Some apps which use read() start the streaming through a call to poll(), this means that if another app has already claimed the device for streaming (through for example a s_fmt, or a reqbufs), that the poll should fail instead of getting passed through to vb2_poll. We only check for this when the app is polling for reads, so that ctrl events still work. Signed-off-by:

In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for. An example is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen in the video4linux subsystem among others. Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't provide that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it has a key field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL poll_table pointer. Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead of using the requested events mask. This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual events that should be polled for as set by the caller. The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table pointer itself. That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new poll_requested_events inline. The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events). Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually wait. If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the select() call without waiting. This might be useful information in order to avoid doing expensive work. A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use to detect this situation. This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h. This was the only place in the kernel that needed this information. Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions instead. In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them directly. This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used the key field to get the requested events. It's been replaced by a call to poll_requested_events(). For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past. Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile. Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll() function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument. This pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in the select()'s fdset matched the requested events. There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument: 1) obtain the key field: events = wait ? wait->key : ~0; This will still work although it should be replaced with the new poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same). This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL unnecessarily. 2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW. 3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL. However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though. There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens (sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch. Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait() actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen. Signed-off-by:

Add two changes that improve the performance of x86 systems 1. replace main loop with incrementing counter this change improves the performance of the selftest by about 5-6% on Nehalem CPUs. The apparent reason is that the compiler can use the loop index to perform an indexed memory access. This is reported to make the performance of PowerPC CPUs to get worse. 2. replace the rem_len loop with incrementing counter this change improves the performance of the selftest, which has more than the usual number of occurances, by about 1-2% on x86 CPUs. In actual work loads the length is most often a multiple of 4 bytes and this code does not get executed as often if at all. Again this change is reported to make the performance of PowerPC get worse.

crc32.c provides a choice of one of several algorithms for computing the LSB and LSB versions of the CRC32 checksum based on the parameters CRC_LE_BITS and CRC_BE_BITS. In the original version the values 1, 2, 4 and 8 respectively selected versions of the alrogithm that computed the crc 1, 2, 4 and 32 bits as a time. This patch series adds a new version that computes the CRC 64 bits at a time. To make things easier to understand the parameter has been reinterpreted to actually stand for the number of bits processed in each step of the algorithm so that the old value 8 has been replaced with the value 32. This also allows us to add in a widely used crc algorithm that computes the crc 8 bits at a time called the Sarwate algorithm. [djwong@us.ibm.com: Minor changelog tweaks] Signed-off-by:

Misc cleanup of lib/crc32.c and related files. - remove unnecessary header files. - straighten out some convoluted ifdef's - rewrite some references to 2 dimensional arrays as 1 dimensional arrays to make them correct. I.e. replace tab[i] with tab[0][i]. - a few trivial whitespace changes - fix a warning in gen_crc32tables.c caused by a mismatch in the type of the pointer passed to output table. Since the table is only used at kernel compile time, it is simpler to make the table big enough to hold the largest column size used. One cannot make the column size smaller in output_table because it has to be used by both the le and be tables and they can have different column sizes.

Replace the unit test provided in crc32.c, which doesn't have a makefile and doesn't compile with current headers, with a simpler self test routine that also gives a measure of performance and runs at module init time. The self test option can be enabled through a configuration option CONFIG_CRC32_SELFTEST. The test stresses the pre and post loops and is thus not very realistic since actual uses will likely have addresses and lengths that are at least 4 byte aligned. However, the main loop is long enough so that the performance is dominated by that loop. The expected values for crc32_le and crc32_be were generated with the original version of crc32.c using CRC_BITS_LE = 8 and CRC_BITS_BE = 8. These values were then used to check all the values of the BITS parameters in both the original and new versions. The performance results show some variability from run to run in spite of attempts to both warm the cache and reduce the amount of OS noise by limiting interrutps during the test. To get comparable results and to analyse options wrt performance the best time reported over a small sample of runs has been taken. [djwong@us.ibm.com: Minor changelog tweaks] Signed-off-by:

This patchset (re)uses Bob Pearson's crc32 slice-by-8 code to stamp out a software crc32c implementation. It removes the crc32c implementation in crypto/ in favor of using the stamped-out one in lib/. There is also a change to Kconfig so that the kernel builder can pick an implementation best suited for the hardware. The motivation for this patchset is that I am working on adding full metadata checksumming to ext4. As far as performance impact of adding checksumming goes, I see nearly no change with a standard mail server ffsb simulation. On a test that involves only file creation and deletion and extent tree writes, I see a drop of about 50 pcercent with the current kernel crc32c implementation; this improves to a drop of about 20 percent with the enclosed crc32c code. When metadata is usually a small fraction of total IO, this new implementation doesn't help much because metadata is usually a small fraction of total IO. However, when we are doing IO that is almost all metadata (such as rm -rf'ing a tree), then this patch speeds up the operation substantially. Incidentally, given that iscsi, sctp, and btrfs also use crc32c, this patchset should improve their speed as well. I have not yet quantified that, however. This latest submission combines Bob's patches from late August 2011 with mine so that they can be one coherent patch set. Please excuse my inability to combine some of the patches; I've been advised to leave Bob's patches alone and build atop them instead. :/ Since the last posting, I've also collected some crc32c test results on a bunch of different x86/powerpc/sparc platforms. The results can be viewed here: http://goo.gl/sgt3i ; the "crc32-kern-le" and "crc32c" columns describe the performance of the kernel's current crc32 and crc32c software implementations. The "crc32c-by8-le" column shows crc32c performance with this patchset applied. I expect crc32 performance to be roughly the same. The two _boost columns at the right side of the spreadsheet shows how much faster the new implementation is over the old one. As you can see, crc32 rises substantially, and crc32c experiences a huge increase.

checkpatch already makes an exception to the 80-column rule for quoted strings, and Documentation/CodingStyle recommends not splitting quoted strings across lines, because it breaks the ability to grep for the string. Rather than just permitting this, actively warn about quoted strings split across lines. Test case: void context(void) { struct { unsigned magic; const char *strdata; } foo[] = { { 42, "these strings" "do not produce warnings" }, { 256, "though perhaps" "they should" }, }; pr_err("this string" " should produce a warning\n"); pr_err("this multi-line string\n" "should not produce a warning\n"); asm ("this asm\n\t" "should not produce a warning"); } Results of checkpatch on that test case: WARNING: quoted string split across lines + " should produce a warning\n"); total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 15 lines checked Signed-off-by:Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Acked-by:
