The discovery process begins with an optional AoE config query command and
an AoE config query response.  Normally when an aoe device is already
open, the config query response does not trigger an ATA identify device
command to be sent out, since the response contains storage capacity
information that, if changed, could surprise the user of the device.

The userland "aoe-revalidate" tool uses a character device to trigger an
AoE config query for a particular AoE storage target and an ATA device
identify command, even when the device is open.

This change causes the config query to go out first, reflecting the normal
discovery sequence.  The responses could come back in any order, so this
change is fairly cosmetic.

The aoe_deadsecs module parameter allows the user to specify a hard limit
on the number of seconds an AoE command can be retransmitted before the
AoE block device is considered to have failed.

Using aoe_deadsecs to determine the time we try using a different remote
interface helps to ensure that the hard limit is not reached before we've
tried to recover by sending to a different remote port.

As a data storage target, the AoE target is unambiguously identified by
its {major, minor} AoE address tuple, and an AoE target can have multiple
MAC addresses.  However, note that "target" in the driver code and
comments means a {major, minor, MAC address} tuple, as in "somewhere to
send packets".

Users with several network interfaces dedicated to AoE generally do not
configure them to support different-sized AoE data payloads on purpose.

For a given AoE target, there will be a set of local network interfaces
that can reach it.  Using only the payload that will fit in the
smallest-sized MTU of all those local interfaces greatly simplifies the
driver, especially in failure scenarios.

To allow users to choose an elevator algorithm for their particular
workloads, change from a make_request-style driver to an
I/O-request-queue-handler-style driver.

We have to do a couple of things that might be surprising.  We manipulate
the page _count directly on the assumption that we still have no guarantee
that users of the block layer are prohibited from submitting bios
containing pages with zero reference counts.[1] If such a prohibition now
exists, I can get rid of the _count manipulation.

Just as before this patch, we still keep track of the sk_buffs that the
network layer still hasn't finished yet and cap the resources we use with
a "pool" of skbs.[2]

Now that the block layer maintains the disk stats, the aoe driver's
diskstats function can go away.

Make the frames the aoe driver uses to track the relationship between bios
and packets more flexible and detached, so that they can be passed to an
"aoe_ktio" thread for completion of I/O.

The frames are handled much like skbs, with a capped amount of
preallocation so that real-world use cases are likely to run smoothly and
degenerate gracefully even under memory pressure.

Decoupling I/O completion from the receive path and serializing it in a
process makes it easier to think about the correctness of the locking in
the driver, especially in the case of a remote MAC address becoming
unusable.

tAdd adds the ability to work with large packets composed of a number of
segments, using the scatter gather feature of the block layer (biovecs)
and the network layer (skb frag array).  The motivation is the performance
gained by using a packet data payload greater than a page size and by
using the network card's scatter gather feature.

Users of the out-of-tree aoe driver already had these changes, but since
early 2011, they have complained of increased memory utilization and
higher CPU utilization during heavy writes.[1] The commit below appears
related, as it disables scatter gather on non-IP protocols inside the
harmonize_features function, even when the NIC supports sg.

Add discard support to nbd.  If the nbd-server supports discard, it will
send NBD_FLAG_SEND_TRIM to the client.  The client will then set the flag
in the kernel via NBD_SET_FLAGS, which tells the kernel to enable discards
for the device (QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD).

If discard support is enabled, then when the nbd client system receives a
discard request, this will be passed along to the nbd-server.  When the
discard request is received by the nbd-server, it will perform:

Flags are typically specified by the nbd-server.  During the negotiation

The following set of patches provides modifications targeting support of
multiple RapidIO master port (mport) devices on a CPU-side of
RapidIO-capable board.  While the RapidIO subsystem code has definitions
suitable for multi-controller/multi-net support, the existing
implementation cannot be considered ready for multiple mport
configurations.

=========== NOTES: =============

a) The patches below do not address RapidIO side view of multiport
   processing elements defined in Part 6 of RapidIO spec Rev.2.1 (section
   6.4.1).  These devices have Base Device ID CSR (0x60) and Component Tag
   CSR (0x6C) shared by all SRIO ports.  For example, Freescale's P4080,
   P3041 and P5020 have a dual-port SRIO controller implemented according
   the specification.  Enumeration/discovery of such devices from RapidIO
   side may require device-specific fixups.

b) Devices referenced above may also require implementation specific
   code to setup a host device ID for mport device.  These operations are
   not addressed by patches in this package.

=================================

Details about provided patches:

1. Fix blocking wait for discovery ready

   While it does not happen on PowerPC based platforms, there is
   possibility of stalled CPU warning dump on x86 based platforms that run
   RapidIO discovery process if they wait too long for being enumerated.

   Currently users can avoid it by disabling the soft-lockup detector
   using "nosoftlockup" kernel parameter OR by ensuring that enumeration
   is completed before soft-lockup is detected.

   This patch eliminates blocking wait and keeps a scheduler running.
   It also is required for patch 3 below which introduces asynchronous
   discovery process.

2. Use device lists handling on per-net basis

   This patch allows to correctly support multiple RapidIO nets and
   resolves possible issues caused by using single global list of devices
   during RapidIO system enumeration/discovery.  The most common sign of
   existing issue is incorrect contents of switch routing tables in
   systems with multiple mport controllers while single-port configuration
   performs as expected.

   The patch does not eliminate the global RapidIO device list but
   changes some routines in enumeration/discovery to use per-net device
   lists instead.  This way compatibility with upper layer RIO routines is
   preserved.

3.  Run discovery as an asynchronous process

   This patch modifies RapidIO initialization routine to asynchronously
   run the discovery process for each corresponding mport.  This allows
   having an arbitrary order of enumerating and discovering mports without
   creating a deadlock situation if an enumerator port was registered
   after a discovering one.

   On boards with multiple discovering mports it also eliminates order
   dependency between mports and may reduce total time of RapidIO
   subsystem initialization.

   Making netID matching to mportID ensures consistent netID assignment
   in multiport RapidIO systems with asynchronous discovery process
   (global counter implementation is affected by race between threads).

4. Rework RIONET to support multiple RIO master ports

   In the current version of the driver rionet_probe() has comment "XXX
   Make multi-net safe".  Now it is a good time to address this comment.

   This patch makes RIONET driver multi-net safe/capable by introducing
   per-net lists of RapidIO network peers.  It also enables to register
   network adapters for all available mport devices.

5. Add destination ID allocation mechanism

   The patch replaces a single global destination ID counter with
   per-net allocation mechanism to allow independent destID management for
   each available RapidIO network.  Using bitmap based mechanism instead
   of counters allows destination ID release and reuse in systems that
   support hot-swap.

dumps about stalled CPU on x86 platforms.

Apply port RX/TX enable operations only to active switch ports.

RapidIO specification (Part 6: LP-Serial Physical Layer) recommends to
keep Output Port Enable (TX) and Input Port Enable (RX) control bits in
disabled state (0b0) after device reset.  It also allows to have
implementation specific reset state for these bits.

This patch ensures that TX/RX enable action is applied only to active
switch's ports while preserving an initial state of inactive ones.

This patch is intended to keep inactive switch ports with inbound and
outbound packet transfers disabled to block unexpected packets during hot
insertion event.  While it does not fix any visible malfunction it is
intended to prevent such events in future.

This patch replaces the "whitelist" usage in the code and comments and replace
them by exception list related information.

The original model of device_cgroup is having a whitelist where all the
allowed devices are listed. The problem with this approach is that is
impossible to have the case of allowing everything but few devices.

The reason for that lies in the way the whitelist is handled internally:
since there's only a whitelist, the "all devices" entry would have to be
removed and replaced by the entire list of possible devices but the ones
that are being denied.  Since dev_t is 32 bits long, representing the allowed
devices as a bitfield is not memory efficient.

This patch replaces the "whitelist" by a "exceptions" list and the default
policy is kept as "deny_all" variable in dev_cgroup structure.

The current interface determines that whenever "a" is written to devices.allow
or devices.deny, the entry masking all devices will be added or removed,
respectively. This behavior is kept and it's what will determine the default
policy:

	# cat devices.list
	a *:* rwm
	# echo a >devices.deny
	# cat devices.list
	# echo a >devices.allow
	# cat devices.list
	a *:* rwm

The interface is also preserved. For example, if one wants to block only access
to /dev/null:
	# ls -l /dev/null
	crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jul 24 16:17 /dev/null
	# echo a >devices.allow
	# echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.deny
	# cat /dev/null
	cat: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
	# echo >/dev/null
	bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
	mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
	mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
	# echo "c 1:3 r" >devices.allow
	# cat /dev/null
	# echo >/dev/null
	bash: /dev/null: Operation not permitted
	mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
	mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
	# echo "c 1:3 rw" >devices.allow
	# echo >/dev/null
	# cat /dev/null
	# mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
	mknod: `/tmp/null': Operation not permitted
	# echo "c 1:3 rwm" >devices.allow
	# echo >/dev/null
	# cat /dev/null
	# mknod /tmp/null c 1 3
	#

Note that I didn't rename the functions/variables in this patch, but in the
next one to make reviewing easier.

deny_all will determine if the default policy is to deny all device access
unless for the ones in the exception list.

This variable will be used in the next patches to convert device_cgroup
internally into a default policy + rules.

A section with the name "Example" (case-insensitive) has a special meaning
to kernel-doc.  These sections are output using mono-type fonts.  However,
leading whitespace is stripped, thus robbing a lot of meaning from this,
as indented code examples will be mangled.

This patch preserves the leading whitespace for "Example" sections.  More
accurately, it preserves it for all sections, but removes it later if the
section isn't an "Example" section.
