Fix the "ignoring return value of '...', declared with attribute warn_unused_result" compiler warning in several users of the new kfifo API. It removes the __must_check attribute from kfifo_in() and kfifo_in_locked() which must not necessary performed. Fix the allocation bug in the nozomi driver file, by moving out the kfifo_alloc from the interrupt handler into the probe function. Fix the kfifo_out() and kfifo_out_locked() users to handle a unexpected end of fifo.

rename kfifo_put... into kfifo_in... to prevent miss use of old non in kernel-tree drivers ditto for kfifo_get... -> kfifo_out... Improve the prototypes of kfifo_in and kfifo_out to make the kerneldoc annotations more readable.

Move the pointer to the spinlock out of struct kfifo. Most users in tree do not actually use a spinlock, so the few exceptions now have to call kfifo_{get,put}_locked, which takes an extra argument to a spinlock.

This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation. The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it. FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory resources. I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use: - The API is to simple, important functions are missing - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not - There is no support for data records inside a fifo So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up the API to much. The new API has the following benefits: - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver. - Provide an API for the most use case. - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions. - Linux style habit. - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo. - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator. - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo, which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary. - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if one is required. - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported: - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size field of 1 bytes. - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size field of 2 bytes. - Fixed size records, which no record size field. - Preserve memory resource. - Performance! - Easy to use! This patch: Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object, reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

Current iw_cxgb3 code adds PBL memory to the driver's gen_pool in 2 MB chunks. This limits the largest single allocation that can be done to the same size, which means that with 4 KB pages, each of which takes 8 bytes of PBL memory, the largest memory region that can be allocated is 1 GB (256K PBL entries * 4 KB/entry). Remove this limit by adding all the PBL memory in a single gen_pool chunk, if possible. Add code that falls back to smaller chunks if gen_pool_add() fails, which can happen if there is not sufficient contiguous lowmem for the internal gen_pool bitmap.
