this patch, the MSI test done by the driver during open will pass, but MSI will eventually stop working after a few MSIs are written by the device. AMD believes this incompatibility is unique to the 5706, and prefers to locally disable MSI rather than globally disabling it using pci_msi_quirk. Update version to 1.4.45.

2006-09-29[PATCH] Uninitialized variable in drivers/net/wan/syncppp.cEric Sesterhenn1-1/+1
For len equal to 4, we never call sppp_lcp_conf_parse_options(), therefore rmagic does not get initialized. Signed-off-by: Eric Sesterhenn <snakebyte@gmx.de> Acked-by: Paul Fulghum <paulkf@microgate.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2006-09-29[PATCH] lockdep: core, add enable/disable_irq_irqsave/irqrestore() APIsArjan van de Ven1-3/+3
Introduce the disable_irq_nosync_lockdep_irqsave() and enable_irq_lockdep_irqrestore() APIs. These are needed for NE2000; basically NE2000 calls disable_irq and enable_irq as locking against the IRQ handler, but both in cases where interrupts are on and off. This means that lockdep needs to track the old state of the virtual irq flags on disable_irq, and restore these at enable_irq time.
