Remove the global dependency of the I2C subsystem on HAS_IOMEM and move the dependency to the i2c/busses submenu, with an exception for i2c-stub. The generic I2C part does not need to have HAS_IOMEM set and thus now becomes available in UML, so the I2C subsystem can now be used, e.g. by the i2c-stub driver, for development of I2C device drivers.

Converting kzalloc to devm_kzalloc simplifies the code and ensures that the result, alert, is freed after the irq allocated by the subsequent devm_request_irq. This in turn ensures that when an interrupt can be triggered, the alert structure is still available. The problem of a free after a devm_request_irq was found using the following semantic match (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r exists@ expression e1,e2,x,a,b,c,d; identifier free; position p1,p2; @@ devm_request_irq@p1(e1,e2,...,x) ... when any when != e2 = a when != x = b if (...) { ... when != e2 = c when != x = d free@p2(...,x,...); ... return ...; } // </smpl> Signed-off-by:

Let I2C bus segments behind multiplexers have a class. This allows for device auto-detection on these segments. As long as parent segments don't share the same class, it should be fine. I implemented support in drivers i2c-mux-gpio and i2c-mux-pca954x. I left i2c-mux-pca9541 and i2c-mux-pinctrl alone for the moment as I don't know if this feature makes sense for the use cases of these drivers. Signed-off-by: -

Using a recursive call add a non-conflicting region in __reserve_region_with_split() could result in a stack overflow in the case that the recursive calls are too deep. Convert the recursive calls to an iterative loop to avoid the problem. Tested on a machine containing 135 regions. The kernel no longer panicked with stack overflow. Also tested with code arbitrarily adding regions with no conflict, embedding two consecutive conflicts and embedding two non-consecutive conflicts. Signed-off-by:

Because udev use is so widespread, making the old static mapping the default is too conservative, given the severe limitations it places on usable AoE addresses. Storage virtualization and larger shelves have made the old limitations too confining. These changes make the dynamic block device minor numbers the default, removing the limitations on usable AoE addresses. The static arrangement is still available with aoe_dyndevs=0, and the aoe-stat tool from the userland aoetools package, the user space counterpart to the aoe driver, recognizes the case where there is a mismatch between the minor number in sysfs and the minor number in a special device file.

The ATA over Ethernet protocol uses a major (shelf) and minor (slot) address to identify a particular storage target. These changes remove an artificial limitation the aoe driver imposes on the use of AoE addresses. For example, without these changes, the slot address has a maximum of 15, but users commonly use slot numbers much greater than that. The AoE shelf and slot address space is often used sparsely. Instead of using a static mapping between AoE addresses and the block device minor number, the block device minor numbers are now allocated on demand. Signed-off-by:

The internal version number of the aoe driver appears in a console message when the driver loads and is usually obtained by the user with the userland aoe-version tool, part of the aoetools.[1] Although this patchset includes bugfixes backported from higher-numbered versions published on the coraid.com website, it is a form of version 49. 1. http://aoetools.sourceforge.net/Signed-off-by:

In the driver code, "target" and aoetgt refer to a particular remote interface on the AoE storage target. The latter is identified by its AoE major and minor addresses. Commands that are being sent to an AoE storage target {major, minor} can be sent or retransmitted to any of the remote MAC addresses associated with the AoE storage target. That is, frames are naturally associated with not an aoetgt (AoE major, AoE minor, remote MAC address) but an aoedev (AoE major, AoE minor). Making the code reflect that reality simplifies the driver, especially when the path to a remote MAC address becomes unusable. Signed-off-by: -

A guard is inserted to prevent AoE minor addresses (slot addresses) higher than 15 to be used, as they are not yet supported by the driver. There is a change coming that will allow the aoe driver to overcome this limit by using system device minor numbers dynamically, but until then, this guard prevents unexpected targets from being used by the driver when AoE targets with high minor numbers are on the AoE network.

The discovery process begins with an optional AoE config query command and an AoE config query response. Normally when an aoe device is already open, the config query response does not trigger an ATA identify device command to be sent out, since the response contains storage capacity information that, if changed, could surprise the user of the device. The userland "aoe-revalidate" tool uses a character device to trigger an AoE config query for a particular AoE storage target and an ATA device identify command, even when the device is open. This change causes the config query to go out first, reflecting the normal discovery sequence. The responses could come back in any order, so this change is fairly cosmetic. Signed-off-by:

The aoe_deadsecs module parameter allows the user to specify a hard limit on the number of seconds an AoE command can be retransmitted before the AoE block device is considered to have failed. Using aoe_deadsecs to determine the time we try using a different remote interface helps to ensure that the hard limit is not reached before we've tried to recover by sending to a different remote port. As a data storage target, the AoE target is unambiguously identified by its {major, minor} AoE address tuple, and an AoE target can have multiple MAC addresses. However, note that "target" in the driver code and comments means a {major, minor, MAC address} tuple, as in "somewhere to send packets". Signed-off-by: -

Users with several network interfaces dedicated to AoE generally do not configure them to support different-sized AoE data payloads on purpose. For a given AoE target, there will be a set of local network interfaces that can reach it. Using only the payload that will fit in the smallest-sized MTU of all those local interfaces greatly simplifies the driver, especially in failure scenarios. Signed-off-by:

The dev_queue_xmit function needs to have interrupts enabled, so the most simple way to get the locking right but still fulfill that requirement is to use a process that can call dev_queue_xmit serially over queued transmissions. Signed-off-by:

To allow users to choose an elevator algorithm for their particular workloads, change from a make_request-style driver to an I/O-request-queue-handler-style driver. We have to do a couple of things that might be surprising. We manipulate the page _count directly on the assumption that we still have no guarantee that users of the block layer are prohibited from submitting bios containing pages with zero reference counts.[1] If such a prohibition now exists, I can get rid of the _count manipulation. Just as before this patch, we still keep track of the sk_buffs that the network layer still hasn't finished yet and cap the resources we use with a "pool" of skbs.[2] Now that the block layer maintains the disk stats, the aoe driver's diskstats function can go away. 1. https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/1/374 2. https://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/6/241Signed-off-by:

Make the frames the aoe driver uses to track the relationship between bios and packets more flexible and detached, so that they can be passed to an "aoe_ktio" thread for completion of I/O. The frames are handled much like skbs, with a capped amount of preallocation so that real-world use cases are likely to run smoothly and degenerate gracefully even under memory pressure. Decoupling I/O completion from the receive path and serializing it in a process makes it easier to think about the correctness of the locking in the driver, especially in the case of a remote MAC address becoming unusable.

tAdd adds the ability to work with large packets composed of a number of segments, using the scatter gather feature of the block layer (biovecs) and the network layer (skb frag array). The motivation is the performance gained by using a packet data payload greater than a page size and by using the network card's scatter gather feature. Users of the out-of-tree aoe driver already had these changes, but since early 2011, they have complained of increased memory utilization and higher CPU utilization during heavy writes.[1] The commit below appears related, as it disables scatter gather on non-IP protocols inside the harmonize_features function, even when the NIC supports sg. commit f01a5236 Author: Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com> Date: Sun Jan 9 06:23:31 2011 +0000 net offloading: Generalize netif_get_vlan_features(). With that regression in place, transmits always linearize sg AoE packets, but in-kernel users did not have this patch. Before 2.6.38, though, these changes were working to allow sg to increase performance. 1. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg15184.htmlSigned-off-by:

Add discard support to nbd. If the nbd-server supports discard, it will send NBD_FLAG_SEND_TRIM to the client. The client will then set the flag in the kernel via NBD_SET_FLAGS, which tells the kernel to enable discards for the device (QUEUE_FLAG_DISCARD). If discard support is enabled, then when the nbd client system receives a discard request, this will be passed along to the nbd-server. When the discard request is received by the nbd-server, it will perform: fallocate(.. FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE ..) To punch a hole in the backend storage, which is no longer needed. Signed-off-by:

Add a set-flags ioctl, allowing various option flags to be set on an nbd device. This allows the nbd-client to set the device flags (to enable read-only mode, or enable discard support, etc.). Flags are typically specified by the nbd-server. During the negotiation phase of the nbd connection, the server sends its flags to the client. The client then uses NBD_SET_FLAGS to inform the kernel of the options. Also included is a one-line fix to debug output for the set-timeout ioctl. Signed-off-by:
