* driver synchronization: make scsi_wait_scan more advancedArjan van de Ven2009-04-211-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers were loaded before the module load are present. Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take into account at all that probing might not have begun yet. (Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him) This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml): The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

* PERCPU: Collect the DECLARE/DEFINE declarations togetherDavid Howells2009-04-213-44/+86
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Collect the DECLARE/DEFINE declarations together in linux/percpu-defs.h so that they're in one place, and give them descriptive comments, particularly the SHARED_ALIGNED variant. It would be nice to collect these in linux/percpu.h, but that's not possible without sorting out the severe #include recursion between the x86 arch headers and the general headers (and possibly other arches too).

* FRV: Fix the section attribute on UP DECLARE_PER_CPU()David Howells2009-04-212-26/+41
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU() does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between where the base register points and the per-CPU variable. On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws up the following errors: kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task': kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to be matched by variants on DECLARE.

* spi: documentation: emphasise spi_master.setup() semanticsDavid Brownell2009-04-211-1/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a doc-only patch which I hope will reduce the number of spi_master controller driver patches starting out with a common implementation bug. (As in: almost every spi_master driver I see starts out with its version of this bug. Sigh.) It just re-emphasizes that the setup() method may be called for one device while a transfer is active on another ... which means that most driver implementations shouldn't touch any registers.

Unfortunately, this turns out to break ARM platforms that need to talk via I2C to power control devices during the .prepare() callback. For this reason introduce two new platform suspend callbacks, .prepare_late() and .wake(), that will be called just prior to disabling non-boot CPUs and right after bringing them back on line, respectively, and use them instead of .prepare() and .finish() for ACPI suspend. Make the PM core execute the .prepare() and .finish() platform suspend callbacks where they were executed previously (that is, right after calling the regular suspend methods provided by device drivers and right before executing their regular resume methods, respectively). It is not necessary to make analogous changes to the hibernation code and data structures at the moment, because they are only used by ACPI platforms. Signed-off-by: Rafael J.

Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses, interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms. For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This because the setup order during boot. Timers are needed before the platform driver core code is available. The same goes for early printk support. Early in this case means before initcalls. These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or they receive it using some special configuration method. This is working quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same driver. A single way would be better. The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the probe is decided by the architecture code. See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.

If the device endpoint state has been reset (with a clear halt) but the host endpoint state has not then subsequent data transfers will not complete.

The problem stems from a misguided attempt to provide a work-around for jiffies-counter failure. This work-around uses a per-CPU n_rcu_pending counter, which is incremented on each call to rcu_pending(), which in turn is called from each scheduling-clock interrupt. Each CPU then treats this counter as a surrogate for the jiffies counter, so that if the jiffies counter fails to advance, the per-CPU n_rcu_pending counter will cause RCU to invoke force_quiescent_state(), which in turn will (among other things) send resched IPIs to CPUs that have thus far failed to pass through an RCU quiescent state. Unfortunately, each CPU resets only its own counter after sending a batch of IPIs. This means that the other CPUs will also (needlessly) send -another- round of IPIs, for a full N-squared set of IPIs in the worst case every three scheduler-clock ticks until the grace period finally ends. It is not reasonable for a given CPU to reset each and every n_rcu_pending for all the other CPUs, so this patch instead simply disables the jiffies-counter "training wheels", thus eliminating the excessive IPIs. Note that the jiffies-counter IPIs do not have this problem due to the fact that the jiffies counter is global, so that the CPU sending the IPIs can easily reset things, thus preventing the other CPUs from sending redundant IPIs. Note also that the n_rcu_pending counter remains, as it will continue to be used for tracing. It may also see use to update the jiffies counter, should an appropriate kick-the-jiffies-counter API appear.

This adds a new call named block_write_full_page_endio so the buffer head end_io handler can be provided by the caller. This will be used by the ext3 data=guarded mode to do i_size updates in a workqueue based end_io handler. end_buffer_async_write is also exported so it can be called to do the dirty work of managing page writeback for the higher level end_io handler.

For such PHY configurations using shared PHY interrupt phy_interrupt() handler will also schedule a work for PHY port which didn't cause an interrupt. This patch adds a possibility for PHY drivers to provide did_interrupt() function which reports if the PHY (or a PHY port in a multi-PHY device) generated an interrupt. This function is called in phy_change() as phy_change() shouldn't proceed if it is invoked for a PHY which didn't cause an interrupt. So check for interrupt originator in phy_change() to allow early-out. Signed-off-by: Anatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Also replace the inode_double_lock() call with a pipe_double_lock() helper to avoid spreading the use of this functionality beyond the pipe code.
