Add ndo_gso_check which a device can define to indicate whether is is capable of doing GSO on a packet. This funciton would be called from the stack to determine whether software GSO is needed to be done. A driver should populate this function if it advertises GSO types for which there are combinations that it wouldn't be able to handle. For instance a device that performs UDP tunneling might only implement support for transparent Ethernet bridging type of inner packets or might have limitations on lengths of inner headers.

The driver library functions can be used directly by the compound devices such as ADSP or serial driver where DesignWare DMA IP is privately attached to the main hardware. Instead of creating a new platform device leaf they may call dw_dma_probe() with given struct dw_dma_chip directly and make sure that the main device is DMA capable.

virtio spec 0.9.X requires DRIVER_OK to be set before VQs are used, but some drivers use VQs before probe function returns. Since DRIVER_OK is set after probe, this violates the spec. Even though under virtio 1.0 transitional devices support this behaviour, we want to make it possible for those early callers to become spec compliant and eventually support non-transitional devices. Add API for drivers to call before using VQs. Sets DRIVER_OK internally. Signed-off-by: NMichael S.

Defer config changed notifications that arrive during probe/scan/freeze/restore. This will allow drivers to set DRIVER_OK earlier, without worrying about racing with config change interrupts. This change will also benefit old hypervisors (before 2009) that send interrupts without checking DRIVER_OK: previously, the callback could race with driver-specific initialization. This will also help simplify drivers. Signed-off-by: NMichael S.

Replace duplicated code in all transports with a single wrapper in virtio.c. The only functional change is in virtio_mmio.c: if a buggy device sends us an interrupt before driver is set, we previously returned IRQ_NONE, now we return IRQ_HANDLED. As this must not happen in practice, this does not look like a big deal.

For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent writes. Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug: char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0); system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */ assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */ assert(!soft_dirty(x)); *m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */ assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */ With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set. As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by commit c9d0bf24 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

In some cases we don't want hard lockup detection enabled by default. An example is when running as a guest. Introduce watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(bool) allowing those cases to disable hard lockup detection. This must be executed early by the boot processor from e.g. smp_prepare_boot_cpu, in order to allow kernel command line arguments to override it, as well as to avoid hard lockup detection being enabled before we've had a chance to indicate that it's unwanted. In summary, initial boot: default=enabled smp_prepare_boot_cpu watchdog_enable_hardlockup_detector(false): default=disabled cmdline has 'nmi_watchdog=1': default=enabled The running kernel still has the ability to enable/disable at any time with /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog us usual. However even when the default has been overridden /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog will initially show '1'. To truly turn it on one must disable/enable it, i.e. echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/nmi_watchdog This patch will be immediately useful for KVM with the next patch of this series. Other hypervisor guest types may find it useful as well.

We have a large university system in the UK that is experiencing very long delays modprobing the driver for a specific I/O device. The delay is from 8-10 minutes per device and there are 31 devices in the system. This 4 to 5 hour delay in starting up those I/O devices is very much a burden on the customer. There are two causes for requiring a restart/reload of the drivers. First is periodic preventive maintenance (PM) and the second is if any of the devices experience a fatal error. Both of these trigger this excessively long delay in bringing the system back up to full capability. The problem was tracked down to a very slow IOREMAP operation and the excessively long ioresource lookup to insure that the user is not attempting to ioremap RAM. These patches provide a speed up to that function. The modprobe time appears to be affected quite a bit by previous activity on the ioresource list, which I suspect is due to cache preloading. While the overall improvement is impacted by other overhead of starting the devices, this drastically improves the modprobe time. Also our system is considerably smaller so the percentages gained will not be the same. Best case improvement with the modprobe on our 20 device smallish system was from 'real 5m51.913s' to 'real 0m18.275s'. This patch (of 2): Since the ioremap operation is verifying that the specified address range is NOT RAM, it will search the entire ioresource list if the condition is true. To make matters worse, it does this one 4k page at a time. For a 128M BAR region this is 32 passes to determine the entire region does not contain any RAM addresses. This patch provides another resource lookup function, region_is_ram, that searches for the entire region specified, verifying that it is completely contained within the resource region. If it is found, then it is checked to be RAM or not, within a single pass. The return result reflects if it was found or not (-1), and whether it is RAM (1) or not (0). This allows the caller to fallback to the previous page by page search if it was not found.

In locate_mem_hole functions, a memory hole is located and added as kexec_segment. But from the name of locate_mem_hole, it should only take responsibility of searching a available memory hole to contain data of a specified size. So in this patch add a new field 'mem' into kexec_buf, then take that kexec segment adding code out of locate_mem_hole_top_down and locate_mem_hole_bottom_up. This make clear of the functionality of locate_mem_hole just like it declars to do. And by this locate_mem_hole_callback chould be used later if anyone want to locate a memory hole for other use. Meanwhile Vivek suggested opening code function __kexec_add_segment(), that way we have to retreive ksegment pointer once and it is easy to read. So just do it in this patch and remove __kexec_add_segment() since no one use it anymore. Signed-off-by: NBaoquan He <bhe@redhat.com> Acked-by: NVivek Goyal <vgoyal@redhat.com> Cc: Eric W.

If not (say __compiletime_error() is not defined and thus __compiletime_error_fallback() uses a negative array) we should fix BUILD_BUG() and/or BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG(). This code should be fine by definition, this is the documented purpose of BUILD_BUG().
