  • 78b4b05db   [SCSI] BusLogic: make FlashPoint support x86-32 only ... Browse Code »

    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)

  • d3f46f39b   [SCSI] remove use_sg_chaining ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • 1079a2d25   [SCSI] BusLogic: stop using check_region ... Browse Code »

    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.

  • 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.

  • 745caf71d   [SCSI] Pass proper device from BusLogic to SCSI layer ... Browse Code »

    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).

    scsi_cmnd->serial_number_at_timeout doesn't serve any purpose
    anymore. All serial_number == serial_number_at_timeout tests
    are always true in abort callbacks. Kill the field. Also, as
    ->pid always equals ->serial_number and ->serial_number
    doesn't have any special meaning anymore, update comments
    above ->serial_number accordingly. Once we remove all uses of
    this field from all lldd's, this field should go.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
