  • f281233d3   SCSI host lock push-down ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • 242f9dcb8   block: unify request timeout handling ... Browse Code »

    Right now SCSI and others do their own command timeout handling.
    Move those bits to the block layer.

    Instead of having a timer per command, we try to be a bit more clever
    and simply have one per-queue. This avoids the overhead of having to
    tear down and setup a timer for each command, so it will result in a lot
    less timer fiddling.

  • 8c8fdc591   [SCSI] ips: Update version information ... Browse Code »

    This patch just makes the version number in ips.c and ips.h consistent. It
    seems that this has been forgotten in a60768e2d43eb30a1adb8a119aeac35dc0d03ef6.

    It also removes code duplication, each number is now only once in the code to
    avoid similar errors in the future.

    We were releasing the IRQ before removing the host, so commands could

    Just remove the host before releasing the IRQ to close this race.

  • 44c10138f   PCI: Change all drivers to use pci_device->revision ... Browse Code »
    86

    Instead of all drivers reading pci config space to get the revision
    ID, they can now use the pci_device->revision member.

    This exposes some issues where drivers where reading a word or a dword
    for the revision number, and adding useless error-handling around the
    read. Some drivers even just read it for no purpose of all.

    In devices where the revision ID is being copied over and used in what
    appears to be the equivalent of hotpath, I have left the copy code
    and the cached copy as not to influence the driver's performance.

    Compile tested with make all{yes,mod}config on x86_64 and i386.

  • 7d12e780e   IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers ... Browse Code »

    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.
