  • …it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

    percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
    included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
    in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
    universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

    percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
    this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
    headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
    needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
    used as the basis of conversion.

    http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

    The script does the followings.

    * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
    only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
    gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

    * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
    blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
    to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
    core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
    alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
    doesn't seem to be any matching order.

    * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
    because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
    an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
    file.

    The conversion was done in the following steps.

    1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
    over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
    and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
    files.

    2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
    some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
    embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
    inclusions to around 150 files.

    3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
    from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

    4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
    e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
    APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

    5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
    editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
    files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
    inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
    wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
    slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
    necessary.

    6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

    7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
    were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
    distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
    more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
    build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

    * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
    * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
    * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
    * s390 SMP allmodconfig
    * alpha SMP allmodconfig
    * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

    8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
    a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

    Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
    6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
    If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
    headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
    the specific arch.

  • commit 2f0d0fd2a605666d38e290c5c0d2907484352dc4 ("ide-acpi: cleanup
    do_drive_get_GTF()") didn't account for the lack of hwif->acpidata
    check in generic_ide_suspend() [ indirect user of do_drive_get_GTF()
    through ide_acpi_exec_tfs() ] resulting in broken resume when ACPI
    support is enabled but ACPI data is unavailable.

    Fix it by adding ide_port_acpi() helper for checking if port needs
    ACPI handling and cleaning generic_ide_{suspend,resume}() to use it
    instead of hiding hwif->acpidata and ide_noacpi checks in IDE ACPI
    helpers (this should help in preventing similar bugs in the future).

    While at it:
    - kill superfluous debugging printks in ide_acpi_{get,push}_timing()

  • In the near future, the driver core is going to not allow direct access
    to the driver_data pointer in struct device. Instead, the functions
    dev_get_drvdata() and dev_set_drvdata() should be used. These functions
    have been around since the beginning, so are backwards compatible with
    all older kernel versions.

  • Impact: cleanup rq->data usage

    ide-pm uses rq->data to carry pointer to struct request_pm_state
    through request queue and rq->special is used to carray pointer to
    local struct ide_cmd, which isn't necessary. Use rq->special for
    request_pm_state instead and use local ide_cmd in
    ide_start_power_step().

  • Replace IDE_TFLAG_{IN|OUT}_* flags meaning to the taskfile register validity on
    input/output by the IDE_VALID_* flags and introduce 4 symmetric 8-bit register
    validity indicator subfields, 'valid.{input/output}.{tf|hob}', into the 'struct
    ide_cmd' instead of using the 'tf_flags' field for that purpose (this field can
    then be turned from 32-bit into 8-bit one).

    Restart the request queue early for REQ_TYPE_PM_RESUME requests
    (though there is only one resume request for the whole resume
    sequence it stays in the queue until is fully completed and now
    depends on kblockd for processing consequential resume states).
