由 Sriharsha Basavapatna 提交于
Eachtime the ndo_set_rx_mode() routine is called, the driver programs the multicast list in the adapter without checking if there are any changes to the list. This leads to a flood of RX_FILTER cmds when a number of vlan interfaces are configured over the device, as the ndo_ gets called for each vlan interface. To avoid this, we now use __dev_mc_sync() and __dev_uc_sync() API, but only to detect if there is a change in the mc/uc lists. Now that we use this API, the code has to be-designed to issue these API calls for each invocation of the be_set_rx_mode() call.

The driver currently removes a new vid from the adapter->vids[] array if be_vid_config() returns an error, which occurs when there is an error in HW/FW. This is wrong. After the HW/FW error is recovered from, we need the complete vids[] array to re-program the vlan list. Signed-off-by: NSathya Perla <sathya.perla@broadcom.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.

The Lancer FW has a bug due to which in some cases vlan-promisc setting is cleared eventhough the vlan-list programming did not succeed (via VLAN_CONFIG) cmd. The driver has no way of knowing if the vlan-promisc mode was cleared or not when this cmd fails. To work around this issue, this patch first explicitly clears the vlan-promisc mode via RX_FILTER cmd and then tries to program the vlan list.

The PFCC register is used to configure both PAUSE and PFC frames. Therefore, when PFC frames are disabled we must make sure we don't mistakenly also disable PAUSE frames (which might be enabled).

This patch fixes a data structure corruption bug in the SRIOV VF mailbox handler code. While handling mailbox commands from the atomic context, driver is accessing and updating qlcnic_async_work_list_struct entry fields in the async work list. These fields could be concurrently accessed by the work function resulting in data corruption. This patch restructures async mbx command handling by using a separate async command list instead of using a list of work_struct structures. A single work_struct is used to schedule and handle the async commands with proper locking mechanism.

Commit e93762bb ("w1: masters: omap_hdq: add support for 1-wire mode") added a statement to clear the hdq_irqstatus flags in hdq_read_byte(). If the hdq reading process is scheduled slowly or interrupts are disabled for a while the hardware read activity might already be finished on entry of hdq_read_byte(). And hdq_isr() already has set the hdq_irqstatus to 0x6 (can be seen in debug mode) denoting that both, the TXCOMPLETE and RXCOMPLETE interrupts occurred in parallel. This means there is no need to wait and the hdq_read_byte() can just read the byte from the hdq controller. By resetting hdq_irqstatus to 0 the read process is forced to be always waiting again (because the if statement always succeeds) but the hardware will not issue another RXCOMPLETE interrupt. This results in a false timeout. After such a situation the hdq bus hangs. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/b724765f87ad276a69625bc19806c8c8844c4590.1469513669.git.hns@goldelico.comSigned-off-by: NH.

Add channelized messaging driver to support native RapidIO messaging exchange between multiple senders/recipients on devices that use kernel RapidIO subsystem services. This device driver is the result of collaboration within the RapidIO.org Software Task Group (STG) between Texas Instruments, Prodrive Technologies, Nokia Networks, BAE and IDT. Additional input was received from other members of RapidIO.org. The objective was to create a character mode driver interface which exposes messaging capabilities of RapidIO endpoint devices (mports) directly to applications, in a manner that allows the numerous and varied RapidIO implementations to interoperate. This char mode device driver allows user-space applications to setup messaging communication channels using single shared RapidIO messaging mailbox. By default this driver uses RapidIO MBOX_1 (MBOX_0 is reserved for use by RIONET Ethernet emulation driver).

由 Stephen Boyd 提交于
Some systems are memory constrained but they need to load very large firmwares. The firmware subsystem allows drivers to request this firmware be loaded from the filesystem, but this requires that the entire firmware be loaded into kernel memory first before it's provided to the driver. This can lead to a situation where we map the firmware twice, once to load the firmware into kernel memory and once to copy the firmware into the final resting place. This creates needless memory pressure and delays loading because we have to copy from kernel memory to somewhere else. Let's add a request_firmware_into_buf() API that allows drivers to request firmware be loaded directly into a pre-allocated buffer. This skips the intermediate step of allocating a buffer in kernel memory to hold the firmware image while it's read from the filesystem. It also requires that drivers know how much memory they'll require before requesting the firmware and negates any benefits of firmware caching because the firmware layer doesn't manage the buffer lifetime. For a 16MB buffer, about half the time is spent performing a memcpy from the buffer to the final resting place. I see loading times go from 0.081171 seconds to 0.047696 seconds after applying this patch. Plus the vmalloc pressure is reduced. This is based on a patch from Vikram Mulukutla on codeaurora.org: https://www.codeaurora.org/cgit/quic/la/kernel/msm-3.18/commit/drivers/base/firmware_class.c?h=rel/msm-3.18&id=0a328c5f6cd999f5c591f172216835636f39bcb5 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20160607164741.31849-4-stephen.boyd@linaro.orgSigned-off-by: NStephen Boyd <stephen.boyd@linaro.org> Cc: Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Cc: Vikram Mulukutla <markivx@codeaurora.org> Cc: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Cc: Ming Lei <ming.lei@canonical.com> Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Some low memory systems with complex peripherals cannot afford to have the relatively large firmware images taking up valuable memory during suspend and resume. Change the internal implementation of firmware_class to disallow caching based on a configurable option. In the near future, variants of request_firmware will take advantage of this feature.

Some systems are memory constrained but they need to load very large firmwares. The firmware subsystem allows drivers to request this firmware be loaded from the filesystem, but this requires that the entire firmware be loaded into kernel memory first before it's provided to the driver. This can lead to a situation where we map the firmware twice, once to load the firmware into kernel memory and once to copy the firmware into the final resting place. This design creates needless memory pressure and delays loading because we have to copy from kernel memory to somewhere else. This patch sets adds support to the request firmware API to load the firmware directly into a pre-allocated buffer, skipping the intermediate copying step and alleviating memory pressure during firmware loading. The drawback is that we can't use the firmware caching feature because the memory for the firmware cache is not managed by the firmware layer. This patch (of 3): We use similar structured code to read and write the kmapped firmware pages. The only difference is read copies from the kmap region and write copies to it. Consolidate this into one function to reduce duplication.

kernel.h header doesn't directly use dynamic debug, instead we can include it in module.c (which used it via kernel.h). printk.h only uses it if CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is on, changing the inclusion to only happen in that case.

There was only one use of __initdata_refok and __exit_refok __init_refok was used 46 times against 82 for __ref. Those definitions are obsolete since commit 312b1485 ("Introduce new section reference annotations tags: __ref, __refdata, __refconst") This patch removes the following compatibility definitions and replaces them treewide. /* compatibility defines */ #define __init_refok __ref #define __initdata_refok __refdata #define __exit_refok __ref I can also provide separate patches if necessary. (One patch per tree and check in 1 month or 2 to remove old definitions) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1466796271-3043-1-git-send-email-fabf@skynet.beSigned-off-by: NFabian Frederick <fabf@skynet.be> Cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com> Cc: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
