2011-10-30[S390] qdio: prevent dsci access without adapter interruptsJan Glauber1-27/+2
A kernel panic may occur during sending or receiving network packets on a machine without adapter interrupts since commit d36deae. The bug is triggered by writing to the shared indicator address which is set to 0 if the machine doesn't have adapter interrupts. Make the reading and setting of the shared indicator dependent on the adapter interrupt feature and while at it move the code to the file containing the adapter interrupt related code. Thanks to Jan Jaeger for tracking this down.

2011-08-03[S390] qdio: 2nd stage retry on SIGA-W busy conditionsJan Glauber1-0/+2
The SIGA-W may return with the busy bit set which means the device was blocked. The busy loop which retries the SIGA-W for 100us may not be long enough when running under a heavily loaded hypervisor. Extend the retry mechanism by adding a longer second stage which retries the SIGA-W for up to 10s. In difference to the first retry loop the second stage is using mdelay to stop the cpu between the retries and thereby avoid additional preassure in on the hypervisor. If the second stage retry is successfull a device reset is avoided. Signed-off-by: Jan Glauber <jang@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

2011-01-05[S390] qdio: remove enhanced SIGAJan Glauber1-2/+0
HiperSocket devices only use one SBAL per qdio call without the enhanced SIGA feature.

2011-01-05[S390] qdio: outbound tasklet scan thresholdJan Glauber1-0/+2
Introduce a scan treshold for the qdio outbound queues. By setting the threshold the driver can tell qdio after how much used SBALs qdio should schedule the outbound tasklet that scans the queue for finished SBALs. The threshold is specific by the drivers because a Hipersockets device is much faster in utilizing outbound buffers than a ZFCP or OSA device. The default values after how many used SBALs the tasklet should run are: OSA: > 31 SBALs Hipersockets: > 7 SBALs zfcp: > 55 SBALs Signed-off-by: Jan Glauber <jang@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2011-01-05[S390] qdio: prevent race for shared indicatorsJan Glauber1-2/+2
If the shared indicator is used the following race leads to an inbound stall: Device CPU0 CPU1 ======================================================== non-shared DSCI =>1 ALSI => 1 Thin INT ALSI => 0 non-shared DSCI tasklets scheduled shared DSCI => 1 ALSI => 1 shared DSCI => 0 ALSI ? -> set Thin INT ALSI => 0 ALSI was set, shared DSCI => 1 After that no more interrupts occur because the DSCI is still set. Fix that race by only resetting the shared DSCI if it was actually set so the tasklets for all shared devices are scheduled and will run after the interrupt.

2010-09-09qdio: extend API to allow pollingJan Glauber1-0/+29
Extend the qdio API to allow polling in the upper-layer driver. This is needed by qeth to use NAPI. To use the new interface the upper-layer driver must specify the queue_start_poll(). This callback is used to signal the upper-layer driver that is has initiative and must process the inbound queue by calling qdio_get_next_buffers(). If the upper-layer driver wants to stop polling it calls qdio_start_irq(). Since adapter interrupts are not completely stoppable qdio implements a software bit QDIO_QUEUE_IRQS_DISABLED to safely disable interrupts for an input queue. The old interface is preserved and will be used as is by zfcp.

Remove a memset hack that relied on the internal layout of the qdio_irq struct and move the per device statistics data into an own cache line to avoid cache line bashing between the inbound and the outbound queue tasklets. Also reduce the number of allocated queues from 32 to 4 which is the current maximum. That saves a cache line in struct qdio_irq.

2009-03-26[S390] qdio: report SIGA errors directlyJan Glauber1-1/+0
Errors from SIGA instructions are stored in the per queue qdio_error and reported back when the queue handler is called. That opens a race when multiple error conditions occur simultanously. Report SIGA errors immediately in the return value of do_QDIO so the upper layer can react and SIGA errors no longer interfere with other errors.

2009-03-26[S390] qdio: seperate last move index and polling indexJan Glauber1-1/+4

2008-12-25[S390] qdio: fix error reporting for hipersocketsJan Glauber1-7/+1
Hipersocket connections can encounter temporary busy conditions. In case of the busy bit set we retry the SIGA operation immediatelly. If the busy condition still persists after 100 ms we fail and report the error to the upper layer. The second stage retry logic is removed. In case of ongoing busy conditions the upper layer needs to reset the connection. The reporting of a SIGA error is now done synchronously to allow the network driver to requeue the buffers. Also no error trace is created for the temporary SIGA errors so the error message view is not flooded.

2008-10-10[S390] qdio: speed up multicast traffic on full HiperSocket queueUrsula Braun1-0/+8
If an asynchronous HiperSockets queue runs full, no further packet can be sent. In this case the next initiative to give transmitted skbs back to the stack is triggered only by a 10-seconds qdio timer. This timer has been introduced for low multicast traffic scenarios to guarantee freeing of skbs in a limited amount of time. For high HiperSocket multicast traffic scenarios progress checking on the outbound queue should be enforced by tasklet rescheduling.

Current code in qdio_activate waits for at least 5 seconds until it returns. It may return earlier if an error occurs, but not if everything is ok. This large timeout value became visible with commit dfa77f611ff295598e218aa0eb6efa73a5cf26d0 "qdio: set QDIO_ACTIVATE_TIMEOUT to 5s", which intended to fix the timeout value which was zero. In turn setting an FCP adapter online took 5 seconds. In practice waiting for 5ms before continuing is sufficient as pointed out by Utz Bacher and Cornelia Huck.

2006-01-06[PATCH] s390: qdio V=V pass-throughFrank Pavlic1-34/+70
New feature V=V qdio pass-through. QDIO and HiperSockets processing in z/VM V=V guest environments (as well as V=R with z/VM running in LPAR mode) requires shadowing of all QDIO architecture queue elements. Especially the shadowing of SBALs and SLSBs structures in the hypervisor, and the need to issue SIGA SYNC operations to observe state changes, eventually causes significant CPU processing overhead in the hypervisor. The QDIO pass-through support for V=V guests avoids the shadowing of SBALs and SLSBs. This significantly reduces the hypervisor overhead for QDIO based I/O.

2005-06-26[PATCH] s390: debug feature changesMichael Holzheu1-8/+8
This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature. Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before. Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due to memory fragmentation. Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several subbuffers with pagesize. Therefore it is now possible to allocate more memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written. In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is implemented. It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a new debugfs file instance. When writing a number into this file, the trace buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'. In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files in the "proc" filesystem. Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which should be used for debugging purposes. This patch moves the debug feature from procfs to debugfs. Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use the debug feature had to be adjusted.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it.
