  • Most SCSI drivers want to enable "clustering", that is merging of
    segments so that they might span more than a single page. Remove the
    ENABLE_CLUSTERING define, and require drivers to explicitly set
    DISABLE_CLUSTERING to disable this feature.

  • The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This
    patch replaces cases of:

    kzalloc(a * b, gfp)

    with:
    kcalloc(a * b, gfp)

    as well as handling cases of:

    kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

    with:

    kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

    as it's slightly less ugly than:

    kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

    This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

    kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

    though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

    Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
    dropped, since they're redundant.

    The Coccinelle script used for this was:

  • Drop the now unused reason argument from the ->change_queue_depth method.
    Also add a return value to scsi_adjust_queue_depth, and rename it to
    scsi_change_queue_depth now that it can be used as the default
    ->change_queue_depth implementation.

  • Remove the tagged argument from scsi_adjust_queue_depth, and just let it
    handle the queue depth. For most drivers those two are fairly separate,
    given that most modern drivers don't care about the SCSI "tagged" status
    of a command at all, and many old drivers allow queuing of multiple
    untagged commands in the driver.

    Instead we start out with the ->simple_tags flag set before calling
    ->slave_configure, which is how all drivers actually looking at
    ->simple_tags except for one worke anyway. The one other case looks
    broken, but I've kept the behavior as-is for now.

    Except for that we only change ->simple_tags from the ->change_queue_type,
    and when rejecting a tag message in a single driver, so keeping this
    churn out of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is a clear win.

    Now that the usage of scsi_adjust_queue_depth is more obvious we can
    also remove all the trivial instances in ->slave_alloc or ->slave_configure
    that just set it to the cmd_per_lun default.

  • CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
    markings need to be removed.

    This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
    __devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.

    Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
    in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

  • Move the mid-layer's ->queuecommand() invocation from being locked
    with the host lock to being unlocked to facilitate speeding up the
    critical path for drivers who don't need this lock taken anyway.

    The patch below presents a simple SCSI host lock push-down as an
    equivalent transformation. No locking or other behavior should change
    with this patch. All existing bugs and locking orders are preserved.

    Additionally, add one parameter to queuecommand,
    struct Scsi_Host *
    and remove one parameter from queuecommand,
    void (*done)(struct scsi_cmnd *)

    Scsi_Host* is a convenient pointer that most host drivers need anyway,
    and 'done' is redundant to struct scsi_cmnd->scsi_done.

    Minimal code disturbance was attempted with this change. Most drivers
    needed only two one-line modifications for their host lock push-down.

  • …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.

  • We've verified that there are 64 bit and endianness problems in the
    flashpoint driver. Reverse the logic of CONFIG_OMIT_FLASHPOINT (make
    it CONFIG_SCSI_FLASHPOINT) and make it depend on X86_32 so it can't
    appear for any other architectures. Long term, if someone chooses,
    they could make FlashPoint 64 bit compliant (it looks like its a
    question of fixing up the sizes in some of the packed descriptors)

  • With the sg table code, every SCSI driver is now either chain capable
    or broken (or has sg_tablesize set so chaining is never activated), so
    there's no need to have a check in the host template.

    Also tidy up the code by moving the scatterlist size defines into the
    SCSI includes and permit the last entry of the scatterlist pools not
    to be a power of two.

  • I got so sick of seing the check_region warnings from BusLogic.c I actually
    fixed it properly. Never use check region, reserve it before the probe
    with request region instead and check the error result; free region if
    setup fails. Should be functionally identical to the original except for
    fixing the potential race.

  • 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.

  • - Reworked all the very long lines in that block (this drivers full of
    them though)

    - Returns an error in three places that it didn't before.

    - Properly clean up after a scsi_add_host() failure.

  • While trying to get SUSE's SLES9 working on system with more than 4GB we've
    noticed that SCSI layer happilly passes addresses over 4GB to the buslogic
    driver, which is quite a big problem as buslogic can generate only 32bit
    busmastering cycles.

    Fortunately in the current kernels this problem does not exist anymore as
    SCSI layer now assumes 4GB capable device by default, but it is still good
    idea to pass correct device structure to the SCSI layer. If nothing else,
    /sys/block/sda/device now points to
    /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:10.0/host0/... instead of
    /sys/devices/platform/host0/... like it did in the past.

    Change does nothing for ISA based BusLogic adapters, they'll still end
    under platform (and they are probably broken for long time as I do not see
    anything forcing ISA 16MB limit for them).
