      ataflop: remove buggy/commented-out IRQ disable from do_fd_request() · e0c09786
      Jiri Kosina 提交于
      There is a nice gem in drivers/block/ataflop.c::do_fd_request()
      
            void do_fd_request(struct request_queue * q)
            {
                    unsigned long flags;
      
                    DPRINT(("do_fd_request for pid %d\n",current->pid));
                    while( fdc_busy ) sleep_on( &fdc_wait );
                    fdc_busy = 1;
                    stdma_lock(floppy_irq, NULL);
      
                    atari_disable_irq( IRQ_MFP_FDC );
                    local_save_flags(flags);        /* The request function is called with ints
                    local_irq_disable();             * disabled... so must save the IPL for later */
                    redo_fd_request();
                    local_irq_restore(flags);
                    atari_enable_irq( IRQ_MFP_FDC );
            }
      
      If you look at the code long enough, you will notioce that the
      local_irq_disable() call is actually commented out. This has been
      introduced back in 2002 in [1], but as you can see, the same bug has been
      there even before, with the sti() call being commented out in the very
      same way :)
      
      I am not familiar with the code myself at all, but I guess that the whole
      stuff can just be removed. Why do we need save_flags/restore_flags at all,
      without actually disabling the local IRQs afterwards? The
      redo_fd_request() doesn't seem to do anything that would mess with flags
      inconsistently.
      
      [1] http://lkml.org/lkml/2002/12/27/58
      
      Jens:
      That does look odd. The comment is correct that the function is entered
      with interrupts disabled (and the queue lock held). So I'd say your
      patch looks fine, the whole save/restore business looks meaningless.

      block: implement and enforce request peek/start/fetch · 9934c8c0
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      Till now block layer allowed two separate modes of request execution.
      A request is always acquired from the request queue via
      elv_next_request().  After that, drivers are free to either dequeue it
      or process it without dequeueing.  Dequeue allows elv_next_request()
      to return the next request so that multiple requests can be in flight.
      
      Executing requests without dequeueing has its merits mostly in
      allowing drivers for simpler devices which can't do sg to deal with
      segments only without considering request boundary.  However, the
      benefit this brings is dubious and declining while the cost of the API
      ambiguity is increasing.  Segment based drivers are usually for very
      old or limited devices and as converting to dequeueing model isn't
      difficult, it doesn't justify the API overhead it puts on block layer
      and its more modern users.
      
      Previous patches converted all block low level drivers to dequeueing
      model.  This patch completes the API transition by...
      
      * renaming elv_next_request() to blk_peek_request()
      
      * renaming blkdev_dequeue_request() to blk_start_request()
      
      * adding blk_fetch_request() which is combination of peek and start
      
      * disallowing completion of queued (not started) requests
      
      * applying new API to all LLDs
      
      Renamings are for consistency and to break out of tree code so that
      it's apparent that out of tree drivers need updating.

      ataflop: dequeue and track in-flight request · a336ca6f
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      ataflop has single request in flight.  Till now, whenever it needs to
      access the in-flight request it called elv_next_request().  This patch
      makes ataflop track the in-flight request directly and dequeue it when
      processing starts.  The added complexity is minimal and this will help
      future block layer changes.

      block: replace end_request() with [__]blk_end_request_cur() · f06d9a2b
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      end_request() has been kept around for backward compatibility;
      however, it's about time for it to go away.
      
      * There aren't too many users left.
      
      * Its use of @updtodate is pretty confusing.
      
      * In some cases, newer code ends up using mixture of end_request() and
        [__]blk_end_request[_all](), which is way too confusing.
      
      So, add [__]blk_end_request_cur() and replace end_request() with it.
      Most conversions are straightforward.  Noteworthy ones are...
      
      * paride/pcd: next_request() updated to take 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
      
      * paride/pf: pf_end_request() and next_request() updated to take
        0/-errno instead of 1/0.
      
      * xd: xd_readwrite() updated to return 0/-errno instead of 1/0.
      
      * mtd/mtd_blkdevs: blktrans_discard_request() updated to return
        0/-errno instead of 1/0.  Unnecessary local variable res

      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.
