DMA Engine test module has module parameters to set the number of source buffers for xor and pq operations. We can set these values larger than the maximum number of sources that the device can support. These values are not adjusted and the unsupported number of source buffers are passed to the device. But most drivers don't check it, so unexpected results will happen. This makes an appropriate adjustment for these module parameters before use.

vchan_dma_desc_free_list() iterates through each virt_dma_desc in the specified list_head and calls vchan->desc_free(). We can use it instead of repeated execution of pl08x_desc_free() for each virt_dma_desc in the list_head. Because vchan->desc_free callback is set as pl08x_desc_free() for amba-pl08x driver.

dw_dmac driver already supports device tree but it used to have its platform data passed the non-DT way. This patch does following changes: - pass platform data via DT, non-DT way still takes precedence if both are used. - create generic filter routine - Earlier slave information was made available by slave specific filter routines in chan->private field. Now, this information would be passed from within dmac DT node. Slave drivers would now be required to pass bus_id (a string) as parameter to this generic filter(), which would be compared against the slave data passed from DT, by the generic filter routine. - Update binding document Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org> Reviewed-by: Andy Shevchenko <andriy.shevchenko@linux.intel.com> [Fixed __devinit usage] Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@linux.intel.com>

This is based upon the work by Benoit Cousson [1] and Nicolas Ferre [2] to add some basic helpers to retrieve a DMA controller device_node and the DMA request/channel information. Aim of DMA helpers - The purpose of device-tree is to describe the capabilites of the hardware. Thinking about DMA controllers purely from the context of the hardware to begin with, we can describe a device in terms of a DMA controller as follows ... 1. Number of DMA controllers 2. Number of channels (maybe physical or logical) 3. Mapping of DMA requests signals to DMA controller 4. Number of DMA interrupts 5. Mapping of DMA interrupts to channels - With the above in mind the aim of the DT DMA helper functions is to extract the above information from the DT and provide to the appropriate driver. However, due to the vast number of DMA controllers and not all are using a common driver (such as DMA Engine) it has been seen that this is not a trivial task. In previous discussions on this topic the following concerns have been raised ... 1. How does the binding support devices with multiple DMA controllers? 2. How to support both legacy DMA controllers not using DMA Engine as well as those that support DMA Engine. 3. When using with DMA Engine how do we support the various implementations where the opaque filter function parameter differs between implementations? 4. How do we handle DMA channels that are identified with a string versus a integer? - Hence the design of the DMA helpers has to accomodate the above or align on an agreement what can be or should be supported. Design of DMA helpers 1. Registering DMA controllers In the case of DMA controllers that are using DMA Engine, requesting a channel is performed by calling the following function. struct dma_chan *dma_request_channel(dma_cap_mask_t mask, dma_filter_fn filter_fn, void *filter_param); The mask variable is used to match a type of the device controller in a list of controllers. The filter_fn and filter_param are used to identify the required dma channel and return a handle to the dma channel of type dma_chan. From the examples I have seen, the mask and filter_fn are constant for a given DMA controller and therefore, we can specify these as controller specific data when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. The filter_param variable is of an unknown type and is typically specific to the DMA engine implementation for a given DMA controller. To allow some flexibility in the type and formating of this filter_param we employ an xlate to translate the device-tree binding information into the appropriate format. The xlate function used for a DMA controller can also be specified when registering the DMA controller with the device-tree DMA helpers. Based upon the above, a function for registering the DMA controller with the DMA helpers now looks like the below. The data variable is used to pass a pointer to DMA controller specific data used by the xlate function. int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np, struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate) (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *), void *data) For example, in the case where DMA engine is used, we define the following structure (that stores the DMA engine capability mask and filter function) and pass this to the data variable in the above function. struct of_dma_filter_info { dma_cap_mask_t dma_cap; dma_filter_fn filter_fn; }; 2. Representing and requesting channel information Please see the dma binding documentation included in this patch for a description of how DMA controllers and client information should be represented with device-tree. For more information on how this binding came about please see [3]. In addition to this, feedback received from the Linux kernel summit showed a consensus (among those who attended) to use a name to identify DMA client information [4]. A DMA channel can be requested by calling the following function, where name is a required parameter used for identifying a DMA channel. This function has been designed to return a structure of type dma_chan to work with the DMA engine driver. Note that if DMA engine is used then drivers should be using the DMA engine API dma_request_slave_channel() (implemented in part 2 of this series, "dmaengine: add helper function to request a slave DMA channel") which will in turn call the below function if device-tree is present. The aim being to have a common DMA engine interface regardless of whether device tree is being used. struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np, char *name) 3. Supporting legacy devices not using DMA Engine These devices present a problem, as there may not be a uniform way to easily support them with regard to device tree. Ideally, these should be migrated to DMA engine. However, if this is not possible, then they should still be able to use this binding, the only constaint imposed by this implementation is that when requesting a DMA channel via of_dma_request_slave_channel(), it will return a type of dma_chan. This implementation has been tested on OMAP4430 using the kernel v3.6-rc5. I have validated that MMC is working on the PANDA board with this implementation. My development branch for testing on OMAP can be found here [5]. v6: - minor corrections in DMA binding documentation v5: - minor update to binding documentation - added loop to exhaustively search for a slave channel in the case where there could be alternative channels available v4: - revert the removal of xlate function from v3 - update the proposed binding format and APIs based upon discussions [3] v3: - avoid passing an xlate function and instead pass DMA engine parameters - define number of dma channels and requests in dma-controller node v2: - remove of_dma_to_resource API - make property #dma-cells required (no fallback anymore) - another check in of_dma_xlate_onenumbercell() function [1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.drivers.devicetree/12022 [2] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.arm.omap/73622 [3] http://marc.info/?l=linux-omap&m=133582085008539&w=2 [4] http://pad.linaro.org/arm-mini-summit-2012 [5] https://github.com/jonhunter/linux/tree/dev-dt-dma Cc: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Cc: Benoit Cousson <b-cousson@ti.com> Cc: Stephen Warren <swarren@nvidia.com> Cc: Grant Likely <grant.likely@secretlab.ca> Cc: Russell King <linux@arm.linux.org.uk> Cc: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@intel.com> Cc: Dan Williams <djbw@fb.com> Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Reviewed-by: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com> Signed-off-by: Jon Hunter <jon-hunter@ti.com> Reviewed-by: Stephen Warren <swarren@wwwdotorg.org> Acked-by: Rob Herring <rob.herring@calxeda.com> Signed-off-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@linux.intel.com>

Currently slave DMA channels are requested by calling dma_request_channel() and requires DMA clients to pass various filter parameters to obtain the appropriate channel. With device-tree being used by architectures such as arm and the addition of device-tree helper functions to extract the relevant DMA client information from device-tree, add a new function to request a slave DMA channel using device-tree. This function is currently a simple wrapper that calls the device-tree of_dma_request_slave_channel() function.

-
Javier Martinez Canillas authored
commit a99d76f9 leds: leds-gpio: use gpio_request_one changed the leds-gpio driver to use gpio_request_one() instead of gpio_request() + gpio_direction_output() Unfortunately, it also made a semantic change that breaks the leds-gpio driver. The gpio_request_one() flags parameter was set to: GPIOF_DIR_OUT | (led_dat->active_low ^ state) Since GPIOF_DIR_OUT is 0, the final flags value will just be the XOR'ed value of led_dat->active_low and state. This value were used to distinguish between HIGH/LOW output initial level and call gpio_direction_output() accordingly. With this new semantic gpio_request_one() will take the flags value of 1 as a configuration of input direction (GPIOF_DIR_IN) and will call gpio_direction_input() instead of gpio_direction_output(). int gpio_request_one(unsigned gpio, unsigned long flags, const char *label) { .. if (flags & GPIOF_DIR_IN) err = gpio_direction_input(gpio); else err = gpio_direction_output(gpio, (flags & GPIOF_INIT_HIGH) ? 1 : 0); .. } The right semantic is to evaluate led_dat->active_low ^ state and set the output initial level explicitly.

Recently I suggested using "mount -o remount,mpol=local /tmp" in NUMA mempolicy testing. Very nasty. Reading /proc/mounts, /proc/pid/mounts or /proc/pid/mountinfo may then corrupt one bit of kernel memory, often in a page table (causing "Bad swap" or "Bad page map" warning or "Bad pagetable" oops), sometimes in a vm_area_struct or rbnode or somewhere worse. "mpol=prefer" and "mpol=prefer:Node" are equally toxic. Recent NUMA enhancements are not to blame: this dates back to 2.6.35, when commit e17f74af "mempolicy: don't call mpol_set_nodemask() when no_context" skipped mpol_parse_str()'s call to mpol_set_nodemask(), which used to initialize v.preferred_node, or set MPOL_F_LOCAL in flags. With slab poisoning, you can then rely on mpol_to_str() to set the bit for node 0x6b6b, probably in the next page above the caller's stack. mpol_parse_str() is only called from shmem_parse_options(): no_context is always true, so call it unused for now, and remove !no_context code. Set v.nodes or v.preferred_node or MPOL_F_LOCAL as mpol_to_str() might expect. Then mpol_to_str() can ignore its no_context argument also, the mpol being appropriately initialized whether contextualized or not. Rename its no_context unused too, and let subsequent patch remove them (that's not needed for stable backporting, which would involve rejects). I don't understand why MPOL_LOCAL is described as a pseudo-policy: it's a reasonable policy which suffers from a confusing implementation in terms of MPOL_PREFERRED with MPOL_F_LOCAL. I believe this would be much more robust if MPOL_LOCAL were recognized in switch statements throughout, MPOL_F_LOCAL deleted, and MPOL_PREFERRED use the (possibly empty) nodes mask like everyone else, instead of its preferred_node variant (I presume an optimization from the days before MPOL_LOCAL). But that would take me too long to get right and fully tested. Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

EPOLL_CTL_MOD sets the interest mask before calling f_op->poll() to ensure events are not missed. Since the modifications to the interest mask are not protected by the same lock as ep_poll_callback, we need to ensure the change is visible to other CPUs calling ep_poll_callback. We also need to ensure f_op->poll() has an up-to-date view of past events which occured before we modified the interest mask. So this barrier also pairs with the barrier in wq_has_sleeper(). This should guarantee either ep_poll_callback or f_op->poll() (or both) will notice the readiness of a recently-ready/modified item.
