2009-06-08[SCSI] fcoe: removes fcoe_watchdogVasu Dev2-34/+19
Removes periodic fcoe_watchdog timer used across all fcoe interface maintained in fcoe_hostlist instead added new fcoe_queue_timer per fcoe interface. Added timer is armed only when some pending skb need to be flushed as oppose to periodic 1 second fcoe_watchdog, since now fcoe_queue_timer is used on demand thus set this to 2 jiffies. Now fcoe_queue_timer is much simple than fcoe_watchdog using lock to process all fcoe interface from fcoe_hostlist. I noticed +ve performance result with using 2 jiffies timer as this helps flushing fcoe_pending_queue quickly.

2009-06-08[SCSI] fcoe: reduces lock cost when adding a new skb to fcoe_pending_queueVasu Dev1-22/+15
Currently fcoe_pending_queue.lock held twice for every new skb adding to this queue when already least one pkt is pending in this queue and that is not uncommon once skb pkts starts getting queued here upon fcoe_start_io => dev_queue_xmit failure. This patch moves most fcoe_pending_queue logic to fcoe_check_wait_queue function, this new logic grabs fcoe_pending_queue.lock only once to add a new skb instead twice as used to be. I think after this patch call flow around fcoe_check_wait_queue calling in fcoe_xmit is bit simplified with modified fcoe_check_wait_queue function taking care of adding and removing pending skb in one function.

2009-06-08[SCSI] libfc: Check if exchange is completed when receiving a sequenceSteve Ma1-0/+4
When a sequence is received in response to an exchange we issued previously, we should check to see if the exchange has completed. If yes, the sequence should be discarded.

2009-06-08[SCSI] libfcoe: fip: fix non-FIP-mode FLOGI state after reset.Joe Eykholt1-5/+10
When a reset is sent using fcoeadm on a non-FIP mode NIC, there's no link flap, so the fcoe_ctlr stays in non-FIP mode. In that case, FIP wasn't setting the flogi_oxid or map_dest flag, causing the FLOGI to be sent with the both wrong source MAC and the wrong destination MAC address, causing it to fail. This leads to a non-functioning HBA until a link flap or instance delete/create. Signed-off-by: Joe Eykholt <jeykholt@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com>

2009-06-08[SCSI] ibmvfc: Improve LOGO/PRLO ELS handlingBrian King1-1/+37
There are several scenarios where the ibmvfc driver needs to try to log back into a target on the fabric. Today when these events occur, we simply go through re-discovery for all attached targets, assuming that either the query of the name server or an ADISC will indicate we might need to log back into the target, which doesn't work for all scenarios. Fix this by taking note of the affected target(s) in these conditions and ensuring we try to PLOGI back into the target.

2009-06-08[SCSI] ibmvfc: Add flush on halt supportBrian King2-5/+42
The virtual I/O server controlling the NPIV adapter associated with a virtual fibre channel adapter can send a HALT event to the client. When this occurs, the client can no longer send commands until a RESUME is received. By adding support for flush on halt, we will get all of our outstanding commands flushed back before the Virtual I/O server enters the halt state, eliminating potential command timeouts for outstanding commands which might occur if we did not support this feature.

2009-06-08[SCSI] ibmvfc: Add support for NPIV LogoutBrian King2-4/+105
This patch adds support for a new command supported by the Virtual I/O Server, NPIV Logout. The command will abort all outstanding commands and log out of the fabric. Currently, the only way to do this is by breaking the CRQ, which can take a fairly long time when lots of commands are outstanding. The NPIV Logout commands provides a mechanism to accomplish virtually the same function, but is much faster.

2009-06-08[SCSI] ibmvfc: Reduce error logging noiseBrian King2-26/+48
The ibmvfc driver currently logs errors during discovery for several transient fabric errors, which generally get retried. If retries do not work, we see multiple errors in the log. If retries do work, we see errors in the log which may be confusing since the retry worked. This patch enhances the discovery time error logging to only log errors for command failures during discovery if all allowed retries have been used up. The existing behavior of logging all failures can be restored by setting the hosts log_level to a value of 3 or greater.

2009-06-08Bluetooth: Remove unused and unneeded support in virtual driverMarcel Holtmann1-31/+0
The virtual driver implements fasync and ioctl support, but it is not used and unneeded due to its constraints via the Bluetooth core layer. So too just make the driver simpler, remove support for both of them. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2009-06-08Bluetooth: Remove BKL from open callback of virtual driverMarcel Holtmann1-4/+0
The BKL push down added some BKL into the open callback of the virtual driver. The driver is really simple and need no such locking and so just remove it. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2009-06-08Bluetooth: Use wait_event_interruptible for virtual driverMarcel Holtmann1-28/+15
The virtual driver still uses a home grown way of waiting for events and so just replace it with wait_event_interruptible. And while at it remove the useless access_ok() checks. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2009-06-08Bluetooth: Use only MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR for virtual driverMarcel Holtmann1-8/+4
Allowing to specify a specific misc minor number for the virtual driver is pretty much useless and nobody is using this feature. So just remove it and use MISC_DYNAMIC_MINOR all the time. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>
2009-06-08declance: Restore tx descriptor ring lockingMaciej W. Rozycki1-0/+5
A driver overhaul on 29 Feb 2000 (!) broke locking around fiddling with the tx descriptor ring in start_xmit(); a follow-on "fix" removed the broken remnants altogether. Here's a patch to restore proper locking in the function -- the complement in the interrupt handler has been correct all the time. This *may* have been the reason for the occasional confusion of the chip -- triggering a tx timeout followed by a chip reset sequence -- seen on R4k-based DECstations with the onboard Ethernet interface. Another theory is the confusion is due to an unindentified problem -- perhaps a silicon erratum -- associated with the variation of the MT ASIC used to interface the R4k CPU to the rest of the system on these computers; with its aggressive write-back buffering the design is particularly weakly ordered when it comes to MMIO (in the absence of ordering barriers uncached reads are allowed to bypass earlier uncached writes, even if to the same location), which may trigger all kinds of corner cases in peripheral hardware as well as software. Either way this piece of code is buggy. Signed-off-by: Maciej W. Rozycki <macro@linux-mips.org> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-06-08isdn: prevent NULL ptr Oops in capi_cmsg2str()Tilman Schmidt1-0/+2
The dereferencing of the private pointer cmsg->m in capi_cmsg2str() may cause an Oops in case of an error, which is particularly inconvenient as that function is typically used to format an error message. Add a NULL pointer check to avoid this. Impact: error handling improvement Signed-off-by: Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-06-08isdn: kerneldoc for capiutil.cTilman Schmidt1-3/+62
Add kerneldoc comments for the exported funtions in capiutil.c. Impact: documentation Signed-off-by: Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-06-08isdn: rename capi_ctr_reseted() to capi_ctr_down()Tilman Schmidt6-11/+11
Change the name of the Kernel CAPI exported function capi_ctr_reseted() to something representing its purpose better. Impact: renaming, no functional change Signed-off-by: Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2009-06-08tun: Fix unregister raceEric W. Biederman1-3/+4
It is possible for tun_chr_close to race with dellink on the a tun device. In which case if __tun_get runs before dellink but dellink runs before tun_chr_close calls unregister_netdevice we will attempt to unregister the netdevice after it is already gone. The two cases are already serialized on the rtnl_lock, so I have gone for the cheap simple fix of moving rtnl_lock to cover __tun_get in tun_chr_close. Eliminating the possibility of the tun device being unregistered between __tun_get and unregister_netdevice in tun_chr_close. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2009-06-08e100: Fix napi_enable BUG_ON when recovering from EEH errorAndre Detsch1-5/+6
BUG_ON(!test_bit(NAPI_STATE_SCHED, &n->state)) was being hit during e100 EEH recovery. The problem source was a napi_enable call being made during e100_io_error_detected. Napi should remain disabled after e100_down, and only be reenabled when the interface is recovered. This patch also updates e100_io_error_detected in order to make it similar to the current versions of the error_detected callback in drivers such as e1000e and ixgbe.
