2008-06-05[SCSI] scsi_dh: add infrastructure for SCSI Device HandlersChandra Seetharaman3-0/+82
Some of the storage devices (that can be accessed through multiple paths), do need some special handling for 1. Activating the passive path of the storage access. 2. Decode and handle the special sense codes returned by the devices. 3. Handle the I/Os being sent to the passive path, especially during the device probe time. when accessed through multiple paths. As of today this special device handling is done at the dm-multipath layer using dm-handlers. That works well for (1); for (2) to be handled at dm layer, scsi sense information need to be exported from SCSI to dm-layer, which is not very attractive; (3) cannot be done at all at the dm layer. Device handler has been moved to SCSI mainly to handle (2) and (3) properly.

2008-06-04sctp: Fix ECN markings for IPv6Vlad Yasevich1-0/+1
Commit e9df2e8fd8fbc95c57dbd1d33dada66c4627b44c ("[IPV6]: Use appropriate sock tclass setting for routing lookup.") also changed the way that ECN capable transports mark this capability in IPv6. As a result, SCTP was not marking ECN capablity because the traffic class was never set. This patch brings back the markings for IPv6 traffic.

2008-06-04libata-sff: Fix oops reported in kerneloops.org for pnp devices with no ctlAlan Cox1-14/+2
- Make ata_sff_altstatus private so nobody uses it by mistake - Drop the 400nS delay from it Add ata_sff_irq_status - encapsulates the IRQ check logic This function keeps the existing behaviour for altstatus using devices. I actually suspect the logic was wrong before the changes but -rc isn't the time to play with that ata_sff_sync - ensure writes hit the device Really we want an io* operation for 'is posted' eg ioisposted(ioaddr) so that we can fix the nasty delay this causes on most systems. - ata_sff_pause - 400nS delay Ensure the command hit the device and delay 400nS - ata_sff_dma_pause Ensure the I/O hit the device and enforce an HDMA1:0 transition delay. Requires altstatus register exists, BUG if not so we don't risk corruption in MWDMA modes. (UDMA the checksum will save your backside in theory) The only other complication then is devices with their own handlers. rb532 can use dma_pause but scc needs to access its own altstatus register for internal errata workarounds so directly call the drivers own altstatus function.

2008-06-03serial_core: uart_set_ldisc infrastructureAlan Cox1-0/+1
The tty layer provides a callback that is used when the line discipline is changed. Some hardware uses this to configure hardware specific features such as IrDA mode on serial ports. Unfortunately the serial layer does not provide this feature or pass it down to drivers. Blackfin used to hack around this by rewriting the tty ops, but those are now properly shared and const so the hack fails. Instead provide the proper operations. This change plus a follow up from the Blackfin guys is needed to avoid blackfin losing features in this release.

2008-06-02sh: fix miscompilation of ip_fast_csum with gcc >= 4.3Paul Mundt1-1/+1
As noted by Matthew Wilcox: Kyle McMartin just tracked down a bug on parisc to a missing "memory" clobber in the inline assembly implementation of ip_fast_csum. The FRV, SH and Xtensa ports are also missing a memory clobber, so I thought it would be polite to let you know. The bug manifests as dropped network packets (obviously they have the wrong checksum). It started appearing for parisc with GCC 4.3. The GCC manual says: If your assembler instructions access memory in an unpredictable fashion, add `memory' to the list of clobbered registers. This will cause GCC to not keep memory values cached in registers across the assembler instruction and not optimize stores or loads to that memory. I see that FRV has a 400 byte memory output which may prevent this problem from appearing, but SH and Xtensa have nothing to prevent this bug. Hope this saves you a few days of debugging.

The SW_RADIO code for EV_SW events has a name that is not descriptive enough of its intended function, and could induce someone to think KEY_RADIO is its EV_KEY counterpart, which is false. Rename it to SW_RFKILL_ALL, and document what this event is for. Keep the old name around, to avoid userspace ABI breaks. The SW_RFKILL_ALL event is meant to be used by rfkill master switches. It is not bound to a particular radio switch type, and usually applies to all types. It is semantically tied to master rfkill switches that enable or disable every radio in a system.

2008-05-30virtio: force callback on empty.Rusty Russell1-0/+4
virtio allows drivers to suppress callbacks (ie. interrupts) for efficiency (no locking, it's just an optimization). There's a similar mechanism for the host to suppress notifications coming from the guest: in that case, we ignore the suppression if the ring is completely full. It turns out that life is simpler if the host similarly ignores callback suppression when the ring is completely empty: the network driver wants to free up old packets in a timely manner, and otherwise has to use a timer to poll. We have to remove the code which ignores interrupts when the driver has disabled them (again, it had no locking and hence was unreliable anyway). Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
