      USB: Disable hub-initiated LPM for comms devices. · e1f12eb6
      Sarah Sharp 提交于
      Hub-initiated LPM is not good for USB communications devices.  Comms
      devices should be able to tell when their link can go into a lower power
      state, because they know when an incoming transmission is finished.
      Ideally, these devices would slam their links into a lower power state,
      using the device-initiated LPM, after finishing the last packet of their
      data transfer.
      
      If we enable the idle timeouts for the parent hubs to enable
      hub-initiated LPM, we will get a lot of useless LPM packets on the bus
      as the devices reject LPM transitions when they're in the middle of
      receiving data.  Worse, some devices might blindly accept the
      hub-initiated LPM and power down their radios while they're in the
      middle of receiving a transmission.
      
      The Intel Windows folks are disabling hub-initiated LPM for all USB
      communications devices under a xHCI USB 3.0 host.  In order to keep
      the Linux behavior as close as possible to Windows, we need to do the
      same in Linux.
      
      Set the disable_hub_initiated_lpm flag for for all USB communications
      drivers.  I know there aren't currently any USB 3.0 devices that
      implement these class specifications, but we should be ready if they do.

      This converts the drivers in drivers/net/* to use the
      module_usb_driver() macro which makes the code smaller and a bit
      simpler.

      ethtool: cosmetic: Use ethtool ethtool_cmd_speed API · 70739497
      David Decotigny 提交于
      This updates the network drivers so that they don't access the
      ethtool_cmd::speed field directly, but use ethtool_cmd_speed()
      instead.
      
      For most of the drivers, these changes are purely cosmetic and don't
      fix any problem, such as for those 1GbE/10GbE drivers that indirectly
      call their own ethtool get_settings()/mii_ethtool_gset(). The changes
      are meant to enforce code consistency and provide robustness with
      future larger throughputs, at the expense of a few CPU cycles for each
      ethtool operation.
      
      All drivers compiled with make allyesconfig ion x86_64 have been
      updated.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers · 7d12e780
      David Howells 提交于
      Maintain a per-CPU global "struct pt_regs *" variable which can be used instead
      of passing regs around manually through all ~1800 interrupt handlers in the
      Linux kernel.
      
      The regs pointer is used in few places, but it potentially costs both stack
      space and code to pass it around.  On the FRV arch, removing the regs parameter
      from all the genirq function results in a 20% speed up of the IRQ exit path
      (ie: from leaving timer_interrupt() to leaving do_IRQ()).
      
      Where appropriate, an arch may override the generic storage facility and do
      something different with the variable.  On FRV, for instance, the address is
      maintained in GR28 at all times inside the kernel as part of general exception
      handling.
      
      Having looked over the code, it appears that the parameter may be handed down
      through up to twenty or so layers of functions.  Consider a USB character
      device attached to a USB hub, attached to a USB controller that posts its
      interrupts through a cascaded auxiliary interrupt controller.  A character
      device driver may want to pass regs to the sysrq handler through the input
      layer which adds another few layers of parameter passing.
      
      I've build this code with allyesconfig for x86_64 and i386.  I've runtested the
      main part of the code on FRV and i386, though I can't test most of the drivers.
      I've also done partial conversion for powerpc and MIPS - these at least compile
      with minimal configurations.
      
      This will affect all archs.  Mostly the changes should be relatively easy.
      Take do_IRQ(), store the regs pointer at the beginning, saving the old one:
      
      	struct pt_regs *old_regs = set_irq_regs(regs);
      
      And put the old one back at the end:
      
      	set_irq_regs(old_regs);
      
      Don't pass regs through to generic_handle_irq() or __do_IRQ().
      
      In timer_interrupt(), this sort of change will be necessary:
      
      	-	update_process_times(user_mode(regs));
      	-	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING, regs);
      	+	update_process_times(user_mode(get_irq_regs()));
      	+	profile_tick(CPU_PROFILING);
      
      I'd like to move update_process_times()'s use of get_irq_regs() into itself,
      except that i386, alone of the archs, uses something other than user_mode().
      
      Some notes on the interrupt handling in the drivers:
      
       (*) input_dev() is now gone entirely.  The regs pointer is no longer stored in
           the input_dev struct.
      
       (*) finish_unlinks() in drivers/usb/host/ohci-q.c needs checking.  It does
           something different depending on whether it's been supplied with a regs
           pointer or not.
      
       (*) Various IRQ handler function pointers have been moved to type
           irq_handler_t.

      [PATCH] USB: URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag removed from the kernel · b375a049
      Alan Stern 提交于
      29 July 2005, Cambridge, MA:
      
      This afternoon Alan Stern submitted a patch to remove the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK
      flag from the Linux kernel.  Mr. Stern explained, "This flag is a relic
      from an earlier, less-well-designed system.  For over a year it hasn't
      been used for anything other than printing warning messages."
      
      An anonymous spokesman for the Linux kernel development community
      commented, "This is exactly the sort of thing we see happening all the
      time.  As the kernel evolves, support for old techniques and old code can
      be jettisoned and replaced by newer, better approaches.  Proprietary
      operating systems do not have the freedom or flexibility to change so
      quickly."
      
      Mr. Stern, a staff member at Harvard University's Rowland Institute who
      works on Linux only as a hobby, noted that the patch (labelled as548) did
      not update two files, keyspan.c and option.c, in the USB drivers' "serial"
      subdirectory.  "Those files need more extensive changes," he remarked.
      "They examine the status field of several URBs at times when they're not
      supposed to.  That will need to be fixed before the URB_ASYNC_UNLINK flag
      is removed."
      
      Greg Kroah-Hartman, the kernel maintainer responsible for overseeing all
      of Linux's USB drivers, did not respond to our inquiries or return our
      calls.  His only comment was "Applied, thanks."
