* fsldma: split apart external pause and request count featuresIra Snyder2009-09-082-17/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When using the Freescale DMA controller in external control mode, both the request count and external pause bits need to be setup correctly. This was being done with the same function. The 83xx controller lacks the external pause feature, but has a similar feature called external start. This feature requires that the request count bits be setup correctly. Split the function into two parts, to make it possible to use the external start feature on the 83xx controller.

* ioat2,3: cacheline align software descriptor allocationsDan Williams2009-09-083-4/+20
| | | | | | | | | All the necessary fields for handling an ioat2,3 ring entry can fit into one cacheline. Move ->len prior to ->txd in struct ioat_ring_ent, and move allocation of these entries to a hw-cache-aligned kmem cache to reduce the number of cachelines dirtied for descriptor management.

* dmaengine: kill tx_listDan Williams2009-09-082-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The tx_list attribute of struct dma_async_tx_descriptor is common to most, but not all dma driver implementations. None of the upper level code (dmaengine/async_tx) uses it, so allow drivers to implement it locally if they need it. This saves sizeof(struct list_head) bytes for drivers that do not manage descriptors with a linked list (e.g.: ioatdma v2,3). Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

| * net_dma: poll for a descriptor after allocation failureDan Williams2009-09-081-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Handle descriptor allocation failures by polling for a descriptor. The driver will force forward progress when polled. In the best case this polling interval will be the time it takes for one dma memcpy transaction to complete. In the worst case, channel hang, we will need to wait 100ms for the cleanup watchdog to fire (ioatdma driver).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Increment the allocation order of the descriptor ring every time we run out of descriptors up to a maximum of allocation order specified by the module parameter 'ioat_max_alloc_order'. After each idle period decrement the allocation order to a minimum order of 'ioat_ring_alloc_order' (i.e. the default ring size, tunable as a module parameter).

| * ioat: switch watchdog and reset handler from workqueue to timerDan Williams2009-09-086-436/+396
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to support dynamic resizing of the descriptor ring or polling for a descriptor in the presence of a hung channel the reset handler needs to make progress while in a non-preemptible context. The current workqueue implementation precludes polling channel reset completion under spin_lock(). This conversion also allows us to return to opportunistic cleanup in the ioat2 case as the timer implementation guarantees at least one cleanup after every descriptor is submitted. This means the worst case completion latency becomes the timer frequency (for exceptional circumstances), but with the benefit of avoiding busy waiting when the lock is contended.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replace the current linked list munged into a ring with a native ring buffer implementation. The benefit of this approach is reduced overhead as many parameters can be derived from ring position with simple pointer comparisons and descriptor allocation/freeing becomes just a manipulation of head/tail pointers. It requires a contiguous allocation for the software descriptor information. Since this arrangement is significantly different from the ioat1 chain, move ioat2,3 support into its own file and header.

After this conversion ioat2 channels will share less of the ioat1 infrastructure, but there will still be places where sharing is possible. struct ioat_chan_common is created to house the channel attributes that will remain common between ioat1 and ioat2 channels. For every routine that accesses both common and hardware specific fields the old unified 'ioat_chan' pointer is split into an 'ioat' and 'chan' pointer.

For instance, a charger is connected to the system, there's the detection event and the event handler tries to enable charging. It is possible that the periodic charging monitor runs at the same time and it still thinks there's no external charger. So it tries to disable the charging. As the result, even if the conditions necessary to charge the battery hold, there will be no actual charging. The patch changes the event handler so that instead of enabling/ disabling the charger immediately it would rather make the monitor run. The monitor code then decides what should be the charger state.

The patch was made on two wrong assumptions: 1) access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE,...) would actually check write access. On x86 it does _NOT_. It's a pure address range check. 2) a RW mapped region can not go away under us. That's wrong as well. Nobody can prevent another thread to call mprotect(PROT_READ) on that region where the futex resides. If that call hits between the get_user_pages_fast() verification and the actual write access in the atomic region we are toast again. The solution is to not rely on access_ok and get_user() for any write access related fault on private and shared futexes. Instead we need to fault it in with verification of write access. There is no generic non destructive write mechanism which would fault the user page in trough a #PF, but as we already know that we will fault we can as well call get_user_pages() directly and avoid the #PF overhead. If get_user_pages() returns -EFAULT we know that we can not fix it anymore and need to bail out to user space. Remove a bunch of confusing comments on this issue as well.
