Wireless extensions have the unfortunate problem that events
are multicast netlink messages, and are not independent of
pointer size. Thus, currently 32-bit tasks on 64-bit platforms
cannot properly receive events and fail with all kinds of
strange problems, for instance wpa_supplicant never notices
disassociations, due to the way the 64-bit event looks (to a
32-bit process), the fact that the address is all zeroes is
lost, it thinks instead it is 00:00:00:00:01:00.
The same problem existed with the ioctls, until David Miller
fixed those some time ago in an heroic effort.
A different problem caused by this is that we cannot send the
ASSOCREQIE/ASSOCRESPIE events because sending them causes a
32-bit wpa_supplicant on a 64-bit system to overwrite its
internal information, which is worse than it not getting the
information at all -- so we currently resort to sending a
custom string event that it then parses. This, however, has a
severe size limitation we are frequently hitting with modern
access points; this limitation would can be lifted after this
patch by sending the correct binary, not custom, event.
A similar problem apparently happens for some other netlink
users on x86_64 with 32-bit tasks due to the alignment for
64-bit quantities.
In order to fix these problems, I have implemented a way to
send compat messages to tasks. When sending an event, we send
the non-compat event data together with a compat event data in
skb_shinfo(main_skb)->frag_list. Then, when the event is read
from the socket, the netlink code makes sure to pass out only
the skb that is compatible with the task. This approach was
suggested by David Miller, my original approach required
always sending two skbs but that had various small problems.
To determine whether compat is needed or not, I have used the
MSG_CMSG_COMPAT flag, and adjusted the call path for recv and
recvfrom to include it, even if those calls do not have a cmsg
parameter.
I have not solved one small part of the problem, and I don't
think it is necessary to: if a 32-bit application uses read()
rather than any form of recvmsg() it will still get the wrong
(64-bit) event. However, neither do applications actually do
this, nor would it be a regression.

CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } }
Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best,
unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL)
Which formalizes this practice. One day gcc could bite us over this
usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far).

This patch moves code common to of_device_32.c and of_device_64.c into
of_device_common.h and of_device_common.c.
The only functional difference is in sparc32 where of_bus_default_map is
used in place of of_bus_sbus_map because they are equivelent.
There is still room for further code consolidation with some minor
refactoring.
Boot tested on sparc32 and compile tested on sparc64.

This patch converts dma_map_single and dma_unmap_single to use
map_page and unmap_page respectively and removes unnecessary

map_single but the opposite is impossible. Having only dma_map_page in
struct dma_ops is enough.

irq_choose_cpu() should compare the affinity mask against cpu_online_map
rather than CPU_MASK_ALL, since irq_select_affinity() sets the interrupt's
affinity mask to cpu_online_map "and" CPU_MASK_ALL (which ends up being
just cpu_online_map). The mask comparison in irq_choose_cpu() will always
fail since the two masks are not the same. So the CPU chosen is the first CPU
in the intersection of cpu_online_map and CPU_MASK_ALL, which is always CPU0.
That means all interrupts are reassigned to CPU0...
Distributing interrupts to CPUs in a linearly increasing round robin fashion
is not optimal for the UltraSPARC T1/T2. Also, the irq_rover in
irq_choose_cpu() causes an interrupt to be assigned to a different
processor each time the interrupt is allocated and released. This may lead
to an unbalanced distribution over time.
A static mapping of interrupts to processors is done to optimize and balance
interrupt distribution. For the T1/T2, interrupts are spread to different
cores first, and then to strands within a core.
The following is some benchmarks showing the effects of interrupt
distribution on a T2. The test was done with iperf using a pair of T5220
boxes, each with a 10GBe NIU (XAUI) connected back to back.

This gets us real close to the generic implementation of
setup_per_cpu_areas() except:
1) We store the per-cpu offset into the trap_block[], whereas
the generic code has it's own static array.
2) We have to initialize the %g5 register to hold the boot cpu's
per-cpu area offset.
3) The OBP/MDESC cpu info scan is performed at the end.

Now that we defer the cpu_data() initializations to the end of per-cpu
setup, we can get rid of this local hack we had to setup the per-cpu
areas eary.
This is a necessary step in order to support HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA
since the per-cpu setup must run when page structs are available.

sparc: Fix bus type probing for ESP and LE devices.
sparc32: Update defconfig.
sparc64: Update defconfig.
|
|
If there is a dummy "espdma" or "ledma" parent device above ESP scsi
or LE ethernet device nodes, we have to match the bus as SBUS.
Otherwise the address and size cell counts are wrong and we don't
calculate the final physical device resource values correctly at all.
Commit 5280267c1dddb8d413595b87dc406624bb497946 ("sparc: Fix handling
of LANCE and ESP parent nodes in of_device.c") was meant to fix this
problem, but that only influences the inner loop of
build_device_resources(). We need this logic to also kick in at the
beginning of build_device_resources() as well, when we make the first
attempt to determine the device's immediate parent bus type for 'reg'
property element extraction.
Based almost entirely upon a patch by Friedrich Oslage.

Setting ->owner as done currently (pde->owner = THIS_MODULE) is racy
as correctly noted at bug #12454. Someone can lookup entry with NULL
->owner, thus not pinning enything, and release it later resulting
in module refcount underflow.
We can keep ->owner and supply it at registration time like ->proc_fops
and ->data.
But this leaves ->owner as easy-manipulative field (just one C assignment)
and somebody will forget to unpin previous/pin current module when
switching ->owner. ->proc_fops is declared as "const" which should give
some thoughts.
->read_proc/->write_proc were just fixed to not require ->owner for
protection.
rmmod'ed directories will be empty and return "." and ".." -- no harm.
And directories with tricky enough readdir and lookup shouldn't be modular.
We definitely don't want such modular code.
Removing ->owner will also make PDE smaller.
So, let's nuke it.
Kudos to Jeff Layton for reminding about this, let's say, oversight.
