include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32Z

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.

[SCSI] scsi_transport_sas: add support for transport layer retries (TLR)

2010-02-08T23:15:19Z

The mpt2sas driver wants to use transport layer retries (TLR) so the simplest thing to do seems to be to add the enabling flags and checks to the SAS transport class, since they're a SAS specific protocol feature. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley

[SCSI] eliminate potential kmalloc failure in scsi_get_vpd_page()

[SCSI] fc-transport: Use packed modifier for fc_bsg_request structure.

2010-01-17T18:36:33Z

The 32bit kernel does not add padding bytes in the fc_bsg_request structure whereas the 64bit kernel adds padding bytes in the fc_bsg_request structure. Due to this, structure elements gets mismatched with 32bit application and 64bit kernel.To resolve this, used packed modifier to avoid adding padding bytes.

libsrp: fix compile failure

2009-12-30T20:23:27Z

commit 45465487897a1c6d508b14b904dc5777f7ec7e04 ("kfifo: move struct kfifo in place") caused a compile failure in ibmvscsitgt.c because it changed a pointer to kfifo in the libsrp.h structure to a direct inclusion without including . The fix is simple, just add the include, but how did this happen? This change, introduced at -rc2, hardly looks like a bug fix, and it clearly didn't go through linux-next, which would have picked up this compile failure (it only occurs on ppc because of the ibm virtual scsi target).

kfifo: move struct kfifo in place

2009-12-22T22:17:55Z

This is a new generic kernel FIFO implementation. The current kernel fifo API is not very widely used, because it has to many constrains. Only 17 files in the current 2.6.31-rc5 used it. FIFO's are like list's a very basic thing and a kfifo API which handles the most use case would save a lot of development time and memory resources. I think this are the reasons why kfifo is not in use: - The API is to simple, important functions are missing - A fifo can be only allocated dynamically - There is a requirement of a spinlock whether you need it or not - There is no support for data records inside a fifo So I decided to extend the kfifo in a more generic way without blowing up the API to much. The new API has the following benefits: - Generic usage: For kernel internal use and/or device driver. - Provide an API for the most use case. - Slim API: The whole API provides 25 functions. - Linux style habit. - DECLARE_KFIFO, DEFINE_KFIFO and INIT_KFIFO Macros - Direct copy_to_user from the fifo and copy_from_user into the fifo. - The kfifo itself is an in place member of the using data structure, this save an indirection access and does not waste the kernel allocator. - Lockless access: if only one reader and one writer is active on the fifo, which is the common use case, no additional locking is necessary. - Remove spinlock - give the user the freedom of choice what kind of locking to use if one is required. - Ability to handle records. Three type of records are supported: - Variable length records between 0-255 bytes, with a record size field of 1 bytes. - Variable length records between 0-65535 bytes, with a record size field of 2 bytes. - Fixed size records, which no record size field. - Preserve memory resource. - Performance! - Easy to use! This patch: Since most users want to have the kfifo as part of another object, reorganize the code to allow including struct kfifo in another data structure. This requires changing the kfifo_alloc and kfifo_init prototypes so that we pass an existing kfifo pointer into them. This patch changes the implementation and all existing users.

[SCSI] libosd: Fix blk_put_request locking again

2009-12-10T14:54:17Z

So libosd has decided to sacrifice some code simplicity for the sake of a clean API. One of these things is the possibility for users to call osd_end_request, in any condition at any state. This opens up some problems with calling blk_put_request when out-side of the completion callback but calling __blk_put_request when detecting a from-completion state. The current hack was working just fine until exofs decided to operate on all devices in parallel and wait for the sum of the requests, before deallocating all osd-requests at once. There are two new possible cases 1. All request in a group are deallocated as part of the last request's async-done, request_queue is locked. 2. All request in a group where executed asynchronously, but de-allocation was delayed to after the async-done, in the context of another thread. Async execution but request_queue is not locked. The solution I chose was to separate the deallocation of the osd_request which has the information users need, from the deallocation of the internal(2) requests which impose the locking problem. The internal block-requests are freed unconditionally inside the async-done-callback, when we know the queue is always locked. If at osd_end_request time we still have a bock-request, then we know it did not come from within an async-done-callback and we can call the regular blk_put_request. The internal requests were used for carrying error information after execution. This information is now copied to osd_request members for later analysis by user code. The external API and behaviour was unchanged, except now it really supports what was previously advertised.
