The async_tx api provides methods for describing a chain of asynchronous bulk memory transfers/transforms with support for inter-transactional dependencies. It is implemented as a dmaengine client that smooths over the details of different hardware offload engine implementations. Code that is written to the api can optimize for asynchronous operation and the api will fit the chain of operations to the available offload resources. I imagine that any piece of ADMA hardware would register with the 'async_*' subsystem, and a call to async_X would be routed as appropriate, or be run in-line. - Neil Brown async_tx exploits the capabilities of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor to provide an api of the following general format: struct dma_async_tx_descriptor * async_<operation>(..., struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *depend_tx, dma_async_tx_callback cb_fn, void *cb_param) { struct dma_chan *chan = async_tx_find_channel(depend_tx, <operation>); struct dma_device *device = chan ? chan->device : NULL; int int_en = cb_fn ? 1 : 0; struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx = device ? device->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_en) : NULL; if (tx) { /* run <operation> asynchronously */ ... tx->tx_set_dest(addr, tx, index); ... tx->tx_set_src(addr, tx, index); ... async_tx_submit(chan, tx, flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param); } else { /* run <operation> synchronously */ ... <operation> ... async_tx_sync_epilog(flags, depend_tx, cb_fn, cb_param); } return tx; } async_tx_find_channel() returns a capable channel from its pool. The channel pool is organized as a per-cpu array of channel pointers. The async_tx_rebalance() routine is tasked with managing these arrays. In the uniprocessor case async_tx_rebalance() tries to spread responsibility evenly over channels of similar capabilities. For example if there are two copy+xor channels, one will handle copy operations and the other will handle xor. In the SMP case async_tx_rebalance() attempts to spread the operations evenly over the cpus, e.g. cpu0 gets copy channel0 and xor channel0 while cpu1 gets copy channel 1 and xor channel 1. When a dependency is specified async_tx_find_channel defaults to keeping the operation on the same channel. A xor->copy->xor chain will stay on one channel if it supports both operation types, otherwise the transaction will transition between a copy and a xor resource. Currently the raid5 implementation in the MD raid456 driver has been converted to the async_tx api. A driver for the offload engines on the Intel Xscale series of I/O processors, iop-adma, is provided in a later commit. With the iop-adma driver and async_tx, raid456 is able to offload copy, xor, and xor-zero-sum operations to hardware engines. On iop342 tiobench showed higher throughput for sequential writes (20 - 30% improvement) and sequential reads to a degraded array (40 - 55% improvement). For the other cases performance was roughly equal, +/- a few percentage points. On a x86-smp platform the performance of the async_tx implementation (in synchronous mode) was also +/- a few percentage points of the original implementation. According to 'top' on iop342 CPU utilization drops from ~50% to ~15% during a 'resync' while the speed according to /proc/mdstat doubles from ~25 MB/s to ~50 MB/s. The tiobench command line used for testing was: tiobench --size 2048 --block 4096 --block 131072 --dir /mnt/raid --numruns 5 * iop342 had 1GB of memory available Details: * if CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=n the asynchronous path is compiled away by making async_tx_find_channel a static inline routine that always returns NULL * when a callback is specified for a given transaction an interrupt will fire at operation completion time and the callback will occur in a tasklet. if the the channel does not support interrupts then a live polling wait will be performed * the api is written as a dmaengine client that requests all available channels * In support of dependencies the api implicitly schedules channel-switch interrupts. The interrupt triggers the cleanup tasklet which causes pending operations to be scheduled on the next channel * Xor engines treat an xor destination address differently than a software xor routine. To the software routine the destination address is an implied source, whereas engines treat it as a write-only destination. This patch modifies the xor_blocks routine to take a an explicit destination address to mirror the hardware. Changelog: * fixed a leftover debug print * don't allow callbacks in async_interrupt_cond * fixed xor_block changes * fixed usage of ASYNC_TX_XOR_DROP_DEST * drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech * printk warning fixups from Andrew Morton * don't use inline in C files, Adrian Bunk * select the API when MD is enabled * BUG_ON xor source counts <= 1 * implicitly handle hardware concerns like channel switching and interrupts, Neil Brown * remove the per operation type list, and distribute operation capabilities evenly amongst the available channels * simplify async_tx_find_channel to optimize the fast path * introduce the channel_table_initialized flag to prevent early calls to the api * reorganize the code to mimic crypto * include mm.h as not all archs include it in dma-mapping.h * make the Kconfig options non-user visible, Adrian Bunk * move async_tx under crypto since it is meant as 'core' functionality, and the two may share algorithms in the future * move large inline functions into c files * checkpatch.pl fixes * gpl v2 only correction Cc: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: NDan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-By: NNeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>

The async_tx api tries to use a dma engine for an operation, but will fall back to an optimized software routine otherwise. Xor support is implemented using the raid5 xor routines. For organizational purposes this routine is moved to a common area.

The current implementation assumes that a channel will only be used by one client at a time. In order to enable channel sharing the dmaengine core is changed to a model where clients subscribe to channel-available-events. Instead of tracking how many channels a client wants and how many it has received the core just broadcasts the available channels and lets the clients optionally take a reference. The core learns about the clients' needs at dma_event_callback time. In support of multiple operation types, clients can specify a capability mask to only be notified of channels that satisfy a certain set of capabilities. Changelog: * removed DMA_TX_ARRAY_INIT, no longer needed * dma_client_chan_free -> dma_chan_release: switch to global reference counting only at device unregistration time, before it was also happening at client unregistration time * clients now return dma_state_client to dmaengine (ack, dup, nak) * checkpatch.pl fixes * fixup merge with git-ioat Cc: Chris Leech <christopher.leech@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NShannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NDan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-by: NDavid S.

The current dmaengine interface defines mutliple routines per operation, i.e. dma_async_memcpy_buf_to_buf, dma_async_memcpy_buf_to_page etc. Adding more operation types (xor, crc, etc) to this model would result in an unmanageable number of method permutations. Are we really going to add a set of hooks for each DMA engine whizbang feature? - Jeff Garzik The descriptor creation process is refactored using the new common dma_async_tx_descriptor structure. Instead of per driver do_<operation>_<dest>_to_<src> methods, drivers integrate dma_async_tx_descriptor into their private software descriptor and then define a 'prep' routine per operation. The prep routine allocates a descriptor and ensures that the tx_set_src, tx_set_dest, tx_submit routines are valid. Descriptor creation and submission becomes: struct dma_device *dev; struct dma_chan *chan; struct dma_async_tx_descriptor *tx; tx = dev->device_prep_dma_<operation>(chan, len, int_flag) tx->tx_set_src(dma_addr_t, tx, index /* for multi-source ops */) tx->tx_set_dest(dma_addr_t, tx, index) tx->tx_submit(tx) In addition to the refactoring, dma_async_tx_descriptor also lays the groundwork for definining cross-channel-operation dependencies, and a callback facility for asynchronous notification of operation completion. Changelog: * drop dma mapping methods, suggested by Chris Leech * fix ioat_dma_dependency_added, also caught by Andrew Morton * fix dma_sync_wait, change from Andrew Morton * uninline large functions, change from Andrew Morton * add tx->callback = NULL to dmaengine calls to interoperate with async_tx calls * hookup ioat_tx_submit * convert channel capabilities to a 'cpumask_t like' bitmap * removed DMA_TX_ARRAY_INIT, no longer needed * checkpatch.pl fixes * make set_src, set_dest, and tx_submit descriptor specific methods * fixup git-ioat merge * move group_list and phys to dma_async_tx_descriptor Cc: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org> Cc: Chris Leech <christopher.leech@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NShannon Nelson <shannon.nelson@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NDan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-by: NDavid S.

Commit 1c710c89 added the utimensat() system call, but didn't handle the case of checking for the writability of the target right, when the target was a file descriptor, not a filename. We cannot use vfs_permission(MAY_WRITE) for that case, and need to simply check whether the file descriptor is writable. The oops from using the wrong function was noticed and narrowed down by Markus Trippelsdorf.

PIO4 is a maximum PIO mode supported by a driver. Using "255" as a max_mode argument to ide_get_best_pio_mode() could result in wrong timings being used by a driver (for "pio" equal to 5) or OOPS (for "pio" values > 5 && < 255).

The SiS966 has one additional PCI-ID 1180. If the chipset is using this PCI-ID, the primary channel is connected to the first PATA-port. The secondary channel is connected to SATA-ports in IDE emulation mode. The legacy IO-ports are used. The including of the PCI-ID into pata_sis is not sufficient, because the legacy driver in drivers/ide is initialized before pata_sis.

The commit 635cf99a introduced a regression. Executing a ptrace single step after certain int80 accesses will infinitely loop and never advance the PC. The TIF_SINGLESTEP check should be done on the return from the syscall and not before it. I loops on each single step on the pop right after the int80 which writes out to the console.

elf_core_dump() supports dumping arch specific ELF notes, via the #define ELF_CORE_WRITE_EXTRA_NOTES. Currently the only user of this is the powerpc spu coredump code. There is a bug in the handling of foffset WRT the arch notes, which causes us to erroneously increment foffset by the size of the arch notes, leaving a block of zeroes in the file, and causing all subsequent data in the file to be at <supposed position> + <arch note size>. eg: LOAD 0x050000 0x00100000 0x00000000 0x20000 0x20000 R E 0x10000 Tells us we should have a chunk of data at 0x50000. The truth is the data is at 0x90dbc = 0x50000 + 0x40dbc (the size of the arch notes). This bug prevents gdb from reading the core file correctly. The simplest fix is to simply remember the size of the arch notes, and add it to foffset after we've written the arch notes. The only drawback is that if the arch code doesn't write as many bytes as it said it would, we end up with a broken core dump again. For now I think that's a reasonable requirement. Tested on a Cell blade, gdb no longer complains about the core file being bogus. While I'm here I should point out that the spu coredump code does not work if we're dumping to a pipe - we'll have to wait for 23 to fix that.

The idle loop goes to sleep using the WAIT instruction if !need_resched(). This has is suffering from from a race condition that if if just after need_resched has returned 0 an interrupt might set TIF_NEED_RESCHED but we've just completed the test so go to sleep anyway. This would be trivial to fix by just disabling interrupts during that sequence as in: local_irq_disable(); if (!need_resched()) __asm__("wait"); local_irq_enable(); but the processor architecture leaves it undefined if a processor calling WAIT with interrupts disabled will ever restart its pipeline and indeed some processors have made use of the freedom provided by the architecture definition. This has been resolved and the Config7.WII bit indicates that the use of WAIT is safe on 24K, 24KE and 34K cores. It also is safe on 74K starting revision 2.1.0 so enable the use of WAIT with interrupts disabled for 74K based on a c0_prid of at least that. Signed-off-by: NRalf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

Older processors used to encode processor version and revision in two 4-bit bitfields, the 4K seems to simply count up and even newer MTI cores have switched to use the 8-bits as 3:3:2 bitfield with the last field as the patch number. Signed-off-by: NRalf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

The RM7000 processors and the E9000 cores have a bug (though PMC-Sierra opposes it being called that) where invalid instructions in the same I-cache line worth of instructions being fetched may case spurious exceptions. The workaround for this was only enabled for E9000 cores; enable it also for all RM7000-based platforms. Signed-off-by: NRalf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>
